80s: The stars of the 80s became legends of the 80s who are revered to this day
Every decade has its own musical direction and its own stars. The 80s had it really in itself, because the decade was above all one: extreme in every respect. There was the New German Wave with Marcus, Hubert Kah, Geier Sturzflug, UKW, Frl Menke, Nena & Co. and the first boy groups like New Kids on the Block were formed. On the international level, the really big stars like Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna were successful and filled even the biggest arena with legions of fans. Cyndi Lauper, Boy George from Culture Club and Madonna made eye-catching appearances with their extravagant outfits. Because the fashion of the 80s was also extreme in every respect. With thick shoulder pads, highly toupeed perms and huge costume jewelry around the neck or on the ears dominated the looks of this time.
