The 80s / myLot

February 5, 2023 10:22pm CST

Any 80s kids here? The eighties was definitely a different kind of generation. As with any era, there was good and bad. Maybe I am partial, but I think the 80s was one of the best generations. We were vocal and noticeable. The hair and the clothing were definitely impossible to miss. The thing I loved most about the eighties was I got to vote for Ronald Reagan as president, I got married, and the movement to return to Christian family values. There are things about the eighties that I like then, but would never want to see again: the big hair, shoulder pads, moon boots, parachute pants, and jam shorts. What about you? What did you love or hate about the 80s?

Shoulder pads are still in but they make them smaller. The thing I love about the eighties is the music.The songs just have a good effect on the mind and soul and will never grow old .

I love eighties music. I, only, listen to Christian music now. And in the eighties, I mostly listened to Christian music. Even the Christian music was best in the eighties.

I liked the music of Duran Duran and other artists of that era.

I remember the group. But I don't remember any particular song by them.

I was born in late seventies. So, I am close to the eighties generation. Eighties were fun, some really cool fashion and definitely the timeless golden music of Bollywood. The music is still so much loved.

@gnatsmom I can say that about music from that Golden era of seventies and eighties. They were soulful and meaningful.
