That was a term that took a while to migrate. I'm pretty sure it didn't hit the East Coast before the mid-'80s. Interestingly, it also apparently receded in the opposite direction. In college in the late-'90s, I had a buddy from L.A. who would say "rad" with no trace of irony, which sounded kind of outdated and strange to me by them.
