Oh you people. In 10 years you're going to be wearing MC Hammer pants to halloween parties and raving about how the late 80's were the shizzle - you can't touch this!

There's Young MC with Bust a Move. There's Deee Lite with Groove is in the Heart. There's P.M. Dawn, KRS one, Public Enemy, there's a TON of classic music in the late 80's, but the clear channel just hasn't figured out how to market it as nostalgia yet.

I'm convinced that this musical nostalgia started with American Pie and Happy Days, (late 70's nostalgic for the mid 50s, that's what, 25 years?) and then in the mid 80's, there was the "new" hippie thing - re-doing woodstock, summer of love, which puts the span at 70-85. 15 years. And then there was that 80's show in mid 90's, a span of 10 years. In 5 years, we're going to be watching a show that's nostalgic about last month. And in 10 years, we're going to be celebrating the celebration we're celebrating because those were some good times.

EDIT:
VH1's "Those were good times 10 minutes ago!"
