That's so 90s.

Hi

I have often come across expressions like:

That's so 80's.

That's so 90's.

The type of expression is used when the speaker sees something that reminds him/her of a particular time.

Are these expressions natural English?

Thanks,

Tom

PS: Can I use the word decade in place of time? ...reminds him of a particular decade.
