A ghetto blaster was considered portable music.
Zaxxon was cool because it looked 3D.
You know the significance of "Video Killed the Radio Star."

I was both a 70s kid and an 80s kid, so I'll chime in ...
You had a trapper keeper
"Kawabunga dude ..."
You wondered why Smurfette had 20 of the same dress in her closet ...
Donkey Kong was the cutting edge in gaming
Your socks and shirt match and guess jeans were all the rage ...
Rap lyrics were about parties and fun and not about killing anyone
"I wanna rock right now, my name is Rob Base and I came to get down ..."
"Careless whispers ... on the dance floor"
"Let's go crazy ..."
You wanted a car like Michael Knight ...
You thought Remington Steele was really cute and you wanted to be Laura Holt
Scarecrow and Mrs. King seemed like a really plausible situation
You wore shoes with no socks and a pink linen jacket
Your mom called you in when the street lights came on
"Walk this way ... and talk this way ..."
"Welcome to the jungle ..."
You remember a "boot up" disk
Two words .... Dougie Howser

I also a child of 70's and 80's
as dazed and confused portrayed the essence of the 70's the 80's would be Fast Times at Ridgmont High, and Ferris Bueller
The one thing that sucked in the 80's (and Im sure there are those who will disagree) is GIjOE went from 12 inches to 3-1/2.

want to talk about hair 3 words.... Flock of Seagulls, if thats not a haircut screaming.. someone kick my #**.. the 70s also brought us the precurser to paintball LAZERTAG, which appears to be making a comback. But then again I live in southern Illinois this might be the first time around here. And for the fans of the little gijoes a movie is in the works at this time. Ill see the movie, liked the comic but am a fan of the 12 inch joes

Or saying the work "like" in just about every other or third word as well.
Anyone remember 80's lipsynching also?
How about breakdancing also?
In NYC, subway trains were filled with graffiti, not anymore though.

Cyndi Lauper is still around, but she wants to be taken seriously now though. Speaking of her, anyone remember her involvement with Rock & Wrestling complete with Lou Albano, Wendy O Williams, etc?
Ans speaking of her, it reminds me of Debbie Gibson and Tiffany also.
