Why am I so obsessed with the 80's and the 90's?

Asked by Ayesha (6213points) August 24th, 2011

Music and movies from that time are the best i’ve come across. I just feel that the era had a better feel and creativeness to it whenever i finish listening to a song or watching a movie. I’m not in any way criticizing the time we’re living in, just a matter of opinion. Also, I’m strictly talking in terms of music and movies. Do you feel the same way? What are your thoughts?

They were great times for both. I still listen to 90s music more than modern music. It all seemed so original I think is why.

@Blackberry And I thought 80’s music was more original than 90’s music! Lol.

@Ayesha Because you have good taste. : )

Because artistically it was beautiful and the music since then has turned into manufactured plastic-y goo. I think we haven’t had an original thought outside of internet memes since the 90s.

It may depend upon how old you are. If you were a ‘tween or teen at the time, then it would make relatively obvious sense. If your parents were influenced by this era of music, then it might shed some light as to why you like it.

Cause you’re young and thoughs times seem old.

If you’re very young, you might enjoy its vintage appeal. Also, music from the ‘80’s was better in many ways than mainstream music from the ‘00’s on. The lyrics were more artful and had deeper meaning. And singers actually sang instead of relying on auto-tune!
