The ozone layer was not real.
The satanic stuff was.

Iran hostage situation
Gas shortages and mile long lines at gas stations
Poison Tylenol
Nuclear war fears and bomb drills in school
Dungeons and Dragons would make you lose grip on reality and become a psycho serial killer
Ozzy Osbourne was a devil worshipper
Acid rain
AIDS

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I remember this one except it was on movie theater seats, and not the pay phone.

There was the one where a driver behind you would blink their lights, make you think they were getting your attention to tell you something was wrong with your car, and they’d murder you.

This one may be more from the 90’s but it was the perp waiting under your car and cut the tendon behind your ankle with a razor blade to rob/rape you.

Ozzy Osbourne
The guy from Black Sabbath? Eating blood of bats on stage? With his inverted crosses and candelabra? Demonic appearance? Sacreligious, antichristian themes? Songs about deals with the devil and odes to Aleister Crowley?

It's like Marilyn Manson putting out albums called Antichrist Superstar and cultivating a specific demonic, antireligion image. The odd thing to me is people deny they're into Satanism. They are the ones putting the image out there, they couldn't really be more clear.

I remember in the late 80's into early 90's a variation being "AIDS needles taped to gas pump handles"

Naughty language in our rock music that Tipper Gore warned us about.

Dee Snyder hated that bitch, but at least she didn’t come up with a profanity credits scam like her husband did with “climate change”.

In hindsight, 2 Live Crew wasn’t great music, but it was hilarious.

You should read about any of the satanic abuse cases from the 80s-90s. You have to look at them individually. McMartin, Omaha, Hampstead etc. They all individually turn out to be real. But the whole thing altogether was a panic ;)

Yes, it was a Panic of the 80’s and 90’s that it would never grow back if we didn’t do something…..
However, we sent way more CO2 into the air now and the damn thing regrew itself, just like REAL scientist said it would

Devil worshipers. I definitely remember panic about that. We had a semi rural road near where I grew up that supposedly had them.

Someone spray painted "Welcome to Hell" on the railroad track trestle. In reality it was just some bored teenagers most likely. I spent tons of time back there as a kid and never ran into an animal sacrifice
