Coincidentally, I was just listening to a divorce song -- The Posies "Everyone Moves Away" from 1990 which is notable for being written about divorce from a Gen X perspective (not the first but, for example I think of the dBs "Amplifier" as a Gen X divorce song, but they were younger boomers).
It’s wild….but then it makes sense, too. I think there are many reasons the sound changed so drastically in the ‘80s, but the divorces I think have to be one of them. Thank you for the comment!

Very interesting piece. Playlist saved!
What about "Freebird"?
I love how you compared the two differences. I didn't realize how many divorce songs we had in the 80s.
