I always wonder, i wish i had been around then, well i wish it was the 80s now when i am this age:( would have been so cool, but was it cool or just crappy? people always tell me different stories lol, and i suppose threads have been done on this before.
I was a kid in the 90s but i hated them, how can people say they were better than the 80s, 80s looked way cooler

just like that
It was 10 years and a lot happened in them, what in particular was 'way cooler'?
^^ this. I was a teenager in the 80s and loved it, but probably would have loved it just the same if I was a teen in the 60's or 70s.
The music was great and the fashion was to die for. I experienced a lot of "firsts" , so it was a decade that I will always look fondly on.

Conversely, I was a teenager in the 80s and the music was awful (from about 82-83), and the fashion was cringemakingly awful.
It was a horrible decade for so many reasons
COCKBRUN, BRUCE - Lovers In A Dangerous Time (84)
COCKBURN, BRUCE - If I Had A Rocket Launcher (85/88)
Those two songs should have been on a double A-side single.
Shell-suits?
Leg warmers?
Shoulder pad?
Bat winged jumpers?
Poodle perms?
"Frankie says relax" t-shirts?
They died in the 80's.
It was f*****g fantastic.
I often wish I had been born ten years earlier so that I could have been a teenager rather than a child in the 80s and really have properly enjoyed the fashions, going out etc. As it was, I turned 13 in 1990 and was a 90s teenager - I loved Oasis!
I'm very nostalgic for the 80s, brilliant decade. But I'm the first to admit that I had a happy childhood and it's maybe that that I'm nostalgic for as much as anything else.
Or Iron Maiden!
Fabulous :D
The Vienetta was nice though.
Same here (13 to 23) in the '80's and it was a great time.
A lot of changes both politically and socially, but on a personal level, some of the best times of my life
