I'll give you that the style sucked in the 80s, and the movies were in general a lot worse than the 70s.
Sure, there were crappy hair bands like Poison and nancy boys like George Michael all over MTV.
But if you were in the punk-alt-indie-metal scene, the music was to die for, and so much better than the 15 years since the 80s ended.
Dead Kennedys, Husker Du, Minutemen, Black Flag, Violent Femmes, Replacements, Meat Puppets, Misfits, Cure, Gang of 4, Bad Brains, Dinosaur Jr., Mission of Burma, Mudhoney, early Sonic Youth and early Pixies, Plus lots of great metal: early Metallica, Megadeth &c. And the best rap ever made: NWA's Straight out of Compton and the early Public Enemy
Early U2, mid-career Ramones, Elvis C, Damned, Talking Heads, Jam & I'm tired of this list.
The only way the music of the 80s sucked is if you sat around watching MTV.
