    Someone on 'telly recently very saliently pointing out the following opinion he had. That as it so traspires, in the end ie. now, 80's music actually sounds a lot better than we thought it did at the time.

    It's funny I think that how, in the 80's, I loved 80's music, but in the 90's I though it was just so cheesy and crap and I was so happy that music in the 90's was better. But now, in this 21st century decade I think 80's music just sound so good, and 90's music now sounds really cheesey in retro....

    For example:

    Now:

    Crystal Castles

    I was too young to [SIZE=-1]remembe[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]r all of the 80's tunes. Which is p[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]robably why I'm pa[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]rtial to 90's music. My pa[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]rents neve[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]r listened to 80's music much at all since it was a busy time fo[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]r them, having kids and sta[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]rting a ca[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]ree[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]r and [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]all.

    Well it's ok if you missed it then, it's kinda happening again.

    I think the 80's is like the 60's of the 80's.

    I think it's the same thing going on... only we didn't noticed because no-one in the 60's was going on about how good the 40's were, were they?

    culture is aging into a place where the 80's are more acceptable, as in due course, in 10 years, 90's will be more acceptable

    if you hadn't noticed 00's are sort of a slightly better 80's redux (instead of white leather everywhere, black leather everywhere, simplistic elegance, just, a better iteration of it, a better thought out, less coked out version of it)

    Yeah, thank God. New music tends to have a bit of that 80's feel to it lately which is so much bette[SIZE=-1]r than that good 2-3 yea[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]rs of all new music being put out as EMO.

    Emo is schmemo, I'm so glad we are out of the Brit pop things also, it gives bands more breathing space I think.

    I payed $25 to stand out in the rain, I wouldn't pay $100 for any concert. It was good but not epic, CSNY 2006 tour was better.
