I don't care what anyone says, the 80's will always be one of the best decades for music in the history of mankind.

[@chrishateley5582]

Music, films, culture in general. There's a reason so much of today's style and pop culture is 80's inspired. It's because that's when civilisation peaked and it's all been downhill since then.

[@thewaywelive2775]

@@chrishateley5582 Lol 80s movies are the worst. That's when they started to aim movies more and more towards a specific audience. 70's is without contest the best decade for movies. Not saying I don't like 80's movies, but you like them because they are bad

[@chrishateley5582]

The mid 90's is when music died. The overabundance of manufactured boy and girl groups destroyed pop music by saturating the market with soulless, same-sounding drivel marketed towards the lowest common denominator. Pop stars ceased to be artists and became nothing more than shiny faces to put on the CD covers with no creative input whatsoever. If the biggest pop stars of the late 90s had never been born we'd still have their exact same songs just sung by different people.

[@hardleftturn7274]

No young person is going to remember this movie, despite it being a true 80's classic, because we were too young. Hell I was born in 94 and I can barely remember the late 2000s. American Dad gives us a good throwback to inspire interest in these 80's movies anyway. I'd think most of the people that remember that time would be happy we're interested in it too. Besides that sequence from American Dad is priceless.
