I hereby declare the 1980s as the absolute worst decade for music and movies.


The 80s had some classic movies: Back to the Future, Die Hard, The Breakfast Club. They also had some classic albums: Michael Jackson's "Thriller", U2's "The Josua Tree", Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A." None of these are enough to save the utterly abysmal decade knows as the '80s.

It's the most dated decade. Who thought synthesizers in music was going to be a good idea? Those awful drum machines weren't pleasant on the ear either. How about those weird lasers you would see in music videos.

80% of the movies had such a boring feel to them with music completely out of place. Gunshots in movies all sounded the same and didn't sound like gunshots at all. Every actor playing a cop had a mustache and were all "loose cannons".

The '80s were not kind to us.

Finally, someone else who doesn't like '80s music.

There are a lot of us who stay quiet because a lot of people have nostalgia for it and we'll get attacked for stating our opinion.

Rock n roll died on January 1st, 1980.

It was definitely the worst decade for movies, but not for music. Not by a long shot.
