[cowgirlnerd]

That cracks me up because I can remember my older sister being MADLY in love with Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy.  I actual had a little Hardy Boys turntable with microphone that had David Cassidy on it.  Hey - what about the Leif Garrett thing??  

:)

I was a Madonna chick of the 80's - ACDC - Ozzie - I was eclectic, I suppose.  VERY Preppy though.  I still have an Izod sweater that I dearly love.  

[Mollyrae]

My very first concert I saw was David Cassidy....Oh man I was in love...I begged my Mom to take me....I think she wanted to throw up...

[JoyRenee]

I was a preschooler!

[suzi-q]

Joy..I am jealous!!!!

[MJIthewriter]

I was pretty young, like age 6.  I don't think I was any of the above. I lived outside, in my own world and it didn't matter to me what "assigned" roles people played in the social status.

That in it's own way is liberating... except I was likely placed into "the nerd" role by my peers....

[gwmclean]

Didn't we all "Grow Up" in the 80's...Unless you were born after December 31st/89....But I am a product of the 70's, child of the 80's. Teenager of the 90's.  And still don't want to grow up.

I grew up with  GI Joe, Thunder Cats, & my Pogo Ball.  I was tuned in when MTV turned on.  I blame Sesame Street for my A.D.D., and love it for it

I've been online most of my life, and my first skates were in-line
My friends never talked about the new song on the radio,
we talked about the new video on MTV.

You can keep you Bradies, and  Partridge Families
I'll take the Keatons, or the Taylors anyday.

Your mother may have been a car,
but I grew up watching and Alien live in a garage.

You can have your mister wizard.
I'll take Bill Nye, or Beaker anyday.

[Agiesmom]

I was none of the above.  I had a look that was more of a cross between a Madonna and Punk look.  I was friendly with everyone (geeks and cheerleaders alike)--not part of any "group".  Refused to conform.  Hated cliques.  Was elated on graduation day and couldn't understand why people were crying.

[Mrs_Savas]

I was also none of the above.  I started out a punk rocker, went to death rock and ended up sort of grunge/ post punk by the end of the decade and the beginning of the next.

BTW death rock might mean something else now, but then it was what goth is now.  Sort of.  The 80's was a fun time for glam revival too.  

Hated Reagan, knew he was doing everything wrong and that it would inevitaly lead to disaster.  Turns out, was totally right!!!  Sorry,  just had to toss that in!  :>
