Do you still remember when something used to be cool and now it’s not?
An afro that spread like a wild forest fire. What about the mullet hairstyle. Cornrows anyone?
You went out, not back to school for the study group, but going to an arcade and playing Pac-Man for 2 hours.
Endless nights turning the sides of the Rubik’s cube, even in bed on a school night. Under the covers you’d be a secret scientist.
Did you wear parachute pants? Were you syked out when you bought a pager and got your first page? You clipped that sucker to your belt, and hell yah that is never coming off.
You cruised the neighborhood in your Gremlin? Or you had the roof off and windows down of your Trans Am blasting the FM rock station with Aerosmith.
Ok, let’s take a peek in that closet of yours. Do you still have bell-bottom pants hanging in there? When you go through your t-shirt drawer, do you still own an assortment of colored izod shirts? When you go out, do you still cuff your pants, as many of us did back in the 1980’s?
Let’s go back in time a bit. Now, weren’t you part of a ‘cultural fad’ at some point, wearing what seemed cool and in fashionable at the time and now seems a bit weird? But the real truth is would we really still wear this now?
How about learning the history of something that used to be cool?
Did you ever wonder when and where the Lava Lamp was invented or what years the Mullet style was in fashion? Did you think about when the Cassette tapes were popular, and then lost interest or it’s market due to the cd?
“It Used To Be Cool” is the place to remember, smile and share ideas on styles, fashion, cars, games, toys and everything that used to be cool, going as far back as the 1970’s … and may be again one day!
If you’re embarrassed about an old style or just want to discuss your likes or dislikes, this unique online community, may be the only one out there where you can share these ideas. Whether you’re interested in a laugh or just learning the history of something.
