The 1980's are beloved for so many reasons, and as modern musicians, fashion designers and video game developers harken back to a time that's so fruitful for nostalgic reminiscing, the curiosity around the decade is as present as it's ever been.

The fictional Vice City is dripping in references and inspirations to the 80's. Rattling down a Miami-esque highway in a blocky coupe listening to Kim Wilde's Kids In America is sure to make any millennial or gen-z player wish that they were around to witness the likes of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, slingback heels and neon leg warmers.

Radio stations in the series have always contributed so greatly to the atmosphere of each release, and thanks to much of the time spent being on the road, the tones of 80's royalty is often taking centre stage.

Thanks to an influx of new artists drawing inspiration, music from the 1980's has never been more popular since that very decade. Harkening back to the cheesy, funky pop-heavy soundtrack of Vice City would satisfy millennials and gen-z alike.
