Well, if you are born in that decade you don't really get to experience it.

Man, if someone back then had on clothing of this current day, I wonder if they're be praised or laughed at.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Good point.
Also, why do all of these pictures look like they're from Bannister Mall?
Man, what a dump that place became.
There's something I deeply miss about the 80s aesthetic, and I don't necessarily mean the fashion. I'm sure it's mostly just nostalgia, as I was born in 81. I was there, but I didn't really get to take part in it, I just observed.
(there's probably a lot of spillover from the 70s as far as what I'm thinking of, though).
Yup, by far the worse decade for women's hair styles. Truly hideous stuff.

The noticeable lack of iPhone/iPad wielding youths in those pictures truly made it a better era. The ubiquity of such devices has ruined social interactions in the real world.
Can't go anywhere without bumping into those gaze averting, antisocial iDevice wielding juveniles totally oblivious to their surroundings nowadays.

Why will these photos blow my mind? I lived through that era and there isn't anything mind blowing in these images.

...I don't get it. What's supposed to be blowing my mind? The mall layouts don't look all that strange.
