Are you guys even old enough to remember the 80s?? Or is this vicarious appreciation??![]()
I confess... the 80s is my music era. GenX.

when i try the youtube thingy it says error...so wtf...this way a new window can be opened and you can listen to all these fantastic 80's tunes and continue to read the thread lol.
at the beginning of the 80's the change in music was like a breath of fresh air. i loved 60's and 70's music and all and it was really meaningful and everything but ya know if i hadda listen to stairway to heaven one more fucking time i thought i was gonna die. so like then the 80's come along and the music is really stupid, like anti- anti-establishment or something. like there is no more meaning, just stupidity. party on dude.

The song that really irritates me is "Hotel California". I swear I hear that song FAR too much. It really flips a switch and I just want to throttle someone. I mean, how many times do I have to hear it?????? I 'spose that would be my version of Hell. Small room with a radio that only plays "Hotel California".Originally Posted by Blaze
Heresy! I didn't feel that 80s music is all stupid or insipid...! Perhaps I'm biased though -- those songs all hearken back to my (mostly) blissful youth and I kinda bathe in nostalgia. I can't really be objective I guess, there's just too many feelings attached to many of those songs. First love, first heartbreak, first formalwear, etc.so like then the 80's come along and the music is really stupid, like anti- anti-establishment or something. like there is no more meaning, just stupidity. party on dude.

Guess I never really thought too much about it. I mean, how could *my* era be cheesy and meaningless...?? But you're probably right. It was just mostly catchy and in some cases sappy and adolescent. I'm OK with that. Perhaps that's why we GenXers are mostly about "whatever" when it comes to active counterculturism. Mostly it's more of a "leave me alone to do my thing" kinda vibe.

Open this to find the a youtube example:

Look to the right side of the youtube page.
See the big SUBSCRIBE button?
Look down, to see two fields of url addresses
The fist one says "URL", and in this case, it is
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_1LcJ6N9vwo
Notice how short it is.
That is what you want to copy and past into the youtube tags
