We have been discussing this forever. It's gotten old. Let it rest.

It ended on January 15th 1990 :D
But in reality, I'm still saying 1979-1991

My eigthies only lasted from about 1984 until 1988. I was in a time warp from 78 until 84 and passed out in the ashram's outer circle from 88 until 92. So it was a short but o-so-potent decade for me and one of the time warps I'm trying to get into now.

When new wave started to become really popular, so say 1982 when Human League's "Don't You Want Me" burst onto the scene but then again a lot of synthesizer-driven pop acts and underground new wave bands had been thriving for a few years before that, so it's anyone's estimation.
Ended definitely when grunge and all the euro-dance, house and hip-house stuff (Snap!, 2 Unlimited, The KLF, C+C Music Factory) began taking over.

Yeah, from a musical P.O.V. I'd agree Grunge was the death knell for 80s music. But in terms of fashion.etc, I'd say it was closer to 1992, but not as late as 1993. The early 90s aesthetic was very 80s.

"In My Dreams," released as a single in 1992, a song originally done by Dokken years earlier and covered by the teen dance-pop group The Party is SOOOOO eighties. There definitely was some '80s sounding stuff even as far as 1992. But on the whole, by that year, the scene was flooded by the alternative Seattle boom, hardcore rap, boring R&B groups and clubby euro-techno music. (To be fair though the early '90s did produce some good music, notably the said euro-techno and house music.)
