That's not what they mean it all... It most certainly has nothing to do with covers of old crappy 80s songs coming out. I think they meant there is an 80s comeback in terms of the revival of post punk, bands like The Killers, Interpol, Editors, etc. and I guess the revival of the synthpop sound a ton of music from the 80s had.
Really though, these days I'd say in terms of music all of the older decades are making a comeback. Lo-fi comes straight out of the garage rock of the 60s. You've got the hard rock and psychedelic rock of the 70s with bands like Super Furry Animals. I think a lot of bands are looking for something new and unique, and in doing so, look to the past for inspiration that doesn't come directly from their peers.
