Doesn’t hold true in all cases, but I’ve found a significant number of 80s bashers are either middle aged or the 80s were completely before their time. Just a thought… Absolutely! Try this trick…think of your favorite 4 years of music, ever, and then compare that to the 4 years you went to high school. ---
