born in 87 in colombia saw the american way of life on tv and was facinated by it, while bombs went off in the background...

I don't identify with any particular era or fashion or whatever the heck one could fixate themselves upon.

As far as I'm concerned the Muppet show and Sesame street concept was born out of one too many nights of taking blow.
Ahhhh haaaaaaa these creative people. Brilliancy at it's deepest most raw essence.

growing up in the early 90s was all about...




If you're too young to remember this, you suck.

damn straight.

Reagan Babies > *

i think we're the best generation, personally. and all these fucks that were born post 1988 can suck it. and because i simply said, "suck it" they're going to whine and cry to their mommies or text their BFFF and be like, "OMG WHAT A JERK HE HURT MY FEELINGS"

you know what one of the most iconic things i remember from the 80s? METAL PLAYGROUNDS.

who the hell here remembers those????? Those fucking tall ass twisty slides made of metal that were implanted into CONCRETE. none of this plastic today's shit...no wood chips, no sand. when you jumped off that swing (going higher than the bar, of course), you landed on rock solid, hardass concrete. unless you were a pilot like me and could make it all the way past the concrete and into the grass. and we didn't have our parents watching us @ the playground....no sir, we were playing by OURSELVES, while the older high school kids shot up and smoked dope along the metal fence that surrounded the park. and you know what? life was good.

that's what growing up in the 80s was all about to me. you don't learn life by getting a "talking to". you learn in life by making mistakes, and getting a little road rash on your knee caps.

vagina '85.

we had the best shit on TV. I watched 90% of all my shows in French, and I recently found a chanel that plays all the old school shows I watched but in English. Makes for great shows to watch during breakfast.

lol @ SS, that show went downhill after it turned to Sesame park andh ad a handful of new characters..

ps, TETRIS came out in the 80s. how fucking cool was that shit? [1985, the year you were born ]

At least at that time, we had a President who knew how to give a fucking speech. Even though I was but a wee lad, watching Ronald Reagan talk about things I could not understand at the time was very inspirational. I loved the 80's for Star Wars, Back to the Future, Lite Brites, Nintendo, Michael Jackson and Rocky IV. You always wanted to beat the shit out of somebody after watching that movie.

And I'll never ever forget the Loma Prieta earthquake of 89.

Case in point:

WHAT I DID IN THE 80'S AT HOME (AGE 10-13 or so):

Read comics.
Drew comics.
Made animated films (cel, claymation, cutouts, stop motion) with my dad's Super-8 camera.
Used my Casio sampler to make the soundtrack.
Wrote screenplays about superheroes and the FUTURE, inspired by those movies and superhero cartoons. Remember when technology, space and the future were really hot shit??
Listened to music on the radio and taped the good songs.
Built a crystal radio from whatever was around the house, and listened to the cool music on that.
Invited a few friends over and recorded nastier, more disgusting rhymes than any hiphop artist today - usually made up on the bus.
Then we watched cartoons from the 50's, you know, the REALLY violent Tom & Jerrys where they smashed everything in the house.
And if there was nothing to do we'd go out into the junkyard and talk about pieces we could build robots out of, then draw pictures of them in the house. Because we were creative geniuses.


WHAT I DO NOW AT HOME:

Work on the computer.
Read stuff on the computer.
Make music on the computer - well I used to. Tape decks & Radio Shack mixers were cooler.
Watch stuff on the computer.
Lie down or get out because my ff'in back is killing me from sitting in front of the computer.

Computers, man. What the hell.
