All these little fake whiney bands like Maroon 5, Simple Plan and Boy Like Girls and all these other pussies that dare call themselves rock bands. That's why I like 80's rock so much, because they rocked! Hardcore, in-your-face, head-banging rock! The way rock is supposed to be! Not a bunch of girlish dudes with high whiney voices bitching about a bunch of bullshitr. It downright blapshamey.

Instead of body-building, masculine men who would defend their girl with their life, they want whiny little queers who talk with an exceptionally exaggerated lisp and try to act like girls more than girls themselves do. The term "hunk" is pretty much dead now.

I agree with you. They were great. I still have all their CDs. Robert Smith is still bringing stuff out but I don't think he has been able to recapture what The Cure did in the 80s. Wish was their last great album in my book.

80s90sboy87 6 years 5 months ago Posts: 376	Well, I can't really "miss" anything, as i don't remember the 80's, but things I like most about 80's music is definitely the synthesizers and the synth bass lines that so many 80's songs had, the drum machines (roland tr-808, linn etc), the fashion, the big hair....yeah. I guess Techno did exist in the 80's, but mostly underground, and it didn't sound like techno of today (duh), but you did have stuff like synthpop, electro, a lot of rock, pop, funk and r&b had techno-like electronic sounds.

Magus 6 years 5 months ago Posts: 165	I've said it before and I will say it again, music in the 80's was just more fun. Concerts were fun to go to because the bands were so into the music. Many bands now just kind of stand there and act like it is to much work to even play their music. Boring.
