creciendo el estilo de los años 80

Growing up 80’s style was one of the most memorable times in my life. The 80’s era was a time of innovation, excitement, and endless possibilities that created a unique way of life. From music to fashion, the 80’s brought a fresh and innovative perspective that influenced modern culture in numerous ways. For me, the 80’s was a time when things were simpler, and we lived in the moment without being consumed by technology.

As I sit here listening to the iconic 80’s hit “Boys of Summer” by Don Henley on Sirius-XM’s 80’s channel, I can’t help but reminisce about the good old days. The 1980s may have started out with a whisper, but it definitely ended with a bang. This was an era that birthed a lot of iconic things that managed to stay relevant to this day. The ever-popular mixtapes, Pac-Man, Walkman, and the classic movie “The Breakfast Club” are just a few examples of iconic things that emerged from this era.

The 80’s fashion trends were equally inventive, characterized by bright neon colors, leg warmers, shoulder pads, big hairdos, and parachute pants. A decade which also placed a significant emphasis on body fitness, with Jane Fonda’s aerobics, was seen as the route to achieving a sound mind and body.

In conclusion, the 80’s generation brought something unique to the table; a unique style of life that we will never forget. As we take a trip down memory lane, it is clear to see that this era was an epic time that created a generation that was arguably one of the most influential of any past. Let us celebrate and cherish the beautiful memories of growing up 80’s style.… Read More creciendo el estilo de los años 80
