Year 1984: An archival experience of a year

The year is 1984.

Specifically, it is May 28th of that year. Recent weather patterns throughout the month have made this the rainiest on record for New York City. Trends in music have begun to set the decade apart from music; Kenny Loggins' Footloose from the movie of the same name can still be heard blaring over a distant radio.

People seem to be calling everything "wicked". Future Best Picture winner Amadeus is currently in production, to be released in the coming fall season. Even the font used on this page evokes a popular vision of the 1980s.
