You will always get mixed reactions when you mention the 80's. The era was, after all, pretty iconic, but a lot of it would also be too much to bear for
With so many things seemingly wrong and unjust with modern-day society, we can sometimes feel overwhelmed, outraged, and want to rebel in some way. Well, some people protest and tell the system to go fudge itself in very creative and polite ways—by deploying forms of mild vandalism.
