The never ending decade

The 80's is a decade that just won't die. Its still very prevalent in todays society whether it be through music, film, or fashion. I want to talk about how the 80's success just seems to never go away and how its still prevalent in our society.

First I want to talk about music. While the generation is gone, its music isn't. People everywhere are still listening to music from the 80's and feel as though its some of the best music that has ever been made. The amount of songs from the 80's that we still hear in everyday life is amazing. People probably don't realize how much its still on, and just sing to it like its any other tune, but in reality, it plays more than we think. Some of the songs that we still hear a lot today are "I wanna dance with somebody", "Don't stop believing", "living on a prayer", and "push it".

Next I want to talk about the movies. While obviously technology, filming, animation, and SFX, have improved and todays films are generally better filmed, people still love old classics. Not only are the 80's films still viewed today but they are often taken and remade with a modern twist on them. Some of these movies include "Back to the future", "ET","Ghost Busters", and "The Shining".

Finally I want to bring up the fashion. Im sure there are many styles from the 80's that some wished had come, gone, and stayed away, but that isn't the case. Many styles from the 80's are making a comeback and people either love or hate it. Some of these trends that we see very commonly today, which are actually from the 80's include high waisted jeans, power suits, acid washed denim, bomber jackets, and large logos.

Overall the 80's has not only had a huge impact on our lives today but its original glory still lives on. We see so much of it still today and frankly the 80's is truly the decade that will never die.
