growin up in the 80's...

Swass · Guest

OK, youngsters...we're talkin' 80s here, not 90s!

Anyone born after 1970 doesn't get to play.

How can people for get about Jams? OP, pacific sunwear, Hobie, those were sooo cool. Also if you were a skater you remember Vision Skate Wear and Skate Rags. The bike shorts under your jean shorts were cool for about 3 weeks. We called it "tight rolling", instead of pegging. I think the long boardshorts now are reminicent of Jams. Kind of an omage to them if you will.

Yeah, boardshorts are a total spinoff of jams. I was into jams back then & I'm into boardshorts now.

B-rad, I had that Tony Hawk skater hairdo, the wave that hangs in front of your face, through most of the 90's. Not my proudest moment. Embarassed

I was with you on the hair cut, straight out of "Gleaming the Cube". What about the rat tail, I had one of those for awhile as well when I was growing up.

Oh man, I forgot all about my 6 inch rat tail. Thank god that went the way of disco.

Ha ha, no! Fortunately I didn't have a rat tail OR a mullet!

I had two pairs of parachute pants! The girls liked us to wear them super tight. I would pass out from lack of air if I tried that today. Not to mention the fact that nobody would want to see a 34 year old guy wearing those. Shocked

In the early 80s, we all wore the white canvas Nike shoes with the new "Swoosh" design on the side. Later, we wore the Reebok hightops with the top few rows unlaced and also tightrolled our pants. (what you guys call 'pegging') Laughing

swass the reason it turned into a 90's thread is cuz most of the things on that list are from the early 90's, so techniqly we arnt turning it into a 90's post, thats wha it is, just some of its 80's also, its a mix of 80's and 90's, so some of us youngsters and can still relate to some of it, but i still have no idea what parechute pants are, lol

this thread probably should have been called growin up in the 90s or born in the 80s

I don't know, I was born in the 70's (boy i feel old right now Sad

) grew up in the 80's, and I think the list reflect stuff mostly from the 80's. Some if it is late 80's but I don't think there is much of the 90's represented there.

And yes I had parchute pants, and a rat tail, never pegged or tightrolled my pant though.

Rat the greatest hair band ever...

Oh and don't leave out Quiet Riot!!!

Swass · Guest

Let it go? I set the arbitrary cutoff, and I expect it to be obeyed.

OK, if you graduated from HS in the 80s, you can play.

Aubs, everything you mentioned was from the 90s, so you, young lady, are out. Sorry, but I have spoken. Don't go away mad - just go away.

Swass · Guest

Quite Riot? Is that the British spelling? Wink

Jester · Posted: Apr 24, 2003 9:54 am Post subject:

Wait, I graduated high school in '95 but I still grew up in the 80's! Lemme in!

swass - i hate to be the bearer of bad news... its my post - therefore i stay...
unless its a unanamous decision by every other poster on here

Swass · Guest

Hmmm...you made two erroneous assumptions: First, you assumed I was serious; and second, that I really care.

Swass- I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. I'm not sure if it was a typing error or I wasn't thinking.
