Gosh, the early 80’s looked like late 70’s, I was born 1983 😃

[@fijiarc2090]

Well, the late 70s and early 80s are very close in terms of years anyway?

[@leonardssenkindu8445]

@@fijiarc2090 they were, I’ve notice with every decade when it’s nearly the end of the decade, music and fashion will be carried over to the new decade in the early part of the decade, for example, the late 60’s music and fashion still carried on till the early 70’s, the late 80’s I remember very well, I was abit older, again the late 80’s sound of music and fashion carried on to the early until the end of the early 90’s, but I think the late year of 1991, it started to change, the late 80’s sound of music we’re disappearing, fashion of blue jeans and leather jacket came in the mid 80’s, I call it the “James Dean . look fashion”, I like that fashion since the mid 80’s when I was small again that fashion were kind of fading and then it started to look like early 90’s new fashion came, which sh*t and I hated the early 90’s, I miss the 80’s, 😢, but the year I was born in 1983, it started to look like proper early 80’s

[@davidbull7210]

That East London line train footage must be in the 85-87 period as the D stock trains were used on the line then.

[@davidbull7210]

The final section is from 1990 as you can spot the poster about the ELL turning orange on the map.
