1989 won't have been 50 years ago.

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

Oh you can fuck right off, Skeletor

The 80’s will to be 50 years from now, too

got-damn that can't be right!

but it did come from skeletor sooo

fuuuck

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.

I know. I was there.

They will be 41 years ago actually.

If the Wedding Singer came out today it would be set in 2012

How dare you!

I just realized that next year is 30 years since the release of the N64. Fuck im old

Reign in blood isn't even 40 yet.

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.

A little bit of it will, but most of it won't.
