What do you miss the most about the 80's?

Or what do you miss about being in your 20's?

I miss dressing real cool and going to a club. And maybe meeting someone.

What I miss about the 80's is the 80's. I somehow missed that boat and currently wish I'd paid more attention to the music and pop-culture and having fun rather than allowing myself to be affected as much as I was by a long bout of a minor level of depres

I miss the feeling of fun and adventure of the 80s. I had fun going to clubs with my friends, concerts, dressing cool(it is a lot harder to dress cool in my 30s). It seemed like the 80s were a very optimistic decade, and the 90s were a lot more somber.
