I'm sure you all realized by now that we're living in an age of leggings, funky makeup, flashy colors, huge sunglasses and tons of throwback music, which pretty much stormed our culture last year in the year 2008o. But with all this retroness around, it does feel a bit fake. Like a facsimile falling short of what the real 1980s were...
I'm really getting into 70s and 80s music, especially within the past year, cause it just sounds like real music as opposed to today's cardboard crap. Am I alone??
Would you hit up an 80s club playing music like this:
been to a few 80's clubs, what i was brought up on, so that kind of music is always to my taste, have 100's of my dads old cd's / lp's

People have become a bunch of uninventive turds with short attention spans who sit hunched over at computer screens instead of going out and interacting with each other. There will never again be a golden age of music, just rehashing of what has come before us.

Sure, why not. A little bit of disco and dance pop can't hurt. However, contrary to popular belief, other music was being made too in the 80s. I don't like the retrospective stereotyping of the 80s.

Neither do I. Overblown metal is also part of that stereotype here in the U.S.

Exactly! Anyone stereotypes the 80s as the "cheesy decade" but truth is that the 80s had some extremely good underground (and mainstream) artistic genres of music. But hell, i'm not posting my usual examples, there were many recent 80s threads

hell yea,
it's hard to sum up the 80s in one clip, i didn't mean just that synthpoppy bassline stuff, but even commercially produced stuff like nik kershaw, hall & oates, and mooore. there's no where to start or end!
