My newest backward-looking musical obsession is 80s Sophistipop.
Dianne Wiest comin with them dope smooth sophistipop jamzzzzzzz.
Let’s button our hang glider-sleeved white shirts up to the very top button, crack open a wine cooler and cock our left eyebrows to the beat …
I’m sure there will be lots of hair-splitting about what is and is *not* sophistipop on this playlist (which I didn’t put together so can it, youse guys!) but it’s still a valid swing through a not-super-clearly-defined subgenre and besides there’s not a bad tune here.
