This mix was born out of pub discussion with two differing generations. The question was asked which music was better 80z or 90z, and all hell broke loose lol…
For me 80z and 90z affected me in different aspects of my life:
[80z] As you well know from my previous mix, my teenage years was during the 80z era, where music was focal in one’s life. Yes that 80z era takes me back to a NOSTALGIC time when you felt SAFE, when you had a few cents in your pocket yet the entertainment lasted longer than 100 times its value today, when you experienced your first love and your first break up, when the worst you would get was a blue eye from a fight, and when you heard that song on Radio or the hottest club in town for the very first time; it turned your world upside down. Moreover, the song ‘You gave your love to me’ by Chude that I have mixed on the 80z side has and will always be a favourite of mine. Not many people know that the tune was actually arranged, mixed and produced in Zimbabwe!!! I found this out recently when I interviewed Chude Mondlane the lead singer, who is actually half Mozambiquen, half American, having lived in Zimbabwe during war times in Mozambique. What a wonderful lady she is, modest, intelligent and a real stand up person.
[90z] The 90z reminds me off a time away from home as a young adult in a foreign land. Struggling with no money, a sponge for higher learning, learning life lessons the hard way and making it on your own; lots of drama yet finding solace through music. The first time I went to concerts and had access to those singers that I loved, and then buying the CD (yes it was a milestone that you could afford a CD) afterwards and listening to those tunes on the ‘tube’ in a world of your own, that you even missed your stop.
I guess I haven’t answered the question the way you wanted me to, I don’t think a scientific analysis would give you the answer; it’s really something personal which is influenced by the generational divide.
I have put a mix together and let you be the judge!
