Do the 1980's count as Modern Times?

1966 is when it is thought the modern age began, when in Britain we ceased to be shackled by our Victorian past, and in America the civil rights movement began to bite.

But you could argue the eighties, with the development of the underclass , and Thatcherite greed.


Then again about 2000 and the introduction of the INTERNET, and a worldwide society. Interest in global issues.

The present age is grim. We are just commodities now, to be exploited.
At this traces back to the eighties
So let’s settle for that.

ya'll still are with remnants of the caste system (queens, dukes, princes, princesses, knighthood, etc.); quite frankly, given their past, they should be stripped of wealth and title and tossed out on the street with everyone else....

@wildbill83 I think more of late Victorian morality, attitudes , values
No Sunday sport, theatre, shops.
Attitude to gays, divorce , censorship,
The family as a unit.
