I’m a firm believer each nominal decade (“the 80s” in this case) starts with the year ending in 1 (1981-1990).

Mathematically it’s correct (there was no year 0), but more to the point look at anything in the popular culture in 1980, doesn’t it look like it’s from the 70s? Video from 1990 doesn’t look “90s”, it looks 80s.

"yea I'm an 80s baby"

"when were you born?"

"1990"

To be fair, someone born in 1989 saying they're an 80s baby would likewise get sideeyed from me.
