defender, donkey kong, the goonies, van halen, prince, dire straits, the Atari of course, the Star Raiders game, pac man, nomads shoes, ski jackets(sleevless), detachable speakers 2-cassettes players were hot items to have, Honda XR's dirt bikes were school buy fantasy bikes in the mids 80s, the sports bike in late got really fashionable (i left school end of 1987) TZR's NSR's, VFRs, GSX-R's, parties in parents homes- gate crashing was safe back then, lot of fun. ther too many to list but im definitely was the 80's child, DEVO music, Stars Wars 2 and 3. Alien films scared the shit out of everyone, and it still rocks. Lots of silly horrors movies but all were actually popular to watch esp the elm street series and friday 13th.
third generation computers were alot of fun, programming skill was basically a must-have in owning a home computer (most of them plugged in TVs too), nearly everything was stored on cassette tapes lol unless you were rich enough to have disk drive - 5 and a quarter inchers.
leave it to others to add.....
