Great Wave
August 3rd, 2010
Nostalgic for the 80s- why?
Has anyone got the answer as to why we’ve all of a sudden got this wave of misty eyed nostalgia over the 80s? This recent decade has seen everything that was prevalent in the 80s pop up. Kim Wilde, the 80′s pop starlet is now back out on the road touring once more and Spandeau Ballet (the band your mum loves) have reformed. Thrash metal, a subgenre of metal that died because of 90s grunge has dug itself out of the grave and continued its metal party with new thrash bands such as Evile and Municipal Waste popping up and 80′s bands Kreator, Exodus and Testament are getting some much deserved recognintion. Were seeing more bright coloured clothing and quirky t-shirts coming back ‘in’ -so why do we think of the 80s so fondly?
- We werent invited to the party. Being born in ’84, i dont have many memories on the eighties, if any. But thats the point, people werent there, so will wonder what was it like -and hopefully wont ask their parents, setting them off on a misty eyed journey of their youth.
- Music was fun. Synths, guitar solos and pyrotechnics all seemingly vanished overnight once the 90s came in and music was no longer fun any more. Seemingly each decade takes a stand against what came before it, stopping the influx of one music genre and replacing it with something different. Plus the 80s didnt have Coldplay -the lucky gits.
- The credit crunch. We all need to escape from the reality of the credit crunch, so we do need to let our hair down and party sometimes- provided its cheap-ish. We got the depressingtune of britpop in the 90s- so we cant go to escape there. We need to have some fun, otherwise we’ll crack under the starin of the recession, if only for afew hours so before we go back to worrying.
- rebellion/reflection. The style of the times reflects whats going on with society at the moment, and its also a direct contrast of whats come before it. Which means only one thing:
I’m going to have to sit through a 90′s revival in afew years time. Damn, delay this for as long as possible with some converse trainers and some cool t-shirts.
