Howard... you were like 5 in 1985 can you seriously tell me you remember what it was like back then........
Whoa, wait, seriously? I thought I was arguing with someone who might actually have a clue who just had different experiences or something. That really makes this whole tangent even more pointless.

Keep in mind people, that the design schemes that were used in COMMERCIAL locations were not necessarily the same thing that people used to decorate their homes...

It's not the 80s without a poster of Miss Elizabeth.

Here's a very 80's look that's still "classy". (Splatter paint on the other hand is ... mmm ... more juvenile).

NO MORE!!

I also recall the industrial look coming into fashion in late 80's, maybe it was the early nineties.  I remember all the clubs having exposed pipe and ducting and so on.
Please!  Give me the good news first!

Pointless tangents are what arguing with Howard is all about.

In the 80's neon was EVERYWHERE. My bedroom when I was a teenager had splatterpainted walls, I painted them in 1984. Some of us actually remember the '80s.

That wasn't paint.  1984 was the year you got that Cheryl Tiegs poster.
