In the 1980s, the shoulder pad was the epitome of style. A staple in every fashionista's wardrobe, these bulky, padded shoulders added a touch of sophistication to any outfit.
But why did we love the shoulder pad so much? Was it because they added extra room for our cassette tapes, or because they doubled as a makeshift shoulder-mounted phone holder?
Or maybe, just maybe, it was because they gave us a sense of security, like a protective barrier against the harsh realities of the Cold War?
We'll never know for sure, but one thing's for certain: the shoulder pad will always be remembered as the true hero of 80s fashion.
And that's the truth. Don't @ us.
Or should we say, don't @ us, because, you know, the shoulder pads are the real MVP?
