How would you describe 80s?

I believe Fresh Prince first aired in 91 or 92. Nothing to do with the 80s.\n\n>>>80s style\n\n80s style in everything tried very hard to be sophisticated. That applies to architecture, fine art, TV, clothing, cars, music and so forth. Not that it always succeeded, but sophistication was the ideal. That was contrasted by the 70s plastic/futuristic style in just about everything and the early 90s descent into grunge.\n\n>>>80s music. \n\nVery poppy. Very middle-of-the-road. Thanks to MTV pop was THE 80s music.   Think Michael Jackson, Prince and Madonna.  Even the rock and 'mature' acts like U2 or Genesis were extremely poppy compared to 70s or 90s music. 80s music was very easy to listen to and almost entirely uncontroversial. Madonna was the most controverisal popular artist for songs like "Like a Virgin". That's how uncontroversial 80s music was.\n\nI discount punk as a 70s survivor rather than 80s music, just as I discount early 90s hair metal acts as 80s survivors and defintitely not 90s music.\n \n>>>80s technology development\n\nSuprisingly large on the home front. At the beginning of the 80s VCRs were almost unheard of in private homes and even medium sized cities didn't have any video rental outlets at all. Microwave ovens, personal computers, remote control TVs and cell phones were also practically unheard of. By the end of the decadee those things had all become commonplace.\n\n\n>>>>human values etc\n\nConfused. \n\nDespite the popular image of the "Greed is Good" 80s yuppie the 80s saw LiveAid. It saw the real rise of the environment movement away from the leftist hippy fringe and into the mainstream. It saw the start of the 'War on Drugs'. It saw a massive international mobilastion against apartheid in South Africa. It saw mass rallies against nuclear weapons. Social politics in movies and on TV in the 80s was far more common than anything today. \n\nOverall it was very odd. Society seemed more socially aware and socially active than at any period since the 60s, while at the same time individuals were astoundingly blase.

The best decade is always going to be the decade you grew up in. Mine was between the 80's and 90's because this when I was growing up. Many songs of this era are important to me because they were my companions during my awkward years. I'm sure some out there know what I'm talking about.

It's not really fair to judge this decade's music just yet.  I thought the music of the 80s sucked during the 80s but now I mostly listen to 80s music on the radio.  \n\nIn 10-15 years, we'll probably appreciate this decade's music more than we do now.

I would think it means somewhere between 85 and 90...

Rap.  You don't even make the music. In the late 80s, all the rap songs were from samples of two or three other songs.  You don't need to sing or dance.  There are only three themes (gang banging, pimps and hos, and party).

Get on the internet (yahoo, of course), and type in "80's fashions/men's/clothes" or something like that, or I bet you there is somebody close to you that has 80's clothes. o.k.bye.

I love the song "Peekaboo" that they did in the 80s. It's totally groovy.

The 90's was the decade of the Flat-top, feathered hair, Boyz II Men, and New Kids on the Block.  Watch old re-runs of 90210, Saved By the Bell, and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.  \n\nGraffiti was in the 80's and so was break dancing.  And whatever you do, PLEASE do not let people into your house if they have a Jerri Curl!!!  Damn, I feel old!

Wow....tough question.\n\n70's:  Anything I could dance to like the BeeGees or KC and the Sunshine Band.\n\n80's:  I still love hearing Joan Jett and the Blackhearts "I love Rock And Roll"\n\n90's:  Anything by my favorite band, Collective Soul\n\nNow:  Let's see.....what is in the cd player right now?  Right now I have the song Dare by Gorillaz playing.  Good dance song.\n\nI dj, so I'm always looking for things I can play for others to move to.
