Bands that perfectly represent decades

puritans probably didn't make a lot of music in the 80's

didn't CCM really take off in the 80s? I know it def had its roots in hairy 70s hippie Xtians but like didn't Amy Grant start in the 80s

wait so all you have to do is basically mention christianity to be a puritan?

is that all Amy Grant did? (I wouldn't know tbh - let's ask Joan Crawford Loves Chachi)

i hung out with a bunch of goths in the usa for a short time and a lot identified with being asexual, and the s&m part become more popular as the years went by (after the 80s).

music is just too nuanced and time/city/culture-specific

puritanism usually manifests as an overly judgmental attitude, imo, i don't really buy into your symbolism or narrative tbh x-post

just in terms of Prince? yeah it's a bit of a stretch, but I do think there's this sort of wrestling-with-temptation undercurrent in his 80s work, even tho most of the time his inner horndog wins out

The Books - 00s
They did all of their work from 2000 and disbanded in 2010. Their sound although not popular musically for me they capture the decade like no other band.

LCD Soundsystem - 00s
Just like The Books, they did release their final album in 2010 but disbanded shortly afterwards so
I'm counting them in. Their sound was also very descriptive of the decade.

Other bands from the 00s that were formed and disbanded in the 00s: The Unicorns, The Avalanches, Fridge, Dntel,

Was going to agree with this until I noticed it's my own post. Palms in my face.

LCD soundsystem still looks like a good choice for the 00's but it seems del reunite next year so I guess they get eliminated.

del = they'll
