  • Break Dancing was all the rage
  • Women wore "big" hair styles and heavier make-up
  • Costume jewelry was more popular
  • The economy was in much better shape
  • School shootings were not common
  • People were just learning about HIV and AIDS
  • Banks charged a higher interest rate on loans (12 - 15%)
  • Banks paid a higher interest rate on savings accounts (7 - 8%)
  • There were no cell phones, ipads, etc., so there was also no texting or instant messages
  • There were no Kindles, so people read from real books
  • Few places even had caller ID, so they had to just answer the phone if they wanted to know who was calling
