Relax Trucker Hat

One of the single words most evocative of the 1980s is the simple command "relax". At a time where everything was moving at incredible speed, it became a real concern that people were suddenly unable to find time to relax. Culturally, the world was obsessed with new technology, new music, and gaining a competitive edge in a changing world. In everyday life, people were working harder and playing harder than ever before. Burn-out was not uncommon, and nor was living to work instead of working to live. This single word, "relax", was therefore held in high regard as the concept of relaxation became almost mythical.
