The 80s was a very interesting time in the history of pop popular music.  It was the transition from Arena rock to what became known as new wave. This was the keyboards and it was used in nearly every type of pop and rock popular music for the entire decade. The popularity can still be seen with some of the popular popular music today, even though it has been over 20 years ago. But New Wave ultimately died in the early 1990s as all of a sudden there was new kid in town, and it was called Grunge. Don’t call it a comeback, though because New wave is active and well nowadays with bands like The Killers who are bringing back the keyboards and people are falling all over each other to get the latest keyboards.
