“Electro and glo-fi don’t exhaust the 1980s-into-noughties topic by any stretch. I already mentioned post-punk, the decade’s big retro bonanza. When that seam started to become exhausted, indie bands began probing more obscure crannies of the Thatcher-Reagan decade, such as C86 and Italo disco and minimal synth, while 1980s synth-funk and vintage videogame sounds are rife in dance music from 8-bit to wonky to skweee.”
