Really? Far out.

I moved around a lot as a kid, like nearly every two years. Lived in NM, CA, TX, NE, DE, FL... for us, it peaked in 82-84 when that stupid tom hanks movie had people riled up.

By the 90s, people were playing AD&D at church camp.

You don't remember the religious nutjobs playing records backwards at 3/4 or 2x speed hunting for audio that they could claim was "I love Satan" subliminal messaging? Right up through the mid 90s we had all sorts of psychotic make believe like that.

yeah but I remember that shit mid 80s. not 90s. 90s were ALL ABOUT THE FUCKING POGS MAN.
