It would be grammatically correct, but factually incorrect. The real poofy hair was closer to the late ‘80s. 1980 proper featured mostly 1970s styles. Disco and Charlie’s Angels were still a thing, so the fashionable hair was more flowy than poofy.

Idk tbh I’ve seen the documentary on Woodstock (which was released in theaters the following year). It includes a girl there being interviewed on how her parents had disowned her because she’d run away from home to join a caravan of hippie guys. It shows people walking around just naked, some couples with their little children. People bathing in a lake (as usual for them). Everyone high out of their minds rambling philosophical deep thoughts to the camera I have no clue what they were trying to say.

We think about Woodstock as people living a wild hippy lifestyle, but nearly everyone there would have been back at work on the Monday, and their co-workers would be like "Hey Barbara. Did you get up to anything this weekend?"
