== Politics ==
While the 80s Heartthrob aesthetic is primarily associated with fashion and popular culture, it is important to note that the political climate of the time had a significant impact on the era's cultural movements. In particular, there were several political movements that emerged in the 80s and were associated with the Heartthrob aesthetic. 
One such movement was the anti-nuclear movement, which gained momentum in the wake of the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 and the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Many Heartthrob celebrities, including Sting and Jackson Browne, were vocal supporters of the movement and used their platform to raise awareness about the dangers of nuclear power. 
Another political movement associated with the 80s Heartthrob aesthetic was the LGBT rights movement. While gay rights had been a topic of discussion since the 1960s, the 80s saw a significant shift in public perception and political action around the issue. Many Heartthrob celebrities, such as Rob Lowe and Molly Ringwald, were vocal supporters of LGBT rights and used their platform to advocate for greater acceptance and visibility. 
Finally, the 80s saw a resurgence of feminist activism and the emergence of third-wave feminism. This movement, which focused on issues such as reproductive rights and sexual liberation, had a significant impact on popular culture and the Heartthrob aesthetic. Many Heartthrob celebrities, including Madonna and Demi Moore, embraced feminist ideals and used their platform to advocate for greater gender equality. 
The Democratic-Socialists of America (DSA) is often associated with the 80s Heartthrob aesthetic because both are characterized by a spirit of youthful rebellion and a desire for radical change. The DSA's commitment to progressive causes such as social justice, environmentalism, and worker's rights resonates with the anti-establishment sentiment that is at the heart of the Heartthrob aesthetic.
