A good, hand pressed 98 cent hamburger, like in the old days when they threw a ball of ground beef on the grill, flattened it out and you had a great burger!!!
Beef that does not require one to take out a loan to buy and tastes good when you cook it. Walmart beef is cheap, but tastes cheap when cooked. It used to be that a steak cost 98 cents a pound and when you cooked it up, it tasted so good as to almost make you cry! Post roast was delicious!!!
Fresh fish that doesn’t cost half the national debt to buy and has not been bleach washed to ‘freshen’ it up.

-Skinny pants!
-Big, or at least interesting hair!!
-“Please,” “Thank you,” “Sir,” “Ma’am,” and gentlemen holding doors for ladies
-PDA (public display of affection) considered tacky. Thank you, no, I don’t want to see your hand shoved down his/her pants
-Cars you can work on yourself, definitely…especially great big gas guzzling cars with interesting body styles and cool colors, that make satisfying vrooooooooms.
old people who never complained about the way kids dressed/took care of themselves…wait nevermind, thats a trend i’d like to see develop for the first time EVER…to each his own, yes? no, im not some “punk kid” complaining about the world when i dont know what real pain is, im just saying, lay off. dont complain about baggy clothes and body peircings…its just weed smoking/bra burning/rock and roll listening rebellion, updated to the current day and age.
o, and while on the topic of rock and roll, more bands like led zeppelin, pink floyd, the who, the rolling stones, and bands that were actually good.
Hey man, breakdancing is definitely back again. Some would argue that it never left (not me!), but it definitely has a strong presence. I was just at the DEMF (Detroit Electronic Music Festival) and there were plenty of circles with guys breakdancing in the middle. I’d try and support the cause myself, but last time I tried to spin on my head… well, I don’t reallly remember what happened. But I think it was ugly.
Oh, yeah, and I’d bring back safe hitch hiking (and safe picking up of hitch hikers).
SSSSSSSSexy hair on chicks and no more stupid ‘sugar bowl’ haircuts for boys. (Shaved clean in a circle to just above their ears with a Moe Howard (of the three stooges) mop top). Bring back the good old fashioned normal haircut for boys!
The normal Black persons haircut before dread locks. Just nice short cut, curly hair, no plowed fields, no stupid looking squares, designs or names cut into the mess and no DREAD LOCKS! Hair like in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Fara Fawcett hairstyles for chicks. (The 70s Fara.)
-Cheese-flavored dog food
-Poodle skirts, bobby sox
-James Dean/Sal Mineo movies
-Hudson and Kaiser automobiles

Aw, I guess the 50’s are NEVER coming back!!
(Dueling really never was legal, at least in most European countries.)
