What is your theory for why 80s cultural artifacts have become mainstream again? E.g. music like ABBA, Everyone wants to rule the world, etc; entertainment like Stranger Things, Breakfast Club; fashion like the shades, etc Working theory: internet native youths subconsciously yearn for an analog world

Isnβt it the sequential next retro/cool recycle after the 70s revival? Also, perhaps long enough to let the deep cringe of the 80s style to recede enough to allow the filtered version to be palatable. The revisionist history of the decades is always a high pass filter on the best of it. Not what it really was.
