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. |
You're right, there's a bit of 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s (because it hasn't left yet) in new music today. Current metal, prog and psychedelic/experimental bands are hugely influenced by the 70s. As you said garage rock but also a lot of indie rock/indie pop is influenced by the 60s. Punk, hardcore, post-punk, electro/techno, pop etc. are influenced by the 80s...and so on. It's all happening at once. Some say because people have run out of ideas. That may be true for bands that sound like replicas of bands passed, but I think in general it's only natural to be influenced by music of the past to some extent. Everyone has their musical idols.

I remember when Melody Maker & NME tried to start a New Romantic revival in the early 90s. :laughing:

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. |

I honestly think the 80s revival will be in full gear in the 2010s considering that there was a 50s revival in the 80s, and it already is starting to make a comeback considering that synthpop is just now making a strong comeback. The 80s were pretty much just a modernized version of the 50s (new wave and glam bands were directly influenced by 50s rock n roll/rockabilly, and in turn, I think the 2010s are going to be a modernized version of the 80s considering that electropop (which is basically modernized synthpop) is starting to become very popular, and I'm predicting that electropop along with a few other genres of electronic dance music is going to phase out hip hop/rap/urban pop around 2010 or 2011. At least I hope so. |

sure the mainstream can try shoving electropop down our throats but i figure that will last about as long as it takes for the generation of Miley Cyrus fans to realize they've been getting spoonfed garbage for their entire youths. not unlike the same kids who got sick of the hairspray in the 80s and embraced the rawness of grunge when it finally appeared. that's not to say grunge will make a comeback. at least i hope not. although i'll be really surprised if raw emotion doesn't end up surpassing synthetic pablum in the near future. |
Progressive rock should become mainstream again. Ze' End!

i loved the radio in the 90's and as for the music in general...i seem to remember hearing vocals and guitar play that i thought were the last traces of great rock and roll in America not to say there isnt rock these days but it doesnt sound anything to me like the 90's, 70's and some of the 60's....the classics. I am impressed by some of the vocals coming out these days and i hope progressive rock explodes soon. The Mars Volta has been tearing it up for a few years now...the volta and Bands like them need a big break
