I won't consider the 80's to have returned until I hear the roar of electric guitars.
Kyrie eleison! No! '80's metal bands were the nadir of rock-and-roll. Until Metallica revived the idiom, heavy metal was dead as an art-form. But fortunately the '80's weren't about youth-culture. They were the only decade since the '40's that weren't: the '80's were about imitating Old Money. Hence the revival of classic-styled clothing, the penchant the general populace developed for well-engineered automobiles, and the sudden general availability of *real* gourmet food and genuinely good restaraunts throughout the US (though it took until about 2 years ago for arugula to be readily available in Kansas).
