SHARK PARTY MEDIA

80s Baby is one child of the 1980s' effort to recognize and celebrate the popular culture he loved growing up, and to share that celebration with other children of the 80s and 90s, as well as younger generations newly discovering the culture through the Internet. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, John Bilancini publishes an essay or list covering some aspect of 1980s and 1990s music, television, movies, food, toys, and more, on eightiesbaby.net.

John writes the articles or enlists the aid of one of several talented NYC based comedians to cover something that he or she loved as a child. As the website grows, John intends to return to several areas again and again, such as VHS tapes owned by his family, examinations of 1980s and 1990s television pilots and whether they hold up today, the 25th anniversary of cultural events, currently focusing on 1994, and other potentially recurring features.

80s Baby is an attempt to keep cultural artifacts alive, as well as provide an escape from the mundane and not so mundane stresses of adult life.
