    Born in '72, I pretty much said yes to everything on this list. The '80s were goofy, but they rocked!

    Oh, my god, a 76'er here. Yeah, I was a child of the 80's. I miss some aspects of the 80's. I still watch SHe-Ra and Transformers. I am a guy, I don't really have to grow up, so back off. I love you all!!
