Top ten reasons, 80's vs. 90's
 

Top Ten reasons the 80's were a cooler time to be a teenager
than the 90's:

10. MTV actually played videos in the 80's.

9. There was only one kind of Nike tennis shoes (White with a red swoosh), and they didn't cost $125.

8. A comb in your back pocket was more practical and less painful than a ring through your nose.

7. In the 80's playing video games actually meant going out to DO something.

6. In the 80's, when you were out partying, you didn't have to worry about your Mom calling you on your cell phone.

5. In the 80s we didn't have to worry about getting our heads blown off at school - unless you put a whole pack of Pop Rocks in your mouth and drank a coke.

4. Debbie Gibson vs. Britney Spears. New Kids on the Block vs. N'Sync. New Edition vs. Hanson. Ok, that one's a draw.

3. In the early 80's there were kids in your high school who could BUY ALCOHOL LEGALLY.

2. Feathered hair was easier to care for than dreadlocks.

And the number one reason the 80's were a cooler time to grow
up than the 90's:

1. In the 80's you didn't have to worry about your pants falling down all the time. They were so tight we couldn't get them off!

life was alot simpler, mr. & mrs. pac man where are you?

horseman12~ they have an old Ms. Pacman at the student union at my college.........my kids love it!

Hey!!!!!! What red swoosh??????? My ancient old Nikes had that funky light blue swoosh..........
I can remember buying my first reeboks for cheerleading......having never heard of them......OMG that makes me old as dirt I think:p

Don't feel to terrible bad. I remember when Reebok came out or atleast hit the lime light.

My Nikes had a light purple swoosh. :D

Well my Chuck Tanner Converse were white.

I born on Jan 25th, 1980. So having remembered very little of the 80's all i know is that I am happy to have made it out of that era. Funny thing is same for the 90's. I have never been as happy as I have been now. That's all nice and dandy about Pac-Man and Atari and Nintendo, but us new super freak geeks, Counter-Strike and such First shooter games is what it is all about. I would like to think there was a time when CS didn't exist, but Fortunately those painful memories have been blocked out with a lot of drugs..

lol..

SteinFibers..

Go 2000's !

Edit..

I just read what I wrote..omg...

But Dance/Euro/Techno/Freestyle is where it is at, forget about N Sync and the Backstreet boys and New kids...They all lasted for a combined 3 years anyways. Backstreet Boys are being looked at the same way New kids are now..and N'Sync will be there soon too. The 90's gave way to sooo much freedom and idependance, and even tho I consider myself a homophobe, I still respect individual people's rights to do whatever they want as long as it does not directly effect others. Keep whatever it is you do in the bedroom and no one will ever know..that's my theory... The 90's is when really the time when anything was allowed to happen. (cept for real sicko stuff) And that's why 90's is better than 80's ...(for me)

My new tennis shoe had a little red ball(keds) on them nothing fancy like a Swoooooooooosh.:D
The 60's ROCKED :p

Same here.....the only swoosh on my shoes was the noise they made as I flew by everyone else.... because I could run faster wearing Keds ;)

I would like to say I remember my shoes from back then..but sigh....a bit before my time...lol...

I think I wore whatever my parents bought and my parents bought whatever was under $30!

Yep the 60's rocked alright....

I remember having a pair of white and pink reeboks that I thought were the coolest thing :p :o Guess I'll have to join ya Lilith!

in the 80's you could get together somewhere and have a good time and not be consinered a Gang!!!

in the 80's i could get cheap sneakers for under $2.
you could smoke in the back of greyhound buses (damn what parties we had...lost my virginity in the back of one)
herpes was the bad sexual disease
our president was chopping wood and the first lady was famous for her blow jobs back in hollywood
cheap used cars could take out a brick wall and still drive home
music was played not composed on a computer
cigarettes were $1 a pack and bars had nickle nights

IAKG...amen!
