It's more like celebrating authenticity and rejecting today's pablum (although I agree it's all pablum).

80s videos were fun even when they were stupid or pretentious because the medium was new and no-one had ever seen or done it before. Now, we've all watched them for 20 years so it gets tiresome more quickly. But I think the original-sound-to-derivative-copycat-crap ratio gets to be about the same in every musical style cycle.
