Growing Up In The 80s

Ah, the 80s!

A decade filled with colorful fashion, big hair, and even bigger personalities. Growing up in the 80s was an experience like no other, trust me. So, buckle up and get ready to take a trip down memory lane with me as we explore what it was like to grow up in the most tubular decade of them all!

Let’s start with fashion. Now, we all know that fashion in the 80s was, well, interesting. From acid-washed jeans to neon windbreakers, people really took risks when it came to style. And let’s not forget about the hair!

The bigger, the better, am I right?

But, despite the outrageous looks, there was something incredibly freeing about being able to express yourself through your clothes and hair in such a unique way. Plus, if you ever got lost in a crowd, your neon shirt or gigantic hairdo made it easy for your friends and family to spot you!

Im bringing the 80s back into fashion.

And speaking of friends, the 80s were a time of close-knit communities. Without the internet and social media to connect us, we had to rely on good old-fashioned face-to-face interaction.

This meant that we spent a lot of time outside, playing games like tag, hide-and-seek, and kickball. Sure, we didn’t have the fancy toys and gadgets that kids today have, but we had each other, and that was all we needed.

One thing that I always hear about when people talk about the 80s is the music. From Michael Jackson to Madonna, the 80s were filled with iconic artists who produced some of the most memorable songs of all time. And, let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good dance party to “Billie Jean” or “Like a Virgin”?

Music was a way for people to come together and forget their worries, even if it was just for a few minutes.

But, perhaps the best thing about growing up in the 80s was the sense of possibility. The world was changing rapidly, and anything seemed possible. Kids dreamed of becoming astronauts, rock stars, and even president.

We were a generation of dreamers, and that’s something that hasn’t changed. Today, kids still dream big, and it’s important to remember that those dreams can become a reality if we work hard and never give up.

So, there you have it, folks. Growing up in the 80s was a unique experience that will always hold a special place in our hearts. From the fashion to the music to the close-knit communities, there was something truly magical about that decade.

So, let’s embrace our inner 80s kid and continue to dream big and take risks, just like we did back in the day. Who knows, we might just end up surprising ourselves!
