80's

Back in the 80's, the airwaves were overflowing with mainstream pop music.
The fad then was the fashionable Madonna, the Prince of Pop, Michael Jackson ( may he rest in peace), outrageously flamboyant Cyndi Lauper, among others. If you are not a fan of any of them, then you must extraterrestrial, eons distant from planet earth. These artists made copious profits from their respective adoring fans and even from their harsh critics. They still do.
At the other end of the spectrum, a new genre of music is thriving called "New Wave" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Wave_music)
The artists were a kaleidoscope of personalities. There were preppy bands sporting sartorial elegance(so they say) e.g. Spandau Ballet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandau_Ballet) and sometimes Duran Duran (http://www.duranduran.com/). While others adopted the "punk look" like Billy Idol(http://www.billyidol.com/), U2(http://www.u2.com/ ) etc.
Their fashion preference usually depends on their music.
The progenitor of New Wave in Manila is DWXB 102 (http://dwxb.8k.com/); (http://wxb102forever.com/).
