ostalgia mostly just wait until the melinials get a bit older and the 90s will come back with a massive force
The 90's are already here, just look round. All the fashion is straight 90's. Hollywood has already started rolling out the nostalgia train with movies like "Dope" and "Straight Outta Compton". Just look at Bruno Mars big video "Celeste" which is a straight homage to "In Living Color". Early 90's hip/hop and gangsta rap nostalgia is off the chain, bro. And if you don't agree, you can eat my shorts.

Take that same premise and have someone travel from 2018 to 1988. Would the culture shock be as prevalent? Sure, his smart phone may not work, and there's no internet. But I just don't think that 30 year difference has as much of an impact as 1985 to 1955 did.
Disagree. Our entire country basically runs on the Internet.

Because there wasn’t anything else to do back then but watch the same stuff over and over. Even in the 90s we were watching 80s movies over and over. Internet wasn’t big. No cellphones. We engrained that stuff in our heads.
It is very hard to watch the same thing over and over nowadays.

There seems to be nostalgia for early-mid 80’s, but not much for the late 80’s.

I was in college during the late 80's. Coming home each summer was a bummer for me cause my girlfriend was 300 miles away. It was a silent time without the internet, iPhones, cell phones, and emails. For me it was handwriting letters and driving them to the USPS. Three days later, my girl received the letters in Texas.
I often imagine how different it would have been 30 years ago to send texts, emails, and sexual pictures to my college sweetheart during the summer break. 2018 makes 1988 look like the Walton's .

I think the nostalgia is really from 1984-1988.
Way early 80's TV and movies still feel like the 70's.
1984-1988 had the over-the-top action movies, the break dancing, Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson, Cyndi Lauper, Duran-Duran, Boy George, Van-Halen (not Van-Hagar) etc.
Jump, Karma-Chameleleon, Footloose, Time After Time, The Reflex, Like A Virgin, Ghostbusters, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, 99 Luftballoons, Sister Christian, Love is a Battlefield, etc. were the #1 songs of that year.
1984:
Beat Street, Breakin', Ghostbusters, Gremlins, The Terminator, Karate Kid, Temple of Doom, Nightmare on Elm Street, Footloose, Red Dawn, Revenge of the Nerds, Sixteen Candles, Police Academy, The Last Starfighter, Purple Rain, Bachelor Party, Missing in Action, Beverly Hills Cop, Commando, Conan, Hot Dog - The Movie, Romancing the Stone, Hardbodies, etc.
1987:
Wall Street, Predator, Lost Boys, Hellraiser, Robocop, Princess Bride, Less Than Zero, Can't Buy me Love, Some Kind of Wonderful, Over the Top, Mannequin, Lethal Weapon, Adventures in Babysitting, Dirty Dancing, Spaceballs, Overboard, Raising Arizona, The Running Man, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Summer School, No Way Out, etc.

Because our current culture has run out of original ideas and they constantly mine the past for them. Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Stranger Things, The A-Team, Robo-Cop, 21 Jump Street, Karate Kid, Alien franchise, Conan The Barbarian, Clash Of The Titans, etc. In five years these idiots will start mining the '90's. I feel like each decade has its own good and bad but 2010-2020 is really looking like a turd in terms of music and cinema and the "nostalgia" is more of a lack of original thought than real respect and admiration of the past.

A lot of movies and music from that decade held up well over time. Especially compared to the 1970s and 1990s.

70's music and cinema>>>>>>>80's music and cinema.

Damn. I at least had a telephone in the late 80s.

Just take look at how incredibly different everything popular was from say 1987-1995...it was 2 different worlds.
Now look at 2010 vs today (the same amount of time passage) and its like the trends haven't changed at all.
Saw this posted a month or so back. Dazed and Confused was released in '93 and set in '76. Would be the same as a movie about high school in 2001 being released today. Minus technology I'm not sure what has changed really. Music and fashion isn't all that different.

Honestly, has technology even changed that much? by the late 90s, the whole country was IM'ing and chatting on America Online. So, yes, while the internet was in it's infancy back then, a vast amount of people were already using a form of social media.
The 80s was all about excess. And that showed primarily in music and fashion, which carried over to tv/film. The 80s (and disco era 70s) are really the only time period that we look back on as being cheesy. People dont consider the 50s or 60s cheesy.
80s pop culture resonates because it's so different, excessive and cheesier than any other era. Nobody seriously looks back and says "wow those outfits and styles are really cool"; the love for the 80s is somewhat tongue in cheek.

Music and movies reached their pinnacle in the 80's across most genres.
It's been downhill ever since.

Yeah, because paddling, hazing traditions, football, and the hippie counter counter culture were alive and well in '01:

I’d say the nostalgia stems from two things: 1) the cooling off after the tumultuous period from 1964-74. 2) The last years before the internet changed life as we knew it “then”. I’d say the real nostalgia extends back and forward a few years and you could define the period from 1975-91 as one “like stretch” and be pretty close to accurate. Definitely some changes in clothing and music during that time period, but life in the US didn’t change all that much from a day to day basis (comparatively speaking to the way we live today) over that time and you didn’t see the radical clash in ideals over that time period that defined the prior 10-11 years.
That allowed for a lot of mindless fun and freedom. Some great music and movies over that time and I’d argue 1989 was about as good a year as ever in film. Terrible time for automobiles and fashion though.
Great time to be a kid (I was born in 1981) but one that’s kind of “between” as noted before.

I think it’s way more simple than what everybody is saying, 10 or 15 years ago the people most influenced by the 80s starting coming into power, started becoming decision makers, started writing all the music and screen plays. 90s kids are getting there now and I’d bet we’re approaching the end of 80s nostalgia. There’s already been a sitcom about the 90s, it won’t be long before it’s everywhere.
Posted on 3/27/18 at 9:33 pm to Jack Ruby
It's their turn in the cycle. In the 90's everyone hated the 80's and glorified the 60's. In another 20 years people will forget about the 80's again and nostalgia for the 2000's.
