Of course it counts! You'd have grown up in the 80s, so you'd have had loads of 80s toys and TV and music around you. Yay!

Yay! I did. And music was an integral part of my growing up process. There was always some tune playing.

I thank my Mom and Daddy for giving me awesome eclectic tastes in Music and everything else!

I remember Rainbow Brite and my Little Ponies. And Leg Warmers lol

And those big oversized bold printed shirts!

Awww, memories! How I wish I could remember more!

Swiss cheese and all.
