Ahaha, um. I think it stems from the 80s being the decade I grew up in, but not the decade that was my formative period -- ie the stuff I get nostalgic about -- in any way? (That being the 90s instead.) So it's got all this irrational "childhood stuff = cheesy!" baggage attached to it, which transfers over to a lot of the most quote unquote "typically 80s" sounds, which in turn means that listening to music with those specific types of sounds gives me a very visceral averse reaction. It's like a bizarre version of "familiarity breeds contempt", in a way.
I have no idea if that makes any sense, but it's the best I can explain it, heh.
(Also, I hate the tinny production that was so common back then. Dear god, why so heavy on the treble, people?)
