But what about all the cool 80s music that is quintessentially 80s to me? All this 80s retrospectiveness tends to reduce the decade to kitsch, and it just ain't so, I tells ya. Important and cool stuff was going on in the 80s.
Then came grunge and the whole sensibility got nuked as far as the marketplace was concerned. And now we drag up the disposable junk from culture's landfill and call it 80s, as if to say, we are laughing at the 80s, look how cool we are. The substantial work is neither propagated nor built upon. It makes boorite sad.
