Sunhawk 08/19/19 10:25:12 AM #1:	So many things to like. Films like Videodrome, Prince of Darkness, The Breakfast Club, Gremlins, and so on. TV shows like Miami Vice. Some good music, and the new MTV entertained a lot of people. The 2nd generation of video games, which had plenty of good stuff. Fashion was interesting, featuring girls with big hair, short skirts, and such. Lots of cool stuff. It would've been nice to have lived then. --- It has been 0 days since something interesting happened. Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me. <cite>Sunhawk posted [p:926259809] in 1980s Amer...

Bananana 08/19/19 9:58:14 PM #23:	Persecuted groups (minorities, homosexuals, etc) didnt like the 80s so much because they basically were fighting an unwinnable fight and the majority of the country wasnt on their side.
