This list is dedicated to all the 20somethings on the internet who thought the '80s were awesome. Take it from one who lived them: they were not.

It's no surprise people have gone to the '80s to meet their nostalgia needs. It's unseemly looking back before the 1960s. When you say, "The '50s were great," folks reply, "They sure were! Which did you prefer: the crippling conformity or the segregation?" The modern pop culture machine chewed up and crapped out the '60s and '70s long ago, leaving 1980-89. Which would be fine, except that decade was dumb. Ten long years of dumb — dumb hair, dumb music and dumb crises. Anyone who celebrates this era clearly has blocked out the part of the 'Rock Me Tonite' video where Billy Squier starts crawling across the floor. Read this list of reasons why the '80s was dumb, and think twice before blogging a list titled "Top 20 Reasons I Love The '80s." Written by Sean Cunningham
