 Are You a Child of the 80s?
Trapped between the "Baby Boomers" and "Generation
Y" is a special generation ... a generation we call "Children of
the Eighties." If you can identify with most of the 15 points below,
chances are you are definitely one of them ...
- You owned a *real* Rubik's cube.
- One word: Izod.
- You remember when MTV didn't exist. Alternatively you remember when
the M stood for Music, not Mundane.
- "Alternative" music actually was...and not popular Top 40
tunes.
- You were a "wanna be". Madonna, Duran Duran, Michael
Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Boy George, etc.
- "Where's the beef?"
- You know how to use a rotary phone.
- Max Headroom was cool.
- You know how (or wanted to be able) to Moonwalk!
- Atari, IntelliVision, TelStar and Coleco were the ultimate gaming
systems to own.
- Leg warmers and headbands alá Pat Benatar once looked really cool
to you.
- You remember when Jordache jeans with a flat-handle comb in the back
pocket was cool.
- Jelly bracelets & shoes!
- Your hair defied gravity.
- You are still baffled by the "day glo" clothing trend.
So, are you a Child of the '80s? You're facing a long uphill culture
battle to stay tuned-in to that great decade, so follow our advice:
 | Never forget or deny your 80s heritage. Be sure to start most of
your sentences with "Back in the 80s" or "When I was
your age"...
|
| Spend a majority of your time
obsessing over how much better things were "back then". |
| Never let them see you sweat. |
