Why is 80s music objectively superior to music of today?
I've done mixes of one-hit wonders of the 80s for sound systems at parties, and hundreds of people of all ages love the music more than modern music.

>OMG THE 80’s WERE SO FREAKING COOL!
James Bailey
Most likely you're cherry-picking the good songs from that era and not the countless bad ones and people always tend to think the past was better than the present.
William Campbell
Modern music is better, it's more diverse.
The reason 80's music is so "good" is because it's all been sifted through there's so many forgotten artists in the 80s people only remember what's good.
Luis Rogers
The thing about the 80s is that it had the best pop music.
Other decades had GOAT music as well, just not usually pop music.
Ryan Torres
I wouldn't wager that of the late 80s. Total fucking wasteland.
Chase Hernandez
I don't think the 80's is "better" but i do love the mainstream sound of the 80's more than any other decade
Jace Evans
That's funny because many people dislike 80s music production.
>wind tunnel sound
>snare reverb
>squeal guitars
>everything is processed to being laboratory-slick
>women sound like chipmunks
>dudes sound like they were castrated at 13
>synths instead of real backing instruments

Nah the 80s had lots of crooner-style male singers and they've all but disappeared.
Blake Watson
I don't agree. The late 80s was a strong period for pop, Madonna's peak material came out at this time and Jody Watley, Martika, Janet Jackson, Whitney, Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine, and Paula Abdul all swept the charts with great songs. Prince was still making good songs, and Michael Jackson's Bad album came out in '87. Robert Palmer released "Simply Irresistible" in '88, and Peter Gabriel's "Slegehammer" was an '86 release.
The late 80s was not bad; however, I would say that by this period a lot of the music did become way too poppy. The experimentation of the New Wave era had fizzled out and what replaced it was far more generic and didn't bring anything new to the table.

80s power ballads are the peak of music, they're incredibly accessible, soulful, and heartfelt, it's everything modern pop music wishes it was.
Anthony Garcia
in what sense is synth not a real instrument?

Neck yourself, kid. The 2000s called and want their shitty production back.
Isaiah Edwards
I love Cuckgau's intro to Consumer Guide to the '80s which is 25% about the music and 75% whining about every political thing during the decade he didn't like.
Luke Russell
lyl why are you shocked? P4k still pushes the notion to this day that the 80s were an absolute dark age musically and politically where the only light was a couple of alternative/punk groups. basically the only acceptable music had to be complaining about Reagan/Thatcher, had a woman singer, or was made by some junkie in Soho.

They were pretty hard in the early 80s not the MTV pop rock stuff most people know.

"After I'd made it and could afford a mansion in Los Angeles, I remember sitting down by the side of the pool trying to pen the next teen angst anthem and drawing a complete blank."
Daniel Green
The thing is that the shit that was played on the radio was so much better. There are so many memorable pop songs it's crazy. 90s had its fair share of those two, while theres less memorable pop shit from 2000s while this decade has what... Gangnam Style? Uhh.. a Lorde song?

Christopher Flores
The 80s was many things and you'll get a skewered view depending on who you ask. If you asked Eddie Trunk, the 80s was Dio/Maiden/Metallica/Crue/Ozzy, if you asked Chris Ott, it was U2/REM/Replacements/Pixies, if you asked some black dude, it was MJ/Prince/Run DMC/LL Cool J. If you asked /hm/ it was Madonna/Janet/Sheena Easton.
Ryan Bailey
No.

Decade saw a _lot_ of new studio technology appear. The difference between 1980 and 89 was quite huge.
