    I think we miss these times not only because of nostalgia, but because they were not so fast, so rushed, so crowded, so complicated. Yes, life can be a bitch and we all have problems, but now it’s like you live your life like an ant and people are in a hurry all the time. Information comes at the speed of light, stress comes with the sound of a BLING on your cellphone and everybody is looking for digital entertainment, rather than interacting with someone. We kept imagining the future in the 80’s and 90’s. Well, guess what? The future is here and it looks grim as shit.

    Hi I am now
    approaching 70 so seen many decades ,the 60,s started it all and as a Brit as a kid embraced it ,the 70,s better still but honestly the 80,s were something else , a portal to our future with innocence ,an enjoyment of new music and technology ! Lived in the US then and totally loved it ,going to the mall and sitting in the arcade , no phones ,no apps and constant social media ! We had the best of all worlds ,the music was great , fashion simple and not expensive to most of us and I felt totally free and life was amazing ! Alas the future is even worse than we thought back then , we thought it would be fun but hell as a kid now alas it is like going back to 1935 , EVIL is on the rise again ,that,s not in the spirit of the 80,s ,maybe that sensation will arise again !

    I don't care how old I am now or how old in the future I reach. Part of me will always be a kid stuck in the 80s. No place I would rather be and would do anything to go back to that place again. This song/video is amazing but I felt both ecstatic/depressed at the same time. Youth really is wasted on the young. Any kids/teenagers reading this savour every second of your youth whilst you can. Don't keep looking to the future but enjoy the now. Because when your youth is over it is never coming back.

    The attachment to the 80's is one of the coolest things you get out of surfing music through TH-cam. I came into the 80's as a 17 year old...to wrap up your high school years early in the decade only to then flow into some absurdly crazy and fun college days while the decade was in full swing was most fortunate. The Midnight captures the vibe of the time so well that anytime it is combined with 80's based content it just works!!

    The 80s was all about selling Unbounded Optimism and Hope (albeit through Consumerism) that is why the ads and toys and the Joseph Campbell ChildHero archetypes narrative in these movies resonate so deeply with the 80s kids...
    and, why the 80s kids are all so clinically depressed and nostalgic now.
    But take heed, and take heart.
    that optimism and sense of wideeyed adventure is still out there.
    You need to find the joy and wonder and excitement again, and bring it back into this world that sorely needs it now.
    you aren't done exploring and the adventure isn't over; this is just the part where you are stuck in the Swamps of Sadness... the movie isn't quite done yet... unless you want it to be.
    Be Artax or Atreyu, it's your choice.

Widespread internet access, multinational corporations with as much power, mobile phones, social media, persistent terrorism threat, corrupt politics, and media coverage of every little disaster around the world. The world was so much simpler, so much more pure and carefree. I didn’t even exist back then and I can still sense that inevitable nostalgic pang people approaching middle age feel whenever a video like this makes an appearance. It’s incredible.

No Fortnite, no mobile phones, no Teletubbies etc. All of us who lived in the 80's and 90's now what music is, what movies are, how mud feels in your face ... Sabre Rider, Mask, Sancho & Pancho, Dr. Snuggles and so many more good cartoons to get up early in the morning and watch tv, before heading out getting dirty. Good old days
