Please don't try to argue this, you'll just make a fool of yourself. Musicians from pre 2000s did some of the most disgusting things. The victims would be told to keep quiet and it's unlikely people would've listened to them back then anyway. The Police literally made 'Every Breath You Take' which was in the 80s, no?

Music quality has gone down? That's definitely a tunnel-visioned opinion. What do you want? These 80s bands to make more music? Listen to Bon Jovi, Metallica, Def Leppard, etc, and compare their new stuff to their old stuff. Music evolves.

Modern music doesn't take chances? It's just the genre which is popular on the radio at the moment. So many artists from the 80s used samples and loops so that argument is rubbish. The music you hear might contain a more minimal texture, but there are thousands of artists making an extremely wide variety of music. A few examples:

Wet Leg
Nothing But Thieves
Sam Fender
The Technicolors
Mt. Joy
Sir Sly

And these are all reasonably popular artists. Go on spotify and look for good music instead of whining that we didn't receive 93 renditions of an overrated 'Stairway to Heaven'
