Man I miss the 80s.

I know everyone gets nostalgic for whatever era they grew up in, but the 80s had that mix of exciting new technology, good music, a thriving youth culture, impending nuclear doom (well that bit not so much fun really), community spirit (your town or place you came from was important, it was your tribe, something that's died off now), optimism for the future and a sort of innocence that feels crazy now.

Its a shame gen z won't and haven't experienced it.

Late 80s to 00s were great time seeing things change but still appreciatingnthe outdoors and human interaction

Yes, I'd start in about 1984, and awful lot of good things came out that year. After about 2003 or so, everything started to fall apart, the last 5 years have just accelerated that :(

Yep was just thinking how good it was to listen to music on a Sony Walkman with tapes

Yeah, it was great at the time. Even just radio and headphones as there were so many good radio stations.
