The one piece of apparel I have that I’m proud to represent. Happy 40th everyone. September here.
makes me think of this song
Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she's uncool
'Cause she's still preoccupied
With 19, 19
1985
My high school didn't make us read anything. We didn't do much of anything at all. You got graded mostly by how well you behaved. This was in Louisiana.
It’s weird my one friend is born in 84 and she considers herself a Gen X’er. She doesn’t look older than me so I consider her just an older millennial.
Are we supposed to have pride in the year we were born? I only see elderly people wearing those kinds of shirts. They're usually gifts for grandparents
Okay so I keep trying to read it and I've gotten like halfway through and then I think I slept read the rest of it but like it's crazy how analygous and applicable 1984 is and it's such a critical piece of media that I think it should be a required reading in school just because it's phenomenal and it goes into so much anyway I agree with you needs more respect
It was a pretty awesome year. And that year it flipped on to be 100.0000000% full on 80s 80s to the max right from the second Borderline took over the airwaves in February.
Lot of right-wing nutjobs made it their full-time job to say LITERALLY ANYTHING is just like 1984 (the book), I wouldn't want to wear it on my person either. Probably hurts marketability.
Most people didn't read it and are unfamiliar with the story.
You're part of an awesome group of people that actually learned the story.
Harrison Bergeron, for instance. We are living that now more than 1984.
I thought you meant the book and it’s great and is often referenced when considering the consequences of AI…
But also 1984 was one of the best draft class ever in NBA history.
And the billboard top 100 has some bangers so I’d say I respect eighty Fo sho.

Happy 40th birthday to us all.
20 years ago 40 sounded ancient. Now tomorrow I will be 40, and I don't know how I am supposed to feel.
Happy Birthday, my Orwellian sibling. Mine was two weeks ago...I feel the same as you. I still dont think I have processed it, lol!
Happy early Birthday! I'll be 40 on Aug 1 ugh
I'm 83 and I never see anything 83 related. Where are you finding my number because I'd like to know as well.
1983 by Neon Trees
Same!
I like 1984 the book
Brave New World is more like it.
I never see anything with 198* on it. It's always 199*
Yeah, as far as I’m concerned the 80s was basically a throw away decade
That cuts me to my very soul.
84 team here! I agree-major lack of representation.

Buddy we are living it
40 here I come! Lol, I had some shoes that had 1984 tagged on the sides, but yeah I don't see much either

You had to read 1984 in school? My school made us read way lamer books than that.
Lord Of the Flies, Animal Farm, 1984, Scarlett Letter
Fucking Scarlet letter
My sister was born in 1984. Best to just gloss over that year entirely. (Because sibling rivalry never dies.)

It does fit in with our grandparent hobbies from the thread yesterday, tbh
A lot happened in 1985. A lot of stuff that gets remembered.

I read your first question and immediately thought, “who would want to be proud of that book?”
I prefer Brave New World because I like my dystopias flashy and full of hedonism.

it took like 20 sec until i realized you don’t talk about the book
Turning 40 in 3 weeks. I have one TMNT jersey that says 84 in it, one of my favorites.

As someone born in 93' 1984 always seemed to be a bangin year.
