I saw this in Boston the other day. It was really weird. Everyone on the bus looked too young to remember the '80s. Why all this faux nostalgia? I've been to '80s themed birthday parties where everyone is all "OMG I love the '80s!!!!!" when they weren't... there. I think nostalgia could be considered grotesque because it represents a skewed, distorted view of the past. But then another layer is added when the people never even lived in the time period. (I guess this can also be said of historical reenactors...)
In any event, judging by the 80's bus partiers' enthusiasm for getting their picture taken, they were probably vom + Raly-ing.
