Now, as a lot of us know, the 80's and early 90's WERE just better times to be a kid. The media was above and beyond, imagination was out of this world. We got the best cartoons, some of the greatest movies ever, the commercials were crazy, colorful, creative and fun, the toys were fantastic, the music was amazing and just i adored the daring and colorful fasion trends. If I had a time machine you bet your buns I'd go back without question! ;p

Maybe I've got mad nostalgia for the era, but I'm not clouded by it.
And I know this may sound immature but here's a fine example of someone forcing their little opinion down your throat about that era.


Nah, I'm pretty sure this is just the opinion of someone remembering only the good parts of that decade. The Soviet Union was still in full effect, Ronald Reagan was president, and a fuck ton of people were doing cocaine. Oh wait, that's not allowed to be mention when someone goes on a misty eyed, "The Way We Were" rant about how great the 80s were.

I'd rather have grown up in the 90s than the 80s anyways. Better video games (seriously, debate this with me), Nickelodeon's peak, wrestling was better and became more mainstream than it had ever been after one of the lowest points in its history (all in the same decade), the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and George Strait starring in the greatest movie ever made, Pure Country.

Forrest Griffin said it best in his book, "When something is distant or far away, it seems better to people because it's not right there with them. It's like with Pride (MMA organization), since it was in Japan, everyone thought it was great. Then the fighters came over here and none of them have done well."

Since the 80s are a distant decade, the above applies. People will try to remember it as an awesome time to be alive, but really, it was pretty fucked up.

And there's this little one.


"You're right, I have no say in anything 80s or early 90s (though my earliest memories are like Christmas 92 which I only remember because "Achy Breaky Heart" was playing on the TV). I've watched those same movies, played those same games, seen the same cartoons, and listened to those same songs. That whole paragraph from you screams the stupid wrestling fan mentality of "YOU WEREN'T AROUND FOR SOMETHING I LIKE AND YOU'RE BADMOUTHING IT SO YOU CAN'T HAVE AN OPINION ON IT.

Just because I wasn't around for it doesn't mean I don't know enough about pop culture in the 80s or early 90s to form my own opinion on it.

Everything you say when you talk about the 80s is clouded by nostalgia. You purport this whole idea that the 80s were amazing and you act like it's a fact. It's not, you even finally said it yourself that it's all subjective, but I digress. I "don't know anything"

The article.

Creepy! I love it. ;p

Honestly though what do you guys think of this guy's opinion. It's that type of crap that annoys the hell out of me. Some person shoving their opinion down your throat like it's a fact, telling 'you' that you're clouded by nostalgia. Some people just don't have a clue. And besides the guy apperantly is 20, so that says it all rigt there.lol

I've always been puzzled when I'm expected to think exactly like someone else, as if the other person thinks correctly, implying that I think incorrectly.

Yes I do, just because I still enjoy certain things like movies or games from my childhood doesn't mean I'm not capable of enjoying stuff from today's era too. The biggest thing that pisses me off is the dumbasses who tell people 'you're full of nostalgia, you hate on everything from today because it's the cool thing to do, blah blah blah' are hating on things from the past for the exact same reason. They think they're going against the crowd but all they're really doing is being a bunch of hypocritical douches. People like that need to get over themselves. There's nothing wrong with looking back fondly at things from the past just like there's nothing wrong with enjoying stuff from this time period as well. Every decade had its ups and downs.

Yeah those guys are total assholes 8)

Take off the nostalgia goggles, fags.

Never happened to me.

Never happened to me either, I have a grip on reality.

Nostalgia is a great thing! Everyone has it for one thing or another. We all know not everything in our past was perfect but that's what's great about our memories. Of course we'll never forget about the bad times of our past but we can focus more on the things that we recall as "the greatest time of our childhoods".Mine is for the 80's as a young child and the next guy's might be for the late 90's. Who are we to judge on one's nostalgia?!

Are you drunk?

WOW! You ROCK!! Way to cut down other prople to make yourself feel better about yourself! Did you have to do that alot in High School?!
