Today, the '80s are considered to be one of the best decades ever. The glory of this decade will always be remembered with a frosted blue eye shadow, huge hair, bright neon clothes and of course golden '80's music. The good news is that most of the '80s trends are coming back!
Graphic artist and illustrator Fulvio Alejandro Obregon, better known as Fulaleo, decided to bring the colorful decade back and made a collection of images entitled 'The 2080s, The past is the future'. In this series, the Colombian artist imagined how contemporary music pop stars would look in an '80's style but in the future, and created covers for their 'future' albums with some retro-wave twist. He even made up album names for them!
The artist picked celebrities known by everyone - Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Drake and much more - so it's worth mentioning that most of the album covers are pretty hilarious considering their background story.
Fulaleo is one of the many artists who had to leave their native country to succeed. Born in Colombia, he moved to Melbourne, Australia, years ago to pursue his dream of becoming an artist. And guess what? He did it! Therefore, we invite you to travel in time and see how your famous musicians would look like in the '80s but in the future!

I'm happy that I have never heard of most of these people. Now ask me about Grunge and 90s alt, I could go on for hours.
If Bruno Mars had been around and active in the 80s, he'd've been the pre-eminent 60s pastiche pop singer. I want to like him, but his stuff feels like just this side of karaoke to me because I can list off all the songs he's been influenced by immediately, as I was a teen in the 80s. These are very well-done, but there were many album covers that would pass muster stylistically today, like the Violent Femmes' first album, Madonna's "True Blue", or David Bowie's "Tonight", and others that were simple, like Tears For Fears' "Songs From The Big Chair" or "The Hurting" or The Police's "Ghost in the Machine". I just want young people who may not be all that familiar with the 80s to know that not everything looked like an explosion of pastels, triangles, and Jheri-curl activator created by a graphic artist dropped in a vat of Escobar's Finest.
I’m still dumbfounded by how much Justin Bieber looks like billy from stranger things
He absolutely nailed it. The style of drawing and the font style. Brilliant. 👍 And the album names are hilarious. 🤣
