[USAPump]

Me being born in the 90s I'm just curious.

A life without cell phones, been a blessing and a curse.

Elementary school.

I didn't have arthritis then... I miss that when it's cold and wet.

[jamalfudge]

There were no ******* millenials.

[so-tex]

Damn near everything.

I miss Nanette Stravinski. She played clarinet in the band and had braces. She wasn't really my girlfriend. I just kind of imagined she was

Always my pleasure, Mr. Ocean.

Now we're getting down to the meat and potatoes...

Her name was Kelly K and she was my first. My truck smelled like a whore house most of the time while dating her. I don't think we ever had an opportunity anywhere else. I used to be a lot more flexible in the 80's...

THE MUSIC

[Caesura75]

1. Music
2. Fashion
3. Action Movies (Sly/Arnie etc)
4. No ****ty health & safety rules! We had fun without the constant rules and warnings.
5. Lamborghini Countach (although it's apparently horrible to drive and even worse to reverse park)
6. Don't forget the bullworker! This is how Lee Haney got all his muscles!

I was just a kid so...

Snow racing - Had more snow around here back then. Daring each other to do increasingly dangerous jumps or if you were a badass, go down the
local "slope of death" and "slope of broken bones."


"Palla" or stealing fruit/apples and stuff from peoples' backyards and being chased by old angry get off my lawn guys. One friend (a bit special)
would get so scared he could cry while running for his life. A sight to be seen.


Commodore 64 gaming , discovering boobs, certain movie premieres - ghost busters and back to the future...and more.

being 6, being 7, being 8, being 9, being 10, being 11, being 12, being 13, being 14, being 15.

[DuracellBunny]

Pong.

Songs written by the people that sing them.

Pants worn on the waist, not halfway down the butt.

Movies. An 80's movie is a special thing.

[latebloomingmom]

Big Hair Baby!

[Guinea-pig]

Gilley's

[Squid24]

There is not one thing I could add to the list. All of the above, except Nanette Stravinski and Kelly K. I am sorry to say, I did not know them. Could be my loss, I will never know......

[StressMonkey]

I've seen lots of old print ads advertising how not to be skinny so that big guys won't kick sand in your face. I've never seen one where the goal was to be the big guy doing that! So weird.

That's not accurate. I was born in the 70's and we were the first to experience video games. The home version of Pong was 70's.

[7Seconds]

Mall arcades. The social interaction of arcades, roller rinks, malls etc. that was such a part of my youth is something my kids are missing out on I think. Maybe I am just old.


+ I do have a refurbished Galaga arcade cabinet I bought many years ago. My wife hates it, my kids laugh at it, but I still play it from time to time. Yes I am old.

That music is iconic!

I've got it on my phone.

National Aerobics Championships

[pryme]

The original Nintendo coming out. Having to blow on the games. My Haro bicycle. Mash (terrible for a kid) having to look through a phone book for things and my moms little book for the numbers for grandparents and cousins. Sat morning cartoons. Ground round penny per pound meals. Garbage pail kid cards

[sumolgi]

and you could drink water from a garden hose without an imminent death lecture then too...

[gleason73]

pretty much all of this stuff...

...and the highly anticipated arrival of the newest Sears catalogue to peruse the lingerie section in the washroom!!!

[DuracellBunny]

You didn't have to worry about being an ist or phobe every time you spoke.

[Mumra]

Damn near everything.

so much this.

[Bando]

The Camaros. The 3rd Gen F-Body was the best looking car GM ever made.

[Caesura75]

One of those movie clips that would only have been set in the 80s. ED 209 scared the s**t out of me.
