Pretty much everything you mentioned there is very much late 90s/early 00s and in the case of Marilyn Manson you're talking about someone whose peak was actually in the
mid 90s. It's true some of that music lingered into the 00s like some 80s music lingered into the 90s, but there has definitely been an 80s revival going on this entire decade. Check out any one these people who were releasing retro 80s sounding music in the first part of this decade (and even in the late 90s in some cases) for reference:
- Fischerspooner
- Ladytron
- The Faint
- The Knife
- Interpol
- !!!
- The Darkness
- Andrew WK
- Hot Hot Heat
- The Rapture
- Liars
- Peaches
- Miss Kittin & the Hacker
- The Strokes
