cant beat those mix tapes back in the day and dont forget the saturday morning cartoons

[@lilyz2156]

Yep, my male best friend made me a mix tape for Xmas 1 year. He died later that night in a car accident. I wish I still had it, darn Walkman ate my cassette. Still remember that song that was playing on his car radio as he drove away. The Promise, by When in Rome. Dang, anniversary of his death coming on Mon...

[@atlsuthngurl1974]

oh yesss i would love to go back to the 80s/90s.. i loved my childhood. the holidays...the vacations...cookouts, family reunions...time in the country...sunday dinners...and omg the music movies and entertainment back then...just crazy..lots of classic stuff!!!...all genres.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Hi Kabir! I remember back when I got my first transistor radio in 1962, I was 6yrs old. It was revolutionary! You could actually listen to music anywhere. I had good times in the 80s. I graduated uni in 82 and got my first real job. I got my own place and got a better car. Also, I fell in love for the first time in my life. I only thought I knew what love was prior to the real thing happening. Suddenly I understood what all fuss was, you know, all of the poetry, songs, wars fought over women etc. I made a lot of mix tapes. I would have my stereo set to record, and when a song I wanted began, I would quickly flip the switch and steal a song. It was a real money saver.

[@GenXfrom75]

❤ Grabbing a fresh new blank Memorex cassette tape, popping it in your little boom box, and turning on Casey's Top 40 countdown on the weekend to create your own mix tape.... Ah, the memories ❤

[@kymmkam73]

Oh yeah, Casey Kasem!! He was a legend!

[@melissastapleton5384]

Yes, I’m a geek, but I LOVED my Trapper Keeper. We all went to the school library to watch the explosion of Challenger live as it happened as space travel was still pretty new for us. Life being better now? Nah. We rode our bicycles 5 or more miles down an old dirt road to spend the days with friends, drank from the water hose and creeks around the house, stayed out all day until the lights came on then ran home in time to not get in trouble. It was awesome.

[@lilyz2156]

Not a geek, I had one too as well as all my friends. Loved that thing. I saw the Challenger explosion in my 9th grade world history class on TV.

[@Devnet94]

I was only 4 when the Challenger exploded so it wasn't something I saw until the 90s, but I completely agree with everything else!

[@OkiePeg411]

The trapper keeper was popular because we carried our books. No one had backpacks. So it kept your papers and things contained/ organized better than a regular binder or folder.

[@George-ux6zz]

I was in my 20s and 30s in the 80s. Yet I never heard of a trapper keeper. Yeah, I'm old at 67. 🤣🤣 Although I joke that I'm 33.5 for the second time. 😅😅😅😅

When you had to remember telephone numbers and most were 7 digits, 10 if it was long distance.

I had a Trapper Keeper or two back then but I still have my zip-up Five Star binder three decades later.

[@donnagonatas3155]

I was 26 in 1986 and I was watching the launch live on TV. You actually couldn't believe what you just saw. I remember calling my Dad asking if he saw it. It was absolutely tragic! Especially because so many schools had the TV on because there was a teacher on board. 😪

[@Nik-py5qj]

I was in 4th grade in my class watching it on tv😢

[@corinnepmorrison1854]

The Challenger explosion was beyond heartbreaking…💔

[@NormaWills]

I was in middle school when the Challenger exploded. My school was in south Florida and we had a partnership with Nasa to the point that we had an old Apollo training capsule in the front of the school. So, they had made a big deal of the launch for the week before it happened. They even had a big pizza party the day of the launch. Then we were all sitting in the auditorium to watch the launch. It was horrific. It is definitely a day I will never forget. I don't think that I have ever watched a launch live since.

[@Ryarios]

I was in college at the time. One of my classes was an elective called "The Study of High Fidelity". Every day before class they would play music and just before class started, the assistant would walk out and write on the chalkboard, the name of the song, the album name and who performed it. On this day, he instead wrote that the challenger had exploded shortly after liftoff and then walked out. The auditorium was dead silent. After class, I went over to the what was called the Union building to watch the footage of it on their large screen projection TV. It was one of those times where you remember exactly where you were for the rest of your life.

[@GenXfrom75]

I watched it in my class, age 10 (turned 11 in June of 86).

For everyone on the "Star Wars is 1977" soapbox; Yes, Ep lV was out in '77, but Empire Strikes Back came out in 1980 and Return of the Jedi was 1983. Pretty sure thats what they're referring to.

[@annajosullivan]

I graduated high school in 86 and I have to say we had the best music!

[@JemJam2976]

I remember hearing Just Say No, especially after watching Punky Brewster. Trapper Keepers were cool as hell and they seemed to have brought them back. I was in 4th grade when the Challenger exploded. My grandpa and great grandmother had passed around the same time that year.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

I don't remember ever thinking of Trapper Keepers as _cool_ per se, but they were undeniably convenient. I used them (or off-brand equivalents) consistently throughout middle school and high school. Had to get a new one every year, though, because by the end of the year it would always be too ratty and falling apart to consider using for another year.

[@JemJam2976]

@@jonadabtheunsightly I looked forward to back to school shopping with my grandmother every summer. We would get new Trapper Keepers and everything we needed to start the year. I remember always picking out a design I thought was cool

[@michellesnyder9498]

I was born December 6, 1980. 80's was the best

[@CherryBlossomDragon]

85 kid here. I can definitely tell you that the 'just say no' slogan is still stuck in the head of every 80's kid. I was in Elementary school at the time they were teaching that slogan, and sometimes I have trouble remembering what or if I've eaten that day, but I still remember that dang slogan. 😆

[@chickie3376]

Krista McAullif was a teacher from New Hampshire, not Vermont. I was 10 years old and we watched it on tv in the classroom as it happened. The tv was abruptly turned off when the Challenger exploded. My husband was in a class with her niece and she was taken out of the classroom abruptly when it exploded.

[@AdamtheGrey02]

I still remember the smell of VHS tapes going to the video store with my father back in the 80s as well as the feeling I got when looking at all of the tape covers laid with their individual movie art on the, laid out on the walls. I have my rubik's cube I got when I was 11 back then too. Loved my ColecoVision system and the duel action controllers I got for Christmas separately. My neighbor had his Atari we'd play as well. Comics were huge part of my brother's life back then but I read them too, especially the Spiderman and Batman comics. I was heavily into star wars and owning some action figures and toys. Loved my tape recorder. I also owned a yellow walkman but I didn't use it that much.

[@jonadabtheunsightly]

VHS tapes remained in widespread use well into the 2000s. DVDs weren't even *introduced* until the late nineties (around the time I graduated from college), and it was a while before most people got the players, because like any new technology, they were ridiculously expensive at first. Even then, VHS remained the dominant format for home video for several more years, until smartphones became common, some time after 2010, at least around here (probably a couple of years sooner in areas with a fast new-tech adoption curve, like big cities and college towns). Digital video cameras with CompactFlash storage existed before that, but most people didn't replace their existing camcorders, because there was no compelling reason to do so.

[@AdamtheGrey02]

@@jonadabtheunsightly I know. I used to buy VHS tapes around the late 90s, early 2000s then I realized DVDs would be the new and better format so I began purchasing them.

[@katinacarson-hunwi7297]

I was born in 1974. So I grew up in some of the 70s but mostly the 80s. The 80s were the best. But I liked the 90s too.

[@lesliedaubert1411]

I was born in 1982 and remember all of these. Among many other things.

[@janfitzgerald3615]

My son was in first grade when the Challenger exploded. One of my sister’s is an astronomical illustrator and was part of NASA’s young artists program, she was assigned to the Challenger launch and my son knew that and his teacher had a portable TV in the classroom and told the other kids that his aunt was there in person. So when it exploded his teacher, as soon as she realized what was happening raced across the room to turn the TV off, but didn’t reach it before the people covering the launch started reacting. My son was so upset because he didn’t know if his aunt was okay, to the point that the school called me at work and asked me to come pick him up. I knew she’d be between the launch pad and family viewing area, but even I didn’t know if any debris came down in that area. My sister ended up painting the picture that’s in the Challenger memorial area at the Kennedy Space Center.

[@blakerh]

I was in history class watching the Space Shuttle when it blew up. It was pretty sad. The 80s was a great time to grow up!

The best decade to grow up in!! So much fun and independence

[@cshubs]

I was in 11th grade when the Challenger exploded. My chem class was not watching the launch, but other classes were. I was coming back from the rest room when one of those kids told me. I told my classroom.

[@tanyamonk1280]

I remember the Challenger Blowing up very well. I was in 5th grade, in Orlando, Florida. I saw the Challenger blow up in the sky while watching it at school. Everyone was crying and shocked. It was horrible. Still horrible.

[@xzonia1]

I still have my Trapper Keeper in a box somewhere. Loved that thing as a teen! They were so helpful too, but I guess kids these days don't carry around a lot of paper from one class to another; they do most of their work on computers now. :)

[@k1sfd1974]

Point of Order: Sharon Christa McAuliffe was a teacher from Concord, NH, USA. Not Vermont. The McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord is only about 15 minutes from me. I remember the launch day very clearly, even all these years later. I had given a report to my class on the shuttles, the launch, how they worked, all of it. I remember they put off the launch from Monday (27th) and I was excited that, I’d give my report during the launch on the 28th. It was supposed to launch at 09:37EST, and my class started at 09:15. The teacher had a TV in the room for us to watch it live, and I’d finish any part I didn’t get to, after the launch. The launches had become so regular and standard, that we all just thought they weren’t in a lot of danger. Anyway, I remember them scrubbing the launch for 2 hours later (11:38 EST) and just continued to finish my presentation. They announced the loss of the crew to the whole school at about 11:45. It was devastating to many of us 12 year olds who not only idolized the space program, but Christie McAuliffe as well. Especially those of us here in New England.

To me, it was Saturday morning cartoons. Nothing like waking up at 6am, going to the living room and watching cartoons on the 3 big networks until 11am. Plus, it allowed my mother to sleep in and not have to make us breakfast since we would just have cereal.

Best decade ever!! The best movies/music for sure. i can barely tolerate mainstream music today but 80s music I will listen to when I'm in my 80s and beyond, the good lord willing. They still sell Trapper Keepers. Sadly Christa McAuliff's students and entire school were watching so as bad as it was for me to be in high school when the Challenger exploded, it was so way worse for everyone in that school since they watched it as it happened. A friend of mine who was on our school's newspaper staff told us as we changed classes as they had a tv in the classroom so would be watching. I thought he was joking but as soon as everyone was settled for the next period, the principal came over the intercom to tell of the tragedy. The worst was getting home and it being CONSTANTLY replayed "for those just tuning in" and when I mean constantly I mean every 3-4 min. I had to turn the tv off because it made me so sick and heartbroken for the lives lost and their family and friends heartbreak and the constant replaying of the explosion was just too much.

It blew up, the guy on TV basically said everyone was dead, they took us back to our class rooms and we started right back on math problems, I remember kids sitting there crying ect, there was no time off, no councilors no nothing we had to figure that out ourselves, our parents didn't talk to us about it ect thats the way we were raised. I've also seen some studies ect that the Challenger explosion may be the reason Gen X is the way we are with the lack of empathy and stuff because literally our whole generation pretty much watched it on TV in school and saw people die live on TV.

It is all about your own personal perspective and experiences. I was born in the early 1960's. For me the 60's, 70's, and 80's were amazing and wonderful. I can't say the same for the 90's forward. My oldest brother took his own life in 1990. My other brother did the same in 1993. My father died in 1996. I agree that a persons nostalgic feelings about an era are going to be different for a person who was an adult at that time versus a kid with no responsibilities. While I believe we are living through hell, it is possible that children today will look back fondly on the 2020's as they become adults..

I think once you grow up, you realize there are bad things going on in the world.

"No means no" has been replaced in many U.S. colleges with "Only Yes means Yes". Meaning, it isn't enough that the woman doesn't say no to having sex. She needs to actually say yes. This avoids problems with sex with nearly passed out drunk girls, and such.

Those who huffed Nitrous Oxide wore the just say NO shirts since that is the chemical formula.

The 80s had elements of fun for me, but there was no mention of the scourge of AIDS, which took almost all my friends one after another.

As a teen in the 80s, I have certain memories that will always be there, good & bad. 80s music and fashions were good memories and there was nothing better than an awesome summer playlist. It seemed as if newer and more fantastic music came out every week. It was also really fun to go shopping in malls with friends. It could be an all-day adventure to get the perfect personalized look. The movies were really good, as well. On the negative side, was the growing awareness of the AIDS crisis and sex-panic was not a good thing for teens, especially coming out of the 70s--probably the most sexually liberated decade where just about anything was ok. Also, I remember the space shuttle explosion. The whole school had televisions brought into the classrooms for the special event, only to stare in terror as the thing exploded.
