Fads are tricky sometimes. It can be hard to remember exactly when they began or when they hit their peak, since some fads bleed between decades. So at least you got some of the easy ones here, but don't beat yourself up too bad!

Right!
You missed some of the tougher ones, which is a bit understandable because of how old some of these fads are. It's reasonable to assume that some of your mix-ups here were due to not remembering when a fad began or hit its peak - some fads did bleed between decades. But overall you did great!

You sure know your stuff about the fads from the last several decades. Some of these fads did bleed into each other, so it's super impressive that you're able to determine when they started or when they peaked. Great job!
