80's TAKE OVER!

I first start realizing the change at the beginning of my junior year in high school when I saw a few girls with leggings on under their denim skirts. At first i thought this look was kind of tacky, until I looked at my Glamour magazine and realized that leggings were "in". The article I read was based on 80's fashion and how different designers our incorporating it into their lines of clothing.
One day when I was driving i noticed how different songs were taking beats from 80's songs or from 'back in the day". Today rappers take different lines from differnet artists in the 80's, such as the first rap group from the 80's, RAPPERS DELIGHT. Using different lines or beats from the 80's made their songs more interesting and would attract not only younger viewers but older viewers as well.
Not only did the 80's clothing and music affect today's way of life, but the hairstyles did as well. Walking in the halls of McKinley High School you could see the boys with their names designed into their head or the popular side parts. You could also see the girls with their asymmetrical bobs (thanks to the popular singer Rhianna),and door knocker earrings, such as Bamboo and hearts.
I never thought my parents generation would influence my generation in so many ways. I now question, did the 80's generation have a positive impact on today's generation?
