Do you agree or disagree with the people that says 80s music is dated?

drummerboy7816 · 02-22-2019, 08:18 PM

Yes. But maybe because I was work in mid 80's, so 90's rock was when music started for me, which probably sounds super dated the 00 babies

I like some 80s music, just not much of it. I know a handful of people though who absolutely love it for nostalgia reasons (all of which are between 33 and 40 in age). I don't typically opt to listen to it. 80s Thrash Metal was some good stuff, and there are a couple of pop hits here and there that I do like for one reason or another but it on the general whole just feels a little to corny to me. 80's horror movies were also notoriously corny. Every now and then, I like a little bit of corny-ness, I've just gotta be in the very rare mood for it (or, just drunk and/or stoned). I was born in 88, so I grew up mostly in the 90s, so my nostalgia is with that stuff. But I also grew up with the rise of the internet and personal computers, so I had access to things across the planet. So for me, for example, 2nd wave Black Metal is actually a bit nostalgic for me, because even though I live in the middle of nowhere in Central East Coast Florida, I can remember listening to Mayhem, Darkthrone, and Bathory a lot when I was 15 and 16 in school (which was pretty rare during that time period at my school, in fact I was probably the only one at that time at my age in my local area that even knew what that subgenre was).

early 80s, maybe a few years in the 70s

Probably not when you had to step out in January weather to recover from the smoke inhalation.

kinda cashing in on the 80s—slightly less pretentious, I suppose, if one omits Simpsons and critics who yammer on how Nirvana started everything for the masses.

As much as I love Talking Heads, the drums on Remain in Light make it sound pretty dated.

Except in those cases where an album utilizes trends that eventually become cliches of those times in a way that artists who came after them found to be no longer "fresh". It goes far beyond production value.

I dunno if things ever really become dated per-se. Otherwise genres like synthwave wouldn't have have such massive followings in 2019. The resurgence in global popularity of stuff like 80's City Pop from Japan is another good example.

"genres don't become dated"
*references a genre built on nostalgia of a single decade's trends as an example*
