Feel bad and keep consuming their vapid content, as it always has been with pretty much all nostalgia bait.

Most of this was true for the 1880s.

Aids, football violence, catastrophic unemployment. Great fun in the UK. Is the target demographic those just too young to remember it?

There's that and people who were kids then and have simply enjoyed comfortable enough lives that they ever needed to reflect on that decade. Some of it also seems to be an American thing. I never see similar levels of nostalgia for this decade among Brits.

You don't miss the 80s you miss being a kid and a time before adult responsibilities.

As someone who grew up in the 80s, I can confirm. I wasn't even conscious of politics being a thing until the fall of the Berlin Wall and even then really didn't pay attention to politics until second or third year in University, by which point it was 2001. 1/2

So naturally I find out about things like the U.s supporting death squads and Guatemala and El Salvador as well as the AIDS crisis, etc. Even reading about music in the 1980s, especially with regards to Britain, was a good introduction to Thatcherism and its social effects. 2/2

If those kids were real and the same age now, they'd be doing all the things that this nostalgic bollocks complains about. The people who produce these things are utterly terrified of change.

Your 80s or the current media take on what the 80s were?

Fuck the 80’s. That’s when all this shit started.

If it means going back to a time with zero diversity count me out!

Ingest more lead?

Just get in your friend's Camaro

the 80s were fucking shite lets be honest

American nostalgia. Need to slap "Two Tribes" or "Small Town Boy" or sod it, even "Money's too tight to mention" over that video.
