I don't know. I'm a big eighties fan.
Don't get me wrong, I love Metric, with songs like 'Gold Guns Girls' and 'Stadium Love' they break the mold. Yet they've tapped into a whole vibe that seems archaic and retro now, but that vibe used to be called punk and new wave. Today it is called 'alternative'. Why is that? Why is eighties music still relevant now? Metro is playing on college radio the way Blondie played on college radio back in the day
I'm posting both videos as a comparison. Notice the stiff legged dance, the shoulder shrug, the color of the dress (black and gold stripe?), the shots of the band...the hair color of the lead singer.
and now Blondie...
Did they think nobody would notice? Which do you prefer? Please comment.
