Looking Back - 1989: Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation

I can not tell y'all how Rhythm Nation owned my life in 1989-1990. I went to the concert, I spent my entire Social Security check of RN 1814 pins, buttons, posters and hats. My fashion was influenced by Janet and her dancers. And I think I became a social justice advocate after buying the CD.

Rhythm Nation was the SH#T! And there hasn't been anything like it (not even Gaga can touch it) in years!

With that said, I wanted to share some of the RN videos I watched over and over; trying to copy the dance moves and styles for school. So come with me on a journey to 1989.

The Knowledge - I love, love, love this song and video. I bought black Guess jeans because of this


Miss You Much - I had vest that I decorated like Janet's


Rhythm Nation - After months of watching this video, I finally learned the routine


Come Back to Me - I always loved this song, especially when I was crushing hard on a guy named JimBob.
