Debbie Matenopoulos Instagram – 📼 Happy Mix Tape Monday y’all 📼. This time I put together a bunch of my favorite tracks from back in the day that include new wave, pop and ska. There were so many different sounds back then that made music so much fun and they all bring back so many vivid memories of my childhood. That’s one of the reasons I love music so much. It has the ability to evoke memories and emotions in us in mere seconds. Whereas, it takes other art forms, like movies for instance, hours to make us feel a certain kind of way. While pop and ska have been around since the 50’s New Wave is unique to Gen X as it was born in the 70’s and continued to evolve in the 80’s mostly with British artists. It made its way across the pond thanks to the help of my alma mater MTV. We here in America are responsible for some amazing New Wave artists too though, like Devo (who I have included here) as well as The Talking Heads and Blondie who I will include in the coming weeks. I hope you enjoy this weeks mix tape my fellow music lovers!!! And I hope these songs will put a hop in your step to start your week. #music #musiclover #musichead #newwave #mtv #genx #generationx #80s #80smusic 🎶 | Posted on 03/Apr/2023 20:36:30
