80s Nostalgia corresponds to a trend in contemporary American popular culture for idealization of the 1980s decade and revival of its musical genres, fashion styles, politics or screenwriting. According to some journalists, such a trend has been present for a long time but became massive in the year 2016, as evidenced by the popularity of television shows like Stranger Things or the musical genres synthwave and synthpop. The New York Times notes a revival of 80s fashion in 2016 haute couture, and views the politician Donald Trump as an incarnation of the "excess" characteristic of this era.
