Hysteria

Kidburn's electrifying cover of Def Leppard's "Hysteria" is OUT NOW! ⚡️

Following the worldwide success of his album ‘Fooled By The Rush Of Growing Up,’ Kidburn pays homage to one of the most iconic rock ballads of the '80s.

#defleppard #newmusic

Through flickering lights, winding drives and quiet reflections, it captures the feeling of finally arriving. To someone, to somewhere, to yourself.

This song is for everyone heading home this season… by car, by train, or by heart 🕯️✨

“I’m coming home, I’m coming home to you…” ❤️

Some songs embrace you like a warm blanket. “Coming Home” is that soft, luminous moment where distance melts into warmth, and the road leads back to love.

But reality shows took over… and the music faded. In 2025, MTV was finally shut down. A silent end for a loud legacy 🤐

"Video Killed the Radio Star" That was the first thing MTV ever aired. And with it, the world of music flipped overnight 📺

In the 80s, MTV dominated the music industry and beyond. Music videos shaped fashion, identity and how we discovered artists. Pop stars became visual icons 🍿

#thanksgiving

In this intimate conversation, @donnalewismusic.bsky.social and David Lowe reflect on how each song in ‘Wanderlust’ represents a chapter of self-discovery: the adventure, the awakening and finally, the quiet realization that love and connection are what anchor us 🫶

#comingsoon

After the fire of “Burning Man” and the stark reflection of “Where Is The Love”, “Coming Home” marks the first moment of stillness. A return to warmth, belonging and emotional peace 🥰

These films were cultural milestones that shaped horror's evolution and their originality remains unmatched 🎬

What film did we miss? Which one still gives you nightmares? Comment below and share with fellow horror lovers.

#cultclassics #horrornostalgia #halloweenvibes #vintagehorror #scarymovies

“The Evil Dead” unleashed gore with cult-classic energy, while “Poltergeist” haunted suburban screens. Body horror thrived with “The Fly” and “The Thing”, pushing boundaries of terror. “Hellraiser” and “Re-Animator” twisted minds, and “Pet Sematary” explored death’s cruel cost.

#slasherfilms

Step into the chilling world of 1980s horror… an era that defined the genre. From the psychological terror of “The Shining” to Freddy Krueger’s nightmare reign, each year brought unforgettable fear 🧠

Who would you add to a more diverse and representative list of 80s icons? Let's celebrate their legacy, too 💖

This list is a celebration of their iconic status, but also an acknowledgment of the lack of diversity in Entertainment. While beauty canons have thankfully evolved, the shadow of that exclusive era reminds us how far we still have to go.

Scrolling through this carousel, a clear pattern emerges. The beauty standard of the time, much like the premise of the classic film “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”, was overwhelmingly narrow. The glamour was undeniable, but the lens was restrictive.
