Is their a more patrician decade than the 80's? It is pretty much undeniably THE decade for experimental, underground, and alternative music Just look at all these artists who released amazing albums during this decade: Talking Heads, the Cure, the Smiths, Devo, Minutemen, Flipper, Daniel Johnston, Pixies, Oingo Boingo, PiL, Violent Femmes, Joy Division, Meat Puppets, Red Hot Chili Peppers, They Might be Giants, Sonic Youth, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Clash, Swans, Big Black, Melvins, XTC, The The, the Cramps, Black Flag, Tom Waits, Descendents, Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, Jesus and Mary Chain, Bauhaus, the Feelies, REM, the Specials, Madness, the Fall, Aksak Maboul, and these are just off the top of my head Artists that were popular in the 70's didn't adjust well to the 80's, I understand that, and there is a lot of shit from the 80's, but in this case the good far outweighs the bad. The "alternative" music of the 90's was mostly just made up of people ripping off the less popular music of the 80's. I don't think there has ever been as innovative of a decade as the 80's. How can so many plebs pretend that the 60's, 90's and 2000's were better?
Between Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire, the Straight Story, and even Elephant Man, I'd say he has way more than two hits

Yea but the wonderful thing about living in this day and age is we get to filter out all the bad and hear the good. And the good in the 80's is far greater than the good in most other decades.
Logan Gray
Eraserhead and Blue Velvet Literally shut the fuck up about Twin Peaks, don't even start.

I don't like rock music (your list features it for the most part).
I prefer the 90s for the electronic music, and the 60s and 70s for the jazz, funk, and (actual) avant-garde stuff. Electronic music and "experimental" music in the 80s was utter crap. Also the pop music was extremely lacking also, as mentioned above.
Brandon Lewis
t. hasn't actually watched any of the other films I mentioned, outside of maybe Mulholland Drive Twin Peaks is acclaimed for a reason, that show is a treasure

>The "alternative" music of the 90's was mostly just made up of people ripping off the less popular music of the 80's as opposed to post-punk acts appropriating black music like funk and dub and industrial and noise rock bands ripping-off and watering-down avant-garde composers from decades earlier? lol
Parker Lee
Not even him, but how about you start with Twin Peaks. Let's hear why it's so horrible.
Elijah Mitchell
The mere existence of 80s glam aesthetics makes me wanna punch your opinions in the face.
Jeremiah White
Influences are different than ripping off. Pretty much all major 90's bands just took the exact same sounds of the bands from the 80's before them. All those that you mentioned made something new out of the old. 90's alt acts took the old and did it again.
Ethan Brooks
What does it feel to have actual shit taste?
Lucas Ramirez
No that would be the 70s
Jacob Lopez
Is this the nu-male thread?

you're just objectively wrong. the 80s are the weakest fucking decade in so many different fields. movies blew. fashion blew. music was just a'ight
fashion
70s > 60s > 80s
music
60s > 70s > 80s
movies
70s > 80s > 60s
Grayson Lee
>hurr hurr I only know popular music
Zachary Hernandez
>talking about movies and fashion on a music board I didn't mention anything about either, just about the music
That just settles it then. Why did you even bother replying? At least make your baits funny and original.

Oh boy >can't come up with a criticism >uses reddit for one >uses reddit as a synonym for bad because he wants so desperately to fit in on Sup Forums the door is that way
Easton Johnson
>he thinks all his arbitrary rankings are objectively correct Kek
twin peaks is great nerd, wah its popular its ssshit
Chase Johnson
80's is by far the best decade, new wave is amazing, synth pop had some real gems (early OMD is where its at), minimal synth is great, almost everything on 4AD,noise pop, post punk, hardcore

only thing worse than the 80s is modern 80s revivalism
