To me that sounds more like the 80`s glamrock era.
I was so happy when alternative music came in the 90`s. I could finally get rid of the leather, boots, big spiked hair and rediculous mascara LOL
Traded that all in for shorts, t-shirts, Airwalks, and dreads (before shaving them off later in my punk rock era)
But I did bring the spikes back out when we opened up for Testament. Hey.. how can you not?! hehehe
Oh I remember the clothes. I lived near the infamous Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip where Guns N’Roses shot one of their music videos and often partied. I used to go there several times a week. Girls all dressed like Kelly Bundy on Married with Children. Guys basically all looked like Guns n’Roses, Poison,Warrant, etc...Long hair, tattoos, tight jeans or leather pants, cowboy boots with spiky metal things and tons of bangle bracelets and more jewelry than any woman would wear. Then Nirvana happened, grunge took over and killed the Rainbow and everyone started wearing plaid and Doc Martens.
Actually retro means similar to styles, fashions, etc. from the past:or looking at or copying the past. No specific dates are amount of time in the past.
Oh, God, yes. Progressive rock of ELP, Yes, Genesis, Triumvirat, U2, et al; Pop bands NOT singing about shooting someone, or raping them, great stuff.

My favorite eras were the 60s, 70s and 90s.
I have always hated the 80s. Hated the music hated the fashion, hated the politics and hated the mindset. Wish 80s never happened.
The seventies was a great time to be alive! Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, rock on!
I can't agree. The 80s produced some of the best metal and late punk. The rest is landfill, though.
You're all wrong. No era produced better music than any other.
It's used to be that you could hear good music on the radio because they have no qualms playing a song that was good but not the genre of the radio station, aka crossopver hits, and that lack of crossover hits has made hit radio music of the recent past untenable mostly. I do try suggestions via YouTube that come up when I'm listening to oldies and those are pretty good many times.
Thx for replay :-)
Metal is an 80s paradox. It became so 80s in its attemp to be anti-80s. I still don't know, why now metal is linked to 80s, when everybody I knew and heard of in the 80s was hating metal.
BTW: I've never understood punk.
80s was trash? The Police. Good parts of Michael Jackson's discography. Bowie was definitely active here. George MIchael. Madge's best work. Whitney. There's a lot of good in the 80s.
Every era has its mix of trash and glory.
I have to agree — there was definitely a lot of good and influential music in the 80s: Depeche Mode, The Smiths, The Cure, Jane's Addiction, Brian Eno, Pixies, U2, Paul Simon, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Prince, Siouxsie and the Banshees' Peepshow, R.E.M., The Clash, Tom Waits, Metallica, Tears for Fears, Run D.M.C., N.W.A.'s Straight Outta Compton, Beastie Boys, Killing Joke, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, so many...
Music keeps changing but fashion seems to have stopped in the 2000’s. Besides skinny jeans, t-shirts or hoodies, there’s no actual fashion in the 2000’s that you can look at and say “that was obviously 2010.” No signature hairstyles since The Rachel from friends. No high school photos for kids to look back at and cringe. We’ve just become generically blah...
But — 2020 brought back sweat pants!
Or maybe even no pants... who knows on all these Zoom calls anymore.
Blame haut coutoure's (sp?) dive into irrelevance. When people all looked to Paris there was identifiable fashion that the rest of the western world could recognize, and it had a sell-by date. Once Paris and it's rivals started looking to "street style" for inspiration, they lost any reason for why anyone should bother to listen to them.
Now the styles, such as they are, seem to be set by sportwear companies.
Do you mean Paris the city or Paris Hilton? I live in LA and Paris Hilton has become irrelevant as have most trend setters. If anything, fashion has become more 70’s style with Coachella being a big deal and there’s a more down to earth, less flashy feel. Pre-Covid, girls were still wearing mini dresses and heels, bimbo clothes, at certain events, but no particular style really, Hairstyles are all over the place, mostly long with hair extensions. But that was pre-Covid. There have been no events yet although things are just starting to open up little by little. I wonder if it will bring a new surge to fashion because people got so bored living in t-shirts and legging lol.
1970s had some of the ugliest fabric patterns ever for men's shirts. Often shiny. Don't forget the scarf, too.
I think the 80s would offer some great design. Big Shoulders, Big Hair, Enormous Earrings, Pumps with French heels, Patterned Hose, Collarless business suits for women. When I say "big hair" I mean, like Dian Cannon, Dolly Parton, etc, (Prae does some great big hair), and the guys' "Mullet". Big hair is not like the 1960s, which do's were usually shellacked into a stiff bubble or flip. Big 80s hair was sometimes quite wild. New Wave came out, and that was experimenting with the surreal. I liked New Wave. Then, there was the Miami Vice Iced Sherbert style big shoulders, soft linens, loose slacks. (contrast to the really really tight jeans and leather sport coat or "Club Med' leather jacket). Other fashion styles abounded. We wore just about anything we wanted. Country style, punk style, disco style, New Wave style, and so on. Lots of possibilities there.
The promos for 70s stuff seem like spun off some old Starsky and Hutch episodes (not the reboot)
My personal list of 80s horror, except for Metallica ;-)

BTW: My profile picture is a 1974 shot of Freddie Mercury.
Even Queen sucked during the 80s. To me they were best in the 70s.
Thats very intersting Gunne Sax did loads of what we would consider now prairie Boho (ish) style dress as patterens and they are sought after for photoshoots so PAs could raid that catalogue for ideas?
Now I lived throught the 70s and I thought they were pants frankly only saving graces to me some music this is an example of a Gunne Sax dress (there are 70s beige horrors) but think hammer horror heroine armed with candle in dracs castle and I am good to go :)
It’s a pain to post images on an iPad so if you google Coachella fashion, you will see how 70’s inspired it is. And because so many celebs and influencers attend Coachella, it spreads into the mainstream and 70’s fashion IS back. LA is starting to open up, I think by mid-June everything should be pretty open and events will start up again. It will be interesting to see what kind of fashion emerges. Because we have so many celebs and influencers here, LA fashion tends to spread worldwide. And of course they normally attend fashion shows worldwide but that may not happen for a while. So there may be a lot of localized fashion that spreads through social media. I just hope it’s anything besides jeans and hoodies...
Just googled spring fashion 2021 and it does coincide with a lot of Daz offerings. Lots of long flowy flowery dfrorce type dresses and skirts. I personally am not a fan of long dresses, either on myself or Daz characters. Oh well, I don’t have a lot of money to spend on my clothes because it’s all going to my characters’ wardrobe lol.
