Yours was a decade defined by glam rock, big hair, and even bigger shoulder pads. Your school days were soundtracked through a Walkman by Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson, or Madonna, while box office favourites like ET and Back to the Future graced your family’s VHS collection. Neon colors, cassette players, and rewinding your favourite mixtapes set the tone — and global moments like Live Aid showed the power of music to unite millions for a common cause. As the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, symbolizing new global openness, and the home computing revolution accelerated with machines like the IBM Personal Computer, the world felt like it was opening up just as your own futures were beginning.
