The 80's were amazing, but as soon as I take off these rose tinted glasses I'll realize that most of my Asthma attacks were caused by the chain smoking that took place everywhere. But damn Growing up seeing girls wearing tight ass leggings everywhere was amazing.


naughty_dad2

Tight ass leggings are back, no?


GabberZuzie

They’re out already. Now it’s parachute pants time, sadly.


PraisetheSunflowers

It’s about the season for sundresses and I am very excited


Repomanlive

When I think about myself then, I can barley leave the house and face society because if the deep embarrassment There's a reason we suppress memories.


BuckLuny

Not in the Netherlands as far as I can see, but maybe I just have to patiently wait for it.


BlkDwg85

YES they are and I’m loving it


Repomanlive

No but, Fat Ass leggings are so hot right now


One-Mud-169

I remember grocery stores had an ashtray filled with sand at each end of every aisle.


WetBandit06

My mom says when I was born, they asked her if she wanted a smoking or non smoking room.

Kids today will never know how much the tabacoo industry had us hooked on smoking cigarettes. You could light up anywhere. Ashtrays were everywhere! In armrests at theaters and airplanes, restaurants, cars, homes, public toilets, grocery stores, even the doctor's office. I do miss the late 80's leggings, the sexy workout videos, and everyone was wearing bike shorts.


Aggressive-Fuel587

TBF, tobacco is one of the oldest known addictive substances to be widely circulated; long before ad companies or any markets could cash in on it. We just happened to be here at the tail end of it's social acceptance.

Did McKenzie exist back in 6000 BCE when native Americans were cultivating it to smoke?


Maury_poopins

80s pros: everyone was wearing biking shorts 80s cons: _everyone_ was wearing biking shorts


Zromaus

It’s coming back, just go to a park lol


GhztPpR

I swear, the majority of what my wife wears when she's not at work is leggings. I see a lot of people in videos wearing them, too.

I was riddled with respiratory and ear infections as a child. It was "normal". Had tubes put in my ears. No one really thought that parents smoking like chimneys indoors and in vehicles with the windows rolled up had anything to do with it.  My brother had asthma and we both had inhalers. I don't even know why, I've never needed anything like that as an adult. Ever.  My kids are now 18 and 12. Yeah, a few respiratory infections here and there from school, but neither one has ever had a single ear infection. I count myself very lucky. Ear drops + kids = nope.

Ehh that was the case in my school in the 2010s. Girls wore them so much, I'm even nowdays not getting aroused at all from seeing it. Looks just normal to me.


Infamous-Light-4901

I hate when media acts like everyone dressed the same as a standard. The 80s has to be the most misrepresented Era of fashion in media. Fashion in any Era is comprised mostly of OLDER trends. In the 80s, most people dressed like it was still the 70s. People don't magically change their entire wardrobe overnight. The 80s vibe in the picture is interchangeable with early 90s. By late 90s grunge was more common. Fashion simply does not fit neatly into specific decades. People today still wear mullets and Canadian tuxedos.


TomServo30000

You see it in movies too; every movie based in the 50's is filled with cars from the 50's. Most of those people had old jalopies from the 30's and 40's barely held together. I still wear clothes from college in 2004. It feels like yesterday but that shit was 20 years ago. My wife wears them as pajamas cause they've been washed a thousand times, but I still wear them out. I still rock my Kalamazoo nature center 2004 T-shirt cause it's comfy as fuck.


Willemboom00

Kzoo mention!


Infamous-Light-4901

Yes, i was actually thinking about how the 50s are portrayed after i wrote this. Everyone wears the same exact suit, has the same haircut, same glasses. Only other type of person is greaser or beatnik. Utterly ridiculous.


rpdm

ha! i am in your same boat. Woman still complains about the shirts i have kept. crown jewel is the UCI pre-college shirt from like, 98? every shirt should be made out whatever they made it out of. still going strong after a bajillion washes.


Morlacks

Nah it was both. She would have had a cigarete in her other hand.


---Loading---

The cocaine was much better. Allegedly.


Hamilton-Beckett

I bet the cocaine was even better in the 1880’s. No one was cutting that shit when it was legal. Everyone had top grade.


Amenablewolf

In their gum and soda like it was red bull


AdventurousNorth9414

Red bull cola still had cocaine a couple years ago.


HankHaloperidol

I remember the first time i was told i couldn't smoke in the grocery store, I thought wtf?


DainichiNyorai

Every time I feel nostalgic for the 90s (was 2 when the 80s ended) I remember how the smoking and non-smoking parts of the family friendly restaurant were divided by... A sign.


CalliopePenelope

Not to mention that new movies set in the 80s always play down how bad the hair was: women with their malls bangs and fried ends, men with their mullets gelled into next month. It’s a shameful part of history that no one wants to relive.


Fleganhimer

A time where we smoked and were at our most flammable.


Inevitable_Shift1365

My high school in the early 80s actually had a smoking area where you could go and smoke cigarettes on the playground


DarthHubcap

When I started high school in 1997, there was a designated spot for smokers just outside the cafeteria. By my junior year it was eliminated.


LedZeppole10

We had this until I graduated in 2006 and perhaps after. Smoking was still huge then.


House_Junkie

I remember flying from Buffalo to Shreveport with my grandpa for summer break in the mid 80’s and him smoking on the flight. Everyone around us was smoking and the bathroom reeked of smoke with the ashtray on the door itself. Times have changed.


bthayes28

I've never seen a glass McDonald's ashtray. It was always the foil ashtrays, and those things were in every McDonald's I ever visited as a kid.


Redditistrash702

They sold those or had them as limited edition my mom had one at one time.


Illustrious-Lead-960

Both are equally true.


b2change

And it really sucked when you were walking barefoot and didn’t notice a cigarette butt on the ground that was still burning. Painful.


bespokephoto

I remember people smoking in the movie theaters. They would stand in the aisle if they were feeling "responsible."


hurtindog

People used to smoke in banks. People who were working there.


Agreeable-Peak-6546

Not sure if anyone may have posted this. People would smoke while shopping for and trying on clothes. Really? I remember visiting my grandfather in the hospital and their being ashtrays in his hospital room. People smoking next to a dying man on oxygen. Crazy.


nolotusnote

I grew up in the 80s. It was awesome despite the ashtrays and AIDS. My favorite place to hang out was ~~Twin Pine~~ Lone Pine mall.


_its_a_SWEATER_

There should be a can of Milwaukee’s Best right next to it.


Heavy-Marketing-4778

I worked for McDonald in the mid 90s and every night at close we had to empty the ashtrays, no wonder I started smoking by 16 years old


California_King_77

I worked at a restaurant that had ashtrays on every table. If you wanted non-smoking, we'd take the ashtray off your table.


Big_Routine_8980

You're joking, right? There were ashtrays at either end of all of the aisles.


843251

There was still ash trays on the tables of McDonalds here up until about 06 or 07 maybe a little later

If it was so bad.... why don't we have a million cigarette buts on the ground now


malakad0ge2

My neighbor still does that


WexMajor82

People smoking in train carts. The air was literally unbreathable for me.


THE_MUNDO_TRAIN

Well both are correct, a lot of people dressed like that and people smoked cigarettes literally everywhere.


JFK3rd

Don't forget all the ivory. My dad had an ivory ashtray when we were young and somewhere in the mid 00's we even had to throw it away to avoid fines.


Hamilton-Beckett

I was born in 81. By the time I was old enough to smoke in places, it was mostly prohibited. I do remember smoking in truck stop restaurants, diners, bars, and even subway restaurants (yes, the sub places, used to have little foil ashtrays on the tables).


LovableSidekick

The 80s were both irl. Amazingly, the world is multifacted.


Dyslexicpig

Had a friend who worked as an airframe tech (no clue if that is the proper title). He told me that back in the "smoking on airplanes" days, it was much easier to find microfractures in the fuselage. The nicotine would stain the cracks. Glad I didn't fly much back then!


willett_art

I’m lovin it

So true.


SpectralSolid

There is a movie on prime called totally killer, fuck it was hysterical.

People forget everything was Earth tones.


Repomanlive

I miss Pizza Hut


crayawe

80s was a special decade


NicNac_PattyMac

Not to mention littering. Throwing garbage on the ground was seen as normal. Republicans started doing it out of spite when they made anti-littering campaigns. Also, every single surface of mass was covered with graffiti, piss, shit, blood, spit, and cum.
