Do you wish the world looked like it did in the 80s?

I do

You'll pardon this old mans intrusion, but i suspect that's because you didn't have to live through it !!

Constant cock ups with economy; lots of folk out of work; many folk disaffected; many long standing businesses closed; foreclosures at an all time high; strikes; .....
the 80's gave us the death of long standing industries and the birth of the ones you use today.
But it certainly wasn't a good time for many of us who went from school leaving age to parenthood in that time.

Surely there is some nostalgia in there for the eighties scene though

@Jackaloftheazuresand Nostalgia serves no purpose other than to make you think hardship wasn't as bad as it really was.
oh sure, we had the same stuff every generation has in terms of musical trends. Punk; New Wave; New Romantic; Two-Tone; Ska revival etc.Blade Runner; Dirty Dancing; Raiders of the lost ark; Ghostbusters; Scarface; E:T; Star Wars 2(these days referred to as episode 6 ?)
Oh yes. Much less pollution and buildings

For me it's the movies. The 80s had some of good ones going.

Escape from New York, The Heathers, Sleepaway Camp, Child's Play (late 80s,) Mad Max :)

Don't forget about the music as well . I'm dancing around listening to Madonna as we speak 😨
Jackaloftheazuresand · 26-30, M
Well we can always relive the music but you can't walk down an 80s street anymore

Better then right now I've always wanted to see the 80s

It wasn't all fun and games. Cokeheads, the rise of crack, there were some dark times, for sure.
