Those bags also worked in kindergarten for the Indians during the thanksgiving day party

Loved the 80s and tell my kids about it often. Unified country, no SJW shite pushed down our throats to divide us, pop culture wasn't talentless trash, athletes weren't overpaid assholes yet, and our media wasn't bending over backwards to lie to us nightly. We actually sat down for dinner, talked to each other, and hung out together.
You’d find that in the 1980s, adults had similar wistful feelings about the 1950s or 60s

I miss the 90s more

I miss the 90s. But wish i was old enough to really enjoy the 80s. The 90s were more prude and PC.

I’m an absolute 80s kid
Turned 8 in 1980…
But I hate how it’s instantly some AI shite right off the bat
Sorry. Just being older and cranky

The 80s in Dallas were awesome for all the reasons you mentioned.
We used to get a drink and a tab of X in Deep Ellum back in the mid eighties.

Yep, that was when society took some radical turns. People were far more human and real.

What we want is something authentic.....I can't recall who said it but once the internet hit and then smart phones things sort of froze and it's just been the same type of crap over and over. We use to have cycles of authentic style, some not so good some f'n sweet.
Our problem are mostly with the phones...they have screwed up the world.

It’s almost like you read my posts from other threads about the 80’s and parroted them. Only you put it more succinctly and left out the part about Patrick Swayze. The least you could do is cite your sources for “your ideas”.
My eerily similar two posts from other threads about the 80’s are below:
The main reason is because the bullshite didn’t exist…political correctness wasn’t a big thing.
The alphabet people screaming about ridiculous gay and trans crap didn’t exist. Gays kept to themselves. If you said you were some “trans” crap, you would have been rightfully branded a freak.
Even the leftist politicians weren’t whackos like they are now.
The perpetually offended class of people didn’t exist. The faux outrage business didn’t exist so people weren’t lying in wait to destroy people.
Even the news was better, not like the crazy leftist media is today.
People just lived and let live. Except the Ruskies. We sent Patrick Swayze into the Colorado mountains to kill them all!”
“This is so true. The music was iconic and unique. The movies were original and smart. What would the world be like if John Hughes didn’t make those movies. His movies defined the 80’s. He was just a brilliant, talented guy who was right time, right place.
Vacation was based on a short story Hughes wrote for National Lampoon about a vacation his family took when he was a kid. It was called Vacation ‘59 or something like that.
There were other for sure like Fast Times that was amazing and launched the careers of several actors/actresses.
Today, there are almost no original movies. Most are remakes or crappy franchises that are made for the sole purpose of making money.
80’s music was great because the groups were all truly talented. The music today all sounds the same. It’s manufactured “talent” chosen by a label and then packaged and promoted.

To quote a great 80s icon,
You can get just so much from the good thing
You can linger too long in your dreams
Say goodbye to the oldies but goodies
'Cause the good ol' days weren't always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems

It might not be the same, but I would sure appreciate a week a or two back in the 80’s like it was a trip to Disney. We took it for granted then.
I’m surprised somebody hasn’t capitalized on an idea like this. When you enter the park, you check your phones in or have them routed to a land line phone at the place you are staying where you can only make calls. Everything else feels like the 80s. Just have a downtown like area that fits the theme. Like a faux town. Would be amazing. Stay there for a week or however long.

There's a number of women I was with that I wouldn't mess with now and a number of women I'd go back and take another shot, but my approach now would work.
"Is $200 enough? Yes? Cool."
It's cheaper than the divorce from a marriage I would totally avoid, now.
