Its true what my parents used to always tell me, "fashion, music & trends always do a 360".
Its funny how its usually every 2 decades. In the early 90's, it was all about the 70's, bell bottom pants, suits, platforms, & dee-groovy disco-house sounds in da clubs with people like DEEE-LITE, CECE PENISTON, & ZHANE' holding royal court.
If u wore bell bottoms anytime during the 80's after like 1981, u were made fun of. lol.🙂
Now, 20rys later from the 80's, the millenium has arrived, & although its taken a slower pace, I beleive we have FINALLY got to that state where just about "anything goes" in music & fashion, - just like da 80's.
I noticed it started happening in 2001 (I wrote about it @ www.Freestylemusic.com).
Today, u can go out wearing those 80's low-cut ruffle skirts that Paris Hilton rocks, with hot-pink pumps & black-lace sox, & a glove only on one hand, & it looks kool.
BUT, if u wore this, lets say in 1997 or so, you would be mocked! lol.
Back then we had "FAME", "FLASHDANCE", "PURPLE RAIN", & "BEAT STREET", while today we have
"Center Stage", "Honey", "Glitter", & "You Got Served".
Plus remakes, or reruns of the 80's movies & tv shows.
Shows were hott like:
"SOLID GOLD", "AMERICAN BANDSTAND", "STAR SEARCH", & "SOUL TRAIN", & today we have TRL, American Idol, & yup, Star Search & Soul Train.
(Star Search resurfaces).🙂
Many 80's artists are back.
& Their songs are either remade or sampled majorly by todays artists.
The oldskool hip-hop/dance-funk, & Electro-Breakdance/Freestyle, & new wave-punk sounds are ganering lots of attention.
Either people searching "Rabidly" for the original artists music of the past, or thirsting for new songs & sounds by todays artists who use this music.
The fashion trends are back.
Yes these styles were fun & funky, & some so horrible we would love to forget, - lol, - but the truth is, they are here.
Even the make-up, & dance moves.
Since the millenium to present day, there is a high demand for re-issues of toys, cartoons, movies, products, & logos, from the 80's.
Many have made themselves present again, while others are being viciously fought for at eBay.
VH-1, Ryan Seacrest, & other places have been constantly showing support for the decade, showcasing the best & worst of it, as well as using the songs, even for commercials.
All in all, anything goes these days, & the 80's are definately getting their 1st turn at their 360 flashback,- which (call me corny), but it is something I have personally been waiting for almost throughout the entire 90's), & now it is finally here.
In my eyes, it is still 1983/84 for 2004, so maybe by 2005-07 it will be real freestyle time for the millenium. Lets hope we make it there.
Things seem so different & smoother these days, yet so familiar, its wierd.
I just hope this decade brings the best to all of us, & lets us reminsce the best of our beloved 80's decade, in new eyes that we can share with everyone, especially those who werent really there (like your kids, etc).
For those who were there, they were the times of our lives!
If u read this, thanks. -lol.
Just be ready to dust off & wear ur B-boy windbraker outfit & Pumas, & girls get ur hot pumps & glitter hairspray, cuz we already here!
mad luv,
