Those that know me would never believe it, but I had a pony tail in the late 80’s. One of those rat tails.

I am not aware of any pics. I know a few taken from the front… none of the back.

Mid 80’s also had feathered hair. Shit that was embarrassing to type.

80’s music rocked. The best.

Life in general was good.

Something about that era… technology was there, but social media wasn’t.

So, things were real, and we still had what you need like medicine, AC, full feature kitchens, etc. But your friends and family face to face was what life was about.

As a child of the eighties I'd agree with this ...

My sins -- Atari 2600, Koosh Balls, Slap Bracelets, Yo-yo's (coke, fanta, solo), the walkman, Monster Balls, Rubik's cube (and remember the Rubik Master Magic Folding Puzzle Toy?) and Masters of the Universe.

I still have feathered hair. I've tried shaving it short but it looks like fur so I went back to the 80s look.

Well, I’m jealous.

I am mostly rocking a “Kojak” from the 80’s now…

I should have dark blue’ed that. Lol. I am not bald… but my feather would suck.

 

[Neil039]

Yes to half the list….at the end of the decade I had the serious in the front / party in the back hair cut lol

This nullifies any argument that the 80s were the best decade.

Feathered hair shoulder length of course

Still love 80's music!

Had the drug talk with the parents high from some Humbolt my uncle sent home with me, same uncle he is only like 7 years older a late baby and my mom is the oldest He was more a big brother growing up as the oldest grandkid/niece nephew.

After the old Activision game console we went to the Nintendo

All of the above, I've tossed out dozens of pictures of myself in the most ridiculous shirts and bright orange shorts and bad haircuts. But the music rocked.
