Conversation:
Music in the 1980s was so much fun from what I have heard.
Yeah? It was when dance music and new wave emerged.
What exactly was the type of music coming out? Pop?
So, after disco in the early 80s, there was post-disco, Euro disco, Italo disco, and dance pop.
I see. That makes sense. I was born in 1983 so I was really young. Was hair metal a thing in the 1980's music scene?
I am not sure, but there was glam metal, thrash metal and soft rock.
Wow that is a lot. Who was the buzzing artiste in soft rock in 1980s?
