So unless you are living under a rock, the 80s is back again, in songs and in movies (Wonder Woman 1984).
How do you feel about the 80s getting another push? For reference here are the other waves we have had.
Wave 1 - 2002 - 2009
That 80's show debuts on Fox, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, Vh1 I love the 80s, Vh1
changes their whole network to a 80s centric channel ( Rock of Love, Surreal life)
2005 flash dance style comes back BIG, 80s chunky earings, 2005 Tab soda comes back.
Madonna's whole hung up album & Public affair by Jessica Simpson. 2006 more 80s songs
sampled such as Tainted love in rihanna's SOS. Lady Gaga and Katy Perry use 80s aesthetics
and references for fashion and songs. This era focused more on early-mid 80s. ALF returns
as a TV LAND host. Hulk Hogan returns to WWF/WWE in 2002. 80s plug and play video game
systems become a thing. Adidas track suits come back during this era as well.
Sample of 80s setting troupe in music videos in the early to mid 2000s
Wave 2 - 2010 - 2014
Almost every electropop song now has some 80s influence, More movies set in the 80s.
Neon jeans at apex, Jerk movement shows a colorful 80s vibe. 80s fonts used in ads.
TMNT reboot. The goldbergs. This era focused more on the late 80s. Vapor wave now
more apparent then ever during this ever.
Now the 80s in general has never really gone away but it seems to being ramping up again into another "wave"
there has been some bubbling like Stranger Things setting and whatnot, but now it seems the 80s is in full force
again.
