I enjoy listening to Colin Young's mix of 70s funk and disco.
But I should probably stop, since I'm not old enough to remember it properly the first time round, therefore am only capable of appreciating it in a really superficial, context-free kind of way.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying music/film from an era you weren't around for.
The problem is with identifying with it like you were there the first time and getting all nostalgic about shit you never experienced first hand. Nobody that had to put up with cassette tapes actually wants cassette tapes back. They were shit.

The ones who define popular culture for kids now grew up in the 80s.
If they will keep banging on about how great that decade was, how nothing of note has been invented since, and remaking and rebooting cartoon and toy franchises over and over, hardly surprising that the Young Uns start to buy into it all.

But for the true 80s experience, perhaps all these dullards should stop using social media altogether, since IT DIDN'T FUCKING EXIST BACK THEN
