Info About the 80's As Provided By My Dad, Who Graduated High School in 1987:
No boxers, no briefs, ONLY tighty-whiteys.
The Satanic Panic was something discussed primarily by adults to try and sway more voters toward Reagan.
EVERYONE had their ears pierced. Men, women, everyone. My Dad still wears his little diamond stud sometimes.
Crop tops and tube socks were a popular combo for high school and college guys.
Long hair was masculine and having decent hygiene was a big deal.
You took a girl to the roller rink on the first date to show off and then to the drive-in on the second date if she wanted to make out.
Here are some good metal bands to include in your fics: Judas Priest, Queensryche, Slayer, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Saxon, Scorpions, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Joan Jett, Pat Benetar, and Alice Cooper.
Vinyl cost between $1 and $4 on average.
Minimum wage was around $3.50.
Jorts for men. Good fuckin' lord the cutoff jorts for men...
The stoners knew everyone and everything.
If you're writing a fic or making art and have any questions for Mark about your Historical Accuracy, please feel free to send me an ask and I'll text him.
He thinks this is fun.

The 80s Dream I imagine we missed out on using a picrew I just found and couldn't resist. (I had to do some color manipulation to get his pale complexion which was interesting and you'd laugh if you saw how I "drew" the ruby lol )
And you know afterwards I had to do Hob. (He's just happy Dream came.) The palest available complexion was the one I used for Hob btw *cries*
I don't imagine either of them actually smoke...but maybe Hob picked it up for a bit because it was trending. Maybe it takes off a bit of the edge when he's around his stranger trying not to think too hard about what not to say.
As for Dream he probably just holds it to appear more human and never actually lights it. The same way he orders drinks but never touches those either.
