Aids, Racism, Greed is good and a very Conservative decade. Yes I guess it was a great decade.

Great topic!
I was only 9 when 1980 began, so my scope of what was great was relatively small.  ;D


This was the movie I most wanted to see:

And it did not disappoint.

I first heard this group at the local roller rink at the time and loved it. Wasn't allowed to purchase it, but loved it.

I moved from a small town to a much bigger one, and it opened up so much more to do!

I don't think I would have liked the early 80's, 1980 to 1982. I definitely would have loved 1984, and after.

It WAS a great decade. But, in the 80s I was too young to know that. I knew I was living in a perfect world because my parents got me a Jem and the Holograms doll in 1986  ;D. And everyone wore eccentric and not so eccentric clothing, including myself. My mom wore her 80s make up beautifully...it was colorful and fun. At night going to the department stores was amazing! There were colorful light fixtures everywhere which made it fun to be in.

I could go on and on but I'll stop here! ;D

I knew I was living a great decade in 1985, 1986!

The MTV music video line ups were amazing! I still remember them  8)

It might have been the time when I saw new wave and synth pop acts on MTV. The new pop brought forth a sense of optimism that was hard to define. It seemed to show the start of a better era. It felt like a clean slate.
