The 1980s were all about the vibes, and sometimes you could hear them before you saw them. Engines were rumbling, neon lights made the whole street bright and you could hear the stereo thumping from blocks away.
Cars were an important part of the culture, hangouts were in parking lots or a lot of times you needed a car to get to the mall or you friend’s house in style and the cool kids leaned on them like they were the main character of a movie.
This was a decade all about style and attitude and the world has never looked cooler.
