"Awesome!” in the '80s (3)

I believe the answer is:

rad

'awesome in the '80s' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for rad that I've seen before include "Unit of radiation" , "measure of dangerous activity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
