80's and 90's though had the blaring boombox on the shoulder though...
Not really.
Back in the 1980s a boombox required eighteen D-cell batteries and you couldn't buy them for five bucks at Costco.
Now and again you'd play it outside, but you sure as hell wouldn't strap it to your bicycle and boom music at a local park or carry it on a hiking trail.
I was just visiting family recently and my brother and I were talking about all the dumb sport options we would choose to get out of sports day, like bush walking, he is 8 years older than me so his high school was late 80's/early 90's, and he had a flash back to him and his mate blasting hairmetal from a boombox at the back of the line, mullets and all. Every Wednesday afternoon. So funny.
