Muzika osamdesetih godina prošlog veka nikad neće biti demode. Tome u prilog ide činjenica da su pesme koje su obeležile taj period i dalje neizostavan deo muzičkog programa televizijskih i radio stanica širom sveta.
Pored navedenog, ova dekada je ostala upamćena po mnogim imenima muzičke scene kao što su Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston, Cyndi Lauper, R.E.M., Queen, Guns N’ Roses, Def Leppard, Metallica, Bon Jovi, Europe i mnogi drugi. Takođe, jednu od važnih uloga tog vremena imala je kablovska televiziska mreža MTV, koja je prvobitno bila posvećena samo muzičkim spotovima, dok je danas u svoj program uvrstila i rijaliti emisije.
