You know you're a child of the 80's if......

[jennasmom]

i had lace gloves with the fingers cut out like madonna. I loved Jake Ryan. and not from Hannah Montana but from 16 candles. he was hot. If i had a boy i was going to name him Jake Ryan..

If you wore a shirt that had big letters like...

CHOOSE
LIFE

[Morrigoon]

Two words: Parachute Pants.
How could they NOT make the list?

90's, or nearly so

I can't believe they didn't mention LA Gear, or clashing patterns!

.... If you remember the "Like HI, okay?" episode of Family Ties
.... If you ever wanted to be Alex Keaton

[OogieBoogie]

2 of the things I was surprised didn't make the list...

Swatch Watches

Those clothes that changed colors with your body temp.

[SCUBAbe]

swatch watch was on there...

thanks for this list. It made the wait at the drive through tolerable.

If you had a mullet and didn't realized it was called a mullet.

Nope, Feldman looks good but Haim is starting to be a little eh to me.

I love the hair "I was experimenting." one.

Totally a victim of that.

I don't think you had to be a teenager to be a child of the 80's. I was born in '84 and I experienced/remember/know of a great portion of that list, thank you very much!

[MollyTrolly]

Wow, this is a very extensive list, more so than I have seen before. I actually had a friend that dates one for the Coreys (in 1988 I think, we were 17).

I am definitely victim of most of these...Actually I still have my Atari 2600 (and I have played it within the last 5 years)

[Wren]

I remember the 80's back when MTV actually used to play music videos.

[cal4iri]

Were Karate shoes in the 80's or early 90's?

[ItsGoodToBeKing]

I remember using Schoolhouse Rock to learn the Preamble to the Constitution...."We the People...."

Our teacher actually made a rule that we couldn't sing it!

[Nancywitt]

Class of '85 and proud of it! Thanks for the walk down memory lane Oogie.

[aashee]

If you've ever partied like it's 1999.
