I currently have two teenage children. Therefore I get to listen to my fair share of currently popular music. Recently this has led me to believe that the music from my teenage years was far superior to the music of today. To prove my point I decided to post links on Twitter to 40 video clips from my teenage years (1983-1989).
When I put the clips together I did have a few moments of doubt. Especially when I focused on the quality of the video clips over the quality of the music. Was the music I listened to in the 80s superior to the music of today? Was music just better in the 80s? Generally … No. But I listen to heavy metal. And heavy metal has always been better than everything else.
That’s still my belief. Let’s see what you think after viewing my 40 metal video clips from the 80s. Enjoy?
