There are 70s references and a sprinkling of 90s references in the book, which is consistent with someone who grew up in the 80s. For example, Rush's 2112 dates back to 1976. | |

I'm not actually familiar with the song in question, and it's been a while since I read the book, but a song from 1990 can absolutely be thematically appropriate for "the 80's" despite the technicality of not being released in the 80's. | |
