then a power gap to artists like george michael, cyndi lauper, whitney houston.

There were no black people in Duran Duran!

If you don't know, get out.

Some of the biggest black artists in the 80s (Jackson, Prince, Richie, Houston) were curiously white in their presentation in a lot of ways

It's a reference.

There's something powerfully 80s about Wham. All about conspicuous consumption and artifice only to find later it was all fake and gay.

Good joke.

Hadn't seen that.

Madonna made us all her bitch in the 80s and every wannabe art popper from Grimes to Gaga to Lana is working in her shadow.

Madonna wasn't an artist, she started out ripping off Cyndi Lauper's look then slutted it up to the max and sang "controversial" songs to keep herself in the spotlight. She's a self-promoter.
