    Well if you enjoyed the 80s soooo much then a) you where too young to grasp the problems facing your parents or b) you where too well off.

    Just look at the cinema and listen to the music of my fine period.

    Everything, every theme was: please dont kill us and can i have a room to call my own.

    The politics where insane, mortgage rates of 10-15% where the norm, enormous economic shifts.

    The 90s where fun but the eighties where, in my experience, very, very dark.

    Ever listened to, I dunno, two tribes, war, dancing with tears in my eyes, Russians, etc.? Those first albums of u2? Really grasped what Terminator was about? Wall Street? Or the much lighter but still terribly fucked Trading Places?

    It was all really dark stuff, my brother. Fun, but very dark.

    Can we please, stop reposting this same shit pic for the last, I dunno, year?

    This is the gazillionth time. I get it. Is a stupid algea tank. where a simple tree does the same for a fraction of the cost. It’s of no use in the public space except as a tech demo or art object.

    So. Yeah… Next?
