Neither would the other 8 years prior. What’s your point?

As long as they’re as radical the second time around, I’m game.

I was born in the late 80s and they had so much fun that we could smell it throughout the 90s. Maybe even into the early 00s.

I’m a firm believer each nominal decade (“the 80s” in this case) starts with the year ending in 1 (1981-1990).
Mathematically it’s correct (there was no year 0), but more to the point look at anything in the popular culture in 1980, doesn’t it look like it’s from the 70s? Video from 1990 doesn’t look “90s”, it looks 80s.

“yea I’m an 80s baby”
“when we’re you born?”
“1990”

To be fair, someone born in 1989 saying they’re an 80s baby would likewise get sideeyed from me.

there was no year 0
Just because no one said it was there, doesn’t mean it wasn’t.
It’s like vaccines and autism and other things RFK doesnt believe in. They still exist!

Dionysius did not use a year zero; the year preceding AD 1 was 1 BC.
- “The Oxford Companion to the Year” by Blackburn & Holford-Strevens
There was not a year zero. This isn’t a conspiracy theory.

Also the 80s is plural so in 1980 there was only one 80, but by 1981 there were two 80s.

The 80’s is older to us that the 2nd World War was to them.
In 1989, Hitler had died 44 years ago.
In 2025, John Lennon has died 45 years ago.

This makes me feel old, but not as much as realizing I’m less than 10 years from senior discounts

…and in the '80s they taught us
- ’80s is an abbreviation
- 80’s is a failure and they kept failures back a year to learn it again
Good times.

The 80’s are weird, dude. It’s like the 70’s never were a thing and feels like if it were like a proto version of the 90’s.

No, in 5 years 1980 will have been 50 years ago, and the '80s will have been 40 years ago.

I like that justification

I was going to say! I was born in the 80s and I’m only 41. If I turned 50 in 5 years I would be very upset!

It will also be in 50 years time.
