The popular music of the 80s had something for every music fan.There was the preening theatricality of hair metal and new wave, the sexy subversion of Prince and Madonna, the lighters-in-the-air stadium rock of Springsteen and AC/DC and the mellow escapism of new age and quiet storm.Hip-hop moved from good-time old school into its transformative golden age, the humanization of synthesizer-based music threatened to render instruments obsolete and MTV created mega-superstars while also driving people to discover ever-more-specific underground subcultures.
