re: Was 1984 the biggest year of the 80's?

Saw some random videos here and there and shocked that no one was fat. What I used to call fat in the 80's would pass for today's average PE coach

Capitalism was all the rage. Even libs wanted to make fat stacks working for corporations back in the day.

Nerds were nerds and not celebrated

Ahhhhhh 1984. I graduated HS, went to Senior trip on the beach, got in my pos Camaro and drove to Boston, NY, Canada etc. with like $750 in my pocket. By September I was fratting hard at LSU with beer trucks on the front yard and absolutely no rules . I probably went to 10 concerts, 10 mlb games all over the east coast, made lifelong friends that I talk to daily/weekly, met my gorgeous college gf, cast my first vote for Ronald Reagan, stayed AIDS-free, cut the cord with my parents- it was glorious.

Can I go back please?

I was 10 years old and life was good

The country was finally shaking off the hangover of the Sixties and Seventies. There was a visceral sense of change in the air.

I think 1986 or 1987 were more 80s.

pretty clear the 80s and 90s were peak America before the fall from within
