cats, lady gaga, furries, and now a-ha ...

are you deeply closeted or just roleplaying a soho/vauxhall queer?

it's from an incredibly camp style of music. synth pop is not exactly red-blooded. 'take on me' is a huge hit at discotheques – also gay spaces.

depeche mode aren't gay either but very popular in the gay scene for similar reasons.

erm yeah, if you listened to radio pop and top of the pops only, sure. the 80s was also the decade of metal … post-punk … industrial … hip-hop … electro … acid house …

not sure joy division, the smiths or the fall were ‘camp’.

i’m not saying that a-ha are the critical piece of incriminating evidence, here: just saying that, inter alia, you’re building quite a profile.

what exactly is 'sadgasm'?

metal is very arguably camp, yes, at least in the mainstream glam/hair metal guise. not sure i'd say death/black metal are 'gay'. unless they were burning churches in scandinavia to protest their treatment of homosexuals?

but, yes, other than that, great job chap. clearly you were as curious about culture in the 80s as you are now. 'the entire decade was synth-pop'. imagine ignoring some of the greatest recording artists of modern times. even from pop-adjacent genres like r&b.

yes, you're here now, too, in the 2020s, and evidently don't pay attention to anything cultural whatsoever.

man who reads 50 books in his life claims to have innate knowledge of something because he ... lived through it.

i'm sure you were an avid record collector and gig attender in your early adulthood. you've just become a ruminant, attending tween stadium concerts, in middle-age.
