EARWORM GARDEN // LAZERHAWK — KING OF THE STREETS

Found off here (GTA V Nightride FM II).

I’m getting more into Synthwave by the day. And I’m not even particularly interested in ’80s movies or the ’80s style in general. However, I kind of like this idealised version of the ’80s that I don’t believe was even that popular in the real ’80s. It’s sort of how we imagine the ’60s or the ’20s that has very little to do with how people lived back then.

Inevitably, I can’t help but wonder what people will “remember” about the ’00s thirty years from now. There will be emo/hardcore/Eurovision/MySpace/sk8er parties with people making MP3 CDs, wearing Guy Fawkes masks and girls having that ridiculous cresty hairstyle that’s been out of fashion for some yeas now. My god, I lack basic vocabulary to describe haircuts—huh, that’s why they insist on teaching you that in foreign language classes so early. Well, I hope you get the picture, anyway.
