The study charted the memories of Finns who lived their youth in the 1980s with a focus on the music of the time and its effect on everyday life, hobbies and fashion. The participants wrote about where and how they had listened to music, which artists and bands they had liked the most, and what music had meant to them at the time.

There are 60 texts and two images in the dataset. The data collection was conducted by the Niin kasaria ("That's so '80s") research programme of the Department of History and Ethnology at the University of Jyväskylä, Finnish Literature Society and Society of Swedish Literature in Finland.

Background information included age, gender, occupation and place of residence.

The dataset is only available in Finnish.

The data contain texts whose authors consented for archiving them at FSD (N: 60). The complete dataset was archived at the Finnish Literature Society. The data may contain identifiers that have not been anonymised (e.g. person names, information on place of residence, names of work places and such). When publishing quotations of the data, users need to consider very carefully in each specific case what information needs to be removed or altered according to research ethical guidelines. The dataset is (C) available only for research including master's theses. The data and its creators shall be cited in all publications and presentations for which the data have been used. The bibliographic citation may be in the form suggested by the archive or in the form required by the publication. Notify FSD of all publications where you have used the data by sending the citation information to user-services.fsd@tuni.fi. The original data creators and the archive bear no responsibility for any results or interpretations arising from the reuse of the data. The names of the writers and third persons as well as other direct identifiers and references to external sources were anonymised in the data. The names of third persons were removed or, if recurring, replaced with pseudonyms. Faces of people were concealed in images. Newspaper/magazine articles included in two responses were not archived. Anonymisation done at FSD is marked with double brackets. Background information was collected straight from the online form or, in the case of texts sent by email, from the information mentioned in the texts themselves. The data are available in text file format. Images included in texts were saved as separate files and the respective filename marked at the end of each text. Scanned texts were saved in PDF file format.
