Thanks for the article. It's interesting that marketers feel the 80's will appeal to the younger crowd. The article talked about how decades after the 90's don't have a defining culture, but I think that has to do with the growing commercialization of everything.
For example, music. Up until the 90's you bought an album and it was all good or at least decent. But then the record industry decided it would be a good idea to sell a certain pop package/image instead of continuing to let real artists make albums so now you had an album with 1-2 good songs and the rest was filler. It's hard for pop culture to form an identity when the industries aren't allowing pop culture to evolve on its own and are forcing it to go a certain direction for the sake of sales. Sorry for the rant.
