Forget the short crops and buzz cuts. Hairstyles in the 80s were big, bold and beautiful. If you’re going to make a statement, those fashionable top knots might suffice, but afro is most definitely the way to go.
2) The Clothes
For such flamboyant outfits, 80s clothes sure packed a great amount of function to go with their eyecatching form. Having license to travel pretty much everywhere in tank tops, yoga pants and headbands meant you were good to hit the gym anytime, anywhere. Talk about bringing accessibility to the active lifestyle!
3) The Shows
They might not have aired in 3D or even Super HD, but what the shows of the 80s lacked in viewing options, they more than made up for with engagement. Without crutches like CGI and digital editing to rely on, our favourite 80s programs had to rely on more old-school staples like plot and well-written dialogue; and a generation of TV viewers adored them for it.
4) The Music
The 80s saw the rise of hip-hop, and introduced us to maestros of the mic in the vein of Run DMC, N.W.A and LL Cool J. Even if that particular type of music wasn’t your cup of tea, the 80s was an era where musical legends like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and David Bowie strutted on-stage in their prime. Who could say no to that?
5) The Quiet
No internet, no social media, no mobile phones. If a day spent away from constant emails, tweets, and Facebook alerts sounds like paradise to you, we’ve got some good news and some bad news: Heaven was a place on earth, but you’re about 30 years too late for entry.
This is The Sex Pistols doing a cover of No Fun originally by Iggy & The Stooges but personally I like this version much better! The song is playing with my collection of Sex Pistols, Johnny, Sid & Nancy pictures. Warning.. Image of the deceased Nancy Spungen at 5min 13sec.

The swastika is a clear example of #appropriation within the punk subculture. According to Hebdige, punks were typically unsympathetic to parties of the extreme right. In fact, punk subculture grew out of an "antithetical response to the reemergence of racism in the mid-70's."

Nancy Spungen’s body, found on October 12th, 1978. Sid Vicious her boyfriend, was charged and accused of second degree murder, he pleaded not guilty and was released on a £50,000 bail. 4 months after the death of Nancy, Vicious committed suicide by taking an overdose of heroin. The case was closed after Sid’s death, and to this day nobody really knows what went on in that hotel bathroom with Nancy and Sid.
”A young woman is dead. I don’t care. You probably don’t care. The police don’t care. The papers don’t care. The punks for the most part don’t care. The only people that care are (I suppose) her parents and (I’m almost certain) the boy who murdered her.”
