Jumping to 1985 - The Year of the Hair Metal

Welcome, fellow time travelers, to the Temporal Teleport section of our Time Hopping Guide. Here, we'll guide you through the process of jumping through time to the most iconic year of them all - 1985.

Why 1985?

1985 was the year of the mullet. The hairdo of the gods, it was the epitome of style. But, it was more than just a fashion statement. It was a symbol of rebellion, of nonconformity, and of utter madness.

Getting There

To teleport to 1985, you'll need to follow these simple steps:

Find a functioning time machine (not as easy as it sounds, we know).
Set the dials to 1985.
Cross your fingers and hope you don't get caught by the authorities.

What to Expect

When you arrive in 1985, be prepared for:

The sounds of Duran Duran and Journey filling the airwaves.
The sight of neon lights and synthesizers everywhere.
The smell of hairspray and hairspray-fueled fires.

Don't forget to pack your parachute, because the landing might be bumpy.
