We didn't have everyone glued to phones or pads instead we went to parties - smoked up - danced and fucked as much as we wanted to.

Some music was a bit strange but rock was still strong with Metallica, Motley Crue, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Van Halen and Guns N' Roses - Prince to name a few.

If you got into a fight you finished it without police or teachers and that was it - sure you got banged up but it taught you to suck it up and fight better not call your lawyer. We didn't need guns or knives - we used our fists and if there was a fight - it was for a damn good reason.

80s had great movies and TV shows but overall the music was LOUD !!! You left concerts ike The Who with ears ringing for a week - stereos from cars to headphones had no limiters on them

finally you had songs like Money for Nothing where lines such as "that little faggot got his own jet airplane"... was played on air. Later removed over sensitivity issues but strangely brought back since the word "faggot" was needed to understand the song. That would never happen now with the woke culture
