Nobody on here hates the 80s, unless they're a newfag, or any decade for that matter. It's not that hard to acknowledge how it was the worst though. Unless you exclusively listen to new wave and NWOBHM, it was the worst for everything. Synths infected pop music and, aside from a select handful of fantastic bands, it birthed a wave of some of the cringiest radio hits of all time. Glam metal was massive. A lot of bands and artists dumbed down their sound in response to the musical trend. Lots of heavier genres were born (hardcore punk, thrash, black, and death metal) along with hip hop, but they were all refined and perfected in the 90s. Psychedelic rock/pop died. Garage rock died. Post-punk was still going strong, but it was done better in the 70s anyways. It was just really fucking... cheesy and creativity was at a massive low.

That's exactly why it was the worst.
You forgot house music. The 80's was the best, in the 80's house was born.
In the beginning, there was Jack, and Jack had a groove.
And from this groove came the groove of all grooves.
And while one day viciously throwing down on his box, Jack boldy declared,
"Let there be house!" and house music was born.
I am, you see,
I am the creator, and this is my house!
And, in my house there is only house music. But, I am not so
selfish because once you enter my house it then becomes OUR house and
OUR house music!" And, you see, no one can own house because
house music is a universal language, spoken and understood by all.
You see, house is a feeling that no one can understand really unless
you're deep into the vibe of house. House is an uncontrollable
desire to jack your body. And, as I told you before, this is
our house and our house music. And in every house, you
understand, there is a keeper. And, in this house, the keeper
is Jack. Now some of you who might wonder.
Who is Jack, and what is it that Jack does?
Jack is the one who gives you the power to jack your body!
Jack is the one who gives you the power to do the snake.
Jack is the one who gives you the key to the wiggly worm.
Jack is the one who learns you how to walk your body.
Jack is the one that can bring nations and nations of all
Jackers together under one house.
You may be black, you may be white; you may be Jew or Gentile.
It don't make difference in our House.
And this is fresh!
80's thrash is quite good but i guess you're right
but what about punk and gothic rock from that era/point of time in it?
Tell that to the disco and memerap fags that are convinced that the 80's is the worst era of music
>birth of dream pop and shoegaze

This picture reminds me of an album. What album is it again?
In the Post of the Double Trips
60s > 80s > 50s > 90s > 70s > 10s > 00s
Fact
holy shit those are some nice trips boi
60s > 90s > 10s > 50s > 70s > 00s > 80s
Fuck the 80s and every modern artist that changes their style completely because they feel inspired by them
1970s > 1960s > 1980s > 1950s > 1990s > 2000s > 1930s > 1910s > 1940s > 2010s > 1920s > 1890s > 1900s
As if those two memethot genres are enough to cancel out the many legit reasons OP posted

Pure Autism. Its a next generation of fucked up mind, body and soul in one package.
le rong generation
Is this pasta? I actually kind of agree regardless, Prog and Folk kinda died too. It's not just that there was a dearth of quality in variety like the 70s and 90s but the pernicious effects of synthetic pop from this decade have made modern radio unlistenable.
70s > 90s > 60s > 00s > 80s > 10s > 50s
JENNY JENNY WHO CAN I TURN TO
The 80s were a fucking catastrophe. The timbres in Pop alone are baffling. It ruined Metal and what was left of Rock.

My music taste > Your music taste: The thread
Can we just all agree that the 70s was probably the most based musical era of modern times?
We need you, we need you to go dance
We need to get together and Boogie-woogie, woogie-boogie
Radar love is here
The star of stars
This is your night
Gotta get up here and dance
You gotta get up
Come on, come on, help me
Come on, baby, come on, dance
my god Sup Forums is so ignorant of dance music and non-album oriented music in general
nobody should care about dance music
y
yawn
there were a lot of bad things about the 80's. a lot of genres took a creative downturn, it was the beginning of the modern popstar, and yeah most 80's synths are cheesy. but the best band of all time was active only during the 80's.
inb4 >BUT user U POSTED LE WRONG BAND XDDDD
>the best band of all time
ummmmmmmm that's strong. gonna need a sauce on that
True.
It was.
Wew. Two more genres executed better in the 90s.
I don't hate the 80s, if you read my post.
NICE TRIPS
Shove the 80s behind the 50s and it's spot on.
Absolutely.
This.
Only soulless cretins don't care about dance music.
It is
>Post-punk was still going strong, but it was done better in the 70s anyways.
lol post punk peaked in the early eighties
Reminder that this is the official democratic Sup Forumscore.
60s=90s
70s=00s
80s=10s
accurate?
Sonic Youth released their best work in the 80s though...
Yup, it's a never-ending cycle. The 20s will be the start of the third cycle, and GOAT music will be released during that time.
there isn't anything similar with the 30s 40s and 50s though is there?
That's because the never-ending cycle started in the 60s when some hippie cast a spell on the music industry using psychedelia-fueled meme-magic.
>tfw the 20s musical awakening will be driven by cheap, pure LSD widely available once people figure out how to use the darknet and bitcoin to get it

Lmao
People were dying in wars and shit back then, also massproduced pop culture wasn't really a thing yet.
More like LSD just being legalized.
maybe in europe. Unless there's some major snowball effect starting once a couple more states legalize pot, I don't think it'll happen in the US any time soon :(
Realistically, the 20s will be the decade of marijuana legalization. Canada gonna do it in 2017, and our marijuana corporations will sue the American government using NAFTA for prohibiting us from doing business in the US.
>shoegaze only promising new trend
>music press completely murders it because it's not britpop or grunge
How did they get away with this?
Probably just need the UK to legalize it for it to influence music as a whole, would be plausible now that they're also out of the EU.
UK is more conservative than the rest of Europe right? ignorant american here. Netherlands and Portugal are like the two most drug-tolerant countries right?
>Who are Talking Heads, Pere Ubu, Joy Division, PiL, Iggy Pop, Contorions, Devo, Magazine, and Wire?
>UK is more conservative than the rest of Europe right? ignorant american here.
Europe is way too varied for this statement to have any real meaning. Like you have Netherlands being pro-everything and Scandinavia being socialist paradise, but then you also have all the east European catholic shitholes that are basically third world countries plus the big guys like France and Germany pushing for Europe to become Merka 2.
>Talking Heads
>Joy Division
>Public Image Ltd.
These bands peaked in the 80s, though.
Remain in Light was 1980 and sure, it was Talking Heads at their best, but all their other classics were in the 70s and all their bad albums were in the 80s.
Joy Division released Closer in 1980 before breaking up and that's not their best.
PiL literally took a nosedive in the 80s. What are you on?
>all their bad albums were in the 80s
You mean the one shit one?
>that's not their best
Closer is clearly the superior one.
>PiL literally took a nosedive in the 80s. What are you on?
>he hasn't listened to the flowers of romance
Shoot yourself.
>look how contrarian I am, guise! xDD
The 60s were pretty overrated but otherwise correct
>Closer is clearly the superior one.
no it isn't
i'm so tired of this fucking meme
How the fuck is it contrarian to claim Remain in Light, Closer and the Flowers of Romance were the peak of those bands?
Anyone else really excited for the Sup Forums post with all 6's?
Unknown Pleasures has a good opener, the rest is garbage.
Music gets objectively better with every passing decade just because recording and archiving technology gets better. The fact that you can listen to the entire Led Zeppelin discography on Spotify for free means this decade is objectively better than the 70's.
The 80's are only worth talking about because it was a better decade than the 90's--which are an exception to the general rule because the 90's sucked so fucking bad.
The 90's are the only decade that isn't better than every previous decade, so they make the 80's look fucking awesome. Jesus Christ the 90's sucked. It's the only decade in which music became more expensive to purchase and make.
>excited for satan's ascent to earth
Edgy.
Remain in Light, sure, but Unknown Pleasures and Metal Box are preferred by the majority.
Just because the band has one other more popular album doesn't make the choice contrarian.
no that is pretty much exactly what it means
