Why I Still Love and Miss the ’80s

The 1980s weren’t just a decade—they were a heartbeat. A time when tech had soul, music had meaning, and connections were made face-to-face, not device-to-device. I don’t miss the ’80s because they were perfect. I miss them because they were real. They asked something of us—our time, our patience, our imagination—and in return, they gave us wonder. This is why I still love and miss the ’80s.
