In my viewpoint, 80s mainstream popmusic sounds like oversaturated analog tape 
and an abundance of choruses and other effects to smoothen any scary guitar 
roughness. :o)

I don't notice that difference, only between mainstream and alternative music 
but not really between 80s and 00s mainstream. To me it all sounds glued to 
0dB with sticky shiney goey (well -0.2 to be exact) ;o)

The music itself has become somewhat more 2D though..
