You were for sure going to get HIV if you even looked at blood, as well.

Later Gen Z and elder Millennials had the same thing with the 60s (came back in fashion in my early teen years) and most Millennials with the 70s (later teen years/college).  It’s just the 80s turn, time marching on. 

There’s two bits with slightly different circumstances

For people in our age group it was generally derided as an infantilizing trend most frequently flaunted by manic pixie dream girls and rich teens. More of an aspirational trend for people who confused feminism with hating men.
