Pop Culture

l always remain a classic. People stopped watching Sonny and Cher and Happy Days and started watching different things. The times, they were a changing.

In the 80’s things completely changed. Everyone began wearing oversized sweaters, tight rolling their jeans and pulling their socks up over their pants. Girls began teasing their hair and making it go as high as possible. Everyone was obsessed with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” although, I was personally scared of it, and doing the moonwalk. Heavy metal music also hit its popularity high, as well as new rap sensations like the Beastie Boys and Vanilla Ice. Teen-age girls began going crazy over the new group New Kids On The Block. There was no more Charlie’s Angels or Brady Bunch, there were new shows like Family Ties and The Facts of Life. There were also new movies like Back to the Future and The Breakfast Club. Out of these movies came the new big stars of the decade, like Michael J. Fox, Molly Ringwald, and Anthony Michael Hall. All of these things seemed cool at the time, but not these days. No one would be caught dead wearing tight rolled jeans or teasing their hair up really high. All of these things are all part of the pop culture of the eighties and are now just trends people use to dress up for Halloween. And as expected, what was popular in the eighties changes again in the nineties.
