Absolutely BRILLIANT!
That was fantastic 
I especially liked :
ETA: And I can't get YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME out of my head!
I especially liked :Because I was!!

Goddamnit! I'm gonna have that stuck in my head for a week!!
Spot on list! I sooo wanted a Hypercolor shirt when I was younger, but the parents said no! 
And I loved Snap bracelets!! It never got old, snapping them on and then straightening them out, and over and over again.
Does anyone remember Pogs? My friends and I would collect those more than Garbage pail kids cards. I still remember my favorite Pog was this black Eight ball...that's embarrassing!

I was doing pretty good at not being a child of the 80's until I got to number 7. DAMN YOU JOEY LAWRENCE!
Shot through the heart and you're to blame darlin'
You give love a bad name
I love this list and especially this because it predicted exactly what i would do.
Of course growing up in Germany was a bit different but having american songs and TV shows levelled it out.

I still have a pound puppy and a popple.
My mother did not let me wear LA Gear because she felt it was of poor quality. I did, however, own a half-dozen Hypercolor shirts.
Mullets were never cool.
Blossom was the 90's.
NKOTB sucked. Hard.
How do you leave off the holy grail of outerwear, Freezy Freakies?

That list set me off again... I miss sat morning cartoons. I remember when parents wouldn't even bother getting up before noon because it was solid cartoons, at least three to five channels filled with them from six am till noon. gods I miss those days.
^ I miss Saturday morning cartoons too. I wonder if they will ever release "Thundarr the Barbarian" and "Muppet Babies" on DVD.
And yes, I owned a Hypercolor T-shirt. Mine was blue! It was awesome.

I remember being in high school and trying to work on a British Lit. presentation at the same time that TNG's first episode was on...
This is really awesome! I especially loved number 31: You thought Barbie and the Rockers was a hot band. I LOVED this doll and had most of them as a child. I also adored Barbie and the Sensations even more so. I was a huge Barbie girl and LOVED the Barbie dolls until I was around 13 or older..:O Did I just say that?! I didn't want to grow up just yet. 
I also personally like number 60: Still singing "We Are the World". That was my most favorite song when I was younger! I remember one night my Dad woke me up @ 3am and it the video was on TV! I had the T-shirt and just loved Cyndi Lauper! I practically looked up to her as a child and it wasn't about her fashion sense..more so her singing voice.
