In case you're too young to have experienced the 80's....
This is pretty much what it was like 24/7.

And here I was thinking the '80s involved tons of cocaine and drug wars. Also the rise of millionaire drug kingpins on every coast. No, I wasn't old enough to experience the '80s but the '90s were great (for me at least) M.C Hammer takes the cake. He's a prime example of what to do and what not to do. American Gladiators was also a cool show. That crosses into the 90s as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for sharing. The video put a smile on my face. It reminds me of the good times and the things I thought make this country great to be a part of. (that kind of don't exist anymore)

You have to admire their spirit, if anything. Actually over the last few years I've come to appreciate a lot of the music of the 80's that I absolutely hated at the time. I wouldn't listen to anything but thrash music back then (& bizarrely enough, Steely Dan. My mix tapes were an emotional roller coaster to say the least  ).

Oddly, I enjoyed thrash music. Dirty Rotten Imbeciles and Suicidal Tendencies were awesome to me then. I even would incorporate thrash into hip-hop mixes. The 80's liek all periods had it's commercial mass distributed garbage but also amazing works. Some of the music I hate most and some I love best came from that time.

I've even come to love some of the mass distributed stuff. Was listening to Lionel Richie's "Running With The Night" the other day, what a great sounding track. Also Phil Collins & Philip Bailey's "Easy Lover," and Tina Turner's "Private Dancer." Some of it just has a great atmosphere which is quintessentially 80's and seems very cool to me now.

Funny video. Bad television at its best.
I did not watch a lot of TV in the 80's. It was probably my most active musical period, other than the high-school days. So I guess I had good things to do.
But I did get to watch some shows. One was C.H.I.P.s (late 70's - early 80s). Good ol' Ponch.
And remember 'L.A. Law'? I think this show changed the face of lawyer TV shows a lot.

The 80's also featured strange things like porn star Ron Jeremy rapping. Yes, it was as awful as it sounds.

My memory goes back so far I still think of Van Halen as a new band...
I tried aerobics once and ended up with an asthma attack. Enough of that! I always enjoyed watching Denise Austin though. Cheap thrills, for sure!

I had SO much fun during the 80's that I've (thankfully) forgotten most of it. 
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!

I hated the 80's music. After getting in audio production my attitude has changed. Some of the electronic instruments are still desired. I would imagine music production and enginering would be more of a challenge combine guitar and synths when it comes to harmonic.
