Uh-uh. I can name the exact moment '80s music began to suck -- it was when Starship's "We Built This City" was released.
But it was truly funny that The Airplane got it totally wrong. The city of San Fran ended up being built on software and Intel chips.
Starship was NOT The Airplane.

Alternative was just one form of the era's popular music. Punk was another, and rap yet another.
I guess by 'alt' I might mean both of those, plus others as well.
The difference was MTV.
It brought all the 'alt' to the people -- and one hit wonders were bigger than ever.
