In this episode of Accelerated Culture, we’re taking a trip back to 1984 to explore the sounds of the first half of the year.
We’ll start off by revisiting some of the most iconic and influential tracks of the era, including “Time After Time” by Cyndi Lauper, “The Reflex” by Duran Duran, and “Relax” by Frankie Goes to Hollywood. These tracks defined the sound of the eighties and continue to be revered by fans of alternative and new wave music to this day.
Throughout the episode, we’ll be discussing the lasting impact of these tracks and how they continue to influence the alternative and new wave scene today. Also, Trey shares his story of an encounter with an “imposter” 80s band!
So, join us as we take a trip back to 1984 and explore the unforgettable sounds of the first half of the year.
