Usually, pop culture means for young people. 80s nostalgia is for people born in the 70s.

  Not necessarily. There are movements for 90s nostalgia from people who did not exist in the 90s. It's a sort of fake or retrograde nostalgia, possibly from seeing their parents.

  I mean Taylor Swift had an album that was titled 1989 (the year she was born), and you can pretty much draw a straight line from Toni Basil's rendition of "Oh Mickey" to "Shake It Off". I think her audience tends to be fairly young, and they ate it up.

    Taylor Swift reused an all-around decent sounding genre that wasn't overdone in the 2010s, with some changes for modern times. It's not the nostalgia that sells it. The majority of actual 1980s pop music would probably rarely be replayed today, just some hits survive. You might find the biggest divide asking gen Z vs millennials what they think about the movie reboots. A few of those are done well and have their own merits, but most rely totally on the nostalgia factor.
