This is grim.

Are we in the throes of recreating the 1980s this decade?
So little is cool these days. The 60s were cool, the 70s cool (less so) the 90s were cool, but the 80s remembered for some grim fashions and shocking music.
Maybe some of you saw some of the nostalgic reviews of years and decades past on British TV, like Channel 5's top 50 embarrassing moments of the 80s.
At this rate, come 2020 we'll be making shows lamenting at how appalling tastes were in the 00s.
Simon Cowell said something about expanding The X Factor to incorporate more range of acts. Reminded me immediately of Opportunity Knocks, remember that?
I hope the Olympics more generally has a little more style.

Originally posted by asromacalcioI was just in town shopping with the girlfriend, and some of the crap clothing looks exactly like 1984. Loads of neon colours and that sort of garbage. It's not just the women's clothes either - almost all men's jeans are being done in colours (the light colours, or stonewashed) that were popular in the eighties. The eighties aren't coming back, they're here - and it sucks.
This is grim.

Throw away bands, one hit wonders, stupid movies about stupid people doing stupid things....remind you of another decade??? Like maybe the 80's only with a mean streak? Hell, we even saw the return of Star Search sans Ed McMann (american idol)
Post 80-ism is the only way to describe this decade.
Worst decade ever!

Originally posted by uzlessBlah, like every decade it had it's ups and downs. There has also been cool bands, cool movies, sadly Bush jnr and his cohorts have been spoiling it for everybody else. Ok, other fundamentalists too. Though have to say that "the 80's only with a mean streak" sounds pretty cool 😉

Actually, I like the hair bands. They're pretty cool.
