It's from 1985, a year that not much songs like "Eighties" came out. New wave era ended about 2 years earlier and Post punk was no longer relevant, and i think the song is about killing joke's feeling about their music.
I mean, in the charts at that time, The Europop-trash style was dominant, and killing joke style was not so popular in 1985.
