The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of the 80s is my sweet and totally rocking mother. She was born in ’68 so the 80s were and still are her jam…eyeshadow and all. For this post I decided to interview her about the 80s then and now. LV: Thank you for taking a … Continue reading "What do the 80s mean?"

Week 1 – 80’s theme suggestions

by @cpsc106

January 17, 2020

I submitted a suggestion that we can watch The Goonies, a movie from 1985 about a group of friends. Today, I think shows like Stranger Things try to replicate that feeling of growing up in the 1980s but it isn’t the same as watching something that came out during that time period. Another thing we…

When I think about the 80s and theme, it brings to mind a decade home to many notable things, in entertainment, sports, politically, and in my family. During the 1980 Winter Olympics, the U.S. men’s ice hockey team beat the USSR, and in the following game won the gold medal. In 1983, the film, The … Continue reading "‘Cause she’s still preoccupied with 1985"

80s pop culture things

by @lizlynnkondzel

| ds106thingsthoughts, Syndicated
January 17, 2020

80’s pop culture in general, at least when I think about it, is very big and loud and over-the-top, but upon consideration, this is a very stereotypical, 2020-type view of things. As the gif suggests, this portrait of the 80’s is a very modern, “Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show satire” portrayal, and although there is no […]

Culture is irrelevant, especially pop culture. in the grand scheme of human history. We in the United States of America had two great Presidents that decade, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, who were able to win the cold war and defeat the Soviet Union. The victory of the cold war led to the collapse […]

The show ran through the events that took place on that day and the months that followed. The 1980s series showed the secrecy the Soviet Union practiced … Continue reading "The 80s"

Having little knowledge of 80s pop culture, I had to read through what TV Tropes and Wikipedia had to say about it. Now, some of you, especially those who are big fans of 80s pop culture and know it like the back of their hand–or even casual fans of 80s pop culture–may be thinking, “How […]

Maybe it’s because I am a product of the 80’s but I think it is one of the best generations in terms of films, music, television and fashion! Fashion was often unisex, and the line of gender was beginning to blur (Grace Jones, David Bowie and Prince are just a few examples of this. Feminism …

When I heard that our theme for the class was going to be 80s themed, I got very excited. I love the 80s (I have been someone from the 80s for as many Halloweens as I can remember). My mom grew up in the 80s and she always tell my sister and I stories of when she was younger and I remember being so jealous and wanting to live during the time of slap bracelets and mixtapes. And don’t even get me started on the movies that came out during the 80s…I remember wishing that I’d look out my window […]

The 80s was a very prominent decade. This decade brought many new innovations and culture within America that is still relevant to this day. We still adopt the 80s pop culture into our own culture. However, not all of the 80s were pleasant. During the 80s the AIDS epidemic became recognized, the Civil War was […]

I think the 80’s theme for this course is great because the 80’s was a time when people really started to express themselves with clothing, hairstyle and body image.

Thoughts on 80’s Pop Culture

September 13, 2019

I have very strong feelings toward the 80’s and the impact that 80’s pop culture had on our present. So many things from that time period seem so iconic, retro, or classic. It really set up a space for being a creative individual and spreading those ideas to the populace. Although there were always creative…

The 80s is my childhood my mother made us listen to every single 70s and 80s, one-hit- wonders, soundtracks and singles from 8 hour car rides or something to listen to while we clean. We listened to it all. And in her mind “we are better for it!” The 80s for me is a staple. …

Like most eras, the 80s are painted to be a blast. Fun fashion, rockin’ music, brand new amazing movies, and care-free teens. We romanticize the 80s and compress it into a modern aesthetic. I mean, look at all of the things from the 80s that are coming back! There are covers of popular 80s songs…
