This is something that I've always felt but never knew how to put, especially with the synthesizers. I love me some 80s jangle pop though.
I don't think most people who listen to pop music really put much consideration into their listening habits and consequently creating something that's really timeless isn't as much of a priority as making something that's marketable and fun.
