Not that I know too much about the 80's, but my older brother and sister were SO funny...this is what I remember about them:
Acid Washed Jeans
Members Only Jacket
"The Official Preppy Handbook"
Actually watching the last episode of M*A*S*H*-and crying!
MTV with JJ Jackson, Nina Blackwood, Martha Quinn, Alan, and Mark (I never knew their last names)-wow that was cool to come home after school to! Back when MTV actually SHOWED videos!
Yeah, IZOD shirts and topsiders
video games: Centipede and Donkey Kong
station wagons that had that fake wood paneling on the side
Prom themes: either "Stairway to Heaven" or "We've Got Tonight"
Big Hair: The higher the hair, the closer to God... or "Love your hair, hope it wins!"
"what you talking about, Willis???"
JUST SAY NO! (You go Nancy Reagan!)
John Cougar Mellencamp was just John Cougar (Jack and Diane)
and especially, all of the "big hair" bands-Whitesnake, Poison, Motley Crue, Duran Duran, Def Lepperd (Dude, a double shot of "Sister Christian" and "Pour Some Sugar on Me")
