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: |
I always thought The Strokes were more influenced by (or played music in the style of) 70's music, e.g. proto punk, post punk, art punk and power pop bands, but blended with a modern and/or futuristic sound. Most of the early music of the 80's was pioneered during the 70's anyway, like New Wave. The way I look back at the 80's is there was a paradigm shift, MTV came along and killed the Rock and Roll Zeitgeist of musical experimentation. If Rip Van Winkle was born in the 50's and fell asleep during 1980 and suddenly woke up today I think he would be hard press to say any of the good music has progressed since what he heard during the 70's.
