FLOOR 5 | £3
A new year, a new start, and nostalgia is gonna to start calling. As we say goodbye to the noughties, it only seems fitting that we re-visit some of the decades that set the precedent for the incredible music to come.
First came the 80s. MTV was launched and music videos catapulted pop artists to stardom as well as becoming the cradle for many new genres of music. Punk rock, hip-hop and techno became more main-stream. The pound of the drum machine made everyone want to get up and do the moonwalk to make you forget about your teased hair, ripped jeans and over-sized shoulder pads. Think Queen; ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’
Then came the 90s. Everyone wanted lights in their trainers, Beenie Babies were sold out, and boy/girl-bands ruled the airwaves. The world was breathing in the exciting new air of the Internet and the youths of the 90s were being introduced to optimistic slogans like “peace”, “girl power” and “save the earth”. Suddenly having your own individual style became “dope” and “hella awesome”. Go on, admit it, you had a favourite Spice Girl and you cried when Take That split. Think Bryan Adams ‘Summer of 69’
The noughties gave us Superbands like Westlife, Girls Aloud and of course the genre defining Britney. We all went online and stopped paying for music. R’n’b ruled the airwaves and our tv screens. That was until Pop Idol and the rest gave birth to a million wannabe pop stars. Heck, even Paris Hilton had a song by the end. Think Britney Spears ‘Toxic’
If you want to re-live these marvellous times in music, trends and fashion, come to Floor 5 and dance the night away to the unforgotten classics. Even if you were too young to remember them in person, the 80s and 90s aren’t ancient history, they still exert an influence on our culture today. They’ll get your feet tapping sooner than you can say “Baby, One More Time”.
