CLASSIC ENERGY

The music of the 1980s was a vibrant era, defined by synthesizers, synth-pop styles, Italo-disco, and the development of hard rock/heavy metal. This decade marked a visual revolution with the emergence of MTV, defining a generation with danceable rhythms, but also with strong influences from the previous period. The specific sound was given by electronic instruments, with synth-pop and Italo-disco becoming extremely popular. Hard Rock and Metal: The 1980s intensely popularized these genres, laying the foundations for numerous subgenres that still exist today, in a Cold War context. Among the defining songs and artists are Wham! ("Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go") and energetic productions, specific to the era. Although innovative, the music of the 1980s also took and inspired from previous decades."
