Being a kid during the '80s, I feel I didn't really get the full experience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a child of the '80s.
The '80s was a wild decade, and I had some fantastic times. And I did some really fun work.
I was 7 years old when the '80s began and 17 years old when they ended, so it was an incredibly formative decade for me.
I can't remember too much about the '80s, to be honest with you... I wish that weren't true, but it is.
I always wondered what it was like to be just a normal kid growing up in trying times or during a great moment in history.
And about in the late '80s, I got kind of burned out a little bit.
The '80s were fabulous. The '90s sucked, and the '70s were just a sad, sad time in human history. Go 1980s! There's something that's just so cute about that time. And not just yellow nail polish and 'I'm a loner.'
When I was growing up, in the '80s and '90s, I just never really saw myself reflected in the things that I had a liking for. It makes a difference.
The movies that I did in the '80s were either good or bad, but I never was oppressed with any feeling - I mean, I thought it was ridiculous to play high school or college students when I was 30. But at the same time, that was really done then.
I'm incredibly nostalgic for the '80s, because I think that's when Geek Culture really kicked in to high gear.
