Subject: What things come to mind when you hear "80's"?
Written By: SiderealDreams on 06/07/14 at 2:14 pm
When I hear "80's," here are some of the things that come to mind for me:
Goths
Darkwave
Synthpop
New Wave
Post-Punk
Big hair
John Hughes movies
Dario Argento movies (especially Phenomena)
Cheesy action movies
Horror movies with delightfully cheesy effects
The best "so bad they're good" movies
Post-apocalyptic aesthetics, especially in movies and music videos
Glam Metal
Ronald Reagan
Relatively widespread conservative and pro-corporate attitudes in the US (can't speak for other countries)
Fear of nuclear war
Androgynous fashion (coexisting with homophobia, never understood that)
First wave of black metal and extreme metal in general
Satanic panic

Now this is one of the most f--ked up Partnership for a Drug-Free America ads. A pretty girl gets so f--ked up on drugs that she ends up under a sheet. I don't know what's worse the ever changing face of the girl or being wierded out by the female voice singing happy birthday?
And the male voice is even more creepy.
