It was the decade of decadence. It was glitz and glamor, as well as ornaments, bracelets and beads.
Elizabeth Taylor fell in the wedding of Luke and Laura. Lady Diana Spencer joined the Royal Family. Evening soaps like Falcon Crest and Dynasty ruled television. Margaret Thatcher ruled the United Kingdom. Tom Cruise felt the need for speed. Gordon Gekko taught Wall Street whiz kids that greed was good. True Colors Cyndi Lauper showed her.
When did all this?
We can only be talking about that fabulous time – the electric eighties.
Here are twenty ways for you to check you're a part of (or belong to) the 1980s.
1. Breakdancing on the sidewalk seemed amused. Now it seems that you can break something.
2. You still can recite dialogue from any movie starring Molly Ringwald.
3. "Cell Phone" means, people phone used when they had their "one phone call" in prison.
4. You had at least one of the following: a Cabbage Patch Kid, My Little Buddy a Rubik's cube, or something with Star Wars logo on it.

7. His first album was a vinyl 33 and who laughed at their parents because they wanted to play 45's and 8-TRACK TAPES.
8. Remember that Bernard Goetz is and what hit the headlines.
9. Someone on your street or neighborhood sent their life savings to a televangelist increasingly discredited.
10. You walked with friends at the mall, especially in our video gallery where they exchanged hard-earned quarters of chips.
11. You remember when Reagan Gorbachev met in Reykjavik, Iceland for a summit.
12. You and your friends made fun of "I've fallen and can not get up" lady. (The fiction woman was named Mrs. Fletcher and the product was LifeCall emergency service.) | You and your friends made fun of "Where's the Beef?" commercial for Wendy, Clara Peller.)))
13. You think the word "as" an integral part of each sentence and should be used as often as possible. In this way, "It was like, like, why I say that, it's not like me at all. Like Who does he think he is, you know? As of true! "
14. You know that "Back in St. Olaf …" was the beginning of a very complicated history.
15. You joined a protest or gave an interview to a local radio station of the media asking them to put aside the New Coke and Coca-Cola's original be returned.
16. Do you remember when there was no such thing as CNN, E!, or MTV.
17. His parents were afraid that you cut put a snap bracelet.
18. You were inspired by Sally Ride, the first woman astronaut.
19. Go to the video store for movies about Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers occupies much of his time.
20. If someone says, "I do not know", automatically cringe waiting for the green slime to mysteriously fall from the ceiling.
21. You wore out their thumbs playing video games on one or all of the following consoles: Atari, Intellivision, Sega, Nintendo, and Coleco.
