You grew up on Twisted Sister and Transformers, CareBears and Madonna. Yeah, that's right, you're the kid of an 80s kid. If you can identify with any of these, you're much cooler for it, so thank those gnarly folks who raised you up right.
1. When someone asks you who your favorite boy band is, your first thought is to say Duran Duran.
Your mom probably had a crush on John Taylor. Can you blame her? Now she's passed it on to you.
2. You slay every "decades" themed party.
No, you weren't about being the typical hippie. You raided Mom and Dad's closets and loaded up on baggy sweatshirts, leg warmers, and big hoop earrings. Then, you piled on the hairspray.
3. When you think Halloween, you think "Thriller."
If we're being honest here, it is pretty creepy. Bonus points if you know the dance.
4. You've spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to put your lipstick on like Molly Ringwald in The Breakfast Club.
One of those classic party tricks that you just never seemed to get a handle on.
5. You are all too familiar with big hair and even bigger glasses.
Hours spent looking through high school year books and photo albums really got you acquainted.
6. Everything you know about skipping school, you learned from Ferris Bueller.
But it never worked. Your parents already knew all the tricks.
7. You know the true meaning of MTV.
No, it isn't just myth. They used to show music videos.
8. You have insanely high standards for relationships.
If he's not standing outside your window blasting Peter Gabriel, an officer and a gentleman, or Patrick Swayze, is he really worth it?
9. You can solve a Rubik's Cube like a pro.
Or, maybe you just rearranged the stickers.
10. You always wished you had gone to Bayside High.
Zack and Kelly were perfect, and nothing made you more scared about drugs than the time Jessie took those pills to help her cope with how busy she was and freaked out as a result.
11. You have a favorite Ninja Turtle.
Come on, how can you not adore those reptilian, pizza-loving, crime-fighting dudes? (I'm a Raphael fan, myself).
12.You believe in the life-altering power of the scrunchie.
Whether holding up your side-pony or accessorizing your wrists, scrunchies complete every outfit.
13. You can quote The Princess Bride backward and forward.
You have no fear of the fire swamp, you're constantly on the look out for a six-fingered man, and you know that "death can not stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while." Oh, and you can be swept off your feet with an appropriately placed, "As you wish."
