I watched National
Geographic's 1980s; The Time of Our lives yesterday. It showed how
marvelous the time of 1980s was. It's the era where the mighty United
States had a President who was a movie actor. It was the time when
gymnastic videos were firstly released and sold. it was the era of
Personal computer deployments, it was the time of rock and roll, it was
the time of MTV, it was the time of Aerosmith collaborating with
rappers, Run DMC, it was the time when Prince charles married Lady
Diana. In Indonesia, It was the era of Suharto Authorities. Despite all
the bad economy, people invented many things in that era, to make them
feel good. Like Sony Walkman, Personal computers. When I watched that
docu, I was like, "Wow it was really the feel good revolution".
Indonesia was super strong yet super not democratic behind Suharto's
authorities. But our military was number 2 in the world. It was peaceful
back then,
no stupid petitions, or protests. the wests obviously had some respect
to us. now it seems like, everything is boring... music is all about
alcohol, wild, and free. gadgets are copying each other. Indo music is
all about sadness and broken hearts. People listen to music with poker
face, and empty stare. everything's gone promiscuous. if only I could
feel the joy of 1980.
