  Oh goodness......BOL I was born in the 80's. I remember vcrs, pagers, The Labyrinth, Flight of the Navigator - I've got both on DVD. Ponytails to the side. Hypercolour t-shirts. slap-bands, Punky Brewster, and everything in neon. Farewell the 80s I don't miss you one bit...well...ok, maybe a few things

[Sis]

Ya know, I wasn't into popular music at that time, so I know next to nothing about 80s music.

[MelodyB]

Did anyone else have a pogo ball? I had to use mine barefooted and I would get blisters on the inside of my feet!

[MelodyB]

Shot thru the heart, and you're to blame, Baby you gave loveeee, a bad name, bad name, bad name....



Oops!

[Amelia Bedelia]

I remember being happy the 90s came along and thinking people had repented of the 80s fashions and we'd never be subjected to them again..... *looks around* at this rate I'll see the 80s come back 2 or 3 more times in my lifetime

Carebears, I remember them lol Does anyone else remember the Ewoks cartoon series?

Cabbage patch kids

Our neighbour had a pogo ball I think

I really don't remember many music video clips from the 80s or songs....i think I was too young to appreciate glam rock

every 80s cartoon - Thundercats, Ewoks, Carebears, Fraggle Rock (not really a cartoon-but anyway) Captain Planet (even though that was probably more 90s) The Snorks, Inspector Gadget, Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers, etc.

[Sis]

I still have an original, working Nintendo and some games.

[Melody]

I was born in '79 so I was an 80's kid essentially.  The only problem with remembering 80's things sometimes is that all the 70's shows and stuff were on as reruns..lol  So I remember a lot of those.

I remember the smurfs (cause I wasn't allowed to watch them...lol) She-ra, He-man, and the power of gray skull! lol

I had a Rainbow Brite doll and a strawberry shortcake friend who's breath smelled like some sweet desert. 

Big bangs, top ponytails, plastic adornment of every kind. 

Lip gloss for kids seemed to have become big in the 80's I think for.

folding over jean cuffs and rolling them, whatever it was called. 

cut off sweatshirts, ugh! the worst look EVER. especially when added to those MC hammer pants.  those were so awful...lol

Mr.T and the whole WWF toy line, every boy seemed obsessed with them.

Feathered hair lasted into the 80's, waaay too long if you ask me...lol

hilarious!

[RainbowJingles]

Ms. Pac Man!!!  Oh YEAH!

Mom and I used to play at the grocery store after we checked out.  If we got ice cream, that wasn't always a good thing.  lol

[Sis]

I liked feathered hair. Farrah had it!
