Me: They really understood the right way to use smoke machines in the 80s.

Christine: Pretty sure this is the 90s.

Me: The 90s was when the 80s were perfected.

@mcc they really knew how to use cardboard in the 50s, but that newfangled color TV ruined everything

@mcc to support your argument, "violator" by depeche mode is a quintessential 80s album that came out in 1990

@mcc this is true of every decade actually, I find the mid/end of each decade and the beginning of the best one tend to have more in common with each other than the actual full decades

[dave_cochran@infosec.exchange]

@mcc the 80s ended in late '93/early '94, just like how the 90s ended in late '03/early '04.

I don't make the rules.

@mcc Peak '80s design occurred circa 1990--1992.

@dave_cochran @mcc oh, so I was a 90s kid? That would explain me having most of the experiences I saw in the 90s kid memes

@dave_cochran @mcc I’ve always thought decades’ vibes weren’t locked in until mid point.

@mcc Related - most of the 60s actually happened in the 70s.
