the 80s were the shining beacon of Americana. So much so that nothing matters from before or after the 80s, unless it is viewed tom an 80s lens, ie. Vietnam (the 60s) only matters in context of Full Metal Jacket (1987), and Where the Buffalo Roam (1980), and the future can forever be contextualized by 80s cultural predictions, such as films like Blade Runner (1982), The Terminator (1984).
