Most 80's music was uninteresting, bland, over-hyped etc, but there was some different stuff about. Try these for starters:
Wire-
Propaganda-
Magazine-
Siouxsie And The Banshees-

Wire was an interesting band. Started out as straight-up punk in the mid-70's.(Maybe the first "Queercore" band?) and on into electronica in the early 80's.
The Banshees I never got,but a lot of my friends loved them. I was into the Psych Furs and 2-Tone Ska by then.
I know I've got something by Magazine around here somewhere,but I haven't listened to it in 20 years.
The same with Propaganda. They were on/distributed Enigma for a short while,I believe? I used to get samplers from that label.

Warning! Cheesy as fuck, 80s inspired electronica music.
Also, I think these guys sound very much like they wish they were London Calling/Sandinista era Clash.
What's Bruce Lee's favourite drink? Wataaahhhhh!!

Some of my favorite 80s bands that started then would be The Police, U2, G&R, Metallica, Berlin. But other of my fave 80s bands started before such as Rush (my all time fave band), Scorpions, Heart, Ozzy, Blue Oyster Cult, Jethro Tull, Genesis, Jefferson Starship, ZZ Top, Judas Priest, Van Halen and others I can't think of now.
