b-b-but.... if Enja are the 00's Cocteau Twins does this mean someone else has to be the '00's Enya?

the question is old enough 2 make you wonder if the 80s were ever "gone" in a substantial enough way for them to be "back"
― pons (crüt), Tuesday, 2 November 2010 03:40 (thirteen years ago) link
they were

yeah. the 80s were banished for much of the 90s, and returned in the 00s.

not popular enough
The Cocteau Twins weren't really all that popular, were they?
A lot at www.everyhit.com tells me they had only one UK Top 30 hit. They then had 4 more Top 40 hits, but those were all in the 90s.

the popular notion is that 90s music was pretty much an equal and opposite reaction to 80s much right? and the 00s were what happens when the people growing up in the 90s discovered those old 80s records? the 80s were 'gone' from our music, but not from our attics.
also i'm listening to garlands right now and i'm pretty sure school of seven bells will never gonna sound like this, which is kinda a shame imo

i think the notion is that there's a 20-year cycle. kids growing up hearing certain strains of pop music become musicians 20 years later, and borrow from the music of their youth.

Parts of the chorus sound a lot like Massive Attack's "Black Milk (ft Liz Fraser)" here:
