12, 13, 14...etc you can't put an age on music. With that being said, you clearly cannot put a time limit on music, this song will forever change generations
why do people keep on complaining of modern day music, yh quite a lot of it is shit like lady gaga and justin bieber, but if you actually look for music instead of looking at charts you can find good music. It's not difficult.
not the biggest fan of 80's mainstream music (underground stuff was great though) but I love this song, especially the intro, keeps getting better everytime I listen to it. this song defines an era and generation in my opinion, even though I wasn't around back then. from what i know about the 80s, and what my family has told me, this is song is the iconic 80s song, along with Hungry Like the Wolf
don't you forget something, won't you forget about today , tell me about the trashy current music, think of the great songs that we enjoyed, particularly the eighties.- S I M P L E
@topshoptights the mainstream music of the 80s was pretty trashy too in my opinion, with all the fake drum beats and stuff. this is one of the few great mainstream songs of the 80s. (plenty of good underground stuff though punk rock of the 80s was great.) there were hints in the 70s, but the 80s was in my opinion the beginning of the "cheap and fake" era that has continued through the 90s, 00s, and into today and has gotten worse over time. its not just in music by the way, it's in everything
@topshoptights the damned is a punk band. when I said iconic 80s song, I meant mainstream music. yeah the underground stuff of the 80s was a lot better, even though the damned wasn't really underground, but they're not mainstream
The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear this song is the movie (The breakfast club). Classic song, classic movie, classic era!!!! 80's are the shit!!!
@DJJOHAN33 They're still active, although only two of the founding members are still with the band. They just visited my country (Philippines) along with China Crisis last September.

What movie was it where at the end there was a guy outside her window on a lawn mover with a boom box playing her favorite song. And I'm not talking about easy a. It was an 80's movie. Does anyone remember?
the DAMNED - ALONE AGAIN OR (1987) the OCEAN BLUE- drifting , falling (1989) the MIGHTY LEMON DROPS, inside out (1988) world party - DREAM COME TRUE (1985) voice of the beehives- I say nothing (1988) the colourfield- RUNNING AWAY -(1987) toad the wet sprocket- Walk on the Ocean (1991) Ride - Vapour Trail (1991) Catherine Wheel - Black Metallic (1988) Primal Scream _Loaded- (1991) Soup Dragons-I'm Free (1990) Happy Mondays- Step On (1991) the Posies
was born 1975 and when this movie was released,i saw it and loved it like all the other movies made by John Hughes. the 60's had The Rat Pack and the 80's had The Brat Pack,its a shame that no one makes movies likes anymore or like St.Elmos fire,What About Last night
@kojakbangbang7 mate move out of your mothers basement, find a girlfriend and stop reminiscing about the 80'. Every cunt knows that music today is about as successful as a Gary Glitter comeback. But the 80's consisted of an oil spill, a flock of seagulls and a bunch of village people who tried to fuck a bunch of guys wwwwaaaaaaayyyyyy before their time. So in summary chilll the fuck out, sign up to match.com or whatever sad cunts like you do and forget your shitty decade occured
i'm 14 yeras old and i loveeeee this music!!! i think there should be more young people listening to this awesome music because today's music, if you can call it that, is awful...
i'm 14 yeras old and i loveeeee this music!!! i think there should be more young people listening to this awesome music because today's music, if you can call it that, is awfull...
guys seriously lighten up, you're sitting in front of a machine only dreamed of in the 1980s, with any song, video and all, from the earliest recordings in history to last night's concerts, one click of your mice away. which renders the relative cultureless barrenness of 2012 irrelevant!!!! and who watches MTV nowadays anyway??
@sweetestperfection90 You make some great points. Thank you so much.As some one who was into computers back then (but only a kid), I'm well aware of what you're saying about what we have now, tech-wise. Still it's too bad that most music video channels have got to crap.
Being born in 87 kind of sucks. I missed out on the 80's, and by the time I started to get into pop culture the 90's where nearly over. So I was left with the crap of the 00's.
i love jim kerr, he was such a spiritual guy, u just dont get that now, its mainly mass-produced, souless and synthesised pish - i have nothing against synthesisers but now musicians use them to make their voices sound perfect so u dont have to be a good singer anymore
To honor the truth, this was the first 80's song i really got interested in, you can reason out which is my age by just looking my nickname. I first heard this on futurama, but really got interested when hearing this on the Academy Awards tribute to John Hughes. From that day to the present I keep looking for great old music, and realizing that my generation will never have this kind of music which makes me sad. Sorry if i misspelled anything, my native language isn't English.
@sockomatic Judging by that senrtence i'd disagree. Don't your parents have parental controls in place? Youtube can be dangerous for a 12 year old? Can you access all content?
@Mythicalcurse they dont even know what parental control is because they are from a different country so i am allowed to watch alot of things and play m games
@sockomatic That's pretty risky, there's stuff out there a 12 year old shouldn't be seeing. Be careful what yoy view, there's stuff on the web that might fuck you up.
I even remember when MTV started in '81 and the first song was "Video Killed the Radio Star". I sense a return to straight legs, Izods, Rebok shoes, and long over coats. Let the '80's reign forever as a defining era like the 60's. I lived it, I sur
