Old? I'm not sure I even know half the songs/groups you used! I still have issues with "the kids today" throwing retro "Disco" and/or "80s" parties. Like they happened last century. Oh wait, they did.

HA HA HA. Whenever I see the pictures of the 80s parties I crack up. They aren't even close to dressing like we did.

That's true of every decade. I'm just ROTFL every time I see students dress up for a seventies party. Like if they're supposed to be hippies, they dress in these bright patterns and colors...the real hippies tended to dress in torn up, earth-colored crud. And as far as the supposed lingo of that time, I never heard anyone say "groovy" then or since.

Well, according to barnard1897 in micky80's retro thread:
