There is just over 17 months until the start of the new decade and '80s nostalgia is seemingly still going strong, despite the fact that the year 1980 is almost 40 years ago. It makes you wonder how much longer '80s nostalgia will last in the mainstream. I personally think there will still be a significant amount of '80s nostalgia in the 2020s, especially given the fact that the recent trend of reviving old franchises has shown no signs of slowing down.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think '80s nostalgia will remain prevalent throughout the 2020s or do you believe it will gradually decline in the next few years?

It's hard to say for sure. I suppose the '80s have a particularly enduring nostalgic appeal because of how fantastically exotic they are, whereas the '90s are mostly a little more subdued. I would not be surprised to see a serious uptake in Y2K era nostalgia coming into the 2020s, though.

There's no real way of determining how long '80s nostalgia will last, but given how strong '80s nostalgia still is, I would be willing to suggest that it will remain in the mainstream for quite some time to come. Speaking of nostalgia for the Y2K-Era, I've actually started to notice an overall increase in appreciation for the era in recent months. Just last week, a breakfast TV-program here had a "retro-themed" day based on the year 2000, with the hosts/panelists dressing in stereotypical Y2K-fashion and bubblegum-pop star Nikki Webster performed on the show. The Top-40 stations in my local area have also began to play Late '90s/Early 2000s songs far more regularly. I actually heard "Absolutely Everybody" by Vanessa Amorosi on the radio this morning and it has been years since I last heard it played on the radio. I can definitely see nostalgia for the Y2K-Era increasing over the next 12-18 months, especially when songs such as "Baby One More Time", "All The Small Things" and "Genie in a Bottle" turn two decades old.

I can see 1980s (and to a lesser extent, 1990s) nostalgia continuing to be a thing in the mainstream for some time to come. As for Y2K nostalgia, I definitely think that's going to be a big thing in Sydney during September 2020!

It will be interesting to see how the networks commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

1950s nostalgia was still strong in the 2000s, so it might just take that long.

I have a passion for many of the songs and in particular extended remixes.  This set is one I just made and it's not just the great songs but the different extended versions seamlessly put together. I've made this available for anyone to download from Sendspace. DOWNLOAD

it started in 98 with the Wedding Singer on an un subconscious level, but it arrived officially in 2002 with That 80s show & Vh1's I love the 80s, GTA Vice city

A big part of '80s nostalgia is that first you had Gen X reflecting on it in their pop culture works (I might point to Adventureland and The Way, Way Back as the prototypical examples of movies with '80s nostalgia), and now you have Millennials (the Duffer brothers, etc.) contributing their own interpretation.
But yeah, it's still going strong:

I thought that we were done for good with the 1980s once we passed the 2010s and everyone would have grown sick of it, but nope. Quite the opposite, 2020 seems to be even more aggressive and pandering with 80s aesthetics than any year of the '10s so far. It doesn't even make any sense at this point, that decade is now 40-31 years old. It's greatly time to move on.
I'm so tired of it.

I mean, the 80s were overwhelmingly nostalgic for the late 50s/early 60s, so were are in the same situation as that. I think for the 2020s, it will be mainly 2000s nostalgia and also 90s.
