In trying to depict what an 80s redux will be like to my young'uns, less the crackbabies, AIDS, smog, etc., the most profound human recovery will be Freedom, which most kids under 30 don't seem to have an acquaintance with.
Since 9/11, American culture has taken a permanent nosedive: music, film, art, education, everything, and here we are with a clean re-boot handed to us by DJT.
What do you want to bring back? What should we diligently avoid as consequences of freedom and prosperity that half the nation doesn't have the experience or wisdom to handle competently this time around?
After US Middle-class wealth is restored (should take about a year), and circumstances begin looking recognizable again, one of the first things I want to see is REAL music being made again. With actual instruments, no voice-modulators, maybe something like Grisco: grunge you can dance to, heavy on the guitar, moderate on the angst, over-amped on the optimism.
I want to see trade and vocational schools blooming and booming out of deserted office space in forgotten America.
I want film with absolutely no reference to terrorism as the enemy. Only respectable enemies deserve to find themselves as antagonists in film, not the tacky, boring depression radical islam brings to action movies.
Jokes and humor: we have 8 years of Snowflake material to mock, so let's get busy.
How would you build your rendition of the Re-Eighties?
ping and what would you do?
Liberals make better music when they are angry. Hopefully the election of Trump will bring about an improvement in music. I hate rap music..hopefull that will stop soon.
What would I fixate on? Anything having to do with Christ, and let everything else revolve around that.
My fear is that, just like what happened after Reagan, the destructionist left will rebound with ever greater strength.
Look to the pattern of the gains made by the destructionist left during the ‘90s and beyond.
Only fools think the destructionist left is finished as an evil force.
It seems the angry liberals making good music must come from wealthy parents who were/are conservative.
We’ve lost a staggering amount of musical talent the last two years, with no replacements in sight.
SamAdams thinks big hair was a bad idea... you haven’t lived until you’ve spent two hours with a blow-dryer, ratting hairspray and straighteners/curlers every Saturday night!
Amnesty.
Tried that once and it got us 10 times the number of illegal aliens.
The 1986 amnesty bill should never have happened. It single-handedly destroyed the GOP’s future in California.
How'bout just skipping Hollywood's fiction altogther and learning about this place called... Reality Land?

We kicked the Communists arse! YES!
Bell Bottom Bluejeans! Big Hair & Aqua Net, ozone be damned! :)
I don’t WANT to go BACKWARDS, I’d just like to live in a Nation where The Grown Ups are back in charge. That’ll solve a LOT of our problems, right there!
Spankings and a HUGE Reality Check all around for the whiny, wimpy, pampered Snowflakes we’ve raised this past generation.
Yeesh! I’m TIRED of raising other people’s kids!
Only fools think the destructionist left is finished as an evil force.
I wonder how broke, brainwashed millennials will be able to create art decrying a sudden prosperity and freedom they haven’t seen before?
And then... They got elected!
Cocaine, cops, 6th street in Austin but mostly my ex-wife.
The 1986 amnesty bill should never have happened. It single-handedly destroyed the GOP’s future in California.
If DJT moves heavily to States’ Rights, the destructive left will Cloward-Piven the Blue states to death, being denied access in our Red states. We have to heavily isolate the Left, concentrate their destruction until they themselves are consumed by it.
I do hope you’re right, but I’m old enough to remember much the same being said of the original long marchers of the ‘60s and ‘70s with Reagans win.
There’s only so much a POTUS can do. The evil only needs to lay fallow and guard its reserve to come up swinging later... just as it’s done in the past.
Ratt’s ‘Round & Round’ was in my head while I was pondering the return...
I read the fake news that RATM was planning a protest album. Are Morello and de la Rocha still commie ****tards? Bet Michael Moore is producing the album if it’s true.
No way.!! Some of the best music ever! 80's electronic and keyboard infused pop music is the devil's work, hovever.
