Going by Marcus in that TH interview about Instagram, I'm sure they'd have some funny, crotchety remark about it.
Been on an eighties phase myself but it had more to do with that new Tears For Fears album XD
I earnestly believe the '80s to be the most influential decade on modern pop culture and love so many genres that got boosted during that time to death (New Wave, Post Punk, Industrial, Darkwave, House, Synthpop, the list goes on), but I can't stand it when people just latch onto the "aEsThEtIc" of the eighties because Mike Score had a unique hair-do (their first album was actually fantastic btw) or they listened to too much Vaporwave. The overproduced sound of pop music in the latter half of the decade is probably the worst "dated sound" of the past 60 years IMO. The decade is a treasure trove of great music if you search beyond the FM hits stations.
Rant over.

). All the trends just kind of react to each other. Innovative new wave acts get exposure when MTV comes out, video kills the radio star as we all know, the latter half gets flashy and commercial, then the teens and young adults of the MTV generation go back to innovative styles like the Rave and Grunge scenes.
.. so sad
