got-damn that can’t be right!
but it did come from skeletor sooo
fuuuck
How dare you!
The 80’s will to be 50 years from now, too
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.
If the Wedding Singer came out today it would be set in 2012
I hate you 😭
The 80’s is older to us that the 2nd World War was to them.
In 1989, Hitler killed himself 44 years ago.
In 2025, John Lennon was killed 45 years ago.
First of all, how dare you
This makes me feel old, but not as much as realizing I’m less than 10 years from senior discounts
No, in 5 years 1980 will have been 50 years ago, and the '80s will have been 40 years ago.
It will also be in 50 years time.
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.
They will be 41 years ago actually.
I just realized that next year is 30 years since the release of the N64. Fuck im old
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.
A little bit of it will, but most of it won’t.
Oh you can fuck right off, Skeletor
1989 won’t have been 50 years ago.
Neither would the other 8 years prior. What’s your point?
…their point is pretty obvious. You OK?
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.
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.
BC and AD are separate numbering schemes- so just because there is no year 0 defined doesn’t mean you can’t extrapolate - 0 AD is the same as 1 BC, and you’ll have -1 AD which is equivalent to 2 BC and so forth…
Also the 80s is plural so in 1980 there was only one 80, but by 1981 there were two 80s.
“yea I’m an 80s baby”
“when were you born?”
“1990”
UTTERLY DERANGED
To be fair, someone born in 1989 saying they’re an 80s baby would likewise get sideeyed from me.
