How do you classify / organize your shitty 80s albums?

I guess the word "shitty" is relative.
So you know the 80s records you buy for like $1 at the goodwill? One hit wonders like Men At Work or Tears for fears or to a lesser extent Janet Jackson or Maddona. Stuff you just spin for girls at parties.
How do you classify these records?
I have just a section I call "dance" which includes disco. I am thinking about breaking stuff out now as my collection grows.
Does anyone just organize their stuff simply "80s shit"?

I organize all my records by Decade + "Shit".
"80's Shit", "70's Shit", "60's Shit", etc...
Then, within those categories, I delineate into sub-categories:
"80's Shit to Eventually Discard"
"80's Shit to Use as Plates to Eat On"
"80's Shit to Bring in Tub", so on so forth
I do in Serato (actually, the crate is called "Stupid Shit"). As far as vinyl, I have very, very few of those records. I never had very many to begin with, and I unloaded pretty much all of them once I got Serato. The few remainders I have are filed under rock/pop.

Any time I need them I can go support my local record shop and leave with an armload for $10.
All my good 80s stuff is filed by genre, although I do keep a party section.
80s disco.
