Yeah that’s how my students feel about the 80s.
@futurebird Are scrunchies back?
I never understood why the ladies stopped doing scrunchies.

@futurebird the 80's were doing some fun stuff with gender, and they had more bright colors than what's mainstream right now, so I think it's probably good for them.
I look at the loose clothing and we could use that too!

@futurebird There’s hope. My 16-yo just discovered poodle skirts existed… might skip the parachute pants and other 80s dreck.

@futurebird I never could understand the appeal of Grease

@pencilears @futurebird In the 80s noone asked or discussed gender. Noone cares. I could be just another weird guy among others.

the attractive low pixel count of original music videos! Like being into vinyl records

@Raffzahn @futurebird 80's era Germany had some of the most cutting edge gender-fuck fashion on the planet.
Doesn't surprise me that anyone who was just minding their own business didn't have to worry about it.

I have to admit I don't get the 80s nostalgia, and I was a kid back then.
Like Magic the Gathering is doing a Ninja Turtles edition, and ... why? Or He-Man becoming a thing again.
I don't get the rationale behind it? Does this really increase market share?

@futurebird same as it ever was. Nostalgia will always be offputting to the people who didn't live through it

@clew @pencilears @futurebird Spandex had also just hit, so there was loose, tight, and combinations, something for everyone.
