What Was Old Is New Again

What is it about the 1980s, they just don't seem to go away. I have been hearing about goingBack To The '80s for a while now. "People are nostalgic about the 1980s. Every post-World War II decade has gone through a romantic revival, so why not the '80s? "

The icons, fashions and attitudes of the '80s are back .

In a recent edition of her CNBC talk show, Tina Brown complained: 'I feel like I've been living in some kind of 1980s time warp.' The 1980s were not a bad decade for Ms. Brown, who sat atop New York society from her perch at Vanity Fair. So it was unexpected to hear her continue, lamenting the flashback, 'Is this getting old already?' If you didn't enjoy the cultural tropes of 20 years ago, you may share Ms. Brown's frustration.
Donald Trump, the embodiment of '80s excess and absurdity, is a reality megastar. CBS launched its November sweeps lineup with a 'Dallas' reunion. A telemovie about life behind the scenes at rival 'Dynasty' has been shot by ABC. A full-blown 'Dallas' feature is also in the works, along with a remake of 'The A-Team,' currently being scripted by James Bond maestro Bruce Feirstein. And Jamie Foxx may pair with Colin Farrell to revive the 'Miami Vice' franchise on the big screen."

For me the 80s where about music, It was New York, it was the 1980s, and hip-hop was being born: "back then, cool was all about having the right flavour and savoir faire . Such a style blended a certain brand of rebelliousness with a casual nonchalance. It was a cocky confidence that was meticulously updated by a perpetual pursuit of an alternative, yet distinctive, sensibility. Cool permeated the scene. Kool Herc, LL Cool J, Kool Rock Ski and Kool Moe Dee were but a few of the countless numbers who added the word cool to their street, graffiti, DJ, MC, and break-dancer names. But cool back then went beyond the Kangols, Adidas, gold chains, monikers. It went much deeper. It wasn't about being in a fashion show, going double platinum, or selling the next urban brand. Cool was about survival. It was about strength, pride, courage, and a fierce love for self. "

Now that I'm older Funk and rare grooves is more of my taste. My compilation of rare grooves includes popular sounds during the '80s that had of its emphasis on danceable, funky grooves, jazz-funk. This type of music became highly popular in the British underground music scene (where it was known as 'rare groove') when it was rediscovered during the mid- to late '80s. The especially hardcore funk fanatics spend much of their waking hours searching for something called "rare groove". The rare grooves include heavy and obscure tracks that are being used by Hip Hop producers & also highlights tunes yet to be unearthed. This is a sophisticated and rare experience of Funk and rare grooves. It is a must for 80s classy clubbers.
