Hear-n-Aid
I recently had an interesting conversation with someone who was born in 1987, claiming that the eighties was the best time ever for fashion and music. As someone who was actually fully sentient during that era, and participated in the pop culture of the then current zeitgeist, I then asked him to defend his argument. Realizing that his inspiration comes solely from a recent sojourn to an ever popular eighties dance night and the renaissance of popped collars on pink preppy Polo shirts, it became obvious that selective memory/marketing has allowed these young kids to feast on regurgitated culture of the what is know the 30-40 year olds that are making boardroom decisions. This marketing is what allows young people to get confused and refer to eighties music as a genre and not a time span. What’s most interesting is that the fashion and music that was most prevalent was deemed to be filtered out. Here is a quick reminder of how awesome the eighties really were.
