Posted by 1stTierReadingsSo why do you prefer it?
for what? the 80s? no
Posted by WeedsLol!
I miss when you could chase women like this and it wasn't called sexual harassment...... or attempted gang rape..
Posted by tizianiSuch high standards, Tiz. I don't understand why people can be so nostalgic about the 80's. But looking at myself, I don't understand either why I like 90's so much. And the 60's and the 70's. Oh, I like the 40's too.Posted by firebunnyAs long as they have those Pepsi and Coke bottles with the old old school bottle caps sold in the street then I'm there
Ugh... I don't like the 80s except 1986 I guess. The rest is just uhhhmmm... Maybe, Tiz, you should come here to the Philippines, 80's music are being played everyday here. Every day. Lol.
Actually I hear people drink it out of a bag thereclick to expand
Posted by 1stTierReadingsThere are few good songs from the 80s though.
80s music is kinda weird.
Posted by tizianiI'm just starting to like the 40s so not really anything particular. I usually judge a decade by the vibes it sends to me. I like fedora hats and that classic hairstyle women wear those days though.Posted by firebunnywhat are your picks from the 40s dude? movies or music?Posted by tizianiSuch high standards, Tiz.

Posted by tizianiLOL. You will love it here in the Philippines. They always play 80s/early 90s songs on the radio... every day, everywhere!
Michael Bolton - How Can We Be Lovers
and Time, Love and Tenderness
again a mix of 80s/90s era
Posted by AkumoExcept that I am already immune to the 1980s. It's 80s overkill here in the Philippines. Lol.
1980's or 1990's, no competition at all, the 80's are far superior in every way:
Films from the 80's:
Star Wars (V and VI), Ghostbusters, Blade Runner, Alien, ET, Terminator, Indiana Jones films, Raging Bull, The Shining, Beverley HIlls cop, Mad Max, Airplane, Back to the Future, Scarface.
What came out of the 90's?
Forest Gump, the Usual suspects, The Matrix and Trainspotting.
80's music what is weird about:
U2, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, and loads of others...
In the 90's we had to put up with the Cure the Prodigy and the spin dr's, fortunately though prozac had been invented in the 80's so it helped people get trough that 😉.
Posted by 1stTierReadingsIf we want to talk about avatars all I can see in yours is a broken image... 🙂Posted by Akumoit's weird! just like that brown chart in your avi! 😛

Posted by firebunnyIt was actually easier...and far less complicated. Life was more black and white in that there were grey areas, but the grey areas weren't so BIG. Like, there was such a thing as an acceptable standard and the cost of living? Hell yes! The cost of living was miraculous compared to what it is now. I had a kid and my own place at 19 years old that I was able to sustain all on my own income. Even after having 3 kids, I was easily able to sustain off of my living wages. Shit...I have one kid left at home and I feel like I'm barely making it and my income is triple what it was in my early 20's. Culturally, I mean...it was a little mucked up in that racism was acceptable, but you KNEW how to navigate around it. There were rules and shit. Like for instance...the rule regarding police shootings...if you didn't run or buck the police, you didn't get shot. Now a days black folks are surrendering and STILL being shot/killed. It's crazy. I can't believe I'm actually seeing videos of grown ass men throwing their hands up in the air and still being shot in the chest...just CRAY!
I was just a kid in the 90s so I grew up thinking that I missed all the fun. The music, the fashion, and the pop culture were so much cooler during those times. I think the 90s officially ended September 11, 2001. Everything was so much different after that. @_@
Posted by firebunnyWe felt the same way about the 60's.

Posted by tizianiWe kind of get the message that you're obsessed with miami vice, sheeesh
Miami Vice - Where The Buses Don't Run episode...... arguably the best thing I've ever seen on TV
emosh
Posted by justagirlI was at a slumber party for my Sag friend's birthday.
the biggest part of the 80s...was of course this!! I still remeber watching this in the living room the night it premiered with my family.. Man He was amazing!
Posted by justagirlI love their "driving bitch face"
Posted by hydorahYES!!! You noticed that too! LOLPosted by justagirlI love their "driving bitch face"

Posted by dontgetmewrongYeah great show. To think that it was considered "erotic" back then. Nowadays, you can see worse things in children shows.Posted by hydorah
The 80s are where it's at but the early 90s were kinda cool too.
There was this particular period going from, maybe 1985 to 1995 where, if you look at movies or television shows, all the people looked fresh-faced and have fantastic haircuts.
I can't explain it but the people looked more beautiful, it's like their skin was looking younger than people of other eras (of the same age).
The early 90s were a pinnacle in fashion, especially for men, it went downhill after that
I remember the early 90s looked bleak, urban and kinda gloomy to me, maybe because I started working, it was not as fun as the 80s. Also no more Soviet union, so you had to take the brunt of capitalism wthout no more glam. No more hope of a nuclear apocalypse to cleanse all the shit.
Difficult to pick a favorite 80s movie, but I can name: Flash gordon, Dune, ghostbusters, empire strikes back, escape from new york, terminator, aliens, indiana jones series, etc...
I think movies were a lil bit better in the 90s though.
The best thing I remember from the 80s/90s is that computers, cellular phones and internet weren't omnipresent like today, so whatever you were doing wherever you were going you were really living the instant. Back then technology was really a dream, not an instrument of mental slavery.
As for music, yeah there was defintely a big drop in quality during the 90s.
Rob Estes from silk stalkings. Loved that show.click to expand
Posted by justagirlThat was awesome. Took me back, for sure.
Not sure if this link will work..I loved it.

Posted by FoxDark how?
Did the 90s seem dark to anyone? I was a child so I wasn't a teen/adult but I actually thought it was quite dark lol.
Posted by FoxYeah I was a kid too so idk. It didn't feel dark to me. Especially compared to nowPosted by AfternoonDelights22Posted by FoxDark how?

I'm not sure because I was a child at the time, but something felt more serious during the 90s - like a secretive time. Sorry I'm useless at explaining what I mean because I don't really know if that was just personal to me or what.click to expand
Posted by tizianiPosted by AfternoonDelights22We were jaded herein the 90s. The best thing we were told to look forward to was.... Trainspotting. Rubbish film.Posted by FoxYeah I was a kid too so idk. It didn't feel dark to me. Especially compared to nowPosted by AfternoonDelights22Posted by FoxDark how?

Whereas now you lot are jaded over there.
That makes perfect sense really
Posted by tizianiYup soaps were not jut stuck in studios and could actually take trips to greece and england and shoot stuff there. Action adventure was all the rage. And there was hardly any reality tv shit. Blech. Just MTVs the real world lol. American films now are mostly remakes anyway. Which says a lot. Hell TV is the same way.
When you look at most "critic approved" American films now it's mostly jaded suspicion and paranoia. Not saying it isn't well founded (I have no idea - I don't live there) but it's definitely changed over the last decade.
Whereas I miss when Hollywood was confident. And like you said, when TV has enough money to blow it would just hand tv networks big budgets for daytime tv and soap operas.
