Abstract:
The main focus of my project is researching the everlasting impacts 1980s popular culture has on current day society. More specifically, my research focuses on how people of the 1980s were influenced by their popular culture at the time and compare it to popular culture today. As well as looking at the similar aspects between the two and how old pop culture still plays a hand in influencing current day culture with the media, technology, and fashion.
