  1. As the title suggests, they do not represent the 1980s, but only 1980. Wikipedia has the same photos with precise dates. There is more of a sad atmosphere in those photos from the 1970s. Gradually, the way one dresses and does one’s hair will change. At the time, there were a lot of young people around, but looking at those images one sees a mix of old and middle-aged people, which is worse now than at the time.
