Hello I'm a zoomer that watches 80's TV shows and 80's movies such as Miami Vice and Freddy Kruger,Scarface. But I think the 80's is more than just cocaine women and everything so I'd like to ask these questions,what were the 80's like? Was it good or bad? And was there abunch of neon stuff in the 80's?
Were the 80's good or bad?

The 80's and 90's were the two last greatest decades in American history. That and socially we were at the perfect point for technology where it was not pervasive, but still offered access to a great wealth of information and communication.
I'll just keep it short: if you missed out on the 80's and 90's you missed out on the future America should have been if it was more white and corporations weren't allowed to run Helter Skelter.

>And was there abunch of neon stuff in the 80's
Flat "neon" logos with pastel colors and there were more neon signs but signs were never the color scheme people imagine they were. VHS tracking doesnt work the way its simulated, tvs didnt "fish eye" they just looked like shit at an angle, there werent more pixels in a hardware overlay than on your screen and most of the time they were MORE blurry, house interiors were 50s-70s hold overs unless you were going "modern" which just meant walls were grey or white, everything was stainless steel and you knocked down walls for the hell of it.
Everyone wore jeans/sweatshirts/sweaters except "modern" people who wore polyester or leather or pleather.
The world smelled like fast food and overheated electronics and your biggest dangers were eating badly bonded teflon, breathing in asbestos from old shit or touching things made with lead paint.

Wearing condoms was silly in the 80s
Sex diseases didn't effect the straight community just gays.
90's pushed condoms on people who didn't need it.

If we had modern technology with 80's and 90's pop culture the world would be better.
Getting to experience the 80's and 90's was fun
Today's modern culture you need alot of money to have fun

This was sad. 80's futura was absolutely aesthetic but most people either couldn't afford to redecorate or didn't want to. I'm planning on doing my bedroom in this style at the end of next year when I should have the money.
Another thing was dating was for everyone, not just top 20% of males. Women were not blasted 24/7 with attention and thus did not have themselves on such a high pedestal. Don't get me wrong, some bitches were still stuck up, but no where near to the level of today.

The 80s were even better than you could imagine.
