Feeling a bit of an 80s thing right now. Jesus Christ you baby boomers. You grew up in the 1950s, all industry and productivity and abundance (and unchecked racism, sexism, and cold war terror), and THEN you got the 1960s, unheralded change, motion, sexual freedom, drugs, Godard, Psych, Soul, and space travel (and the draft). When the 50s repeated themselves in the 80s, things seemed fairly optimistic. And then we got the 90s. Now as much as I love Pavement and email…
So if the 1990s (and pretty much everything that has followed) was a bit of a letdown, fukk it, we’ll always have the 80s. Here’s some visual-story telling as it relates to certain Audio narratives/myths in the 1980s. Feel free to discuss.
