Why Society Climaxed In the 80s

The 80s were the best years that modern human society will ever experience. No matter how much people continue to delude themselves, they will never witness such ballanced power and culture ever again.
The main thing about the 80s is, of course, the fact that it was, officially, the final decade of the Cold War. The concept of 'red vs blue' dominated almost all other global issues. Military technology was at its most fair and ballanced peak. Half of the civilized world was at the other half's throats in order to secure what they considered to be true freedom. To secure this, their leaders lead their countries to clandestine wars; the Soviets in Afghanistan and the secret American counter offensives. And then the Soviet Union met its communist capacity and Russia evolved into a new capitalist empire, with the US pecking at the "revolution" like vultures.
The 80s also provided the world with the best music it will probably ever see. Rock climaxed with the big four thrash metal bands (Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica) premiering. Nothing will ever replace the music they did, especially not the pathetic offshoots in today's hard rock (otherwise known as "nu-metal"). Metal was not the only music type to flourish either; pop music jumped the shark too. Modern pop is nothing more than visual and audio manipulation.

Maybe when the anti-Christ appears to destroy the world in the next few years, he'll be playing a great guitar while he does it. If we're lucky.
