The 30s-40s had jazz
The 50s had rock n roll
The 60s had classic and psychedelic rock
The 70s had funk and soul
The 90s had golden age hip hop
2000s had r&b/pop
2010s got experimental hip hop and vaporwave

The 80s had cheesy synth pop and overall aged worse than every other decade

80s had Mike and Prince

Should've mentioned those in OP cause that's the only defense that decade has

Prince MJ and the literal birth of Hip Hop isnt good enough?

Nope

Kate Bush, Cyndi Lauper, Depeche Mode?

Sexual Healing?

Not even just prince either, you had all of the Minneapolis sound. 80s had some trash (as does every decade) but the 80s was legendary and cannot be summarized by cheesy synth pop

Arguably one of the best

Music sounded like candy back then and everyone was gay🙊

What about this op

Don’t be cruel

Bad

New edition heart break

Purple rain

Thriller

Anita baker rupture

Public enemy

Stevie wonder hotter than July

Luther vandross never too much

Sade

Straight outta Compton

Keith sweat make it last forever

Maze joy and pain

Paid in full

Janet Jackson

Al b sure in effect mode

Big daddy Kane-it’s a big daddy thing

80s was a great decade for r&b and had a lot of ground breaking hip hop. I can see if you only listen to rap or pop music thinking it’s lacking though.

Also all those albums went at least gold/platinum at the minimum I believe. So it’s not like I listed a bunch of irrelevant dusty dudes who had no impact

Op really put the 30-40s in there but says prince and MJ alone pale in comparison to that s*** lmfao

00’s are by far the worst

nick cave in the 80s tho

most overrated decade in general

s***ty tacky pop music
horrible fashion
like omg neon colors!
reagan
aids
horrible consumerist culture

i'd say 1320's were a bit worse

Was gonna agree w/ op but u have a point tbh 🤔

Nah..

i dont know about that pal.
