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.
