I remember the funny feelings in my pants I started getting during that decade.
I also remember the hellish "Lord of The Flies" existence that was jr.high and highschool... except everyone was Piggy to everyone else.
Overall 80's = puberty. Which overshadows all of the good stuff for me.
On the other hand: Music videos. |
