As Il Duce said not that much is up with that, you were a teenager and so probably into current music in the 90s. Still, you might have had some songs you heard off the radio from the 80s that you remember, although that music was better in the first half of the 80s which being only a baby then you would have hardly remembered.

Of course 80s music has become fashionable because the teenagers of that generation have grown up and are championing it and have nostalgia for it. I also think though that the music quality can back that up. People will have the same remembrance for 90s music soon as well. But I agree with the earlier comment that all decades have good music, you just have to look more to find it. I do feel some people (not saying you) just use the fact that they don't like a particular style of music (often just meaning they haven't tried much with it) to just damn a period.
