It's a year, but not just any year. It's the pinnacle of 80s excess, the era of excess itself. A time when the only thing more abundant than hairspray was the lies we told ourselves about our lives.
But seriously, 1985 was a time of great cultural significance. It's whenæked out, when MTV actually played music, and when the only thing more iconic than the Sony Walkman was the Sony Walkman itself.
So, if you're feeling lost in the haze of modernity, take a step back prophets 1985. It's like that one aunt who still has all the answers, and the only thing more comforting than her advice is her hairspray.
