Not Weird Al, of course. He's always awesome.

Cars from the 60s and 70s looked SOOOO much cooler than cars of the past 20 years. People today are terrified of color, too.

On that note, and in keeping with the title of this topic, we don't see the really cool bizarre weirdo experimental avant garde-new wave-punk bands like there were in the early 80's. At least I don't see them anyway. Who is the Klaus Nomi of the 2020's? Or the B-52's? Pere Ubu? Or heck even Bow Wow Wow?
