One of the Indian Casinos near me used to only play 80's music. We would go to drink & play blackjack. Even shit like Cindi Lauper was fun to hear. The 80's was all about having fun. Whether you were in to metal, pop, new wave, rap, etc. No matter the style of music, it was all about having a good time & enjoying yourself. Something bad happened and the 90's was all about being pissed off, then the 00's were all about being sad. Music like that is good for a time, but has no real staying power because people don't want to stay pissed or sad forever.
And I always wanted to fuck the brains out of the little brunette from The Bangles.
