What about:
You wore a bandana around you're leg?
You know the meaning of OP (Ocean Pacific)..
You ever wore a painters cap with Twisted Sister on it...
You ever bought a perfectly good T shirt you just had to have, just to cut the arms and the sides off it as soon as you got it home....
You ever wore a pair of parachute pants...
Remember when MTV was actually about the music
You know where the words "chicks for free" come from.
You wore leg warmers.
Those of you who were born after/during the 80's remember this stuff, cause ya'll are kids of us from the 80's

AAAAHHHH the 80's

WOW I started High school in 1981

Computers in the 80s
everything was "IBM compatible."
You had either an XT or an AT.
There were NO hard drives, you booted and ran your computer off 720K disks.
You were psyched when the new orange monitors came out, no longer just green monitors!
Great list early
