    Swatch watchers, neon clothes and the most of the 80's music, because those things will NEVER be cool again!

    Oh, and the absence of facebook and cell phones....I'm so thankful that the things I did as a teen were never put out into the cyber world for people to see and there wasn't any GPS for my parents to figure out where I was!

    Agree, I loved the fact it was more laid back and less stress around.

    I agree completely! I have been saying it for a while now how technology is not always a good thing and is ruining our society! Kids have no idea how to actually call each other up and talk on the HOUSE phone or write letters, or use their imaginations now!

    Big hair, Duran Duran, clubbing - Ra Ra skirts, harrington jackets, shoulder pads and short skirts.

    I loved the 80s, i was 12 when it started and 22 as the 80s dissapeared, best time of my life. Even if some of my fashion choices where a little disgusting, especially the permed hair.

    Passing notes in class, all night chat sessions on the phone, hanging out at the park. The music seemed happier too!
