While there are certainly some very intelligent people on Arfcom, I have often found that the collective "hivemind" needs to wear slip-on shoes. - Mech2007

Yep, that was 80’s alright. Ain’t it funny how we all lived our Actual real lives, but somehow, we choose to remember it through the Media.
The fake Media memories overpower and supplant our own. Especially for the people who were raised on MTV, Television and Movies. I’m glad my parents made me play outside. |

Found this cover band back a few years ago and they can nail a very large variety of songs spot on IMO. Hell, I like some of their covers better than the originals....

There is still some great music being made with that 80's sound. This is a recent find. The person posting it used the Solarbabies movie to edit in some video to it, lol...

To add, the Starship song I posted above, played on broadcast radio and heard on the rural bus ride as an early school kid brings back memories that otherwise might be lost. I was in early elementary school and on that same bus this kid, who I remembered liked that song, but was several years older asked if I wanted to see his 'transformer'. Sure.... He bunches his fingers up and makes like some vehicle driving along and makes this sound as he 'transforms' it into a middle finger flipping the bird. And while I might not have known exactly what that middle finger signified, I did know it was reserved for grown ups and I would have gotten an ass whipping if I did that at home. |

I learned that duct tape on the seat created a sticky nasty mess in the summer heat. The neck rotator allowed you to spin the handlebars around without twisting the brake cables up for a cool effect when you stood on the pegs while riding down county road to the little bridge over the creek where the 'bad' kids smoked their cigarettes they stole from their parents. |

That video made me happy, nostalgic, but mostly sad that current and future generations won't have a shared experience. I could name every movie/song/tv show within .5 seconds of those fast cuts (some are that fast). Try that with 100's of clips from the 2000's, 2010's, 2020's as a decade. I doubt anyone alive would be able to do that with such consistency.
I've talked about it a lot with my daughter who is early 20's and loves the 80's music. There was something special about mostly everyone enjoying the same entertainment. Now it is so fractured and will get even more specific going forward. Not saying choice and preference is a bad thing in general, and not rooting for cookie cutter commie entertainment, but that was a time period for entertainment that will never again achieve the same reach and commonality again in at least the next few generations. I think it is devolution. |
