80′s music is gone…

I don’t really remember the 80′s. I grew up in the 90′s. But my father loved 70′s and 80′s music, and he got me hooked at a very young age. I just call it all 80′s music though, as I don’t always actually know the difference as I wasn’t alive in the 70′s.

In any case I am writing this short piece to protest the move away from the 80′s made by radio stations at the beginning of this year. “80′s, 90′s and now” suddenly became “90′s, 2-k and today” overnight, as if the difference between 31 Dec ’09 and 1 Jan ’10 obsoletes a whole decade worth of music.

So now if I want 80′s music I have to go to “oldies” stations that play 60′s – 80′s music. The only problem with these is that they tend towards oldie rock or oldie pop without a good mixture between them.

2010 killed radio. There, I said it. =)
