(*stands on soapbox*) People who want the 80s back either *specifically* want the bad shit back, like freely getting to drop the N-word and other slurs, like certain demographics being too socially oppressed to EVER see the light of day. Or they want to be a child again and not think about anything.
They want the simplicity of never worrying about their next meal because mom had it in the oven (and it was meatloaf). Of never having to think about anything because there were adults making all the decisions, they just had to enjoy summer break. No worries about "bad music". ... just Meat Loaf.
