oh man, good times. i was the master at resticking those stickers on the rubic cube. such good times

If your a pro, IM A HOE!
 
haha, that's weird, i just got an email with all those like 2 days ago.. and yea i was 6 in 1989 and i remember almost all of those.

'sweet i can be seen sober with you' -- my friend dom to a previously not hot, now hot girl he was meeting.
 
dude like half of those were '90-'93 I was a bit dissapointed in that!

the thing I like about highschool girls, is I keep getting older but they stay the same age!
 
i have a theory that fads associated with decades change mid decade... the 80's didnt really start til 84 or 85- it was still disco till then, and the 80's didnt end till 94. that list was sheer genius. did you make hat up? if so, good work.

-thespinstopshere-
 
i was all for the transformers. voltron and g.i.joe were the shit as well.

it would seem some of those were geared to the girls of the 80's. someone come up with some of the boy stuff from that time.

how bout these,

you saw the movie RAD and busted yourself up trying all the tricks,

or ghost riding your bmx,

the coolest kid on the block had the G.I. joe aircraft carrier,

you looked forward to the NEW episode of magnum p.i.,

the best candies around were gobstoppers,

you did that thing with your jeans were you folded them over then rolled them up (maybe early 90's),

reebok pumps (again maybe early 90's),

ya that's all i can think of right now....and btw i was 13 in 1989

'i hope nothing like that ever calls my name'

ya had to be there!
 
I was only 4 in 1989. but the 80s didnt end right then. SO i do remember the 80s styles and everything. Amazing.

Hypercolor was the shit. There is nothing better than a purple t shit that turns pink where you sweat. I want some hypercolor jeans so after i get done playing basketball in my jeans everyone can call me pink crotch.

the 80s were a sweet decade. You can't forget all the great music that came out of it. I'd start listing them, but I'd go on for ever.

people used to ask me if i remember the 80's, i just told them 'well i certainly dont remember anything since then' (any good gta3 fans would know what im on)

What?
 
^Amen to that... I was 5 in '89. Since it seems to be trendy to say how old we were in 89, and since I seem to be a trend whore suddenly.

LOL I used to love the original Oregon Trail computer game. I think it was on Apple IIe. Anybody remember the Cabbage Pail kids cards? I used to collect shitload of em and stick em everywhere. I really wished that I kept em instead of sticking em everywhere.

 
In Iceland we had an old game called Greenladic Trail. Where we had to get Leif Ericsson to Greenland. Much better than Oregon trail

 
I was 0-1 in 1989! WOOT. But yeah I peeled teh stickers off the rubics cube to make it right, it tricked everyone too, this was when I was about 8 haha.

-Michael Lifshitz-
 
I was but the young age of 3 in 1989 and I still remember a lot of those things. Whoever said the fads don't start til about midway through the decade, they had it dead on. It's true

yay skiing is happy
 
I was 2 in 89 and I can still rmember a few of those thigns.

Rebok Pumps, haha, I remember in Kindergarten, I was amazed by those shoes so much and I wanted a pair, and never got one.

 
mc hammer was awesome, i love oregon trail, i had LA gear hitops with lights on them, i watched cosby show all the time. i was born in 87 so that must be all late 80's stuff

'ok im gonnago play pocket tanks...the only game that runs on my computer'-cruz

 
i was 4 in 89 but i remember it all! i was such an 80s child. and now i listen to mostly 80s music. that list is great though, brings back memories... tear.

 
come on most the kids on this web site either just made the 80's or were 1990 and younger. i am 22 and i think that i am about the oldest person on here there maybe like 50 of us this age or older that actualy lived in the 80's

 
well i am a 90s but some of those occur to me, ahh yes saved by the bell, such a quality show

*NORTHEAST CULT*

^is dead

quagmire:'We got to do something.'

peter:'Dont worry i got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if i even began to know what I am talking about.

 
i am an 80's baby and i remember skip-it. haha those were fun.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of

arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly

proclaiming...'Wow! What a ride!'
 
i was born in 82, wow that brings back a lot of memories. garbage pail kids..haha those were awesome.

 
i was born in 86, still remember most of that stuff though. I didn't wear any shoes other than LA gear ones with the lights on the heels, even when i was playing hide and seek in the dark. I never was very good at that game...
