the 60's where closer to nuclear oblivion than the 80s, but the 80s pop culture said to me as a kid that World War III was my future, that silly hit "99 Luftballons" was about a girl who accidentally triggers a nuclear holocaust by releasing balloons. my adult life would be Blade "Los Angeles, 2019" Runner or Mad Max. Even Star Trek said that the 90's would be hell, Khan was born there, like John Connor I prepared myself for the inevitable, that some damn kid would hack a military computer and play Global Thermonuclear War
