The Radical Eighties

The 1980s are what most parents want to relive, and I'm right there with them. The 1980s was basically one huge party, for 10 whole years! The fashion was "tubular," the hairstyles were "bad" (in the good way), and the music was "radical!" This was the age where MTv came out, the Rubik's cube became a national headache overnight, and everyone seemed to be having a good time.
That's just the start! I already talked about the music, but you really have to get into it. Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, making everybody dance till the sun came up; Van Halen was rockin' the concerts every night, making everybody "Jump;"  and Guns 'N' Roses came out, practically inventing rock ballads, making girls want to be with them, and guys want to be like them. 

The fashion, oh jeez the fashion! Everyone was wearing more zippers than necessary, bright colors that could blind you from miles away, and hair that could block the sun. But hey, that was cool, and still is. I would love to visit if just for the fasion. Who wouldn't want to wear something as ridiculous as this while dancing around the street, and NOT be mocked?
