we need to stop pretending that the 80s didn't suck major shit. quirky semi-unique corporatist slop isn't better than the minimalist thing we have now, you just didn't have to pay rent back then.

What if I just really don't like the aesthetics of the 80s? Now the 90s?? That was a sweet time to not pay rent.

On the one hand, I'm sure I would have hated most things about the Reagan era. Otoh, imagine seeing all the Our Band Could Be Your Life groups in their prime

i'll admit that almost getting into a fight with a random tweaker at like five straight !!! shows was its own special kind of hoot but that didn't make the iraq war suck any less.
