The end of "New Wave" music. Rap stuff started making it on the music scene. There was a lot of "Pop" tunes on the radio...as I recall. The decline of Southern Rock.
A lot of "Aid" stuff started airing too...there were relief benefits for a lot of causes back then, with musical and Hollywood personalities participating.
