Here's a generationology post on Strauss/Howe's forum from 2002. This guy born in 1978 gatekeeps people born in 1982 because "they can only remember the shitty 1985+ era which has more in common with today" while he can remember more of "the fun grassroots leftover 70s vibe" of 1983-1984.

The only thing I like about the 80’s is the music and some movies, otherwise I personally hate everything about them lol. They seem like they were an overrated decade from my perspective. Besides the overly “Murcia” like politics, I hate the cheesiness of the 80’s and I think the fashion was the worst decade for fashion ever. The 90’s appeals to me way more, even though I didn’t experience them lol. I love 90’s music, fashion, ( a look in particular I love is flannel, overly sized striped shirts with fresh prince shoes I always see in 90’s movies lol ) a lot of my favorite movies ever were 90’s movies. The 90’s heartthrobs lol, I prefer the 00’s & 2010’s to the 80’s as well.
