Why Shoulder Pads Are the Real Reason We Hate the 80s

It's a little-known fact that shoulder pads were not just a fashion trend, but a form of social control.

Imagine, if you will, a world where you're forced to wear a bulky, shoulder-squashing contraption under your clothes just to look cool. It's like being trapped in a bad sci-fi movie.

But wait, it gets worse! Shoulder pads were also a metaphor for the societal pressures of the 80s:

• The need to conform to an unrealistic beauty standard
• The pressure to be noticed, to stand out, toประก be seen!
• The fear of being a square, of being boring, of being unremarkable

So, if you're feeling nostalgic for the 80s, just remember: it's not the big hair or the synthesizers that we hate, it's the shoulder pads, man.
