Is 80's rock cool?
I've always been attracted to 80's rock like Van Halen, Extreme, Gn'R, etc. I grew up in the 90's when it was DEFFINITELY not cool to be listening to that stuff, but I can't help it. I love it.

Does anyone else?

Some of it I like. I like some of AC/DC's songs, Metallica's 80's stuff is great, U2's 80's stuff was amazing, and Guns & Roses were pretty cool too. Van Halen were really fun too.

Rush is Canadian!!! Actually some of the bands were ok, but the majority of 80's bands were terrible.

I like 80's music, sure most of the lyrics back then were corny but I still listen to it anyways
