This is a representative single by the Buggles, a representative of new wave, and a masterpiece that has been parodied and memed endlessly.
The song has an ironic history that contradicts its theme, as it was also the first MTV video with a well-known melody, known in Japan as "The Tragedy of the Radio Star."
This song was written by Trevor Horn, inspired by the sci-fi writer JG Ballard's "The Sound Cleaner." The keyword is "nostalgia." This song has touched the hearts of many people across time and countries. It is also a rare masterpiece that has been played on the radio in the PS2 game "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City," and has been parodied in many different ways across the ages.
