    The 80s seem to be creeping back in with some clothes looking sucpiciously 80s, 80s films seem to be pretty popular. I guess the 80s generation are all grown ups now and are bringing back their memories.

    I've definitely noticed it. Skinny jeans, big hair, neon colours, recession & Russia acting crazy

    I believe electro has helped it on it's way. Most artists base their music on 80's disco and dance hits.

    Not sure, one the one hand we have a recession but on the other hand the 80s had good music which is certainly lacking in today's scene...

    The 80s revival is fizzling out and heading towards the 90s now. The clothes in the shops, they say so.

    Could be far worse...as long as it sticks in the 90s/early 2000s at best.

    But the 90's were a warped revival of the 70's...

    So now we are getting the 90's version of the 70's....in the tensies.

    Once they bring back toys in cereal and proper saturday cartoons, I'll believe the 90s are back, anything else is a repressed revival

    I think its more like the 90's are back with all the bright yellows, pinks and orange coloured clothes and other fandals from the 90's. Huge collection of them in Penny's this season.
