    I really love 80s rock music. To me it still sounds as good today as when it did as a wee boy. Here, my mate grew up living next door to the drummer in this video: https://youtu.be/6dOwHzCHfgA

    You know, I bet sometime soon there is a 80s rock revival kind of thing in popular music, it's far too good for the trend to not come around again. I'll be at the front of the crowd wearing spandex embarrassing my kids.

      Editing … I just wish kids would come up with their own new music that is actually good and authentic. There is no life in regurgitating things you do not truly fully feel or understand. Kids now can never understand 80s rock because they can never know the 80's no matter how many 80's movies of music they watch and listen to. I can’t even understand the 80’s because I was born just after. Young people can certainly enjoy 80 music and appreciate it and be inspired by it but it can never return like it did because the 80's are dead.

      Editing … I wonder why there is so little decent new music now. Have people become lazy in this society and find it easier to just copy? Ask anybody the greatest 100 songs ever. Not a single person will put a new song in there. You get the odd flash here and there but modern music just isn't as good generally. Technology and auto tune probably plays a part too. Look at the biggest stars of the 2010s and compare them to the biggest stars of the 1980s lmao, they aren't even in the same league. Is creativity dead? Is it a problem in society? Am I totally wrong and just old?

      Editing … Maybe it's because of the fact that a lot of people are quite concerned with their public image. If you are too concerned with what people think and just want to be liked by a lot of people you will probably play it safe and make things that have already had success. I also think that to make great music you need to let go of your ego a bit and that is not easy in the culture we have now. I am sure there are musicians out there making some insanely innovative music but they also probably have trouble getting noticed because they might not fit into an established category. The audience has also changed and mostly young people get exposed to music through tiktok and what you see on tiktok is mostly songs that are already very popular and not that challenging to listen to. When I think back to the early 2000's and 90's there were just so many artists making music that was very unique and relevant. There was just a sense of progression in that time. Lots of creativity. I just think there is a lot of stagnation now. It will loosen up again someday I think. Maybe the times just need to change.

      Editing … lol I cannot imagine what it would be like if artists like Ozzy Osborne were obsessed with their likes and followers. That would be insanely funny because it does not fit his vibe at all.

      Editing … Imagine him posing on Instagram :D Funny story when the mrs was little she lived in London down the same street as Hagrid from Harry Potter and some lady out of Eastenders TV show, it was a posh part of London. Anyway, there was a pub on the corner and Ozzy used to go in now and then. My father in law said he used to be drugged off his tits and just sit there staring into space

      Editing … Do you guys remember the 80s? To me it wasn't the best decade. We lived in a council house on a rough estate. It was a real community though and I have lifelong friends but life was all a bit shit overrall compared to today. We had no central heating, no double glazing - we would wake up with ice on the inside of the window. Nobody had any money and we were all the same. The 90s were when people started getting a bit of money, more jobs became available. But saying that, things changed when people got more money. Bullying became more of a thing and peer pressure to have nice clothes etc. I guess the 80s were better than the 90s if you had enough money to live well and afford a house. Society seemed better to me, but I was just a kid and I'm relying on memories. The 90s were definitely better than today though, I know that for a fact. 80s films were the best too.

      Editing … I wasn't born in the 80's but I've always had a distaste for everything 80s but I'm starting to warmup to it now (still can't stand 80's sax though). Your description sounds like early 90's too. But I also know the bullying for not having nice things. I had a rusty pink bike that I loved but the kids at school thought I should feel bad about the fact that is was rusty and old. (rusty bikes are the best though, they never get stolen) Clothes also. Huge deal then but still is I guess. Maybe even more so now.

      Editing … I know kids from the 80s that never had a bike and can't ride one. We'd never bully a kid for having an old bike back in the day. I wonder what life was like in the 50s and 60 when my parents grew up? Was bullying such a thing? It's massive now, with mobile phones and internet you either fit in or get bullied at school. It's kinda sad because I can't give Isabella advice, I just don't know how to deal with modern school cunts. And I don't want her to bend to fit in, I want her to be herself like we got the freedom to be.

      Editing … In fact back in about 1992 I got an old BMX bike, it was a wreck. I did it up and sprayed it black with spray paint and I wrote on the frame in silver paint "pills thrills and bellyaches" because I saw it in a motorcyle magazine on a harley or something. Everybody loved that bike, you just have to mention it in whatsapp and everybody remembers.
