The ʼ80s as Costume
Yuppie minimalism, bone-white business cards, the obsession with "returning videotapes" — a parody of perfection.

Huey Lewis, Whitney Houston, Phil Collins — cheerful soundtracks to corporate sociopathy.

American Psycho proves that horror can wear a suit and smile back at you.
