Who gets to be an 80s kid?

[Aprinceinapaupersgrave]

Or any decade really.
I was born in the mid 70s but don't feel any nostalgia for that decade even though I do have memories from then.
I was age 5-15 in the 80s and feel that I am truly an 80s kid. I have so much love for the music, the fads, the TV, the 'fashion' 😆
So when someone born in say, 1986 describes themselves as a child of the 80s I think they can't be. The things they really liked and got involved in would be from the 90s.
So, do I have a point or is my midlife crisis worse than I thought?! How much of a decade do you think you ought to have experienced before you can claim it as your own? I think at least 7 or 8 years.
And yes, I'm aware that no one 'owns' a decade. This is sort of light-hearted.

Born in 84 and definitely a child of the 90s. Was a great time to own, great music, more than 4 channels on the TV, end of encarta cdroms for research and the beginning of the Internet.

DEpends - if you are talking about shared memories of toys or TV programmes, then it is likely to be from the decade you were aged about 8 - 15

If you are talking about music and fashion, it's more likely to be from when you were around 16 - 26 ish.

So I was born mid 60s, but the music I need at parties is all from the 80s.
