80s New Wave. Still makes me so happy. It's what I listen to most on Spotify. My playlist includes OMD, Berlin, Naked Eyes, Pet Shop Boys, Missing Persons, Howard Jones, Psychedelic Furs, Thompson Twins... on and on. And of course DD has a major starring role!

C'mon! Tretorns? Everyone wore those. Bermuda bags? That you could button on and off the wooden frame?

What about those Chinese black mary jane flats? Remember those?

I didn't!! I guess I missed out!

Yes, I actually saw someone wearing them recently!

Preach.

This post made me LOL because it's the stereotypical 'most miserable generation' comment.

Why wouldn't we be miserable? We're stuck in between two massive, oblivious, and selfish generations.

Except you were miserable before the millennials came around.

That's because of the damn baby boomers.

Commercial jingles and tag lines. I think with the way we watch tv today (streaming or fast forwarding comnercials) and also with how fast the fads move today, we don't have any modern day examples of:

*Whatever it is I think I see, becomes a tootsie roll to me.

*The Hamms cartoon beer commercial "From the land of sky blue water..."

*Hey Mikey, he likes it!

This one really made me laugh. Loved these.

Lol, me too. And that game where you had categories (city, type of house, type of car, number of children) and picked answers for each, then thought of a number, like six, and you crossed out every sixth answer. At the end you had your future!

MASH!

Agreed. Today's commercials are so forgettable, loud, and boring that you just want to fast forward through them.
