Which decade does the 1980s lean closer to culturally, socially, politically, and economically? I would say the 60s mostly such as the music and fashion, but some elements lean closer to the 2000s like video games and cell phones.

Wasn't the internet was born on Saturday, January 1, 1983, but didn't go public until April 30, 1993? In 1993 the source code for the world’s first web browser and editor made it bit more accessible to browse. The internet went live in august 1991 but there have been versions since 83. Proto internet/online activity has been around since 1979 but mostly a geek/techie/business or university thing , with some casual users, but a accessible with most computers. This is why you had so many hackers then, hacking into bank accounts with movies like war games. Chatting, messaging, uploading/downloading files like cracked Atari and 80s pc games, software files and ebooks and text files were common things. You had numerous hobby groups. They were called BBS and newsgroups. It was a thing from 1979-1993/94. Lots of them operated until the mid to late 90s but the internet killed a lot/most them off.

That's interesting and cool to look back on! I appreciate you clarifying that for me because I wasn't sure about the internet's history. Were those same hackers responsible for the 1983 video game crash? Not really but computers games were bigger than console games and arcades in the mid 80s because of the crash and because people saw computers as offering more than than games which made it a better offer with more dynamic titles you could also easily copy. People grew tired of the same difficult Atari formula, after pong, Atari (starting with arcades) was a thing from 1973-1974 to 1983-1984. In 1984-1987 computer games filled the gap as the dominant choice before the nes took over in 1987. Arcades we’re picking up again in the mid 80s but got big again in the late 80s and early 90s

More like the 1960s, the digital revolution has been such a huge change in life (despite it already being in its early phase in the 80s). If you had asked me this question a couple years ago, I would've stated the 2000s.

The late 80s are definitely closer to the 2000s due to the emergence of video games, house music, and hip hop.
