If you grew up in the 1980s...you remember this - PART 1

The best thing about the 80s? No cell phones and no internet! That was awesome.

I feel bad for anyone that didn't grow up in the 80s. It was such a fun, innocent time that didn't take itself seriously. The music was the best, toys were awesome, everything was colorful, our families were still wholesome, moms were (mostly) still at home, we could play outside without fear, Book Faires were the coolest, and TV shows always had a lesson built in. We could all do with more of the 80s in our lives.

The 60s, 70s and 80s were the best years ever. The 90s were the end of the good times…

I finished 8th grade in 80, high school in 84 and college in 89. It was an absolutely glorious decade and could never be replicated!

This was 100% my childhood. Now 47 and watching the world tear itself apart.

I've always said, If I could re-live one decade, it would be the 1980's.🙂👍

Best decade to be a kid. The music, movies, toys, MTV…can’t beat it

I lived in the 80’s. I could be wrong, but I truly believe that the 80’s was the best era ever! Everything was so big and epic! It was almost like the peak of humanity and discovery. Even the movies and music itself had a life of its own. It was simpler times but cool. I wouldn’t even be able to describe or put it into words to explain to kids today of just how awesome the 80’s really was! Simpler times, better food, better people, more common sense. Class, masculinity, and dignity was celebrated more. Yea there was some bad during that time, but I would take the bad from during that time over the so called “good” of today’s corrupt society. The moral compass is at an all time low in these weird modern times.

I remember all of this. I miss the slower pace of life and the innocence we all had.

Miss the 80's, last of the good ol' days. Looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons, Sunday funnies, books, and playing outside. Now it's all social media and smartphones.

Teenager in the late 80s myself! Damn it was the best….music, dancing, movies, arcades and just being a kid. No social media and engrossed on the cell….like I’m doing right now 😂

The 80s truly was the last decade that young people could call a good life as a child, at least here in the U.S. yes,there was many bad things that took place, but most Americans hadn't lost their sense of community, and empathy for each other, music, movies, and TV series were at the top of their game

I was 15 when the 80's started and 24 when it ended, absolutely the best decade ever, miss those times so much, we simply did not know back then how good we had it. Does anyone right now wish they could go Friday after work or school to blockbuster to pick up a couple movies, big bag of popcorn and 2 cokes for $5 or $6, then stop to get a pizza on the way home?

I graduated HS in 1984 and have vivid memories of the mid-late 70’s and 80’s. My formative years cut across two of the best decades ever. I hate the fact that I’m old now but wouldn’t trade my childhood for anything…except maybe youth!

Saturday morning cartoons still one of the best feelings I can remember being a kid then

With each year that passes in my life, I MISS the 80's more.

The 80’s was the last decade where kids would go outside to play

Just bought tears to my eyes The 80s were so magical it's hard to explain and so simple yet so fun

Blockbuster on Friday nights, Saturday morning cartoons, and weekends at the arcade were the best times of my life as a kid in the 80’s.

The 80’s was my era. One thing that wasn’t mentioned here was roller skating. I use to go to a roller rink called Skateland practically every weekend in the mid 80’s. That was a big thing for me and my friends.
