New rules regarding political posts - Read This

215 Upvotes

While the rules are being updated, let me give everyone a sneak peek, it will be very simple:

*No NON 80s era political posts or commentary will be allowed, and those who do so are subject to ban.

This is a non-partisan rule.

If you can’t enjoy an 80s nostalgia sub without needing to express your opinion about current politics, then this is NOT the right sub for you.

Anything political from the 80s is fine. Use your best judgment. Songs from the 80s with political themes are fine, etc. (Mods discretion)

This begins as of now.

*If you feel you were banned in error, send a modmail and we will help.

Be excellent to each other!

Film Here’s one of Tom Cruise’s best movies in my opinion. Risky Business was one of my favorite movies back in 1983 and it still is. Saw it again and enjoyed seeing some familiar faces:)

The funny thing here is that I’ve never stopped listening to 80s music. I have gone through many different phases in my life, but one thing that has always remained the same is my love for 80s music

Who had this hairdryer? I did. I think it was a Christmas gift when I was a kid. It mostly sat in a drawer in my bathroom as I didn’t use it a whole lot.

Hard to believe, but the WASP frontman is 70. First album I ever got from them was "WASP: Live in the Raw" and just loved them, same year I started being a headbanger back in 1988

She will always be CPT Lewis and Mrs. Peacock to me. Sucks that she wasn't appreciated enough.

Remember the 900 number. There were a bunch of them in the 80s. Here’s one where you could listen to scary stories on the phone.

Music 1980s "The Classic Aerobic Woman" On Vinyl

Got a nice, very dated, very weird record I ripped today, didn't exist online prior to today. This is side one of an exercise instructional record that has spoken instructions over different classical music pieces. The record also came with a 24 page booklet about women's hair, makeup and dieting advice. A good chunk of the advice is extremely of its time, like telling women to hang a piece of clothing a few sizes too small somewhere where they'll see it and think about it everyday, even though this has since been identified as a driver of unhealthy weight loss.

I hope you enjoy this weird find, side 2 will be out in a few days.

We saw “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, at the movie theater back in 1983. Totally loved it! If you enjoy dark fantasies then this is definitely a good watch…
