I love this 80s revival stuff.
Tame Impala, Neon Indian, Ariel Pink, John Maus, the list goes on.
But were the 80s actually that good? What artists are these guys inspired from? Were they actually good, or do contemporary acts bring it to a better level?

80's was shit
It's all aesthetic with new inspired stuff
Pretty much just using equipment from the 80's but with alot more modern progression

Like every nostalgia trip it just selects the best things from the time period to improve upon history. None of those 80s synth bands have an album that's decent all the way through except Violator.

A lot of synthpop groups plus modern inspiration such as glitching and such. Neon Indian grouped in a mix tape with a few albums and I'd guess he drew inspiration from those bands

Some pretty good picks on there actually.

Tame Impala is more 60s revival than 80s revival

The band Lucius is pretty fucking good for this. Only one album though.
