Yep that's right, How can we forget the 80's? These years might have been the biggest one hit wonder years of all time haha. The 80's had so much to it, So many styles and some of best movies too for that matter. This is when I picked up a guitar for the first time and started learning on my own and the ONLY reason I did that at first was for the females, you got it. I still play guitar if anyone was wondering except now it's not only for the females :). The 80's are when I first got into martial arts and still doing that as well. Yeah, From the movies, Music, The fashion and a lot of other things, The 80's sure made a big statement. Anyone that was brought up in the 80's generation or really got into it know exactly what I mean. Some of my favorites bands from the 80's to start off, Wow that is a very long list but I'll try my best to give a decent amount.

80's movies : A tribute

80's movies

Alright, Without a doubt the 80's had some of the best movies ever, Shall I mention such movies like Friday the 13th, Halloween and so on? Yes I know they might have started in the late 70's but took off in the early 80's. As a kid I loved movies and I know i got that from my dad, He was and still is a huge movie fan, I am as well, still to this day, I love movies and can't get enough of them. Yes I still watch and own plenty of 80's movies. The 80's didn't have any huge special effect like today nor did they need it, They had great actors and loads of them are still going today.

While writing this, I had to actually take a short pause, I nearly teared up lol. I Guess it just brings my childhood back, Old freinds, good times outside playing sports or just goofing off, As adults we easily forget these things and take for granted what we have now. We act or do as our parents once did which makes most of us laugh when we think about it. None of us thought we would ever think the way our parents did and though there might be quite a few differences, We still think some what like them now that we are grown.
