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!
Hell yeah ‘83 vintage. Best year.
It will also be in 50 years time.
Oh you can fuck right off, Skeletor
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.
Also the 80s is plural so in 1980 there was only one 80, but by 1981 there were two 80s.
If the Wedding Singer came out today it would be set in 2012
I hate you 😭
First of all, how dare you
I know. I was there.
They will be 41 years ago actually.
Reign in blood isn't even 40 yet.
How dare you!
This makes me feel old, but not as much as realizing I’m less than 10 years from senior discounts
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.
