i want 1920s going 1930s art deco depression kino
For me it's The Bangles.
Susanna can Hoffs me anytime she wants. Even now. If you catch my meaning.
You mean when she is done with you, you'll walk like an Egyptian?
80s revival is just a permanent fixture of modernity, it's not really a revival anymore but just an "aesthetic"
this
it will forever remain the retro because time doesn't pass anymore
This
The permanency and ubiquity of the internet and the data therein has killed legitimate "generations" or "eras" in both low and high culture
I prefer more of a late 70's vibe myself, like The Warriors or something
80's was too gay
70s sleaze is unmatched
late 70s and early 80s is the sweet spot for nostalgia
Wait till trump is president again
Reminder that the 80s were more about wood paneling than about neon everywhere.
Yes. Bottom pic is correct. I can smell it now.. slightly moldy carpet smell and or stale cigarette stank.
Top image seemed to only exist on tv and in movies.
confirmed poor gay
You could use that exact same set of images for the 90s.
*with an NES instead of an Atari VCS in the bottom image
I can tell most of you are poor gays
growing up in you cuck
Top looks like the set of a kids cartoon block show in the 90s.
Shows like 'Saved by the Bell' kept Memphis Group design alive into the 90s but it had otherwise pretty much left mainstream culture.
while the bottom is accurate (besides the poster of atari dragon...no one had that) its too close to earth tones of the 70s if you want something to be noticeably 80s.
The Memphis Design aesthetic was from the 80s so I guess thats why they over do it in movies/shows
It comes down to designs that were popularized in the decade versus what most people lived with. The earth tones and paneling originated in the 70s but most people didn't renovate every decade to the latest trends so what most people lived was the bottom image even if someone keeping up with trends would have gone with something Memphis (or more likely, the other forgotten 80s trend, floral/nature wallpaper and oak, Oak, OAK!).
true
but that was the new style
We are in a homosexual late90s-early 00s revival now. Look at the way all young prostitutes dress. It was a crime against fashion the first time around and it's a billion times worse now because it's mixed with shitty body positivity.
I've noticed this recently too. Baggy pants seem to have returned.
>We are in a homosexual late90s-early 00s revival now
finally
Count the Nirvana tshirts worn by spawn of illegal aliens
bro everyone moved on to late 90s early 00s revival get with the times
> late 90s early 00s revival
give me three examples, or even one
was there even just a 90's revival
Bananarama were the least attractive 80s girl band.
You are a homosexual
Siobhan is hot. Least attractive 80s girl band is Wilson Phillips. Norm even did a joke about it.
>Wilson Phillips
Only because of Carnie the fat pig. Who the hell names their kid beef in spanish?
Wilson Phillips was on VH1 too much to be considered a girl band. They were a middle age office manager band. Plus they didn't release anything until 1990 so they can't be considered an 80s band.
I didn't know Anthony Kiedis was in Bananarama.
plenty of boys spilled millions to the cruel summer video
Women shouldn’t be allowed to post here
stop thinking there is such a thing as 80s revival, for one thing
Wedding Singer is from 1998
And you still think there is such thing as "revival"
There is no revival. There is no new culture. We're just recycling the same shit over and over again.
All the music that is played on the radio are just covers from the past. All the movies that are being played in the movie theaters are just sequels and reboots. There is nothing new. Nothing.
Mark Fisher theorised that the working and middle classes have been slowly and systematically robbed of the structural conditions required for the creation of 'new' art and culture. The fact that nowadays every 'up and coming' artist is a rich kid or industry plant without an original bone in their body seems to support this idea.
What are the required structural conditions, and why were they robbed from the middle class specifically, and by whom? This is interesting. Source?
It's a common thread throughout his blog and some of his books. I think there's a specific essay on it in 'Ghosts of my Life'. His argument is centred around the united kingdom as that is where he is from, so you may not find it useful if you are american.
Am a yank, but I can cull from. Thx for the rec.
>theorised
he clearly believed it was real because he fricking killed himself.
I do wonder what kind of song managed to kill him.
Cyndi Lauper was insanely hot back in the day and nobody will convince me otherwise
She was. Jersey types are my thing anyhow.
Cyndi Larper.
Zoomers have been doing 2000s cosplay for like five years now anon, 80s nostalgia was a millennial thing
So zooms are getting the 00s completely wrong too, like millennials and the 80s?
>cosplay
She just looks like a prostitute flaunting her armpits like that.
no madder the decade that girl takes BWC

>Why is the 80s revival still going
I'm doing research on nostalgia (I'm not finished yet) and the 2020s seem to be more nostalgic for late 80s early 90s rather then core/early 80s like it was last decade.
Picrel is an (unfinished) truncated visual of what I've found (also a prediction) generally a decade seems to be nostalgic for 30-40 years previous.
it's inorganic, corporate-driven, bro
>things from ur youth
comes with an in-built audience
>comes with an in-built audience
Yes, but certain decades seem to be a little stronger in their nostolgia.
I noticed, 1920s, 1950s, and 1980s all had much longer nostolgia arcs for some reason.
because they were big cultural shift
>1920s, 1950s, and 1980s all had much longer nostolgia arcs for some reason
I say it is rather interesting that decades dominated by Republican presidents are usually more nostalgically remembered.
>comes with an in-built audience
yeah, because of nostalgia
I agree but people want nostalgia
>nostalgic for 30-40 years previous.
20-30 anon
90's was all about the late 60's and 70's
although not to the extent the 80's dominated for the last 20 years
There's nothing worth of revival from '90s and '00s. Maybe Rachel hair for women, but that's it.
>Why is the 80s revival still going
Unironically Vice City. Everyone played and loved it 20 years ago and this is what many ~35 year olds think of the '80s these days.
Quite possible. Even today I like to play some Vice City from time to time. Even if later games were technically better, VC just have the best atmosphere in all gaming.
>Vice City was 20 (actually 21) years ago
Damn. I really wonder what the late zoomers think of games like that. When I was a kid, a 20 yo game meant few shitty pixels shooting other shitty pixels and making fart noises while doing so.
The pinnacle l of the GAE
>80s revival
it's going to last forever.
The women of the 80's, 90's and the early to mid 00's were way hotter than the 2010's and 2020's.
Let that sink in.
Then why chose such a mid example?
It's time to admit it to your friends and family that you're a gay, anon. Don't worry, it's current year, you'll get showered with praise.
lmao this homie mad that I insulted his ugly waifu
Always a bit surprised how little attention pic related get for 80s nostalgia given their level of popularity back then.
yeah, there are a TON of great 80s bands and movies that dont get mentioned. its always the typical mega hits and a few cult classics, but the true blue, common everyday stuff from the 80s is constantly overlooked.
Greg Kihn is another one. He was popular enough to be parodied by Weird Al but his music seems mostly forgotten now.
Who are these women? I don't remember them being in the movie.
The 2 greatest parts about Fast Times.
Unless I have a bad case of face blindness, those aren't the same women.
>Why is the 80s revival still going
Because deep down we know Trump will return as President.
>Because deep down we know Trump will return as President.
I'm with him as long as it's not Biden. Honestly, I'm at the point dems were with the previous election where they put a doddering hospice patient just to have ANYONE but Trump.
did you know pheobe cates changed her name to kiki wolfgates and got in charge of microsoft video game division and eventually asked halo studio to make a cute 'young cortana' called the Weapon, based on her (phoebe)?
Which character would she be if the Game of Thrones were filmed in the 80s or 90s?
The economy was shit in the first half of the 80s though
For the first couple of years, yes, the 70s carried over but by '84 things were going so great, pic related happened.
