Love in the food court. Heartbreak on the Sunset Strip. This week, we honor Valley Girl (1983)—the film, the myth, the neon-drenched fever dream—and the bands that made it shimmer.

We’ve got Josie Cotton, The Plimsouls, Sparks, Bonnie Hayes, and some present-day weirdos keeping the eyeliner spirit alive.

Come for the mall music. Stay for the dive bar dreams. And maybe cry a little in the parking lot.
