During the dark days of the 1980s, there was no shortage of tights-wearin’, hair-teasin’, tongue-wagglin’ lunatics with names like Ratt, Quiet Riot and Snakes ‘N Barrels, all entreating us to feel, work for and/or get various noises, weekends, rocks and video vamps. Music being music, those legendary bands are now only heard on oldies stations (or in Otter Disaster’s Subaru) but I still find myself missing the lost epoch of the Queensrÿches and White Rangers Night Rangers of the world…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) wants a piece of your heart, but just doesn’t have time to start from the start, asking: Which abandoned fashion or trend of days past needs to make a comeback?

Acid Washed Denim Jackets with Iron Maiden Backpatches…
I refuse to accept that those went out of style.
He does, too…
Corduroy anything
Black fingerless gloves, for men and women.
I still use mine. But I’m odd, so…
Although they do have a practical purpose now with my wheelchair, but I still like them.
Preppie shirts with the collars up. NOT.
Tail fins need to come back on cars.
Hooded Cloaks, top hats, goggles, togas, gauntlets, spurs (just cause of the jingling sound not to stab horses), men’s spats, and laurels (or any other fauna based headgear)
I can’t really think of anything style-wise that I really wish would make a comeback that won’t make me sound like a perv aside from flannel shirts and Victorian style suits.
Slap bracelets
Nice Metalocalypse reference
Cavalier boots.
Luckily, the hi-top fade is already making a comeback so I can die a happy man.
