If You Grew Up in the 1980s… You Remember This!

I graduated in 1982. It’s hard for me to believe I’m now retired and 60 years old . I got to experience things that will never happen again. I sum my life up now with one word . THANKFUL .

Am I the only one that cried when I see these. Life was so simple back then.

I think the 80's were the last decade when kids could still be kids.

Best decade ever, wish I could go back to those days.

Seems like yesterday but was 40 years ago can’t believe it

Our favorite question to ask people in traffic in the '80s was, "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"

That was truly the best decade to be a kid. I miss it so much.

I'm so glad I was born in 1972...memory's that I will carry forever!

I'm 59 I remember the 80's really well and all of the tv shows, movies, music, food, candy, soft drinks, comic books, video games, old tape cassette players, pro wrestling magazines, so much more, etc and Thanks for the Memories.🇺🇲🎆📺📻🎆🇺🇲

I was born during Nixon and grew up in the 80's. Looking back now it seems like a whole different world, and I miss it more and more every day.

I loved the 80’s! I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. I married in 1978 and had my daughter in 1980. I loved the 80’s music and style. Both my hubby and I had good jobs. The economy where we lived was great. I had fun buying my daughter clothes and toys. I remember buying a Cabbage Patch doll, Alf stuffed toy, annual Barbie holiday doll, many Barbies and Barbie clothes.

I graduated in 1992… I was 17. The 80s were simply the best time to be a kid.

Born in Austria on 1972. Being a kid in the 80's and young adult in the 90's was the greatest gift a generation has ever got.

We were so lucky to have John Hughes movies when we were teenagers in the 80s. Lucky lucky lucky.

I was in my 20’s the whole 80’s decade, but as a 62 year old, I believe as great as the 60’s, 70’s and 90’s were in my time, the 80’s was definitely something extra special and cool to have experienced in real time . Actress and comedian Margret Cho described the 80’s perfectly in a stand up routine , saying “ the 80’s was an Oh Mickey You’re So Fine time “ , and she was right, something about the pop culture , a combination of the attitude , the clothes, the hair, the music, the movies, the entertainment , and consumer products made everything cool, classy and fun, for kids, teens, young and old. It was a very special time that I feel so blessed to have been young and experience. It was a decade that I didn’t want to end, and I’ll never forget 1980 to 1989.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Cars, Asia, Van Halen, Pat Benatar, Hair Metal Bands, New Wave, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Toto, Rick Springfield, Loverboy, and many more!

I spent most of the 80's wishing it was the 60's, but even still, I'd do it over again in a heartbeat.

I was born in 1971 and I absolutely loved the 80’s! I just wish there was a way to fully explain it to the ones who came after

Id give anything to wake up saturday morning again, excited for cartoons, cereal, and whatever the day held outside with my friends. I miss my mom too, she was great.

Always enjoy remembering anything 80’s on Recollection Road!! Thank you! I graduated in 1983 and was going to marry Martha Quinn! lol The 80’s will forever be the best decade ever! I miss it for sure. Great memories!
