If you were born in the 1980s, your youth coincided with evolving technology, distinct pop culture and changing social dynamics. 

For many, childhood and adolescence meant listening to music on Walkmans, watching early TV shows, and experiencing the first waves of modern consumer culture. 

Many recall tight-knit neighbourhoods where children played outside, friendships were local, and life moved at a slower pace compared with today's digital-fast world. 

That balance of simpler times with emerging modern conveniences shaped a generation that values both tradition and progress.
