You ever wore fluorescent, neon clothing and/or wore a banana
clip at some point during your youth. |
|
You could breakdance, or wish you could. |
|
You wanted to be the Hulk or Princess Leia for Halloween. |
|
You believed that "By the power of Greyskull", you
had the power. |
|
Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away. |
|
You remember the "Garbage Pail kids" and maybe owned
some. |
|
You knew what Willis was "talkin bout". |
|
You remember when ATARI was a state of the art video game system. |
|
You owned cassettes and/or recorded songs off the radio with
your Boom Box. |
|
You were led to believe that in the year 2000, we'd all be living
in space. |
|
You know what leg warmers are (or had a pair) and/or wore biker
shorts under a mini skirt and felt stylish. |
|
You wore your Izod shirt with the collar up and/or a Swatch
Watch with the Swatch Guard. |
|
You remember when Happy Meals came in a box, not in a paper
bag. |
|
You remember when Saturday Night Live was funny..."Jane,
you ignorant slut". |
|
You had Wonder Woman or Superman underoos. |
|
You remember "The Super Bowl Shuffle". |
|

|
You have ever said "Gag Me With A Spoon" or "Sike". |
|
You have ever wondered what happened to Saturday morning cartoons. |
|
You had to get up to change the channel, or had one of those
noisy clicky boxes. |

a movie...on Beta. |
|
Your arm was full of rubber bracelets and/or you wore those
wide colourful shoelaces. |
|
You know what happens when you get a Gremlin wet. |
|
If you can identify with at least half of this list, then
you, my friend, are a child of the 80s!
