Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exist in 80's movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I wanna ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just once I want my life to be like an 80's movie.

Too many poodles with guitars

If you go back to the '80s, you had a whole plethora of artists, everyone from Madonna and Cyndi Lauper to Prince. God bless Lady Gaga for doing her thing, but she's kind of a lone peacock now.

In the 80s, the hair was big, the shoulder pads were even bigger, and the music was simply mega! From aerobics to neon colors - the 80s were just the ultimate decade of eccentric style. Synthesizers were hotter than ever, and we all danced to "Wake me up before you go-go". Oh, how we love the 80s!

In the deep waters of the past, where the shadows of the 80s lie, shines the fluorescent age. People danced to electronic sounds and dressed in bright colors. Yet beneath the surface, political conflicts and social changes were hidden. An era of excess and uncertainty, captured in the annals of history.

80s

The 80s were a wonderful time,
With neon colors and music, so fine.
Synthesizer sounds guiding our way,
From Duran Duran to Scorpions' display.

The hair was big and wild,
Shoulder pads, a fashionable child.
Breakdancing and hip-hop made their mark,
The style of the 80s was truly stark.

In the disco, we danced till the dawn,
With leggings, shoulder pads, and earrings on.
Madonna and Michael Jackson took the stage,
With their hits, they captured every heart's gauge.

The 80s were a time of pure fun,
Nothing could stop us, we were on the run.
The fashion, the music, the whole culture too,
The 80s were simply pure and true.

Michael Jackson Madonna 80s
