“Unlock Your Nostalgia: 10 Mind-Blowing ’80s Trends That Will Make You Question Your Childhood!”
The Neon Parade
If you didn’t wear neon in the ’80s then you weren’t cool. Just like yoga pants can be worn casually today, it was very normal to see people wearing neon stretch pants as everyday clothes back then. You reached your peak “coolness” when you paired your spandex bike shorts with a bright neon t-shirt.
Of course, bright colors were also a big part of the ’90s. Watch an episode of Saved by the Bell for proof. Neon and spandex, thankfully, did not make the transition to the next decade.
Michael Jackson’s Pepsi Disaster
When he was 25 years old, Michael Jackson had a brush with fate when his hair caught fire while filming a Pepsi commercial. The 1984 incident made national headlines as it was reported the musical superstar suffered second-degree burns. Fans flocked to the hospital in tears.
Jackson was performing “Billie Jean” when, according to his spokesmen, “Something went wrong and it [pyrotechnics] exploded and Michael’s hair caught on fire.” As ’80s children know, Michael Jackson survived the incident and would go on to do many more great and strange things.
Patience For Technology
The evolution of the internet has made information available at the click of a button. Those children born into this technology-fueled world expect and demand information in milliseconds. Those born in the ’80s and who grew up in the ’90s will never forget “dial-up.”
