BBC FOUR ‘Girls & Boys’: Sex and British Pop Documentary Series Part 3 of 4’ “Tainted Love The 1980‘s” 2005: Tainted Love, the 1980’s. The 1980s was the decade of flamboyant pop in a politically-divided Britain, as New Romantics like Spandau Ballet and Duran Duran set the tone. Style was the price of entry into the new world of gender-bending sexual experimentation. Disco hit the mainstream and then a new disease changed the rules. By the late 80s Britain’s sense of masculinity had taken a hammering and it was girls on top. Early footage of the New Romantic scene with vintage interview of Steve Strange.
