the 80's

The 1980’s started off with a bang in the form of both natural and man-made disasters – including the eruption of Mount St. Helens and the assassination of John Lennon. Ronald Reagan is elected towards the end of the year, the beginning of his almost decade-long reign as the leader of the free world. The 80s were all about technology and crazy bright colors. People were rocking out in clubs and blasting rock music.
