There were only a few television channels, and the news didn't need to fill up dead space with horror stories. If you were a kid, you basically had endless freedom to walk wherever you liked.
Parents couldn't call you. They were okay with not knowing exactly where you were.
Sometimes you went to the arcade to play the real videogames, as home systems only offered pale reflections. Sometimes you trespassed in places you shouldn't go, and broke a few bones for fun.
This was seen as normal.
The music was great, if you liked the style, the great debate was rock vs. country.
Everything that could, abused colors. The goal seemed to be "Circus goes to the jungle".
Saturday mornings were a small holiday. You could watch cartoons. Some cartoons were horrible action adventures about people shooting each other and missing, some were awesome action adventures about people shooting each other to death, and monsters eating one another. It was as if Michael Bay directed every single one.
You could wear a mullet, name yourself Butch, and still be the coolest kid in school. Irony was incredibly rare. Many Americans could still take pro wrestling plots seriously.
Star Wars had a serious cultural impact. Michael Jackson was still black. Politicians settled many of their differences behind the scenes, and worked together with secret handshakes. They even increased taxes. We hated that. We wanted them to become what they are today...

I remember spending Friday evenings going through that day's newspaper for the weekend TV guide section, and using a freaking highlighter to PLAN OUT all the shows I would watch the following morning. And Fridays were pizza night, so I would have cold pizza for breakfast while watching my toons, usually for a few hours before my parents would get up. Easily one of the best parts of my childhood.
