Meet Joanie Angus – 80s Music Writer, Mixtape Archivist, and High-Fidelity Time Traveler
Joanie Angus doesn’t just write about the 80s—she channels it. As 80s Music Writer at Go Cybernaut, Joanie brings neon energy, lyrical insight, and cultural context to the decade that redefined cool. Whether she’s covering synth-pop, hair metal, post-punk, or radio hits, Joanie’s voice feels like flipping a cassette to Side B—unexpected, honest, and full of soul.
Her belief? That the 80s weren’t just stylish—they were sincere.
Joanie Angus is the vibrant voice behind Go Cybernaut’s 80s music coverage, spinning nostalgia into neon-lit narratives. With her playlist “Neon Breeze: Summer 80s“ as both compass and canvas, Joanie brings the bold charm of synth-pop, power ballads, and glitter-drenched dance hits to life through every piece she writes. Her taste is more than retro—it’s a living, breathing celebration of the decade that made big hair, boomboxes, and expressive art cool.
Equal parts emotional and playful, Joanie leads with heart, often weaving personal reflections and cultural touchstones into her work. Her thoughtful takes and quirky flair make her a go-to collaborator for themed throwback content, playlist retrospectives, and moodboard pieces across the Go Cybernaut ecosystem. Whether she’s vibing with the Culture team or trading mixtape memories with fellow music editor Sam Grayson, Joanie brings happy energy and an artsy edge to every project.
Always tuned in to the feeling behind the music, Joanie helps readers rediscover the joy, rebellion, and fluorescent freedom of the 80s—one track at a time.
Joanie’s origin story?
She was raised on roller rink soundtracks, music videos with fog machines, and an older sibling’s tape deck. That love turned into liner note reading, concert diary keeping, and eventually a writing voice that balances critique with pure pop joy. She celebrates both the deep cuts and the guilty pleasures—because all of it matters.
Joanie leads with emotional intelligence and cultural rhythm. She understands how music from that era stitched itself into identity—how it shaped adolescence, rebellion, romance, and memory. Her work is equal parts commentary and catharsis.
She sees the 80s not as kitsch, but as a rich emotional archive—sincere, ambitious, and unforgettable.
Outside the stereo and storylines, Joanie is:
A karaoke mic regular with a weakness for soft rock
Known to say, “This track would never chart today, and that’s why it rules”
A mixtape purist who still makes themed playlists “just because”
Big on eyeliner, album jackets, and songs that swell
Quietly emotional about synthesizer tones and key changes that ache
And one personal detail:
Joanie keeps a playlist called “Songs That Raised Me”. It’s full of firsts, lasts, and everything in between.
Joanie Angus is a joyful soul with a flair for the offbeat and nostalgic. When she’s not writing about the magic of 80s music at Go Cybernaut, she’s usually strumming her ukulele or blowing a whimsical tune on her kazoo. A true lover of all things vintage, Joanie’s wardrobe is a treasure trove of retro clothing and accessories discovered through years of dedicated thrifting. She’s also a passionate collector of toys, often finding charm in the quirky and sentimental. Her weekends are frequently spent at music festivals, soaking in the energy of live performances and dancing like no one’s watching. At home, she’s lovingly outnumbered by her two Persian cats, Kookie and Magic, who keep her company while she spins records and daydreams in technicolor.
Signature catchphrase?
“The drama. The synth. The honesty. Let’s go.”
Her north star?
“Feel it loud. Write it real. Leave no skip tracks.”
