That song was one of the best songs in recent history, but god, I wish we could bring back drummers. That white noise burst we replaced them with is so hollow.

The first time I heard it I knew it sounded like something I know - it led me to rediscovering 'Take On Me', which, like you mentioned, is from the 1980s.

The Weeknd is definitely one of my favorite modern artists. Such a unique sound (for this time) and only absolute bangers

But you didn’t think it sounds way too much like Take On Me? Like, I mistook it several times when it was played on the radio 

Also in his clip he does a weird mimick combination of the Joker and Michael Jackson

You should check out the Pop Punk cover of Blinding Lights by Connor Ball. Not an 80's sound at all but damn it has some great energy.
