Breakdancing and hip hop culture also cemented the growing importance of sportswear as fashion in the UK. Adidas were massive but it also paved the way for Dia Dora , Fila, Sergio Tacchini and a lot of the football 'casuals' culture that followed. Everyone must remember local gangs and football firms wearing them long before Stone Island etc. Rave really helped smash a lot of the bollocks in the 90's and again that and the shoegaze retro guitar led stuff likethe Stone Roses just would not have happened without the 80's , sampling culture and the post punk experiments that brought song writing back to the fore.
