@Dreagen1 We would not have worn leg warmers with pumps. Leg warmers were more the physical fitness craze. Olivia Newton John's song and video Physical or falshdance movie with the off the shoulder sweatshirt. They would have worn headbands not a bow in their hair. Flat Jazz Capezio dance shoes were in. People put hard soles on them so you could wear them in the street..With pumps back in the early 80's we wore baby socks or tights. They made the baby socks for adults. The thin socks that fold over with lace on the trim. This is more 1983. I was watching some soul train videos. I remember shirt dresses were big too.
I just watched Purple Rain That was big in 1984. You can see how some people dressed, the hair styles in the audience etc. Prince always had his own look .

Looking up more stuff I could overload you with music videos. My suggestion is to look up each year 1980, 81, 82 etc Billboard top 100 lists. They had different lists for R & B, Pop, Rock, Rap. There are allot of great songs back then that may have not even made the top 100. I grew up in NYC so we had allot of more underground music. Some songs were bigger hits in the UK than USA and visa versa . For example I read somewhere that Culture Club ( Boy George) song " Miss Me Blind" was written for a USA audience . It was # 5 on billboard in 1984
I also forgot in 1983 John Travolta's movie Stayin Alive which is another dance movie
The valley girl movie poster has her wearing leg warmers with pumps... I was just going off of that with my own twist.
