Did you have first-hand experience with the decade?

It was as if the decade tried to get as far away from the '60s as possible and they weren't entirely too pleased with the '70s either. Music changed, fashion changed, and world events began to move us into a whole new era altogether. The '80s were almost like society wanted to be in the 21st century but we didn't quite have the technology to do so yet. The mentality was there, however, even if the computers and phones were way too big still.
Perhaps you lived in the eighties and stored up quite a bit of knowledge and first-hand experience on the decade or perhaps you are just someone who was really into new wave music but either way, you might do just fine on this quiz here. If you want to test yourself on knowledge of a decade 30 to 40 years in the past then this quiz is for you.

7/15. Flunked Oh Dear, just couldn’t remember the correct dates for these. Was very busy in 80’s had 2nd son in 1982 and new baby and young school age son life was busy not much time for news or going out. Didn’t take much notice was always on my feet with school, baby clinics, tons washing housework etc etc

You got a perfect score! Wow, you really know what happened during the 1980s down to even the most minuscule pop culture references. You must have been living it up during those years!
7/15 No clue on most, knew some hence 7 points, no good at guessing or remembering dates, and in 80’s very busy raisingfamily, giving birth and lots more so wouldn’t have listened much to news or bothered with TV .

I am old enough to have clear memories of the 1980s.
I got 7 out of 15!
You flunked! Don’t feel too bad, however, it’s not like the ’80s were that important or anything. Maybe you are better suited to a quiz on the ’90s or ’70s.
