Sony "Sports" Walkman

Ech... You kids and yer iPods! In my day we carried around something real... something hefty... something "yellow". The Sports walkmans were pretty awesome for their strength. You could drop one pretty severely and still have it work. And just like white ear buds are the thing now, yellow headphones in 1989 meant that you really you had the "right" walkman. (Mine had mega-bass and auto-reverse--key elements for discriminating walkman users.) It's funny to think of how many cassettes one had to carry around in an accompanying backpack to not be stuck listening to only Master of Puppets the entire day. (Which wasn't really all that bad of a cassette, if you forgot the others.)

Rolled jeans

These were ridiculous. Even more ridiculous was that my jeans weren't long or baggy enough to be rolled properly. But hey, that didn't stop me! As a result I looked like I was wearing flood-pants. Alas, I had no dates in high-school.

OP (Ocean Pacific) neon surf t-shirts

It was the 80s and we lived hours from the ocean; nevertheless, there seemed nothing cooler than an OP tshirt with surf references and the brightest neon colors. The strange part is to see new snowboard gear bringing back those hideous colors today.
