Why am I not surprised that ppl like Nanners and prime have an affinity for the 80s?


1980s had the wackest music of any decade.


Most douchey style, the corniest trends that were 'cool'


Wow can't believe OP legit thinks the 80s were cool

They are fun due to nostalgia and comparison sake but honestly, the 80s were a pretty big blunder to mankind imo.


Well besides strong economy and the Skins actually being good

wasn't rap technically born in the mid-late 80s?

maybe the mainstream stunk by comparison but i feel like there were a lot of really awesome underground trends/subcultures that are now ubiquitous in this day and age but were just getting going... punk, rap, satire, special fx tech, environmental movement + feminism + 3rd world solidarity + accepting gay people, jays winning two world series in a row, compoooooters, ummm a lot more

i mean all of those were going to take off eventually and had been brewing for a while, but i don't think they all just happened to coincide, theres a reason shit opened up a lot between 1979 and 1989..

we were watching Yo MTV Raps, what's tha haps on tha craps?

90s kids don't know about Yo MTV Raps, Dre and Ed Lover, or Fab 5 Freddy, or just how big of a deal MTV in general was in the 80s.

MTV used to be the shit.

Toronto went back to back in '92 and' 93.

A lot of legitimately cool stuff came out in the 80s, but the decade is ultimately defined by its cheesiness.

Cheesiness = not cool. It's fun to look back on it (if nothing else, it was highly distinct), but it doesn't hold up.

Hell, the Lakers wore those throwback 80s shorts a few years back as a goof. The players were so embarrassed, they ditched them at halftime.

yea i knew that, dunno why i suggested otherwise

It came late to Canada didn't it?

Rap was born in the 70's. Rapper's Delight came out in 1979. Kurtis Blow released The Breaks in 1980

Planet Rock by Afrika Bambata was a massive hit in NYC. The Message by Grandmaster Flash was even bigger. Both came out in 1982.

Run DMC had a single by 1983. Rick Rubin had produced his first hop hop on Def Jam, a single for rapper T La Rock in 1983 and the sound caused Russell Simmons to seek him out (he was shocked he was white) and join with him. In 1984 LL Cool J and the Beastie Boys were the first singles on Def Jam Hip hop was so popular that a movie came out that year, Beat Street. The Beastie single was withdrawn because, they never cleared the AC/DC samples they used.

80s were a classic decade

[diamenz]

eighties, baby. when cars were built like f***ing tanks.

[Doomsday Dallas]

80's were the best. Far superior to the 60's & 70's

Patriotism was at it's peak.

you were proud to be an American in those days.

90's were almost as good, good times in the 90's

The American Dream kinda went to $hit after Bush Jr. got elected.

after WWII this is how I'd rank it:

1.) 80's
2.) 90's
3.) 50's
4.) 70's
5.) 60's
6.) 2000s
7.) 2010s
8.) 2020s (will probably be the worst decade ever)

But if there was a time America was ever GREAT... it was in the 1980s.

Every time I think of a cool decade, something bad about that decade comes up next. Tough one.
