Ah the 80′s…big hair, fluro colours, musicians who actually sang, politically incorrect cartoons, the rise of video games, countless warm and fuzzy TV shows, movies that were actually original (rather than remakes) oh and a wealth of pointless toys that seemed really cool at the time.
Will there ever be an era quite so rich in iconic pop culture?
Probably not. What did we have in the 90s? Oh that’s right, Kurt Cobain and the arrival of this thing called “the internet” C’est la vie.
