Are the 80s back in?

I was wondering for a few days, if the 80s fashion was "in" again...
I happened to reach odd conclusions.
I read somewhere that in times of crisis, bright colours were "in". I somehow happened to agree with that statement, maybe because people need something positive and luminescent in their dark lives or maybe because it's just an odd coincidence.
In the 80s, it was all about showing your curves, in anyway you like and it really still is.
Avant-gardistes started introducing zen ways of life to society while organizing huge raves. Mini-skirts were "da bomb" and huge earrings were nearly required to be considered cool while everything oversized was considered fashionable.

If we just looked at nowadays fashion for a typical teen, we would see that girls don't even feel like they need to wear a skirt anymore, some don't mind going outside in their underwear.This might be an extreme example, but not too far from reality, shoutout to Miley Cyrus.


Anything vintage is awesome, so here comes gigantic jewelry and TeeShirts that are longer than the shorts they wear.


In conclusion, I'd say that the 80s were never really "out", style just keeps changing, coming and going.
We're only 30 years later and real fashion takes decades to change.
I am very serious, I'm not writing about trends, but about the norms of society.
I am pretty sure you would not be able to tell me the difference between fashion in the 1700s and fashion in the 1750s, simply because it all looks so similar. In a few hundred years, I am sure it will be the same way for people looking back at right now.
Now, there's a hundred years difference in the first and the last drawing, is it very obvious for us? I think not.

We are just carrying the fashion of the 80s, while adding our own little touches!
