I was born in 1974, so I was 6 through 16 in the 80's. I remember Guess Jeans (I never had any, but everyone else seemed to), and Back to the Future movies,
Music I liked included Duran Duran, Huey Lewis and the News, George Micheal, Billy Joel and Billy Idol, The Pet Shop Boys, and as I got older, Metallica, Ozzy, Motley Crue and Guns 'n Roses.
I didn't get a ton of access to the TV (my mom hogged it, lol), but I remember watching ALF, Family Ties, Night Court (Loved this show), Cagney and Lacey (My mom always loved a cop dramas) and The Golden Girls. I still love the Golden Girls.
I never had giant hair, but I feathered it. I remember being at a horsemanship camp, and the cabin reeked of RAIN hairspray. Gack. The smell of that hairspray triggers some wacky emotional response for me to this day.
My little brother was obsessed with Transformers, so I remember those, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, too. I also remember falling in love with the Phantom of the Opera at about age 13 (Rock Opera, YEAH!!!). My mom even took me to see it Live in Victoria Canada when I was 14, one of the greatest times of my young life. I became obsessed with Sarah Brightman, and that obsession lasted until about 7 or 8 years ago. I still love her, but I not longer obsess over her.
There's more of course, but those are some highlight I guess.
