I was worse vonnegut, I only got 40 Blush and I was twelve in 1980 so should have done much better.

Great quiz though thanks for posting Grin

youngestisapsycho · 09/04/2019 22:30

I got 44, lots of guesses... I was only 5 in 1980

newyeardelurker · 09/04/2019 22:51

40 - I was 9 in 1980. Good fun thank you Smile

Boohooyouho · 09/04/2019 23:03

I got 41. Not too bad considering I was only 9 when the 80s ended

  1. I was born in 1978.

Only bloody 62!

I was born in 84, but I do a lot of quizzing...

brodybear · 10/04/2019 00:35

It was tricky. I always thought my 80's knowledge was quite good. To be fair there are some hard hard questions in there, one about what kind of flowers were they going to use instead! I mean how would anyone know that.

DramaAlpaca · 10/04/2019 00:48

I only got 35. As I was 16 in 1980 I have no excuse at all for such a rubbish score Blush

ThanosSavedMe · 10/04/2019 00:56

I’m an eighties kid, well I thought I was. 43, terrible! Loved it though 😄

Gingernaut · 10/04/2019 00:57

42/80

BlueSaphire · 10/04/2019 01:12

Good, but some room for improvement

Your score:

40/80

That was hard.

nancy75 · 10/04/2019 01:16

67, I was 5 in 1980 but I’m quite good at music quizzes (not other stuff!)

NaughtToThreeSadOnions · 10/04/2019 01:36

39 - i only rememver the later 80's as i was born late 1980

BitOfFun · 10/04/2019 02:07

I did better that I'd expected, although some were educated guesses (born 1973). 67!

A very Londoners quiz I'd think? Definitely need to be British.

eeela · 10/04/2019 03:05

I got 30 and I was born in 1995!

Wincarnis · 10/04/2019 03:29
  1. I hated the 80s.

HoraceCope · 10/04/2019 07:00

36, I was 14 in 1980, a lot of guesses, wild guesses.

dotcotan · 10/04/2019 07:03

I was an adult in the 80s but I got bored when I kept getting things wrong so I quit halfway through. Plus, the Rubik cube was massively popular in the 70s, every kid i knew had one but the quiz said it didn't take off till the 80s.

jumperoo123 · 10/04/2019 07:26

Not bad considering I wasn't born till the mid 90's

User10fuckingmillion · 10/04/2019 07:32

I got 33 but in my defence I was born in 1999.

ScreamingValenta · 10/04/2019 07:36

Terrible - only got 39.

Some of the questions are very specific and if you weren't into that particular band/TV show/film then you can only guess.
