Question for oldfags: when do you think the 80s pop culture really ended?

I was born in 1995 so I don't remember the 80s, or even the 90s. 2000-2007 was my time, though I did like a lot of older stuff.

I've heard most people say it was when Nirvana released Nevermind in 1991, and hair metal died, but I've also heard some say things like "the 80s lasted until 1995". Saying 95 is an 80s year sounds like it's stretching it too fucking far if you ask me.
>>
>>72033204
I literally cannot, it's a perfect movie.

>>72033933
Also this.

For me it's pic related, which also counts as my favourite movie ever.
But seriously, was there a better time in movie history than the 80's? I don't wanna be a le 80's kid, but goddamn, everywhere you look, blockbuster action, romantic comedies, horror, sci-fi, raunchy teen comedies, musicals, cartoons, thrillers, arthouse dramas, everything was inventive and iconic.
>>
Im going to watch this right now.
>>
>>72034281

Oldfag here.

IMHO, The 80's went from 83 to 94. The 90's went from 95 to 20005. The early 80's were just too tainted with the 70's. Also, despite Nirvana/White Zombie coming in, the 80's stink didn't wear off until 95.

Was just thinking of this the other night, of how decades don't exactly match up 01 -09. Influences of the previous decade really have to fade.

I also believe that whatever decade started in 2005...we're still fucking in it.
>>
>>72034281
Popular "Rock" music for the 80s and much of the early 90s was hairband inspired. Grunge killed the whole phony glam style and brought more edge.

Indeed, it twangs the valves of the heart with a powerful sense of longing.
Their unabashed slaughter of fan favourites gave it so much more merit and substance than any kids movie before or since, even if their motives were simply to push a new line of toys- at the end of the day kids dont need to be treated like retards. I was blown away by this shit.

The big generational cutoff IMO is when you first got internet. There are those of us who distinctly remember writing papers using exclusively @home or @library paper resources and those of us that don't. Prodigy/AOL/local media Encarta CDs were where things shifted. Everybody that grew up after that point is a massive newshit that should be summarily gassed.

Not the best, but definitely the most 1980s movie ever made.

It captures the fashions, attitudes, the centrality of late night television and excessive wealth. It has a fucking punk named O.D. in it. How can anyone not love Terrorvision?

Plus it's only like 80 mins. It never overstays its welcome.
