I'm also a child (pre-teen/teen) of the 80s and some of the things I remember are the Commodore 64, Macintosh, Apple IIe, playing video games at the arcade for .25, neon colored clothes, walkmans, "rack" stereo systems, attempted assasination of Ronald Reagan, ties and colored visors with blinking lights, ghettoblasters (remember how we used to carry them on our shoulders?), Rubik's Cube, the first generation of rap music, cable TV when we only had 50 channels to choose from, MTV's debut in 1981 and metal lunchboxes.
 
I'm also a child (pre-teen/teen) of the 80s and some of the things I remember are the Commodore 64

Commodore 64's! They were the ultimate must-have computers of the '80's. I had one myself. I loved playing games on these 64's. Before my laptop died, it had a Commodore 64 emulator inside the HDD. (I just started rebuilding it last night and once I get it up and running, I'm a grabbing another C64 emulator for it :) )

Also my favorite 1980's moment was the 1982 World's Fair that was held in my hometown (Knoxville, TN) I had a season pass for the Fair. I visited the fair more like 20 times during the 6 months it was open including Opening Day. That Fair totally broke attendance records more than the 1964-1965 New York's World Fair. Since my visits to the 1982 World's Fair, I became such a fan of them.

You wore lace gloves with the fingers cut off, bangle bracelets up to your elbows, bright red Reebok high tops and parachute pants to a school dance.

You drink Diet Coke because Max Headroom told you to

You still wear a bandana tied around your leg and/or a ponytail off-center on the side of your head.

You have the tendency to turn up the collar of your polo shirts

You never go out for a night on the town without frosted blue eyeshadow and feathered bangs

Everything in your wardrobe is either pastel or fluorescent

People are constantly gagging you with spoons.

You know all the words to "I'm just a bill, sitting up on Capitol Hill" and "School House Rock."

The phrase "Where's the beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.

You still can't believe that Milli Vanilli was deceiving you all that time

Every now and then, you blurt out: "Ooh noo, Mr. Bill!!!"

You still wear your "Members Only" jacket.

You still have a couple of those barettes made of woven ribbons.

You had snap bracelets

You remember when Pee-Wee wasn't a pervert.

You had had five pairs of socks on at any given time

If you ever used Lee Press-On Nails

If you wear jelly shoes

You still play with that CASIO SK-1 Keyboard

You still argue over who was better: Tiffany or Debbie Gibson

Every time you hear the "OH YEAH..." song you think of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"

You still watch tapes of Stingray, McGyver, and Airwolf
