Welcome To The 80´s -- Postpunk und Neue Deutsche Welle




"In a combination of interviews with eyewitnesses, known and unknown finds from the archives and intensive search for traces on site - in the Bronx, in Sheffield or in Berlin - the six-part documentary series unfolds a captivating panorama of seething underground and unforgettable hits.


" Welcome to the Eighties "
reconstructs the then prevailing aesthetic worlds and begins where they came into conflict with one another. How punkers rebelled against hippies, synth-popper attacked macho rock, an independent, black culture against the white mainstream rebelled in the black ghetto, a new lust for commerce buried left-wing cultural criticism, a shrill party culture, heavy-headedness and critical distance defeated and pale-painted Gothic freaks opposed the solarium-tanned body cult of the 80s to a dark world of world pain and occultism.
