No decade since then has had such a personality as the 80s did. They were truly a magical era of child neglect and poor parenting.

At least there was Atari/Nintendo and home computers already, as primitive as they were. I'd hate to have been born in the 70s and earlier. Sounds boring as fuck for a kid.

I was born in the 70s but I don't really remember much of it, like it didn't have a personality the way the 80s did. Everything was burnt orange and the TV really sucked.

Everything was burnt orange

Now would that be the actual decor, or the nicotine/tar stains, or a bit of both?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A little of both but a lot of it was the shag carpeting.

A famous man named Dennis Hopper once said "The 90's are gonna make the 80's seem like the 50's" and he was right

26ish years and we're back in the 50s
