1980s

The 1980s is the decade that is known to never die.  In class, we were shown a video of the top 10 songs from the decade and they were all familiar songs.  While I personally did not know all of the songs due to growing up around R&B, oldies, and hip hop, I still recognized a few.  This is due to how catchy each song is.  They were also all songs that are repeatedly played on different sorts of media, causing them to be known nationwide.  I believe that the catchiness of these songs allows them to be played over and over, and will simply allow the 80s to never die.  While I was not raised around people who listen to this music by choice, nor do I, I have no problem with this age living on. I always like to sing along with the little bits and pieces of these songs that I know, and I slightly enjoy it.  I believe that some of these songs will live on for longer than others, but with our world, they will all inevitably die out one day, causing the 80s to die.

  1. I like how you mentioned how you don't need to know entire songs to just be able to sing catchy parts/ choruses. I am impressed with how these songs make their way into our world, even if not formally introduced.

  2. I definitely agree with what you stated about most of these songs become familiar as soon as you hear a certain line or the chorus.
