Because people who reached adulthood in the 80’s are now in their prime years of productivity and purchasing power. They are often the “trusted” creators who make new IP, so they touch upon what they know out of love and nostalgia. I remember well how the 50’s were “the thing” when I was a kid, and of course the 60’s were all the rage in the 1990’s. Not sure if we nostalged as hard for the 70’s, though (bell bottoms).

Page two hundred and thirty seven of the super heroine in media rule book. Sub-clause seventeen under footwear, section three, height of heel. It’s only a few pages after the very important section on decolletage, for which DC movies has been roundly criticized for ignoring the requirement of at least a D cup or larger in the first Wonder Woman movie. But DC pointed out they negate the clause with additional shots of “legs, lots and lots of legs; she’s got legs and she knows how to use them.”

Maybe not, but That 70’s Show did stay on the air for 8 seasons despite the first episode starting in the year 1976, so some folks out there must have had some significant nostalgia.

Good call, I’d completely forgotten about that show.

I hope that at some point during the ‘70s show everyone gathered around the telly to watch MASH…

Every week without fail. And I well remember the last episode, at which point I was old enough to feel the impact for the first time of losing a media family of sorts.

I meant the characters in That 70’s Show watching MASH within their show.

I dug it a lot, myself; it kept the classic sound while beefing it up, and I liked the way they intertwined the imagery. And I am super okay with this being set in the mid-80s.

Folks who know way more about comic books than me pointed out to me that the bad guy in the movie, Maxwell Lord, has crazy mind control powers. So, we shall see!

Only not. Shame you were looking for a mic drop moment to shut down the conversation in your favor (and an incorrect one at that) instead of offering an opposing viewpoint. Care to say why you disagree?

I’m shutting nothing down. You’re an old person complaining new music is worse than your old music. You’re right, but it’s such a cliche that it deserves to be put down. Now, get off my lawn.

Old is relative and not all people older than you are boomers. There was plenty of this type of thing when I was younger too. My stated position has little to do with thinking that things were magically better when I was a child. I’ve always preferred some level of inventiveness in my corporate media to repetition and blatant pandering.

I’m also a little unclear about why, if as you say you agree with me, that you think it deserves to be put down.

Forgive me if i misunderstood you. Full disclosure, my original “music is good” period runs from “release the bats” to “my favourite dress” or thereabouts. For that whole time I had to listen to men older than me going on about how great led zep were. And men older than that how the new rock’n’roll wasn’t as good as gene vincent and the killer. And you know what, they’re all right. I like this and that is nonsense that is nowhere near as good as this. No more to be said.

I’d say that this complaint comes from you not paying attention now in the way you did then. There si the same level of inventiveness now you’ve just stopped trying to find it.

In other news, rock is such a vampyric medium that if you think something is innovative you just haven’t heard what it’s copying.
