The big comb in the back pocket .. that came from Happy Days (which nobody has mentioned) because Fonzie did that!
Bowling for Soup said it best: (my kids crack up cuz I jam to this song.. I can soooo relate)
Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19, 1985
She’s seen all the classics
She knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
Even Saint Elmo’s Fire
She rocked out to Wham
Not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she’d get a hand
On a member of Duran Duran
Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
And who’s the other guy that's singing in Van Halen
When did reality become T.V.
Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio was)
She hates time make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
And what about Queen, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Foreigner and Journey? Genesis, Prince.. the music was so good. Yeah, they were late 70's too, but they crossed into the 80's.
And the teen idols: Rick Springfield, Andy Gibb, Shaun Cassidy, Parker Stevenson, <swoon>
Nobody else did the "man clothes" with vests, ties, etc? My sophomore year of college, I didn't buy any shirts.. I raided my dad's work shirts and took a bunch of them up to school. I did that look and, for nights out, the flashdance sweatshirt thing, with leg warmers. Nobody else mentioned baggies either, I think. They were pretty awful!
