BTW, for the first one isn't it "Psych" as in you're psyching someone out or messing with their head (same root as psychology)?

Yes. I'd also argue that anyone who saw Michael Jackson before his transformation isn't from that time period.

Edit: I read it as late 80s/early 90s. I guess if you're from the early 80s you would have.

You're DEFINITELY not a kid from the 80s/90s if you over-analyze how to spell certain fad words...
