Hey! I was gonna say ME! :P…..... I think the cartoons of the 80’s were pretty awesome:) Like remember when the Disney Channel was ALL cartoons, no commercials and definitely not the shows they have on there today. Same with Nickelodeon.

Oh, and The Simpsons.

Yeah, the music definitely, especially from the UK. Even the glam metal, because the whole Seattle sound in the 90s was a reaction to it.
