Do You Miss the 80s? Here are 22 Things People Who Were Born Before The ’90s Will Understand

I miss the 80s.

As an ’80s kid, I’m often nostalgic about that era. I sometimes hear myself speaking and I sound like my grandparents when they bragged about how things were better “before.”
To be honest, I sometimes do think things were better before. ? The 80s and the 90s were an amazing time to live in and anyone who disagrees simply wasn’t around yet. ?
But let’s be honest, some things are just so much easier now, right? The internet, cellphones, Netflix, Spotify, iTunes, Shazam…

I created this comic series because some things are better now and some things were better then.
I had a blast making it. It was a little travel back in time and I hope you’ll travel with me!

Here are 22 things people who were born before the 90s and who miss the 80s will totally get ?

Miss the 80s? When you knew your song made it somewhere in the top 40 that week so you had to start at the 40th position with your finger ready to press the record button of your radio cassette player as soon as the song would start so you record THE WHOLE SONG
Miss the 80s? When you had been waiting for months for your favorite artist’s new album to be released, bought it at the store, and listened to EACH AND EVERY song on the album over and over again, before putting the album next to all your favorite artist’s other albums in your collection
Miss the 80s? When you had to look through an actual encyclopedia?
Miss the 80s? When you just walked 20 minutes to the video store to rent that new movie that just came out but it’s unavailable because someone has already rented it. For the fifth Saturday in a row.
Miss the 80s? When you had to wait before knowing if your pictures were ok, because you had to wait for days to get your photos developed?
Miss the 80s? When the smoking area and the non-smoking area were actually in the same area?
