The 80s ruled

I hate the 80s, it's like the world has sunken to another dimension for 10 years, where nothing is cool.
Everybody knows the 70s were much more awesome.

I was actually born in 1980, so I caught it all. Best decade of my life. I'd actually rate my life in the following order. 80s -> 90s -> 00s. Not a coincidence.


This is what I'm talking about. You were a toddler for half that decade. Of course it was the best time of your life, all you had to do was shit and suck your moms tits. You didn't even have to go to school for most of it.


So instead the 80's it's more that you liked being single-digit aged. You really have to be at least in HS to appreciate a decade. Or be a slutty/drug using Jr. highschooler.

I knew someone would post an 80s Lamborghini when I said what I said. There are exceptions, especially with supercars and as you get closer to the 90s, but the majority of autos in the 80s didn't have it going on. That was like, the box era or something.
 
I grew up in the 80s, then was a teen in the 90s...we always made fun of the 80s and thought the 60s and 70s were the coolest. But now 90s pop culture is looking cheesy and 80s music is enjoying a revival and has influenced a lot of popular artists...

But god man, people thought that stuff was unironically cool.
Some would argue that it's the lack of irony that made the 80s great. People were fucking pumped to live in the 80s.

How bout, no. I can remember back as far as 3 or 4 years old. I remember watching shows like Alf, The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Cheers, etc. Cartoons like Transformers, GI Joe, Gobots, Voltron, etc. I'm not you. Just cause you don't remember shit before age 10 doesn't mean no one else does. GTFO with that high school shit. :lol Music, cartoons, tv shows (especially sitcoms) have ALL gotten progressive worse from the 80s.

Thank you. This guy also needs to read my post for further incite into why he is so horribly wrong and just projecting his disgruntled lack of 80's recollection on everyone else.
 
If there was anything good about the 80s, it was due to the fact that eventually 31st Dec 1989 came along.

Seinfeld, Frasier, Friends, Larry Sanders Show, Spaced, Office, Peep Show, Arrested Development, Father Ted, Scrubs, Curb,Mighty Boosh.

All sitcoms made since the 80's and all comfortably better than the ones you listed(Cheers aside) and there a lot more that I could have listed. Cartoons? Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, South Park etc.

The 80's were shit. Accept it.

80's had KILLER movies

In the 80s, Blade Runner and The Thing were released to theaters and they FLOPPED.

This was also when Once Upon A Time In America came out in US theaters after being drastically butchered by the studio, and it flopped.

For this, the 80s fail.

1978-81 Celica. WTF DID THEY DO TO MY CAR

The 80's styling in cars was truly horrible, and it claimed many once great cars that took the better part of the 80's and 90's to get back to a satisfactory level. I think the problems in style started in the late 70's, but by the 80's they were in full swing.
 
Three major sports were FAR better in the 80's:

NFL (debateable)
NHL (no debate)
NBA (without question)


The only sport that is actually better today is the MLB.
 
why are you people posting shitty one hit wonders from the 80's.

When i think of the 80's that I liked (and there isn't very much of it)) I think of:



REM, Radio Free Europe (and pretty much the whole murmur album)

And if I have to pick a one hit wonder from the 80's:

Simple Minds Don't you Forget about me.

Are we forgetting where we are? The 80's brought us the Famicom/NES!

Super Mario Bros, Zelda, Metroid, Contra, Castlevania, Mega Man, Metal Gear, etc all invented in the 80s.
