The eighties are the loudest decade in the archive: color-block windbreakers, aerobics leotards over tights, leg warmers, scrunchies, and shoulders with architecture. Nothing is subtle and nothing should be — commit to saturated color on saturated color and let the camera cope.

Solid seamless backdrops in competing brights are the classic set; add a boombox or roller skates and the story tells itself. The aerobics look works brilliantly for duos and groups — matching-but-clashing leotards read instantly as a workout-video homage.
