I had to explain the concept of Vaporwave to my father, a musician who was active throughout the '80's. I told him it's zeitgeist for an era that never actually happened. So I think this hits the nail on the head.

There are similar, albeit less ᴀ ᴇ s ᴛ ʜ ᴇ ᴛ ɪ ᴄ, notions for other decades as well.

Everyone thinks the 1950's were a nonstop sock hop and an episode of Leave it to Beaver.

Everything thinks the entirety of the 1960's was Woodstock.

Everything in the 1970's was brown and orange, or wood grain, and had a ridiculous mustache on it.

...But then, everything that everyone knows happened didn't actually happen in the decade everyone thinks it did anyway.
