    The eighties didn’t look like the eighties for most of us. The eighties looked more like the seventies.

      People don’t realize that it took a little bit of more time for certain decades to truly start before we knew them as they were. They all didn’t go like “it’s 1980, so lets break out the synths right now!”. But actually, the 80s didn’t seem to really start until something like 1982. Same with the 90s and so on. It takes cultural change some time to get moving.

      Most people wore sweatshirts and cone shapes jeans. So no, no seventies clothing. I got laughed at for wearing a shirt that was distinctly seventies.
