Agree with mb's long post above.  At least until recently, what we think of as "decades" actually tend to run 2-5 years behind.

The pictures we have of the "50s" with the poodle skirts and the teenagers dancing to Elvis or Carl Perkins rock and roll music at the sock hop, really didn't start until 54/55.  The early 50s were more like the 40s.  And our idea of the "50s" really ran into the mid 60s.

And what we think of as the "groovy 60s" was really more like mid 60s into the early 70s.  And so on.  So what we think of as the 80s persisted in large part into the early 90s.

Reminded of this ^^ when coming across this:

You mean our society doesn't follow a schedule and shift only in nice, round-numbered years?

Hmph.
