80s

Which one is correct please?

I still have this ironic piece from the 80s

or

I still have this ironic piece since the 80s

  

Top answer

Speedoz I still have this ironic piece from the 80s . This is correct English, but check that "ironic" is definitely what you mean (and be sure you don't mean "iconic"). This sentence means that the piece was made in the 80s, or originated in the 80s, or possibly came into your possession in the 80s.
