A lot of you here are oldies and would have experienced the 80s, which is dubbed the 'decade of dag'.
What daggy things did you get dresses up there in, or involved in? Was it a decade where sex was on tap, or where conservative values still ruled the day?

Sorry Matt but the 80's are known globally as the best decade. Yes the hair and fashion was not the best but the music and movies were. I was still quite young in the early o mid 90's and music fell very flat.

As for "sex on tap" kids are going to do whatever they are reared with as far as ethics and morals go...doesn't really matter when they're born. I was a good girl as far as sex went and very proud of it.

If you type in 'decade of dag' into Google, up comes the 80s and very early 90s.

I never dressed that way, nor did anyone I know.

Oldies!!??
The eighties signaled the death of disco...that in itself makes it a decade to worship!
There was the emergence of great Aussie bands, too many to name but you know who they are!
Then there was punk, new wave, new age, glam rock, hair rock...yes, much of it daggy when we look back, but what will we remember of the 2010's (teens?) when we look back on these times thirty years hence??
Rap? ( still with us? Gawd!)
Ke$ha, Rihanna ( neither of whom I have any idea about except from the incessant press)
Lady Gaga?
Fashion?...where parents dressed like their kids...or is it the other way around??.
I see very little that will set this decade apart from its predecessor, but the eighties was a decade apart.

The music was awesome and the countryside was full of hippy chicks, good drugs and free love. |

Ironically the pork Pie Hats, Way-Fearer Sunglassess, and Fred Perry Shirts, so favored by Rudeboys, is the height of fashion atm <shudder>

I was a skinhead/rudeboy in the 80's A skinhead and a Jew. Normal for that age, going through an identity stage, rebelling. But you haven't moved on from it, you're still a self hating Jew On the other hand I have embraced Judaism, and embraced Jesus who came to save the world. |

I dunno how you think that I am a Self-Hating Jew.
Especially since unlike you, I have never renounced my religion (what little of it)
As far as the skinhead thing goes. The Skinhead Movement (or Rudeboys) started in Jamaica in the early 60's.
I was what is euphemistically known as "S.H.A.R.P" skin. Ie Skin Heads against Racial Prejudice. After the National Front moved in and hijacked the Skin Head Look.
The S.H.A.R.P Skins (or Rudeboys) were also known as Two-Tone Skins, after the Two-Tone Movement, started by bands such as 'The Specials'.
It has nothing to do with rebellion you moron.

By the way, you need to explain just in what way I am a Self-hating Jew ?
This is the third time I have asked you to explain your proclamation on this. You have constantly accused me of being a "self-hating Jew" and have constantly avoided explaining just what you mean by this.
Put up or Shut up, Jesus.
How am I a Self-Hating Jew ?

The music was awesome and the countryside was full of hippy chicks, good drugs and free love.I'd have to agree with you there KTJ, the era 1965 to 1975 would take some beating. In the late 60s there were singles being released by bands every week, tracks and artists that have gone on to become legends. Every week you had something hitting the Top 40 by the Rolling Stones, Cream, Beatles, Bee Gees, Animals, Hendrix, Doors et al. It was an absolute smorgasbord of music perfection. Hippy chicks, good drugs and free love? There was nowhere near the violence and anti-social behaviour there is today. Drugs? Never been interested myself. Hippy chicks.... and free love? I didn't see a lot of that around Newcastle. Where was all that? Maybe Wallsend or Charlestown? I knew I should've gone to Wallsend more often?  |

Agree with Volk and KTJ about the 60s & 70s. The music was crap in the 80s and getting worse every decade since.

The 80's had it all....music and movies....the 60's and 70's had ok music but it tended to be a bit drugged out. The beatles were the only good thing to come out of that era.

Agreed with Jody. The 60s and 70s were rubbish except for Beatles and Abba. Hardly any groups. Limited talent and artists. Its why even today, stations resort to playing 80s music all the time. NO other decade had music worth listening to that is palatable for all ages. Ask any group of people my age who grew up in the 80s to their parents, to even the previous generation, their grandparents. All of them will agree that the 80s had the best music of the modern era. Its not even in contest. Almost every musical expert and commentator says the 80s were the greatest. This is a no brainer. The 80s had; Icehouse, Crowded House, Cold Chisel, Fleetwood Mac, Midnight Oil, Australian Crawl, Air supply, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Billy Ocean, Pseudo Echo, Pink Floyd, Queen etc etc etc. Want me to go on?
Case closed. End of discussion.
