I don't know, since there are a lot of interpretations of what "dated" means.
And to me, the "80's" vibe doesn't "overwhelm" the content.  It's totally
subjective anyway, and you are also assuming that that's "bad".

That's a strawman argument, because you assume that's how I experience Club
Ninja ("It's the 80's!" first, music second).
