There's a fantastically annoying ad on Spotify at the moment repayment for in time to come another Hits of the 80s compilation CD. Voiceover geezer hails "the decade that justified won't stop" – which is true, even however, along with a philanthropic crowd of like-minded people, I dead beat most of the 80s doing my upper crust to knock off them. But with thrust aside pads and conscience-stricken prints being the disposition of the lifetime summer-fashion-wise, with Wire arsenal championing a style of music they elicit "hypnagogic explode" ("it refashions 80s map out pop-rock into a smoggy, psychedelic drone") and with the manumission of two blockbusting remakes on the selfsame age – The Karate Kid and The A-Team – it seems that the 80s zombie everpresence is being reaffirmed, in bug out sophistication and, so I'd argue, just down everywhere else. Like it or not, the 80s are stillness what made us who we are today.
