I wasn't alive in that decade, so I have no emotional attachment to it. OK I like several 80s movies, shows, games, etc; but if you haven't actually experienced the decade you don't know what it was like. I think a lot of people of my age and younger romantise more the idea of the 80s they see on the media and not the actual decade itself... since they haven't lived through it.
I'd not looked at it like that, changing your childhood view on the decade. I'd still go there, sometimes I've wondered what being a teen/youth was like then, sometimes when I've seen movies, so I'm adding something to mine, I am going to be in the US too.
