Name Something You Grew Up With That Is Gone & Not Coming Back

[SteyrAUG]

90s hip hop before every black dude trying to rap could only cuss or talk about guns they don't know how to shoot or homosexual gang activity (seriously, every gang member has engaged in homosexual activity). Seriously it was a fun time. It was all about parties, fighting Mike Tyson, how parents just don't understand, or settling your differences with breakdance competitions.

As a whole the modern black guy is a grave disappointment.

I literally brohugged a brother rocking jheri curls last week just because of nostalgia and it wasnt near as awkward as you would think.

ETA To this day, I still wear some P R E T T Y faded cook white choco chip camo to pay homage to hip hop from 1988-1992. NWA was to hip hop as Nelson was to hair metal.

There I said it. Come get me, M4C.

As much as it was hilarious to see my LEO friends playing F the Police, I hear ya. I was there mostly in the early stages from 1981 forward and by the mid 90s I was mostly done. with a few noted exceptions you just weren't gonna hear anything like "Five Minutes of Funk", "Friend or Foe" or "A Touch of Jazz" from anyone. I remember when Radio from LL dropped in late 85 and it was an amazing year. It was the only thing that stopped us from playing the King of Rock album over and over.

Americanism, or American pride. 99 Cent gasoline, Lawn Darts, Slip N Slide, cheap toy guns that actually looked like real guns, American manufacturing, TAB, President Ronald Reagan, hair metal, T-tops, velour interiors, kids who enjoyed playing OUTSIDE, staying up all night with your brother playing Super Mario Brothers, Velcro sneakers with zipper pockets on the side, a young Stephanie Seymour, Montgomery Ward, Go Bots.

Buying an AR-15 at Woolworth's or even at sporting good stores in the local mall.

Sears used to have the best sporting goods department around. Guns, tents, Coleman lanterns and stoves, coolers, clothing, etc....

You can drive 55 all day, no one is stopping you. Just get in the right lane.
That was a libtard idea, Ive never done, didnt do it, & wont do it.
And the 'gas shortages" were another libtard lie.

OPEC related gas hikes were real enough though.

Yup, all brought to us by the same retarded-ass peanut-farmer "nuclear engineer" who insisted that we recycle everything BUT nuclear fuel. #F-ckCarterAndAllWhoSupportHim

25cent gas was nice when you were 16 trying to gas up a car and a boat.

You could actually have some fun for $5

Of course I'm old enough to know the answer to that question 'will she need me or feed me' ... I knew the answer was going to be "no".

The price of gas and Jimmy Carter wanting everyone to drive 55 mph on the Dan Ryan express way caused my father to sell his cool Sebring satellite and buy an F'ing AMC Gremlin.
Jimmy, you peanut farming bastard you caused me to lose out of a Sebring Satellite for my first car.
I wished that brain cancer on you because of it.

My buddy had a Satellite growing up. Not the cooler looking 2 door '71-'72, more the 4 door '73-'74 boat, but a Satellite nonetheless. Fun times.
