Informally, it can also include a few years at the end of the preceding decade or the beginning of the following decade. In the UK the first major 1980s fashion trend was sparked by the arrival of the New Romantics in the popular music charts in 1980. The election of Margaret Thatcher as Prime Minister in 1979 is also considered to be a major turning point. In America, the decade was most poignan ...

Music groups in the 1980s came from many countries and with many different types of rock/pop music. These groups benefited from technological advances, the advent of television station MTV, and the production of CDs and music videos to go together with their music. It must be mentioned that 1980s music is generally very distinct from the music of other decades. While 1960s and 1970s music and well as 1990s and 2000s music share a lot in common, the 80s sound generally is confined to the 1977-1992 period, centering on 1982-1988. Among groups that were famous during the 1980s are: < ...

U.S. presidential election 1980 - Campaign. The 1980 election is considered by some to be a realigning election. Reagan ran a campaign of upbeat optimism, together with implications of a more militarily aggressive foreign policy. This contrasted with the "malaise"-ridden attitude of the late Carter administration and its apparent impotence in the face of the Iran hostage crisis. Towards the end of the campaign, as Carter's poll numbers continued to slip and Reagan's rose, Carter responded with more militaristic rhetoric and announced plans to bring back the military d ...

The American music industry of the very early 1980s was in a state of flux, which Reebee Garofolo claims reflects the state of American society, in turmoil with the election of Ronald Reagan (p. 353). Disco, the most popular style of the late 1970s, was dead, and the once vibrant field of punk rock was fractured, producing offshoots like New Wave music. The term New Wave was used very loosely, describing a vast range of styles from the arty punk of Elvis Costello to the Talking Heads and the New Romantics; this vagueness temporarily t ...

The result of hair metal's decline was the grunge explosion in the early 1990s. By 1992 (1992 in music), hair metal bands were massively unpopular as grunge groups like Nirvana (Nevermind), Pearl Jam (Ten) and Alice in Chains (Dirt) dominated the charts. Their success lasted only a few years, however, as bands found it difficult to maintain their "alternative" sound after going mainstream. In addition, former N.W.A. member Dr. Dre (The Chronic) brought gangsta rap to pop audiences. By the mid-90s, alternati ...
