How to unlock the Born in the 80’s achievement in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City – The Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

People say this might be glitched but I unlocked it no issues. What I did though was to listen to at least one full song from start to end in each of the station until there is a commercial and listened to two chat stations again until there is a commercial. The achievement unlocked when left my car, having finished listening to 2 minutes to midnight in Vrock (as soon as the song ended and a commercial started). I think the unlock condition may be listening to a full song and triggering a commercial in each of the station.

Edit:Thanks to Tozi for confirming that this doesn’t have to be done in one sitting

Edit 2: Per some comments after new update the achievement unlocks after listening to each station for 5 minutes

Thank you for the Guide.
For me it works to get in a vehicle, tune a radion station, wait 5 minutes, get out of the car, tune in the next station, wait 5 minutes again, get out of the vehicle, repeat. I did this until the achievment unlocked.

Maybe this helps someone :)

Does this have to be done in one go, or are you allowed to leave your vehicle between stations?

Better to do in one go which is what I did. But it should work even if you leave between stations

Never mind. I tested it and this does not have to be all in one go. I had two stations I always skipped over so I put them on for a song and some adds. The achievement popped when I changed over from the second. So if you've played for a while, start with the stations you listen to the least.

My first save file was indeed corrupted and glitched so no achievement. But i found a solution. I started a new game and right at the start i played all radios in order from left to right for 5 minutes, then i exit the car and opened the map after every radio station. Achievement popped al the last radio when i left the car. Good luck!

I followed the solution and did exactly what MoHxNICKxNL did by using 5 minute timers for each radio station, opened the menu and achievement popped. So it definitely works this way but we shouldn’t having to be going about it this way, this achievement should be patched making it easier to obtain.

This was also glitched for me, I hit the 100% achievement and this was the last one to unlock. Did a new game, 5 mins each station while sat still and then hit the start button and then exited the start menu and the achievement popped without even getting out of the car.

I can confirm this works as I was someone who thought it was glitched for me

Took a ice cream truck, while selling creams I started in the first channel and listen to the music (song) completely maybe a commercial the moment the next song played changed stations...I got the achievement half way thru the station

This was the last to unlock and I've only just unlocked it. I did all the missions and 100% the game before doing this. I sat in the infernus thats park outside the mansion and set the radio to wildstyle, I set a timer for exactly 5 mins per station, I never left the car at all until I finished listening to the last station which was wave 103. As soon as I left the car the achievment popped 👍

I managed to get this working following a few suggestions

I started doing the 100 taxi missions listening to each radio station and changing the radio every 5 passengers. When this didn't pop, I looked in the menu to see my 'Least Favourite Radio' station and listened to that for another 5 passengers. When I went into the menu to check if the 'Least favourate radio' had changed the achievement popped

Popped for me too, after setting timer for 5 minutes on a new save, sitting in the car on the beach and waiting. Didn't work on a old save, even with @LordBunnyHunter solution :/

@KesGamingYT my condolences... I know how annoying this must be for you cry

I think the "Radio off" station is also required, it popped for me when I spent 5 minutes straight with the radio off.

Popped for me randomly while finishing the Cherry Poppers mission. I had been setting the radio away from the favorite every time I got in the car though to something random.

I was afraid it would need a new play through but it eventually came on my first.

Didn't pop for me until I pressed the button to exit the car. Had definitely had over minutes on each station. Re-did them all getting out the car after each one. Popped exactly when I pressed to exit on the last station.

Tried everything and nothing worked.
Started a new game and even before heading to the hotel listened to each station for 5 minutes and the achievement unlocked.
(Did it without existing the car)

I think there is definitely something going on with this achievement. It unlocked for me while running stations while doing Pizza, Taxi, jumps etc. I was delivering pizzas and I went head over the handle bars after a car pulled out from in front of me and it popped. I probably had over 20 minutes per station and was exiting the vehicle prior to changing stations.

I did 10 minutes on each station and it popped no problems and I've already take over Diaz's Mansion. I just sat in the car right outside the mansion and did it

Whether or not you think this is glitched, the achievement description is misleading at best

Don't think you need to start a new game for this as some have suggested. I think dying in a vehicle voids your progress on listening to the stations. Getting in and out of a vehicle before the 5 minute mark might also void your progress. Five minutes on a station then exiting seems to be the key. Espantoso was the last station I listened to before I got the achievement. At one point this was my favorite station in stats and I probably listened to each station for at least 30 minutes. Keep track of which stations you have listened to for at least 5 minutes then exited a the vehicle without dying and you should eventually get this.

Best to just enjoy the music and the talk shows when getting this, I just would choose the station based on my least favorite station in the stats. Eventually when I paused to go check what my least favorite was it just popped.

I just unlocked the achievement and I noticed it did not pop until I switched stations after the last one I needed. Like others have said, five minutes on each is what I needed.

I got this to unlock finally. I changed to the station and got out of the car then got back in for 5 minutes. I made sure to get out after each station get back in change the station got out again then jumped back in. Then it popped after getting out after listening to the final station

So yeah this wouldn't pop for me no matter how long I let the stations play, but I can state that MFInvincible's statement DID work, however I also had to start a new game as well.

Basicaly start a new game, get a car and drive behind a building or wherever it can't be hijacked.
Let a radio station play for 5 minutes, step out the car, get back in and move on to the next radio station, repeat until you've done all the stations and it SHOULD unlock.

You can check on the stats page at the bottom for the least favorite station. Then just listen to that until either the achievement pops or the least favorite station changes. Then listen to that one. Repeat till you get it.

Pull out your phone, set the time to 5 minutes. Get into a car, start the radio and the timer on your phone and switch the station every time your phone's alarm goes off. Unlocked just fine once I've listened to all of them including the "Kchat". Thanks for the solution. wave

I don't know why, but this achievement is completely broken for me. I've attempted it well over 10 times in just about every way imaginable, trying everything anyone else who claims to have solved this recommends, and even some stuff I came up with on my own:



Listen to all the stations for 5 minutes, listen to them all for 15 minutes, switch to off when you're done, get out of the car when you are done, get out of the car and pull open the map between each and every station, cap the game at 30 fps and then try it, make a new save, I even tried completely reinstalling the entire game, deleting all my old saves, turning off cloud saves, so that everything was fresh, and it STILL wouldn't pop! Does anyone have any idea what the hell I am doing wrong?

Listened to every radio station multiple times, minimum 5 minutes including at least 1 full song plus the talking and/or ads either side - some much, much longer such as when I was doing pizza deliveries or taxi fares - until this one finally unlocked. Definitely glitchy.

Fun Fact
Note the achievement name is "Born in the 80s" not "Lived through the 80s".

It is a reference to the games release year of 2002 and also the games age rating of 18 (most places). If you minus 18 from 2002 you get 1984. See... born in the 80s! It is also roughly the same period of time in which the game is set.

Also, people born from 1984 probably grew up listening to 80s music.

You have to listen to an entire song or entire interview segment, not just cycle through the stations. Basically listen through to a commercial and change the station is what worked for me.
