Definately big hair, using tons of hairspray until your hair is completely frozen solid from the chemicals in what I would call a "big hair" statue.

BTW, I love that signature, here's my unpopular president Bush pic, http://img344.imageshack.us/my.php?image=macholittlebush2ab.jpg

Jeans that had pleats and were baggy, and tapered down the legs.
Colored braces. Wasn't there a fad in the late '80s of wearing braces even if your teeth didn't need them?
Wham!/George Michael
Culture Club/Boy George
The tv show "Who's The Boss?"
The tv show "Growing Pains"
The tv show "Webster"

I LOVED the 80s tooo much for me to call anything from then, cheesy.  I enjoyed the 80s the best out of the 80s, 90s, and even now in the 00's.

Nothing can be worse than 'Hello'.  From the video to the corny lines.  :o

At least you can play 'All Night Long' and 'Dancing On The Ceiling' at parties.....there isn't much you can do with 'Hello' other then just wince.

Oh, I'll admit some tv shows were cheezy, but don't pick on the hair. I loved the 80's hair styles, i would love to see the ladies wear 80's hair, and even the mullets on the guys! Although, the girls who did the pony tail on the top of the head thing, that was cheezy.

On the subject of mullets.... I think mullets are pretty cheesy.  ;D
