80s Baby

reference to those that were born in the 80s (1980-89)
rappers use this a lot as it has become a cool thing to be born in the 80s and use this nickname for it

this term confuses a lot of people. the term “80s baby” doesn’t mean a person born in the 1980s. it means a person that was a teenager in the 1980s and experienced the youth culture of the 1980s.

Similar to 80s baby 90s child.

Someone born in the 80s, but grew up in the 90s.

An extension of just the simple 80s Baby phrase. It gives a clear indication that people born in the 1980s, also grew up in the 90s, thereby acquiring all things culture in both decades.

Also a poem written by Leo Pindar in 2005

You were raised during the 80's. During the 80's you were still a young child and don't know, or remember what happened during the 70's.

A person that was born to crack addicted parents, during the 80's.

Unfortunately, the term Eighties Babies was never heard prior to the the year 1980 and there fore cannot reference a group of people who were born prior to that era. In fact if you know the English language you would understand that 80's references a point in time and Baby references a stage of life, when you combine the two you get a person who was a "baby" during the "80's". If this term were coined in reference to people born in the 70's who were not "babies" in the 80's the term would be 80's people or 80's kids or hippie offspring. Aside from the baby boomers of the early 1940's, Eighties Babies were the only group of children that can be referenced by name and time period. If someone says 80's Baby you can be sure they were born during the 1980's baby boomers were born between 1941 and 1945 during the World War 2 period. Exact actual definition; he or she who was a baby in the eighties!
