The 80s - Millennials Will Never Know.....

[Populist Fury]

The eldest millennials were born in '81, so some of them will remember a chunk of the '80s.

 

I missed out on being a millenial by 2 months :'(((( Nobody even cares about Gen X anymore lol

Quite possibly, an unexplored bias of mine - but I'd rather be the youngest Gen X-er than the oldest Millennial

The 1983 America's Cup: After 132 years, Australia sailed into the history books. It was heart warming stuff.

 

"The victory transcended sailing, becoming the symbol of a time when Australia came of age, and made our mark on the international stage."

The kid in the red jacket is Alfonso Ribeiro...

 

 

Who later in the 80s was on Silver Spoons with Ricky Schroder:

(Is it just me or are they all smiling a little too hard? It looks painful.)

 

 

He became famous in the next decade for another dance:

The 80s got off to a great start with this miracle of moving picture production:

 

 

(That trailer was a throw-back even then.)

 

It's been said (sarcastically) the film career of the male lead, Michael Beck, began with The Warriors (1979) and ended with Xanadu (1980).

 

My favorite take on the film:

“It’s like people say, ‘When you hear Ray Charles play, you can hear the heroin’? When you watch Xanadu, you can see the cocaine up on the screen.”

Gene Kelly (to me) looks so uncomfortable and that Olivia Newton-John gets billing over him is laughable. Let's just say it is the Mama Mia of the 80's.
