Things We Did In The ’80s That Aren’t Socially Acceptable Today

August 28, 2022 By the80sruled Leave a Comment


Recently, we featured a list of ten things that only kids from the ’80s would remember, but today, we’re looking at things we all did in the ’80s that would either get you arrested today or are certainly frowned upon by today’s standards. I mean, if a kid leaves his house on his bike at 7 in the morning on a Saturday in the ’80s, we knew he was just going out to play with his friends and would certainly be back before dinner. Nowadays, that same kid would be plastered all over social media by 9am as missing and all hell would break loose trying to find him. That’s just one example of so many featured below.

Enjoy this look back at all the things we did in the ’80s that aren’t socially acceptable any more!
