You are right. There was a rather large eighties revival in the 00's..but then that makes sense if you think of the 20 year rule (such as in the 90s there was a bit of a 70s revival going on for a bit). Although I think I see more of the 90s starting to creep into the music culture and I would not be surprised to see a full revival of it in the 00s.
Sorry about the poke at the 80s remixes/remakes but you have to admit that for a bit, every other song coming out seemed to pretty be this for a bit, especially in the dance music scene. At least here it was/is.
And yes there was a nice revival of synthpop especially with the bands you mentioned and others such as The Sounds and Melody Club.
