1980s America's morbid fascination with its own seemingly inevitable
destruction in a

evil mutants and battered guitars that somehow escaped the blasts that destroyed
civilization as we know it.
Billy Idol - "Dancing With Myself"
Scandal - "The Warrior"
KISS - "Lick It Up"
Tom Petty - "You Got Lucky"

Am I leaving anyone out?
