A new fad?

[DJ Ponz]

Someone who is more in touch with nuveau fashion needs to explain to me what this push back to the 80s is. If you walk the streets of Vancouver, you see small boutiques selling moon-boots, shiney plastic shoes, silly T-shirts with comic heroes on them. These little outlets are decorated minimally, with a distinctive futuristic tone. There's one near Boomtown if you don't know what I'm talking about.

And there's the music. Le Tigre, which is gettting a huge underground following - I was only aware of their music as a result of my Japanese friends, but then Telus ran their song "Deceptacon" on their Mobility adds. A cross between the B52s and the Pet-Shop Boys, their music is so bad its funny.

Are we destined to be plastic-clad pac-man players? Is there a name for this kind of fashion/music? Please enlighten and expand on my poor description.

I don't know there was alot of things about the eighties I liked and alot I hated. Miami Vice was wicked...but men wearing vinyl was wrong! I miss some of theclassic 80's tracks though. I have remixed many of them over time!

[sidekick]

the 80's can be wonderful and scary all at the same time.

it's about balance, people.

[mapleleaf4ever]

A very delicate line to walk... unfortunately not many people have quite as keen a balance as we'd like. heh heh heh

fuck, do ANY of your posts have the slightest value?

methinks NO.

and true that my people, balance is key. like when you see cyndi lauper clones, or just trashy whores and you're like "80's chique.. or HOOKER chique?" and you're not quite sure...

ahhh, scary times.

My take on all this retro shit now a days. shoes, clothes etc.. Is that their running our of ideas. lol. Alot of the new shit now a days looks way too ridiculous/cheesy/tryhard. Like some of those $200 soemthing runners u look at them and think. wtf were they thinking when they designed it.
