You People wonder why the kids of the 80's are so bitter...

We were Mallrats, We had to listen to "pump up the jam" We remember the stock crash of 87, High Debt Credit Cards, with the famouse phrase "charge it" We never found out where the beef is, & the biggest letdown of the 80's was hearing Mike Tyson's Mickey Mouse voice.

Our Parents were always trying to keep up with the Jones's, whoever died first with the most stuff wins.

We quickly learned about Bankruptcy cpater 13 & 7.

the term " cream in my jeans" was replaced by "MILF"

We all wanted to meet Freddy Kruger.

We were begging our parents to book us a room at Crystal Lake Camp.

We learned how to quietly turn the knob on the cable box to watch hitchhiker.

We thought it was normal to have 2 cable boxes stacked on top of each other, and to throw a blanket over them when company came over

We thought all parents worked 60 hour weeks

THis is just some of my memories from the 80"s.

I might not remember much of the 80's (I was born in 81), but I still think Bret Michaels is hot.
