So let's talk about American music for a moment. So there's country, rap, hip-hop, alternative, rock, etc. Which is all fine and good, but then there's that American music, that well, we wish wasn't American. You know, every genre kind of has those fad bands that produce a one hit wonder here or there, and then they're gone and you think, "how did we ever listen to that?"
Then you think that music just disappears and nobody listens to it, right?
Wrong!
It actually ends up being played in some little cafe in Peru! Yes, it's true, some of our shameful songs from the 70s, 80s, and 90s have been recycled down here, kind of like a bad Twighlight Zone show.
Songs that I haven't heard in (dare I say 15) years are showing up all the time. The shameful thing is, I don't know who sings these songs, but ask a Peruvian, and sure enough they can name the tune and band. It's pretty funny actually.
Here's a quick shout out to bad 80s songs:
