But it wasn't until last year that I discovered this song. What a perfect distillation of everything we love about the ALT 80s. This has become maybe my all time favorite song.

Damn, you're so right. Right around the turn of the decade, new music stopped. Maybe it was the internet that killed it. Listen to young pop stars like Charli XCX - they are literally just parodies of what came before. They make what I call ringtone music: could be created by a computer.
