I’m posting this on all four parts to clear the confusion:

“80s baby” is a term whose meaning got misconstrued, sort of like the term “hip-hop”. It originally meant someone who was a preteen or teenager in the 80s and actually experienced and participated in the youth culture of that time. That being said, those that were of age to be an “80s baby” in its original sense were mostly born in the 1970s and late 1960s.

The term was misappropriated and adopted by those born in the 1980s with their ascension to adulthood. As communication is more about getting your point across than hard and fast rules and semantics and since the new meaning of the term is more prevalent at this point in time, we original 80s babies would do well to concede the term to our younger counterparts.

Very funny, Sickamore. But, what’s wrong with knowing the words to the “Good Times” theme song? say what you want. At least us 70′s babies’ first piece of pussy didn’t require a condom!

[...] I logged on the allhiphop forums today and saw a “70s Baby vs. 80s baby” thread. A tear almost came to my eye when I saw that the crack baby movement is expanding. It was masterminded by AHH poster “Poisonous Dart” and became a upped thread in no time. I might never have to do the last installment of the “Reasons You’re Not An 80’s Baby” after all. Number 43 is my favorite because you 70’s infants talk about that year like YOU made the millions off of crack. From all the 80’s Babies PD, we salute you. Long live the 8-E’s Babies! [...]

34) You know ‘93 To Infinity word for word.
YOU MUST BE FROM THE BAY. Being from the 80′s doesn’t have much to do w/ that one (my bro is a product from the 70′s and he introduced HEIRO to me)

CRACK IN GREAT TOOK MY IDEA, BUT I MUST SAY DID A GREAT JOB. HERE ARE SOME BONUS CUTS.

1. Your idea of good reading material is the latest issue of DUB Magazine.

2. You think the Smack DVD’s should be released in the movie theaters.

3. You think Lil Wayne is actually a lyrcist

4. You really believe a person from the Ghetto created Crack.

5. You think Tony Montana was a real person.

6. You actually believe that Camron is as ignorant as he makes himself out to be.

7. This is how your son/daughter says the Alphabet. A-B-C-D-E-F-GGGGGGGG UNIT

8. You think not going to University is making a political statment to Uncle Sam.

9. You really believe that Outkast is the best hip-hop group ever.

10. You have no idea who DJ Premier is, but dick ride all the rappers (Nas,Jay Z,Biggie) who he carried with his beats.

11. You think Mike Jones can rap anything other than gifts.

12. You have never heard a Native Tongues album.

13. You really believe you are the next Bill Gates because you bootleg Cd’s.

14. You use the word Hustle when writing your business plan.

15. That is of course you know how to write.

16. You really believe that Jay Z was the first to rap over the Ain’t No Nigga beat.

17. You own anything by the DFB or D4L.

18. You think DMX was correct in Belly by saying books can’t feed your children.

19. You really believe Al Pacino is Cuban.

20. You think Dwayne Wade or Lebron James are the modern day Jordan.

“36) You don’t know who prince dejour, big lez or joe clair are so you think Mad linx is a good host.”…

WOW…That whole list took the cake. Folks be really acting like Tigger is the end-all when it comes to “Two Videos & A Commercial” (i.e. Rap City)
