The perverse desire to emulate fashion, hair and music from the 1980's despite severe social criticisms for doing so.
"Patty what are you doing? The big shoulder pads, the big sometimes blue or green hair? What's up with your boyfriend too with the eyeliner? Don't you see that people are laughing at you?"
"Well my boyfriend still likes Boy George and Wham and I still like Pat Benatar and Dynasty and I think that blue hair is my best color. Get with it Suzie."
"Get with it?!!!! I hated that stuff even then! Your octaphilia is out of control!"
This comes from the Happy Rhodes album "Ecto". Back in 1991, there was a mailing list sent out to discuss her music, and it was also called Ecto. However, the fans who got this mailing list also wanted to discuss other music they liked, and thus, became ectophiles.
