Tie-dying is pretty much explained in the phrase: you twist then tie fabric, then dip sections into dyes. You can use strips of fabric as ties-- the result will be less defined, more feathery edges along the dye's borders. Or, the most effective way is to use medium to wide rubber bands, which will result in a straighter border between sections. Anyplace that is 'tied' will be white when untwisted and untied. The other sections will be colored with the dye you used.
The best artistic results are to twist and tie the garment, and then take opposing sections of twisted/tied fabric, and tie opposing sections together with rubber bands.
You can also do the basic twist and tie, let it dry with rubber bands in place, then later, undo the first ties and twist and tie the garment in a different way to expose some white sections and dye only parts of the white with a new color unused before in this garment.

Was there tie dye in the 1980?
The tie-dye technique for dyeing fabric has been around since the fourth century before current. Although I am guessing it is the bright swirling designs of the 60's that you are most likely referring to. The technique is still around today and although fashion trends changed in the 80's there certainly were old hold outs that continued to decorate clothing in that manner.

Resist dyeing is a technique where specific parts of the fabric are covered with a substance that resists the dye, creating patterns or designs. In tie dyeing, fabric is tied or bound in specific ways before dyeing, creating unique patterns where the dye cannot penetrate. Both techniques allow for creative and colorful designs on textiles.
