Summary/Abstract: It has been extensively written and talked about the generation of the 80s of Romania as a well-formed group during the communist regime, when their members started gaining notoriety, but also in the post-communist period. The starting point of the present essay is that the generation of the 80s ends as a literary phenomenon in December 1989, after the fall of communism. Because of this, it is inadequate to evaluate these writers’ impact on the forming democracy depending on their post-communist group projects. Instead, they should be evaluated and analysed depending on their personal projects such as the founding of new publishing houses, new magazines, be them literary or cultural,associations, even institutions (like the case of what will be known as the Faculty of Letters of Braşov). Ideas and projects are not missing, but they do not take the form of grandiose projects anymore, as it happened in the communist period, turning the expectations that other intellectuals or the rest of the population had from these writers at least inadequate.
