I point and snicker in your general direction!
I grew up in the 80s. Obviously a few fads came my way. I will not foolishly admit to any, however.

 Its an amnesty thread, pointing and snickering will not be tolerated

Yeah, the perm was part of the mullet look.
(it was not a good look)

Hey now... I still haven't grown out of that look. 
I do despise the mesh caps (Ashton Kutcher) look. Silly, silly, silly.

Dude, there is not enough amnesty in the world to cover a man perm.

During Flashdance, I cut around the neck of every sweatshirt I had, and I had a bunch. I also was into flicking paint (a la Jackson Pollack) on everything, esp. my Chuck Taylors in hot pink. In college I wore wrestling sneakers. I also had several incidents involving fluorescent hosiery.
Now I'm a square and I don't partake in fads.

Was that a fad?
I wore them a lot, but I spent most of my life on a soccer field while doing so.
