"Which decade was best, and why was it the 80s" Birth of Hip-Hop. New Wave. Electronic. Blondie. Michael Jackson's "Thriller", which echoes to this day in Justin Bieber's "Peaches". Metallica in their prime. Prince & the Revolution. Faith No More's Epic to close things out. And, of course, Rick Astley ;) Recently heard Depeche Mode's "Black Celebration" for the first time in years and couldn't help but think it sound…

>better than anything today

Pretty bold claim. Do you listen to a lot of modern music?

I have a soft spot for ANSI art and secretly hope it has a reason to come back in a fresh way like pixel art has. The 1x2 blocks are just so iconic. I fooled around making some tools to do stuff like parse a GIF of an ANSI back to ANSI and devolve a photo to (crummy) ANSI art the way some scripts do with ASCII, but it is pretty remedial compared to the code that exists for futzing with pixel art.

The LaGrange Gemini client supports ANSI foreground colors.

Gemini and Gopher have some good sites with ANSI art. Unfortunately I don't remember them off the top of my head.
