Back in the days when you careless if you were a Rocker, Punk, Goth, Ghetto or just plain regular people and danced to the same kind of music.... I totally missed those days!
I love the fact that everyone is dancing so carefree with no bitchy looks from others. Everyone just enjoying the music with natural beauty, smiling faces.
So true. I even said to someone recently that it seems to me that so many young people for the past fifteen years look so unfriendly/grumpy/sour-like. Back in the '80s whether I was hanging out with the creatives types or more conservative friends, everyone, for the most part, was approachable and rather friendly. Some of the attitude today probably has to do with the invasion of technology.
Songs for anyone looking: 0:00 The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary 0:34 The Cramps - New Kind of Kick 1:20 Soft Cell - Bedsitter 2:50 Nocera - Summertime, Summertime (Original Club Mix) (it also sounds very much like this might be a live version, which I'm unable to locate anywhere aside from in this video. Either way, it's still the club mix and not the album version)
So amazing that they thought of recording this moment at the time. I don't think many clubs did that thing. The mixture of goth, new wave, new beat, pop, and freestyle was clever.
Hello clubs now must record but back then I guess it was maybe too expensive. There has got to be some video of me dancing at Thrillers niteclub, Confettis, Club ISIS, Lenotes Discotheque, Razmatazz nightclub or Butterfly's Suite, the Rotunda Revolving Lounge, Lipsticks or the Ritz, circa 84-87 In Metro Detroit.
Mia Lynn I hate to say this, but the 1980s were laced with homophobia to a degree that I don’t think kids can imagine anymore. Add HIV/AIDS to the mix, and 99 percent of the world were terrified of anything that could be even remotely construed as gay. Everyone in this video looks so damn happy because (1) this is a kickass nightclub that kids would drive miles across California to get to, with an amazing DJ who knows how to get people up and dancing, and (2) ecstasy was so damn easy to get, which is why everyone is chewing gum. The scene was very similar across the country.
I love the 80's, when i was a teenager! Great time! The music, the dance and the look! The time when we can choose between pop, rock, new wave, etc. Today's teen missed the best , and today music is shit!
Im 17 and know all the songs in this video. I really wish i was 17 in that era. It's so much better. So much less to worry about. I love the 80's and 90's. Everything was so carefree. Everyone was happier. I wish i was born during that time. Now, there's none of these cool nightclubs to go out to, you cant even walk around the block without being fearful. These were the days.
Sucks we can only wish you new era had this.. truly was The most awesome time.. I was only 8 in 1980 but still we ran around in the street without any fear.. ugh is their a rewind
Im 51 so Im well aware of that era!! Im from NY and I miss that era soooo badly!!! I know this comment is made 6 yrs in the future and you probably wont see it but I just wanted to say hello from the future!!
WOW! This brings back so many memories. Went there a couple of times... don't see myself in this video, but see SO many other people I recognize! Including the girl I used to work with and went out on a date with once (had a massive crush on her) at 2:09 with the long blond hair and black veil. We use to work together at Licorice Pizza Records in Clairemont. Wish I could get in touch with her (her name was Juliana) I miss those days so much!
It was about expressing yourself and not giving a shit about labeling your subculture like they do now days! Just have fun expressing urself and don't give a shit about anything.
Oh we certainly labeled and categorised. End up in the wrong club with the wrong cloths and you'd get your head kicked in...Skins, punks, mods, rockers, bikers, new romantics, hippies, rockabillies, goths, Smiths fans, disco freaks, the list is endless all had thier own hangouts
What are you talking about?? 80’s was the biggest era for labeling subculture, young people became extremely definded by the kind of music they heard and hung out in groups of like minded people more than every before. Look no futher than the different clubs in this video, there is a clear look in each place, but they don’t really blend with each other. You don’t see someone looking like a metalhead in the New Wave club. Today the whole thing is a lot more muddied. Young people aren’t defining themselves by music in the same way any more and if you follow a subculture, it’s much more likely to have friends with people from other groups. This is probably in large part because of the internet, because many people are now part of a lot more than one community. You can be goth and huge gamer for example and nobody would bat an eye.
If that is you with the blue wig, I would have liked to have danced with you back then. I was clubbing during that same time, but on the East coast in Philly.
The 80's and 90's was the last of some of the best years when everyone wasn't offended by everything, or staring at their phones, but instead just enjoying the music and dancing.
Funny thing right now, I'm currently stoned and found this video out of the blue and was amazed on how cool people danced in the club scene during the 80s. I'm from 98 and I wonder if the club scene is still that great to this day, or if any of my friends would be interested in going to a place like this or something similar? Great moves, guys and chicks :)
What also made this era of clubbing great was the different groups of people still got along for the most part. It was long after this point the groups splintered off into their own.
4:32 WHAM! shirts (George Michael) Boy, I miss those days. Good thing I've been a dj since 1987, and have been buying records all my life. I have all the great club records that are in these club videos. My time machine begins when I'm on the turntables!
Love this video. And I love how you can hear Nocera singing "Summertime Summetime" live in the background at about 3 minutes in. Fuck, I grew up in the wrong generation.
Damn......how I miss the Stiff Stuff hairspray! This era will never come back. The 80s didn't have people shooting each other like the clubs (if you wanna call me clubs) of today. Great memories!
It is very addictive to watch these videos and when you go from one to another you see the same people with different clothes, hairstyles or even hair color and you doubt if they are really the same; until they start dancing and you think "oh yes, of course it's the same person".
Love the videos... a blast from the past... Reminds me of our club sceen here in NYC and on Long Island. These young adults must be in their mid 50s now.... Need a where are they now video .....
I just came across these vidoes. What is truly amazing, is this footage actually exists!!! I was 24 in 87. I know for a fact, photos and especially filmiing was kind of "what the **** are you doing man?" We were NOT a narcissistic bunch lol. Or maybe it was, "I dont want any record of that shit im doing!" I have zero pics of the parties i went to. Certainly no footage of the many nights spent in clubs. And believe me, Vancouver in the 80s was happening. 😂 I feel sorry for my kids. Now, its like "excuse me while I stare at my phone." Or shame someone on tiktoc or whatever. I was truly blessed to be a young person in the 80s.
Ohh I miss the 80’s. 😢. Wild hair! The bigger the better! The makeup. The clothes! The crazy music! ❤️ I never got into the punk hair or music. I was into Van Halen, Metallica, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Ozzy, Lita Ford, Cinderella, Whitesnake, etc. I’d still listen to them today. ❤️
I lived in a border town call Laredo, Texas. We would cross into Mexico and the exact same thing was happening there! The 80s were happy times pretty much everywhere! I was only 17yo!!
there was a Teen dance Club in Fresno, CA called the Lighthouse at the same time as this the same music was being played there, soon there will be a video up of footage from that club.
My friend had to drop his girlfriend off at Danceopolis in Mount Clemens Michigan then we'd hit the clubs, Danceopolis would ID you, you had to be like 16or under. We'd razz him about that. Lol
truly sorry. your gen is pretty fucking awful. I can't even begin to tell you how exciting it was back then, everything was new and being defined as we went along... you actually had to go to clubs to hear new music - you would rely on DJs to play you the newest tracks. All the songs you hear in this - even the ones you know almost NEVER got played on the radio back then. They were actually 'underground' (with the exception of a bunch of crappy freestyle tracks) - there was so much new stuff but you really had to hunt for it, where as today you're kind of sifting through the garbage all the time. I'm still not over it. I always try to bring this element with me to DJ gigs today but most people only want to hear crap they know which I think is idiotic.
just wish your generation could come up with something new instead regurgitating shit everyone else did years ago. the hairstyles and fashion of the 80s should stay in the 80s, same with the 90s. And mashing the 2 together and calling it your own is not what I mean by original.
We all had issues back then :) You can tell no one was used to being filmed. We didn't even have a camcorders. Hell, we were lucky to have cordless phones. If you watch everyone you'll see they are all mostly shy, giddy, or show-offs like a lot of teens nowadays. Except we always were smoking cigs and more than likely drunk. (at least we all were at the So. California club I spent my weekends at) We leaned a tad bit to the goth side. I remember sharing eyeliner and lipstick with my boyfriend and we used tons of Aqua Net. But we still had issues. We all wanted to fit in and we all had our hearts broken many times over. There was a lot of depression then too, just different triggers. I lost 3 friends to suicide within 3 years. So it wasn't all peachy all the time. xo
I agree but don't forget that during the 80's new distinct genres of music were popping out, a real boom of music even through the early 90's, not anymore.
Interesting how different people reacted to the camera back then compare to now. Everyone here just continues to enjoy themselves, maybe gets a bit shy or embarrassed. Now people can't wait to be on camera, pose, etcetera.
Our generation was the prettiest n PERFECT n sober n reveaked our talents n stylish WEAR n NOBODY cant beat that javi sarawak dancer baddest dancer in the USA OUCH thank
This series is likely that best of their kind i'v seen on TH-cam. I can remember someone who looked like most of the people in the video series. We looked that way everyday in our lives. Dancing got you so high.
I was born in 97. I saw a massive change in our society throughout the 2000s with my own eyes. My dad was an 80s guy. He was in a thrash band in California, so he saw all the wonders of the world. We both agree that something is very wrong these days. Most of the kids today complain about it. How they all feel out of touch and depressed, anxious, and out of place. That's just regular teens and young adults. I know some say that's how every generation is. To a degree that is true. But most will agree, something is very wrong. I hope we find balance and create something better and fresh. I think the 80s shined because you had to create your own sound and not copy and paste everything. You had to really earn your way to becoming a musician. Now, any kid with a laptop, a mic, and a closet can post something on sound cloud and make a crappy mumble rap song that sounds like a drunk goat. But few can truly write music and make people feel something. Not saying tech is all bad. But it has been abused, not used as a tool but as an escape. Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't enjoy today. Some of it is ok, but nothing feels great. Idk.
Ahhh...flashback...I was part of this generation....Lived it, loved it....The 1980s still live at my TH-cam channel...Come party with Psychic Bob! See you there at "SpiritChannel."
2:38 is my old friend Damon...tho I didn't know him at this time, we met a few years later when I was working at City Deli in Hillcrest. I lived right around the corner from Stratus for a year. Having just moved to SD, it was the best thing to happen to have had round the corner! I was only 14, so I was probably going mainly 85' and maybe part of 86' before moving to University Heights. I don't even know if I'd recognize myself if I was in any of these LOL There was also a 50's style car hop next door!
The 3 girls between 02:00 and 02:18 are definitely my style. One has those deep piercing eyes and a beautiful dark gothic aura around her, and the other two look kind of mystical and otherwordly. Love the way they smile and dance.
This was so fun!! I went there alot in the 80's but mostly on the nights where they played rap music. Do they post videos of those nights on this channel too?
They are in their 50s and 60's now, and I was the punk too young to get in so I was in the parking lot robbing there sentras and jettas, for jvc pullout decks and cigarettes.....lol....true story
I love how back then everyone had their own style of dancing and looks like there was no one there that judged. Just dancing and having fun! Dance like no one is watching! ;) And twerking wasn’t a thing then, thank god !
Rhoda Yackez ya exactly! I love love the style then and being a young child of the 80s, I knew I wanted to be a grown up now because everything was so cool and the girls were so pretty and I idolized every teen/young women became of their fashion style and hair. I was born in the wrong decade. Lol.

Well said. Much love to you.
Exactly they let us be who we wanted to be
If you showed up to a hard core punk show looking like this you would have got your ass beat, sorry to burst your rose colored glasses bubble
Your just old you fuck.
I love the fact that everyone is dancing so carefree with no bitchy looks from others. Everyone just enjoying the music with natural beauty, smiling faces.
We were too cool to be offended.
Plus there weren't the availability or need for tons of I need to be fabulous drugs. That was more an accessory than necessity. No one cared

That's how proper white parties are usually
These kids will veterans know of the music variety that we had 80s were the best time ever I will miss it.
every generation thinks they did something different. The 80s actually did. These kids are unique AF.
Songs for anyone looking:
0:00 The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary
0:34 The Cramps - New Kind of Kick
1:20 Soft Cell - Bedsitter
2:50 Nocera - Summertime, Summertime (Original Club Mix) (it also sounds very much like this might be a live version, which I'm unable to locate anywhere aside from in this video. Either way, it's still the club mix and not the album version)
Thank you Joe!
uppppppppppppp
Bedsitter
That would have been my kind of club
Echo, Sisters, Mission UK, Chameleons, Yaz, Bolshoi
Thank you! ♥️ The Cult.
Thanks cool of you to do !!
This was in the Hollywood clubs too in 82-86. Man who knew we were the last generation to have fun.
Camille I had fun in the 90s. Might not have been the 80s but it was still good.
shut the fuck up boomer
Well said, the 90s had their "raves", but it wasn't the same--their was this feeling of disconnection. And, the 2000s....forget about.
Do you remember the seven seas night club in Hollywood?
That was the last generation you had fun in you mean.
AH! The 80s! Nothing like getting burned by someone's cigarette on the dance floor. I would sell my soul to go back!
***** Like, I really care. She doesn't either.
Bye, Felicia.
***** LOL, thanks for letting her live rent free in your pea brain. Have a super Madonna week.
Buh-bye

No such thing as "freestyle" or "new beat" . You must be a Millennial
@@V8Deuce do genres or terms magically disappear just because you don't personally use them? big strong man 🥺
@@hand__banana They don't magically "disappear" , they are magically appearing........
the styles were iconic. men and women both wore makeup, without free of being called “gay”. some of these styles are making a come back though

Not a gay club. To mention the appearances of people is ignorant of the venue. It's New wave alternative music club.
@@specialkaran shows you dont know shit I know plenty of teens and 20 somethings who wish they had been around back then so STFU
Now if the music would make a come back
Men wearing makeup?? That is gay. What the hell are you talking about???
To have a time machine, go back to the 80s then once we reach 1999 we go back all over again
I love the 80's, when i was a teenager! Great time! The music, the dance and the look! The time when we can choose between pop, rock, new wave, etc. Today's teen missed the best , and today music is shit!
NO CELLPHONES!!!
It was about actually talking and dancing with people!!

Aww thank you for not thinking we where uncool in the 80s
I mean they aren't that cool I've seen much cooler 80s peeps
My goal in life is to actually time travel so we'll see how well that works out for me
Its just confidence and a refined style look
2020: I see that camera, LOOK AT ME! - Pose. Pose. Duck face. Pose.
1986: I see that camera, I'll pretend I didn't.
spudfrommars , so true Dude 👌
1996 gabberrave: I eat the camera
🦆🦆
I'm to cool & anti-social for that. Pull drag off clove cigarette. Act bothered.
Rinse & repeat.
We understood how to be cool.
I was truly blessed to live the 80’s unbelievable music,fashion, just fun !!! 18 was the drinking age back in Miami . Everyone just wanted to dance
Such a brilliant mix of people , what a great documentary this is , it needs no narration , it's the 80's , that's it . Love this
Im 17 and know all the songs in this video. I really wish i was 17 in that era. It's so much better. So much less to worry about. I love the 80's and 90's. Everything was so carefree.

Sucks we can only wish you new era had this.. truly was The most awesome time.. I was only 8 in 1980 but still we ran around in the street without any fear.. ugh is their a rewind
Theres a cool club in every city you just got to.find it and get in.
Summertime ❤❤ Summertime❤️❤️

Are you gay?
@Lays I don't know her name but I remember seeing her around back then.
@Erik Haack obvious troll is obvious.
Ela é uma garota que chama muito atenção!
It was about expressing yourself and not giving a shit about labeling your subculture like they do now days! Just have fun expressing urself and don't give a shit about anything.
It was all labeled back then too,… I was there,… though I didn't go in the club, just wasn't into that scene, but it was good
Oh we certainly labeled and categorised. End up in the wrong club with the wrong cloths and you'd get your head kicked in...Skins, punks, mods, rockers, bikers, new romantics, hippies, rockabillies, goths, Smiths fans, disco freaks, the list is endless all had thier own hangouts

that's so awesome :D was hoping there would be someone who would recognised themselves on this or maybe someone they know or are related to haha
Fucking awesome!
If that is you with the blue wig, I would have liked to have danced with you back then. I was clubbing during that same time, but on the East coast in Philly.
The 80's and 90's was the last of some of the best years when everyone wasn't offended by everything, or staring at their phones, but instead just enjoying the music and dancing.
TOTALLY 👍🏻!
Back in the 90s we always thought ... a phone is for in your living room ... it was not in oure mind too think about a phone ... soo weird 💀🤣
And 00s
Kids(or anyone under 28),you may find your parents or Uncle&Aunt at these Clubs back during the 1980s.
The absolutely best time of my life!! I was 23, and a total punk rocker!! 😁
Funny thing right now, I'm currently stoned and found this video out of the blue and was amazed on how cool people danced in the club scene during the 80s. I'm from 98 and I wonder if the club scene is still that great to this day, or if any of my friends would be interested in going to a place like this or something similar? Great moves, guys and chicks :)
Everyone would be on their phones instead of dancing... :(
I love that this is on video, these people will be young and free forever
I love how everyone has their own unique style and they rock it to the fullest! No copies.
What also made this era of clubbing great was the different groups of people still got along for the most part. It was long after this point the groups splintered off into their own.
2020 and still thanking God for allowing me to live the 80s

La DÉCADA de ORO los 80 esa fue una década ya quisiera la juventud de ahora vivir esos días, . . .
I could watch these all day.
Living in the moment in the 80s, great time to be a youth
Fun will save the world... bring it back
OMG at 01:20, Soft Cell Bedsitter, such a classic!
Man, I wish I could go back to that time.. I didn't realize how lucky I was!! To go back to then, knowing what I know now!! ❤

Wow summertime by nocera at 3:14 that was my jam back then! I was 19 I’m 53 now! I wanna fucking cry watching this! Lol 😂
Damn......how I miss the Stiff Stuff hairspray! This era will never come back. The 80s didn't have people shooting each other like the clubs (if you wanna call me clubs) of today. Great memories!
I miss this night club 😭 so much! I'm glad this was my time I LOVE THE 80'S

This is '80's, not the '90's. Summertime Summertime came out in 1986.

I'm still not over it. I always try to bring this element with me to DJ gigs today but most people only want to hear crap they know which I think is idiotic.
History repeats itself... back in the 80s, the elders used to criticize our ways as well... Getting old sucks!
just wish your generation could come up with something new instead regurgitating shit everyone else did years ago. the hairstyles and fashion of the 80s should stay in the 80s, same with the 90s. And mashing the 2 together and calling it your own is not what I mean by original.
We all had issues back then :) You can tell no one was used to being filmed. We didn't even have a camcorders. Hell, we were lucky to have cordless phones. If you watch everyone you'll see they are all mostly shy, giddy, or show-offs like a lot of teens nowadays. Except we always were smoking cigs and more than likely drunk. (at least we all were at the So. California club I spent my weekends at) We leaned a tad bit to the goth side. I remember sharing eyeliner and lipstick with my boyfriend and we used tons of Aqua Net. But we still had issues. We all wanted to fit in and we all had our hearts broken many times over. There was a lot of depression then too, just different triggers. I lost 3 friends to suicide within 3 years. So it wasn't all peachy all the time. xo
I agree but don't forget that during the 80's new distinct genres of music were popping out, a real boom of music even through the early 90's, not anymore.
Cramps music all day! Gr8 videos😎
Interesting how different people reacted to the camera back then compare to now. Everyone here just continues to enjoy themselves, maybe gets a bit shy or embarrassed. Now people can't wait to be on camera, pose, etcetera.
Memories of my times. It's a shame that I don't have any records from that time myself :-)

This series is likely that best of their kind i'v seen on TH-cam. I can remember someone who looked like most of the people in the video series. We looked that way everyday in our lives. Dancing got you so high.
awwww sweet memories of the music and the girls♡♡♡♡
The guy with the yellow shirt and blue hair is so cute! 😻
2.56 I STILL PLAY THIS SONG. ALL OLD CLASSICS ON USB.IN MY CAR
2:56.
That's how to put a timemark. (Use colon).
I was born in 97. I saw a massive change in our society throughout the 2000s with my own eyes. My dad was an 80s guy. He was in a thrash band in California, so he saw all the wonders of the world. We both agree that something is very wrong these days. Most of the kids today complain about it. How they all feel out of touch and depressed, anxious, and out of place. That's just regular teens and young adults. I know some say that's how every generation is. To a degree that is true. But most will agree, something is very wrong. I hope we find balance and create something better and fresh. I think the 80s shined because you had to create your own sound and not copy and paste everything. You had to really earn your way to becoming a musician. Now, any kid with a laptop, a mic, and a closet can post something on sound cloud and make a crappy mumble rap song that sounds like a drunk goat. But few can truly write music and make people feel something. Not saying tech is all bad. But it has been abused, not used as a tool but as an escape. Maybe I'm wrong. But I don't enjoy today. Some of it is ok, but nothing feels great. Idk.
I was born in 93 and I totally agree
America I love it. Today. Not the same.
Ahhh...flashback...I was part of this generation....Lived it, loved it....The 1980s still live at my TH-cam channel...Come party with Psychic Bob! See you there at "SpiritChannel."
2:38 is my old friend Damon...tho I didn't know him at this time, we met a few years later when I was working at City Deli in Hillcrest. I lived right around the corner from Stratus for a year. Having just moved to SD, it was the best thing to happen to have had round the corner! I was only 14, so I was probably going mainly 85' and maybe part of 86' before moving to University Heights. I don't even know if I'd recognize myself if I was in any of these LOL There was also a 50's style car hop next door!
I love the two at 4:00 their pace is so different from everyone else
The guys in the 80s ware hot
We still are, ...............But now, only in the dark. :(
These look like people I was friends with back in the day. I wasn't old enough to get into clubs though.
Heh...I wasn't either...didn't let that stop me
4:21 The one girl that can dance in this vid.
4:45 yo, someone brought their little sis lol
That's drew barrymoorw
They should have babysitted that night ... so the kid had to go to the party 😂
Lucky kid!
The 3 girls between 02:00 and 02:18 are definitely my style.
One has those deep piercing eyes and a beautiful dark gothic aura around her, and the other two look kind of mystical and otherwordly. Love the way they smile and dance.
Totally agree
*I still love this*
I grew up with this people. I was 18 and turning 19 in 1987.
Best era ever
What a blast it was! So much fun! 🍾🎸🎊🎉
Dude,i would give anything to go to a club where they play the Cult❤❤❤damn these days were amazing ❤
This how clubs were when I was growing up it will never be this awesome and cool like this again....
No phones, no visible tattoos and an effort to look creative. AWESOME!!!
This was so fun!! I went there alot in the 80's but mostly on the nights where they played rap music. Do they post videos of those nights on this channel too?
I would like to know how these people look like now.
Whats your channel man?
Me too!!
They are in their 50s and 60's now, and I was the punk too young to get in so I was in the parking lot robbing there sentras and jettas, for jvc pullout decks and cigarettes.....lol....true story
@@trentdawg2832 They aren't that old. Not 60s. These kids would be late 40s/early 50s now.
Like me!
This is so cool. I listen to Nocera all the time in the car with my mom.
My dad had a freaking mullet and definitely went to one of these clubs lmaoooo
lol comments on parents on these videos are soooooo weird
I love how back then everyone had their own style of dancing and looks like there was no one there that judged. Just dancing and having fun! Dance like no one is watching! ;) And twerking wasn’t a thing then, thank god !
..we had ‘the dirty dog’ as the highly sexualized dance back then lol
People didn't dance like strippers then. I know I was in my 20s then. Plus we wore clothing lolol
Rhoda Yackez ya exactly! I love love the style then and being a young child of the 80s, I knew I wanted to be a grown up now because everything was so cool and the girls were so pretty and I idolized every teen/young women became of their fashion style and hair. I was born in the wrong decade. Lol.
@@karmaa7716 same here. Except I came along 20 years after you did. At least I didn't have to grow up with emos and pop-punk
I always came home with cigarette burns in my clothes. I never smoked but the clubs were full of ciggy smokers and my clothes paid the price 😁
