I’m an 80’s kids. When I say 80’s, my early teens, the time I was slowly realising the world around me was during this era. Every generation has a style, trend, and fad that makes it notoriously known for that period. So if you were like me, who grew up in the 80’s you could probably relate or remember a few of these things:
