There was \u201cLast Christmas\u201d by Wham, Slade&#8217;s &#8220;Merry Christmas Everybody,&#8221; and Band Aid\u2019s \u201cDo They Know It\u2019s Christmas?\u201d which featured a who\u2019s who of the decade\u2019s music stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the 1990s <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/whats-behind-the-nostalgia-that-drives-american-gen-z-music-taste\/\">may have seemed<\/a> more influential to the music industry and popular culture in 2021, modern pop is laden with <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/the-best-synth-vst-free-plugin-for-80s-synth-rock\/\">80s synths <\/a>and drum sounds.
