With generosity, substance, and well-rounded creative artists at work, America's cultural landscape laid claim to its soil in the 1980s. Charged with innovative and fresh manufacturing power, the 80s seized the heart and imagination of its offspring and cultural moment. It was truly a golden age to experience: Mister Rogers at his peak, Mario and Cabbage Patch dolls at their launch, Spielberg in his prime, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at their birth, Michael Jordan's professional debut, Michael Jackson's Moonwalk, and many other memorable moments. It was a decade where a new plethora of ideas and talent bustled around the country in an exciting and nourishing new way.

 

In politics, a charming actor and politician named Ronald Reagan became the 40th US President and ushered in a new American optimism and prosperity that would last till the end of the decade. Yet, with creation comes destruction.

 

Reagan was shot in an assassination attempt, and John Lennon, one of the 20th Century's most influential leaders of music, freedom, and peace, was gunned down and killed outside his New York City apartment building. Despite his heavy loss, the march of truth carried on in the voice of this generations greatest artists and cultural guardians.

 

To this day, the generation of the 80s remains the last generation that an innocence of experience, at large, can still be frequently traced.
