      Today it represents conformity. Masculine shame and ritualistic gender sacrifice to gain social approval and driven by self loathing. In the 80's it was an act of defiance against conformity.
      A cultural statement in defense of the rights of individuals and comfort with sexual identity -- 'Doing this makes me NO LESS of a man. I can be masculine AND sensitive. I can be masculine AND beautiful. I am so masculine I can display feminine traits without calling my sexual identity into question'. Very different things. Its about the motivation.

    I'm crying uncontrollably right now. I was born 1971. This music (80's) is life. I watched my wife and mother pass away just a month apart from each other in 2013. Then my oldest brother lost his father, then his oldest son, and finally he himself. And now my own health is failing. I find comfort on coming on youtube to listen to the 80's music I grew up on, although it can make me tear up. I long for the old days when life was so much more simple and happy.

    You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
    When I met you
    I picked you out, I shook you up
    And turned you around
    Turned you into someone new
    Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
    Success has been so easy for you
    But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
    And I can put you back down too.
    Don't. Don't you want me?
    You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
    Don't. Don't you want me?
    You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
    It's much too late to find
    When you think you've changed your mind
    You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
    That much is true
    But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
    Either with or without you
    The five years we have had have been such good at times
    I still love you
    But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own
    I guess it's just what I must do
    Don't. Don't you want me?
    You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
    Don't. Don't you want me?
    You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

      I had the same thought pattern. Music 30 years ago from TODAY is not TOO far removed from what we have today; Grunge, Hop/Hop, Pop, Rock. More or less on the same keel. But 30 years before from when I graduated high school in 1988, you were talking about a whole different world from '88: Kingston Trio, Chantilly lace, King Kreole, and Bobby Darin. It might as well have been from another planet!

      Came here to say the same thing... a masterpiece of lyrical story telling.
      They waste NO time in setting up the story and bringing you into it, then (seamlessly) comes the other side and both are relatable.
      "Paradise by the dashboard light" also comes to mind as a terrific "back and forth" relating both sides of a story. Also an EPIC song.

    I miss the 1980's ...I graduated from high school and got my first driver's license and my first car and my first real job then and my first apartment then. It was the decade of growing up for me. I can't believe 1980 was forty years ago. Where has the time gone? In another decade I will be ready for Social Security. I get older but the music videos of the 1980's stay young and fresh to me.

      I hear you brother, I turn 60 this year. When I hear music like this I feel like I am in my 20s again. The one mercy of getting older is that the bad parts of any part of your life are forgotten. The '80s now seem to be a glorious period of freedom, casual sex and a pocket full of money with no mortgage, daughter, aged parent and wife to support.

Now I am going to be 49 in 5 weeks but I wish I was older because life was better back then I just didn't know it was . Take care 💕

    Sometimes I’m just so sad, that I was born in 2005 :(
    I‘d give everything for a time travel to the 80s… Even if I never experienced that era it feels so nostalgic, harmless and warm to me. I also think, that regarding music, the 80s are unmatchable. It seems like the perfect mixture of normal people being able to become musicians, but without the overload of nonsense of today’s streaming platforms. The music of the 80s just seems so pure and natural, as if most songs wrote themselves, but they can hit emotions way more compared to stuff I hear today. I just wish I could’ve been there…

    I can remember literally hearing this for the first time in 1982...the synth sounds were utterly new; there was almost nothing on the radio that sounded like this. One of the best pop hooks ever written. And excellent haircuts that set the trend for years to come!

      During the 1970s I and a schoolfriend were big fans of Vangelis and Tomita and thought electric guitars were completely old hat. However, in the early 1980s it was amazing to see and hear synths go from a niche instrument few musicians could afford to the mainstream.
      p.s. Do you realise this was from The Human Leagues third album. However, both they, and Heaven 17 who were the "musical" part of the group got fed up with being niche and went for a full on Pop sound. It obviously worked as this was the U.K.s 1981 Christmas Number 1 single back when that actually meant something.

    I feel sad for young people with the music scene they have to endure today. We did not have time to listen to all the quality music that came all the time. Now it feels like 5% music and 95% market dominance and PR.
