I Hate the 80's (Part 1)

The hair- It was a time where androgeny was the in thing.

If you were a glam rock fan, the men had their hair long and pretty and the women had their hair long but not as pretty.

If you were a Duran Duran fan, both the man and woman would have the EXACT same haircut.

Styling your hair would take no less than 45 minutes at which a quarter bottle of Aqua Net hairspray would be consumed. Blue bottle for a normal day, Pink bottle for those special occasions.

Why i hated the hair
I hated long hair on guys. It confused me. Was he handsome or pretty? Did he go to a salon or a barber? Did he have to have his hair wrapped up in a towel after showers like my mom? Was he my mom?


The music fan
If you were a Cure fan and a guy you were either gay, latin, or just really enjoyed wearing makeup. If you were a girl then you were probably lonely because the only guys you'd meet at concerts were gay or had more makeup on than you...which never went over well with dad.
You liked the music because it 'spoke' to you. They put your feelings of angst into musical form in a way that the hair bands just could not. Sure you didn't get laid until college but that's okay because that music still 'speaks' to you to this day.

If you were a Madonna fan and a guy you were probably gay or just really enjoyed dancing... alone....To songs titled "Like a Virgin" or "Material Girl". If you were a girl and like madonna then-....well actually you were normal. You liked wearing headbands, legwarmers,lacey skirts, and enjoyed performing the ocassional blowjob.
Madonna's music was more about empowering girls to release the inner whore. "You're just putting in the tip so it doesn't count."

If you were a glam rock fan you were either really beautiful yourself or just had really big hair. If you were a guy the pants you wore were so tight it gave you a camel toe... but that didn't matter because it matched your girlfriend's. (and yes, you did have a girlfriend unlike the other music fans.) Glam chicks were hot. They showed the chest, legs and everything else that was allowed without a subscription.
The music itself didn't have any meaning but there were alot of great power chords and the art of 'sing yelling' or 'yell singing' was perfected.

If you were a death metal fan you had little to no friends and probably have very few to this day. Your hygiene was questionable at best and lets face it, you still carry around a smell now.
Oh and you sold out by cutting off your hair.

Why i hated the music fan
All music fans tended to dress exactly like their favorite bands so pretty much all their individuality was lost. I think it's pretty sad when people in the 70's can laugh at how people in the 80's dressed. Considering they were high all the time, thats saying something.
