Kids these days know nothing about the 80s and actor Kevin Bacon is out to change this.
In a video for social media website Mashable Bacon schooled ignorant Millenials of the magical decade.
“Awareness of ’80s culture and technology has been in a significant decline,” the The Following actor says.
“Especially among a certain demographic – I’m talking to you, Millennials.”
“All you guys born after 1985 have no idea how hard life was,” Bacon says.
If you wanted to ask a girl out, you couldn’t rely on a dating app like Tinder.
“I went to the White Pages — Google it — and called her house,” the 55-year-old explained.
And when she turned him down, he “couldn’t just swipe away the hurt.”
After revealing his favourite app (Rubik’s Cube) Bacon gets really deep:
“You think Russia’s a threat now Let me tell you about a little thing called the Cold War,” he went on.
“They had nukes pointed at us for 20 years. You couldn’t even skateboard to a Blockbuster without getting nuked.”
