Some of that 'fashion' was hilarious! And, like, you know, Valleyspeak was sooo totally radical. Some of that is just fun to think about and laugh at. Like the big-ass, teased, hairsprayed to wazoo hair styles? Those power suits with the shoulder pads that could double as football pads? What were we thinking?

Okay, yes, fuck Reaganomics, there's nothing funny about that or ignoring the AIDS crisis or the shuttle exploding (which apparently we learned nothing from) or any of the other terrible things that happened (assassinations, hijackings, Chernobyl, Tiananmen Square, oil spill, Iran-Contra Affair, etc.).

But along with the music and movies, other good things happened - the Berlin wall came down, the first artificial heart, Sandra Day O'Connor was put on the Supreme Court, the PG-13 rating came about, some awesome toys were made, some good books were published (and some really weird ones), some good television (yes, there were some awfully silly shows, too), and home computers took off.

So, yeah it wasn't just a time of Care Bears and synth-pop and people shouldn't idealize it the way they do (though people do this for other decades too), but it wasn't all bad.
