For me: 80's music = music made from 1980-1989.   If you want to get
more specific, then you should specify a genre: new wave, synthpop,
etc.

No, I don't believe in sarcasm.

Has any music *really* become irrelevant?  Everything builds on what
came before, no?   Just because a style of music isn't topping the
charts anymore doesn't make it irrelevant in the grand scheme of
things.
