Conspicuous Acts of Cultural Consumption
Adventures in 80s Terror
THE HYPOTHESIS Ladies and Gentlemen, I posit that you will not find a clip that packs more 80’s music video cliches into three minutes than Cameo’s Back and Forth, released in 1987. THE EVIDENCE This has it all: big hair; bad fashion; Flashdance leotards; synchronized dancing; a vaguely glam metal guitarist performing a home invasion where he plays riffs at people. The only way you can cram more 80’s into this thing is the addition of a Corey. I DARE YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG In fact, if there’s something more 80s out there, I really want to know about it. Links in the comments, people. Links in the comments.
