Are You a Child of an 80s?

OK, I rarely post quizzes, but this freaked me out.

I can identify with EVERY SINGLE ONE of the memories from this quiz---

You Are 100% A Child of the 80s

There's hardly a moment of the 80s that you missed out on.

Was there ever a better decade? As if!

I have no need of a quiz to say that I am a die-hard, dyed-in-the-wool 80's child.

Stormknight, just for you I'm reprinting the quiz.

It's less of a quiz than a trip down memory lane.

Each box you check off you it brings you back to your youth

Check all that apply to you or that you agree with.

You used to wear acid washed jeans.

You owned a Rubik's Cube.

You were obsessed with Pacman.

You remember people who had a Betamax VCR.

You watched MTV when it still was mostly music videos.

You remember when people thought you could get AIDS from mosquitos.

You owned an original Nintendo, complete with the Duck Hunt gun.

You watched the Olsen twins on Full House before they were tabloid material.

You loved E.T. and ate Reese's Pieces all the time.

You owned some Garbage Pail Kids cards.

Your mom used to wear shoulder pads.

You thought Thriller was the most awesome song (and video!) ever.

You met up with all your friends to go roller skating.

You saw Ghostbusters in the movie theater.

You remember Madonna when she when she was still pretty trashy.

You remember the "New Coke" - and you either loved it or hated it.

The Cosbys were practically your second family.

You "adopted" one of the Pound Puppies.

Top Gun made you want to be a fighter pilot... or marry one.

You had a mini keyboard and it gave you dreams of being a rock star.

You read "Choose Your Own Adventure" books.

You remember the first cassette tape you bought.

You played the original Trivial Pursuit.

You used to use gel in your hair.

You worried about acid rain.

Child of "an" '80s? What, there were more than one?

I only got 7 of those (3,4,5,6,14,15, 25)... prolly 'cos I was an actual adult in the '80s. I did my roller skating and Garbage Pail Kid collecting in the '70s, thank you. What I chiefly remember about the decade is that everyone was out of work, and everyone thought WW III was going to break out any time and end civilization. And the "average American" was even more shallow and self-absorbed than nowadays.

It was, however, a killer time for underground music. Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Dead Kennedys, Fear, X, Nina Hagen, Einsturzende Neubaten, the Meatmen, the Crucifucks, Minor Threat, MDC, the Misfits, Flipper... saw 'em all back then. Not to mention Mark Pauline's Survival Research Laboratories.

84% a child of the eighties. Yeah, I wasn't allowed to watch most tv and I never really liked Michael Jackson--his shoulder pads scared me. But I do remember Fraggle Rock, the advent of Bubble Tape, those fruit bars that tasted so good but looked so ugly, Cyndi Lauper being the coolest thing I had ever seen (or heard), when so few people had answering machines and NO ONE had cell phones so that it actually made more sense to ride your bike to your friend's house than call (in case she was already outside), those Velcro closure tennis shoes with the pockets in them, that weird period where everybody was buying the white denim clothing with the paint splattered on it, and Jellies being about as ubiquitous as are Crocs now. Yep.
