Nostalgia for 80s musician appearance

Listened again. And I ask what the gun for.

Comments express desire for musicians to retain their 80s looks: “Please stay looking like you did in the 80s.” Posts reference preferring skinny, cheekboned rock stars (“I want my young rock and roll stars skinny. With cheekbones.”), contrast modern performers as “twenty something bearded care bears,” and note changes in youth habits (“Kids these days just aren't doing coke and smoking two packs a day like they used to.”).

But by doing that they unwittingly started the entire fragmentation and heat death of rock by inviting in post-grunge. Something that, I may add, has WAY more damaged rock music (even though it's not their fault) than anything Eminem did by inspiring some annoying white rappers on YouTube

I agree with that. Emerging in the mid-90s, they seemed almost aggressively, provocatively gentle. In that era's climate, they were right out on a limb.

Work-related query: am I right in thinking that Sainsbury's at one point used the theme tune to thirtysomething in its adverts?

I wonder what it tells us about brain ageing and the reconfiguring of neurons, that I found myself humming the opening titles for the kids TV show Jimbo and the Jet Set just now. I don't think i've thought about, or heard the music from, that show for years.

Certainly can't fault their commitment to 70s revivalism and visual/stagecraft resplendence

When were they noted in Australia? They came to Indonesia c 1994 and I had their greatest hits, just when I started learning classical guitar (in retrospect not an easy path). Just few years ago I knew they were actually French.

I'm trying to think of other artists that had the same fascination - Alice in Chains?
I think there should be a ban on people whose music I like visually ageing. Please stay looking like you did in the 80s....

That's good too. I think the first time I heard them I saw the video to sex type thing and was thinking oh this is different. They had a lot of range. It's all so different. That song is almost Beatlesesque.
I know it's wonderful we don't body shame as much as we used to... however... I want my young rock and roll stars skinny...
"I know it's wonderful we don't body shame as much as we used to... however... I want my young rock and roll stars skinny. With cheekbones. Not these twenty something bearded care bears every act seems to have nowadays. Tom Verlaine never stood about grinning with little chubby rosy cheeks."

Can’t wait to not listen

LITERALLY in the same vein as Fox being like 'what are some good thoughts to have for beginners, I've never had one before', Sterling's like 'what are some good songs for people who don't like noise, it overwhelms me' or something to that effect. I mean maybe not the same but still
"Listened again. And I ask what the gun for."

They need to bring em back. These kids bad nowadays.
