Kids in America

Kids these days are embracing the 80s without even knowing the 80s.

I’m here to tell you that the 80s were all about big eyeglasses, partial perms, and Michael Jackson. Who needs that nonsense?

Don’t even get me started about stirrup pants.

Except the early 80s were kind of cool. I’ll always take Yaz and Roxy Music over Sean Kingston and Soulja Boy.

I worry about a future where the kids don’t know Kim Wilde but know her bangs.

    Oh man, I’ll take echo & the cure (old) and the smiths and joy division. I’ll go older and take the clash, too. Also, the jam.

    Deb, you have no idea how awesome you are!
