I'm 56 years old now and I enjoyed the 80s + 90s, I don't want to and don't have to miss them. It was the best time in my life, we simply had no internet, everything was much more exciting, you had to arrange the first date by phone and then I was looking forward to seeing you again. The music, the bands everything was perfect. Today's generation with the Internet etc. is not to be envied in any way.

I'll see you and raise you a decade just turned 76 in December and have been loving this song since it was released. By All Rights I should have been well out of the demographic even when it was released, but something about this song just really grabbed me back then. 80s music turned out to be pretty damn good. It took me a long time to realize that in fact I used to make fun of'80s music and then one day I went through all of my hundreds of tapes both store-bought and things I stole from the air with my remote control activated Deluxe tape recorder back in the 80s and I'll be damned if I didn't have more music from the '80s than anything else. I should be totally fixated on music of the '60s which I am because that's more my youth time but the 80s were a great time for me I had a great job, a beautiful girlfriend who was a lunatic in the very real sense I was 39 freaking years old when this was released. Speaking of songs from the '80s anybody here remember It's My Life by talk talk? One of dozens and dozens of Kick-Ass songs from the '80s. I practically had a second childhood in the eighties. Maybe it's because my girlfriend was 27.

[@ryansmurda1552]

I feel so lucky to have grown up in the 80s. It truly was a unique time. No cell phones or bullshit social media.

[@mop714]

True, although there was the large mobile phones, and computers were beginning. That is what made it fun, technology was new and exciting, and still we had some innocence of the past, although we still had world events.

[@ericbear2514]

Cell phones were much more primitive back then. All they were used for was calling people, compared to what they're good for these days.

[@Robins10]

And we had suitcases full of cassettes with all of our music on them.

[@mop714]

@@Robins10 Good idea, why did I not think of that at the time ... I used metal racks.

[@Libertyjack1]

@@ericbear2514 They were expensive and impractical for private use, at least until the very end of the decade...even then.

[@anirose6807]

This will always be one of my favorite songs, not just from the 80’s, but of all time. The key changes, the stringed synth bit, it’s all pure gold, and such an underrated song!

I'm a 90s kid and I love 80s music. Lots of this stuff was recycled on the radio in the early 90s. Many 80s tracks are still played on stations that play oldies and hits. Never gets old.

[@aalgulasch6130]

It was 1985 i was 15 and met the first love in my life at a youth camp. Our eyes cross each other again and again, but we were too shy. It was only on the last day of this vacation that we gathered all our courage and spoke to each other. I only touched her briefly, it was magical. The time was up, we had to go. We promised to meet next year at the youth camp again. How life is like that, in the following year there was no youth camp anymore. We never saw each other again. I touched her once, never twice .....

[@stupendous1068]

I loved being a teen of the '80's. I used to think I missed out on all of the good stuff when disco died at the end of the '70's, but now that I'm older I reckon that the '80's was a slightly better time.

[@faigelfand3504]

It was a much better time!!!

[@raygunzzz]

Speaking as an old guy, every decade had it's worst and best.

[@stupendous1068]

I reckon for the '80's though that the best stuff far outweighs any bad stuff done then.

[@NathanArnoldCharging]

I envy you for that, was just a little boy in the 80s, wish I was born 10yrs earlier, to fully enjoy the 80s.

[@shawneldridge9312]

I miss the 1980's big time.all the music, movies, cartoons, tv shows, action figures, the jewelry, the posters, the sticker cards, the sneakers & everything else that we grew up with back then.

[@dandrumms2605]

I miss it too

[@MattieSheldonTheYoutuber]

Then bring it back! There’s no reason you can’t live as if it were still the 80s. I wasn’t born until after they ended, but I still wear double denim and listen to Kajagoogoo on full blast. If you truly love a decade, those no reason to miss it, you just have to live it. There’s far to many people complaining these days about how they want to go back to the 80s, but unknown to them, they don’t need a time machine, they just need a bit of inspiration.

[@hattiecadwell6605]

I agree it's not the same these days. The 80's just had that magic touch which we don't have now in 2021.

[@MattieSheldonTheYoutuber]

@@hattiecadwell6605 I disagree. I think it’s easy to look back on the good parts of each decade, and in the case of the 80s that’s the music, fashion and film. But there were plenty of problems as well. Reagan’s America, Thatcher’s Britain, 35% unemployment rate where I would’ve lived. The war on drugs, the start of trickle-down economics, much more homophobia, transphobia and racism that nowadays. I’m just happy we can still party to the music from that time without all the crap that originally came with it.
