The 80s were pretty much just a modernized version of the 50s (new wave and glam bands were directly influenced by 50s rock n roll/rockabilly, and in turn, I think the 2010s are going to be a modernized version of the 80s considering that electropop (which is basically modernized synthpop) is starting to become very popular, and I'm predicting that electropop along with a few other genres of electronic dance music is going to phase out hip hop/rap/urban pop around 2010 or 2011. At least I hope so.

this is what you get when you rely on the tv to tell you what's trendy. had you been turning to the net for the last decade you'd already have been sick to death of the synthpop 'revival' by now.
sure the mainstream can try shoving electropop down our throats but i figure that will last about as long as it takes for the generation of Miley Cyrus fans to realize they've been getting spoonfed garbage for their entire youths. not unlike the same kids who got sick of the hairspray in the 80s and embraced the rawness of grunge when it finally appeared.
that's not to say grunge will make a comeback. at least i hope not. although i'll be really surprised if raw emotion doesn't end up surpassing synthetic pablum in the near future.
