Current Events > Can we bring back the 80s?

(+) Yeah! (+)

The 80s was stuffed full of absolutely horrible music, and completely amazing music.

Sometimes it was hard to tell which was which.

I'm 100% in support of this but I can't fault people for wanting to back to certain eras. It feels like pop culture stopped at a certain point and we've been in this extended era where all culture is just recycling tropes here and there.

Either way, take say animation or comics (Or Graphic Novels). I often feel like a problem with entertainment is too much focusing on the bad and not enough effort into seeking out the good.

Like you hear more bashing of say Velma and not enough praising Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which okay former is for adults and latter being for kids.

But the latter is legit good, plus you had treasures like The Owl House or The Ghost and Molly McGee that were good and even entirely original properties that despite people claiming they want original properties, miss out on them entirely.

Which yeah sometimes I think it is deliberate so that people can maintain the claim that nothing good ever comes out.

The 80s does nothing for me since I was born in the 90s. On a policy level, the 80s really did fuck us over, and that other poster is right. We're still feeling the effects today.

I can't fault people for loving media they grew up with, though.

This I can agree with. I can completely understand people still enjoying the great music the came from the 80's, but that's really the only thing the decade has going for it. It's like most people collectively forgot that was the time they elected the damn "Bedtime For Bonzo" guy as president.

There's some 80's entertainment even I like myself. But unless you're some mega-rich, yuppie asshole boomer or Donald Trump I can't imagine why anyone would actually want to turn back time and re-live that ridiculously overrated time period.

Mic drop, 80's win.

Yes, the 80s no message boards to read shit takes on

I want the 90s. The 70s weren't so good, uh I mean we eventually knew who Luke's father would be, by just osmosis.
