It wasn’t just yesterday that “Walk Like an Egyptian” was playing on the radio. It wasn’t just yesterday that scrunccies and leg warmers were in high fashion. So why have I been seeing them lately? Have things from the eighties become popular again? And if so, WHY?
I will stand firm in the statement that only two or three things that actually came from the eighties was worth while: Yours truly and your’s only (Simeon). Granted DIVO and electric synthesizers are pretty stellar, but think about the other things: big hair, sad and cheesy ballads, shoulder pads, side pony-tails, etc!
Granted, I am not a fashion expert. I will be the first to admit that I wear more layers than most people can ever fathom, which is unfortunate for some. However, I don’t think that hair was meant to poofy and I don’t think pony-tail were meant to be worn to the side. I don’t think neon colors are safe for the eyes and I don’t think any guy should ever wear a cut-off shirt or tank top. These are just things that I can’t justify as cool and I don’t think ever will be!
But what makes something fashionable and other things not? Like why were the eighties so awful? Well, I think the use of everything synthetic kind of hurt that one, but I don’t have the answer to that. I think the only thing needed to remember was that, these things weren’t just yesterday, they were clearly TWENTY years ago…its time to move on ☺
