  1. In other words, you worship old heroes and can't accept the faults in them. And you can't accept new heroes. The 80's are over now and you feel disappointed because you can't live in your 80's fantasyland where you didn't need to worry about the problems of then, but now you need to worry about the problems of today. Well, know this. Nostalgia is bullshit. It causes you to regress into a child who argues about how Ghostbusters was the best movie ever made while Earth burns around us. Well, know this. Ghostbusters is conservative propaganda, the Terminator movies are sexist, the Original Trilogy had plotholes that rival the sequels, and the acting was not very good. Hell, the more my family watches the originals, the more we are convinced that if John Williams did not write the score, ANH would have bombed badly. And another thing, the 80's were a terrible time. The early 1980s had many people fear the Cold War wasn't going to end well. The Latin American debt crisis. President Reagan wanted more nuclear missiles in Europe, envisioned the Star Wars defense system and the "Evil Empire" speech reflected the "Red Scare" at a time "the Bomb" was still making everybody nervous. The Cold War, Berlin Wall and Apartheid did fall, but only near the end of the decade. Unemployment and economic crisis were a huge problem in many Western countries in the early years of the decade and the high speculation led to a bubble which fatigued in 1987 and burst in 1989. AIDS caused many victims because governments were slow to inform the general public on this disease as most people at first dismissed as just a problem for blacks, gays and drug users. TV shows and movies were extremely escapist and PCs and video games were prohibitively expensive. MTV did bring music videos on TV, but the downside was that how a pop star looked and danced became more important than the music, which was now created by computers, becoming increasingly sappy and repetitive as samples became the norm, becoming a disadvantage for those who still wanted to use actual instruments, chords and tunes. Metal and rap were seen as crime-mongering and even "satanic" as a whole. Also drugs went artificial during this time, turning Florida into a Crapsaccharine World. The nuclear power plant explosion in Chernobyl caused another major fear among people about the dangers of nuclear power. So why don't you do something else with your life? How about you act your age? How about you do something else instead of make vids that are all "WAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I want my childhood back!" You are an adult now. You are the product of millions of year of evolution. So ACT LIKE IT.
