Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

So this came out when I was 8. My dad had cable back then and this thing called MTV was playing music videos. This one in particular caught my eye and ears. I think about those early 80s weirdo bands making their way on MTV and how much that shaped my music taste for the decades to come.

God this is such a good song.
Excellent choice ren! Sometime I wish I could have experienced the 80s
P.S. You may notice I'm posting from a different account. I had a bit of a snafu with my previous account. This will be my main account moving forward if you don't mind swapping this one for the other kvn for mod privileges. I commented in an older pinned post yesterday but I'm guessing you didn't see so now I'm bugging you here lol
The 80s had some really amazing music - the addition of synths really took experimentation out there (not to mention all the hip hop development then). Really was a great decade for all kinds of work. And noted on the mod stuff, will update it!
