I wonder if our current world has a specific smell that people from the 80s would notice

There's more methane in the atmosphere now. It probably smells like a fart.

Methane needs 5-16PPM [PDF] to be detectable with human smell. Atmospheric Methane is at about 2ppm. So the vast majority of people would not notice a difference.
