A good '80s music video should contain one or more of the following:
- Big hair, with bonus points given for mullets and perms. Preferably both in the same hairdo.
- Clothes that you could only get away with in the '80s. I don't think there was a single music video made in the '80s that didn't have bad fashion in it, but extra points will be given for leg warmers, fluro, silly hats and tucked in shirts.
- Enthusiastic or emotional dancing is a must. In the '80s people were either ecstatically happy and leapt about frantically, or they were extremely sad and emotional in a way that could only be expressed through interpretive dance. (Usually with a group of people all in formation...)
- Eye contact, either between people in the video having some kind of intense 'moment', or between the person in the video and the audience. If you didn't stare down the barrel of the camera while you were dancing, you could always include a still shot of your face at the end of the video while the music faded out...
- Windows or mirrors. All the cool kids had videos where someone was either gazing out of a window, or dancing in front of a mirror. I'm sure it's all very symbolic and deep. Though of what exactly I am yet to determine...

- I was a teenager in the 80's and really loved the music. I'm not sure I'm looking at it through rose coloured glasses but the music seemed to "mean something" back then. In the 90's it became more about different sounds and less attention was given to the words.
