this term confuses a lot of people. the term “80s baby” doesn’t mean a person born in the 1980s. it means a person that was a teenager in the 1980s and experienced the youth culture of the 1980s.
You are an "80s baby" if:
If you played Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Pole Position, Centipede, or Super Mario Bros video games
Played outside til the street lights came on
Wore neon colors, catheads, leg warmers, jean jackets, jumpsuits, acid washed jeans, oversized shirts
Went to the movies to see E.T., Breakin', Real Genius, The Muppets, Karate Kid, Ghostbusters, Coming To America, Krush Groove, Mary Poppins, or Beat Street
Woke up earlier on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons, and Zoom/Mr. Wizard's World so you could do the same experiments the kids did on show
If you knew the lyrics to Self Destruction and Fight the Power.
Played duck duck goose, simon says, double dutch, kickball, hopscotch, dodgeball.. etc
Remember seeing Michael Jackson's perform "Billie Jean" on the Music Awards Show

An extension of just the simple 80s Baby phrase. It gives a clear indication that people born in the 1980s, also grew up in the 90s, thereby acquiring all things culture in both decades.
Also a poem written by Leo Pindar in 2005
Dude, you remember Street Fighter?
Hell ya son. I'm an 80s Baby 90s Child.

Unfortunately, the term Eighties Babies was never heard prior to the the year 1980 and there fore cannot reference a group of people who were born prior to that era. In fact if you know the English language you would understand that 80's references a point in time and Baby references a stage of life, when you combine the two you get a person who was a "baby" during the "80's". If this term were coined in reference to people born in the 70's who were not "babies" in the 80's the term would be 80's people or 80's kids or hippie offspring. Aside from the baby boomers of the early 1940's, Eighties Babies were the only group of children that can be referenced by name and time period. If someone says 80's Baby you can be sure they were born during the 1980's baby boomers were born between 1941 and 1945 during the World War 2 period. Exact actual definition; he or she who was a baby in the eighties!
"I was a baby in the Eighties so I am an 80's baby!"
"I'm 80's baby, born to drive ladies crazy! Don't ever try to play me, you could never sway me."
"Why do people born 10 years before me think they are 80's babies?"
"How can you be an 80's baby if you were born in the 70's?"
"SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE THAT 80'S BABY AND EIGHTIES BABY ARE ONE IN THE SAME; URBAN DICTIONARY"
