Description

This vintage-style video presents a montage of 1980s music acts, including Soft Cell, the Go-Gos, and Corey Hart. The video opens with a person reading a newspaper and transitions to magazine covers featuring new-wave singers, evoking a nostalgic aesthetic. The video then cuts to images of the 80s bands, including stage performances and group photos. Text overlays ask, 'What ever happened to your favorite 80s bands?' and 'Did they just disappear into obscurity?' The video includes a graphic for a show called 'Cutting Edge' and a news report about the bands mysteriously disappearing near Hawkins, Indiana after a bus crash. The visuals are treated with a retro, VHS-style aesthetic, featuring scan lines and color distortion. The video is presented by Doritos and Stranger Things.
