Yes it is very normal, I was born in 1987 and in the 90s as a kid I was already obsessed with the 80s: music and movies, my two older siblings grew up in the 80s as teens so that rubbed off on me and I grew a strong love for the 80s on my own aswell. In my late teens/early 20s I became completely in love with the 80s: The music (all genres, mainstream, one-hit-wonders, obscure stuff too) and movies of course...even fashion and hair (bigger the better ;), To this very day I still love 80s fashion, I've studied the fashions and trends of the 80s very well, from top to bottom.
The 80s was a very carefree time (at least for the youth), it was a dance/music/fashion craze era and a very experimental decade. Things were a lot less complicated than it is today. And yes it had it's bad moments just like any decade, but if you look at the comparisons to other decades, it really stood out from the rest.
I'm so much of a fan of the 80s I can tell a particular year just by looking at a picture/video/movie...the styles/hair all gives it away :P
The 80s and 90s is my eras.
As for the 70s?, definitely not better. A much more simpler time yes, but you had much less variety on fashion choices, the music was good, but not as good and diverse as the 80s. just look at the 80s as a MAJOR upgrade of the 70s lol. and the 90s a upgrade from the 80s, kinda downgrade fashion wise as 90s fashion was a bit bleh and so was a lot of the music but still good.
If you need fashion or hair tips from the 80s, Lemme know!
