The 80s - someone must agree??

Someone must agree with me that the 80s were cool..... the
soulseek chatroom certainly doesn't! and now i feel like an
outcast! and probably no one will reply to this message, and
i'll feel like even more of an outcast!

I watched the conversation, I'm on your side, I'm just too
afraid to stand up for myself.

All the more power too you man. If only I had the courage
to against the masses.

I'm also a child of the 80s, and I'm not happy about it. A
child of the 60s would have been great.

80s from the perspective of a 4 year old... but looking
back, they seem cool.... and joy division rock.

Nine inch Nails may be cool but they can't be put into a
defense of the 80's. Their first release came in Nov '89.
a little late to save the decade.

However New Order/Joy Division, Skinny Puppy, Ministry,
Pixies,... were all great artist to come out of the 80's

The 80's were the best.

TB-303, acid, house, electro, computers with green screens,
C64, nintendo 8bit, everyone was happy, i was still a kid,
Indiana Jones, Robocop, Terminator 1, college-movies etc etc
etc.

the 80s were great times 4 music imo

but as it got later in the 90s up to today it seems like
most of the mainstream artists perform only for profit and
will use any method that will get them there

some music's improved throughout the 90s tho...

Most 80's music was all about the money and not art at all.
Doesn't anyone remember Poison, Skid Row, Cinderella,
Warrent, Tesla, Whitesnake, Winger, Scorpions. Need I go on?
Every decade is the same shit. It's easy to look back and
remeber the good or the bad but people seldom remember
things as they were.

sticking to a certain period is definitly not one of the
most intelligent things to do methinks; it may help you
finding your section in a cd store but it has nothing to do
with quality.
....maybe with style but this is also a rather uninteresting
question

i was too young really to have a decent recollection of the
80s

i liked the development of diversity and complexity in music
throughout the 90s in the underground scene (mainstream on
the other hand; blech)

I think the reason the eighties had such an impact on me was
because we were all young, in school with our mates - having
a great time.....and now that I am older, and have
responsibilities that I never had then....things are
different!

I was a nice place to be...

I'm not a big fan of 80's music... or fashion! But
everything else was great. The toys, cartoons, video games,
all of that stuff. I was born in late '82, so all the late
80's NES games and all that are so nostalgic. And I miss GI
Joe and the Transformers. :-( They don't make cartoons like
that anymore.

lots of 80s topics recently. as for me i'm a child of the
80s but i don't remember too much. i definitely didnt
listen to much music back then, so i have no fondness for
80s music. Some good TV shows though.

The movie is so damn great... Robert Stack from Unsolved
Mysteries did the voice of Ultra Magnus, I always got a kick
out of that.

And they swear and curse in that movie! It brings me near
tears to watch it these days, so nostalgic. :-) And it's so
sad when Optimus dies.

I listened to 'Dancing with tears in my eyes' by Ultravox
earlier today. It's from '84. (I even put it on repeat).

Have you seen the video to this song? It's pretty scary and
sad. Touches me deeply. Honestly. :(
