All things ‘80s

Being young though out this decade I’m of course pleased about every aspect of the 80s revival, everything from the sound of the 80s infiltrating new bands to original line ups like Rick Astley, Spandau Ballet and the Flock of Seagulls all reforming and jointly touring it seems.

TV shows of the time like the A-Team hitting the big screen to foods like artic roll and even some selective fashion items. Moreover I am genuinely surprised at how long it appears to be lasting, that it almost seems to be a sub-culture which begs the question have we nothing new anymore? I remember the limp effort of both the 60s revival in the eighties and 70s influence in the 90s. So going by what appears to be a 20 year rule we are due a 90s revival at some point in the teenies? Somehow even though still young in the nineties I can’t think of anything that nostalgic coming from that decade… Grunge bands, Britpop…? Perhaps the 90s was the start of everything becoming more cross cultured, readily available and so wonderfully diverse that the ‘80s was the last fresh, vibrant and inventive decade that we will ever have? We’ll just have to wait and see what music, marketing and media sows.
