In trying to depict what an 80s redux will be like to my young'uns, less the crackbabies, AIDS, smog, etc., the most profound human recovery will be Freedom, which most kids under 30 don't seem to have an acquaintance with.
Since 9/11, American culture has taken a permanent nosedive: music, film, art, education, everything, and here we are with a clean re-boot handed to us by DJT.
What do you want to bring back? What should we diligently avoid as consequences of freedom and prosperity that half the nation doesn't have the experience or wisdom to handle competently this time around?
After US Middle-class wealth is restored (should take about a year), and circumstances begin looking recognizable again, one of the first things I want to see is REAL music being made again. With actual instruments, no voice-modulators, maybe something like Grisco: grunge you can dance to, heavy on the guitar, moderate on the angst, over-amped on the optimism.
I want to see trade and vocational schools blooming and booming out of deserted office space in forgotten America.
I want film with absolutely no reference to terrorism as the enemy. Only respectable enemies deserve to find themselves as antagonists in film, not the tacky, boring depression radical islam brings to action movies.
Jokes and humor: we have 8 years of Snowflake material to mock, so let's get busy.
How would you build your rendition of the Re-Eighties?
Morello for sure. He recently mouthed off on who Castro was a hero.
That sux to hear. What’s he, 50 now?
And no Boy George or any other fag bands.
Flock of Seagulls,,,

What we need is another Whitesnake.
Seriously,
We Need
“The Blues Brothers”
Jake and Elwood.
You really have to admit that the 80s was a great time for movies. Great, fun movies you could watch that didnt deal with the political world unless they were ultra patriotic, i.e. Red Dawn. The US against the bad guys. It really was almost a carefree time.
And another Sam Kinison.

Who have we not been allowed to criticize or mock for 15 years? Islam. I myself have about 50,000 gallons of ‘criticism’ for the ones who have ruined the American psyche for these terrible years.
You’d think the snowflakes would love the male metrosexual fashion of wearing pink that was in the 80’s.
They say Politics is downstream of Culture, but that’s only after politics has stocked the river with asian carp and hydrilla to harvest downstream, things that totally transform the original cultural habitat. If you speed up music, film, art over the last 20 years, you can actually witness the planting and hyper-fertilization/feeding of the destructive species.
Some states whose lakes and rivers which are overtaken by aggressive species just ‘kill’ the water body and start the biosphere all over from scratch.

Music too. I don't a return to that, but I hope we can improve over the crap we're getting now.
But we are fighting back and winning.
I liked New Edition’s music.
Get back to me on that when Hillary is shackled and wobbling along in a fashionable Orange jumpsuit with the words “CONVICT” stenciled on the back.
Until then, we’ll see.
That will never happen. :(
