Doamino41 nope! I like having the option of marrying my girlfriend without persecution or death. You have no clue what you’d give up in life if you went to the 80’s. Sincerely, the daughter of an 80’s teen who told it real.
@@seasonsstarsstudios I can understand that you can't really relate to the 80's because you are the "daughter of an 80s teen". You are from a different generation.You didn't grow up in that era and lesbianism wasn't accepted much back then. But movies were better, TV was better,music was better and America was better. If I had a chance to go back to the 80s I would see my family again. Now they are all gone. For most of us the 80s were a very special time.
Speak for yourself... ;-) I grew up in the 80s having the most horrible time of my life. So much things are so much better now. Believe me.. Love the music but want to stay in 2020!
growing up as a kid in the 70's and being a teen in the 80's....priceless the 80's was the best..period. Can i have a show of hands if you're still listening to this in 2019 the 80's was the best..period. I was a teenager in the greatest decade ever !!!!
@honkster 7 I think what I'm saying is that , like the clothes from the 70's & 80's , we were just learning how to make good music. I started out, growing up with this, but evolved as I aged
When I went to school, there were no computers, no internet, no cell phones and no cable tv. Life was so much better back then. Also, if you wanted a job, you went to the company and asked to see the hiring manager. Half the time, you got the job and you started working within the same week. Makes you think, just for a brief moment at least, that we arent as advanced as we claim to be in the year 2020.
ya amazing what rose tinted glasses can do for you isn't it mate. i was a kid in the late 60s 70s and a young man in the 80s. it was sh^t compared with the worst of today. anyone that thinks back then was better needs a good hard slap in the face.
And it was easy to get a good job, benefits, health and life insurance, retirement accounts, even good dental.......................my parents could afford on two jobs to own a large home in a big city and land and a small house in a nearby state to use for holidays and eventually to retire to...........each had a new car every three to five years............not just push credit but actually buy a car trading in their old one and then making payments for 12 months or less and it was paid off...............i started working an official job just as the unions were being broken up and reagen became president..............i have worked either full time plus at one job or two to three jobs.................i rent, i owned a home but a shit partner and a costly divorce took that.....i have been in debt and all it took was two family members decades apart having cancer and all that entails.............broke.............as in i get the 'sign up with us for your new credit card" and when i call they look at the medical bills left to me(yeah, like a horrible inheritance...no i was not married to either....and yet they hunted me down for decades.........vultures)...........they of course had no insurance and the bills were astronomical............think $5000 per bag of whatever they got three times a week, and oncology doctor charges $3000 plus per visit...........and even though i worked two jobs while caring for the first one i still went in debt up to my eyeballs paying just the minimum thousands and thousands of dollars a month. The last patients bills were over $1.7 million dollars and they still died............horribly..............yep they will charge you that much to poison you or a loved one and still let them die...............when the crap insurance i had decided they wouldn't pay anymore the docs pretty much told us to take cancer patient home and wait for them to die........................that is todays america
God, I wish I was 19 in the 80s. Things seemed so much simpler. No cell phones, easier to find a job, if you liked a girl, you called her, simple as that. None of this texting bullshit. And the music. My god, the music.
+liam kirk And scared of AIDS, scared of a nuclear holocaust, and trapped in a decade obsessed about money, power and success at any cost. And when boys prefered girls who looked like that 05:05
Unless you lived the 80s, you can't really know what it was like. It was like nothing we will ever experience again. Wish I could go back and stay there forever!
True. I was 20 in 1980. Got my first full time job and my own place in 81. Watched the early days of MTV. Being a teenager in the 70's was awesome too. Dazed and Confused!
These movies, Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, are all iconic and helped mold me into who I am today! I was born in the 80's and didnt realize just how amazing of a decade it really was to be alive in. Not until now, in 2020, when we have no freedoms and high schools are ghost towns around here, there will never be a saturday detention handed out again. No more running through the halls to escape being caught while skipping class. Kind of heartbreaking and this song is a bittersweet reminder for us all to never forget who we truly are and where we started. 2019 wasnt all that bad after all eh?
You are right. Detention may be a thing of the past now. Even as early as 2001 I taught at a high school in SE Houston, and we had no Detention, although I think we could have used it. Kids were getting away with almost anything.
The best movies were in the 80's! If it wasn't for these movies I dont know where I'd be today! Time goes by so so fast, one minute you are a kid in the 80's and the next, you blink and you are 48 year old single mum.
Graduated from high school in 1985. This was *THE* song and movie from that spring. Who else remembers the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 and spending afternoons at the arcade feeding quarters into games like Defender, Paperboy, Qix, Tempest, Berzerk, Frogger, and Missile Command?
fleiva30 So many great songs, and the videos did so much to amplify the message of those songs. Especially true with the videos from movie soundtracks.
I graduated high school in 1983. Got my first full time job in 1985. What a time to be alive. Cable TV had all those channels....most worth watching. Radio wasn't filled with the same group of songs played, every day. People didn't have their faces stuck to small devices. Well, some had huge devices stuck to the side of their heads, LOL. It was a better time to be alive. Oh to find a flux capacitor and some plutonium.
I desperately miss the 80s. I'd give up my cellphone and online videogames, social media and online shopping just to be back in that time, when possibilities seemed endless and I was a young adult.
I dont care what anyone says, this has to be the best movi ever made.......the only one that reveals every teen has their own problems whether rich, smart, strange, poor or academic. This movie is a staple in time, long live my 80's, those who didnt live it, will never truly understand all the great orchestral music we had. OMD, Simple Minds, Thompson Twins, Flock of seagulls, why the heck did it all end?
Drew Grow I wouldn't say evolved, per se, but changed. It's all a question of what you are trying to accomplish, what your aim is. Music reflects the people, the general attitude and level of understanding, in many different ways.
Max Wheeler I agree!!!!!! GREAT music......I was born in the late 70s but totally LOOOOOOOVED watching MTV (remember when it started) I have 3 older siblings......this movie is still so good (watched it with my 14 yo son and he thought it was great)..... still true to this day .... I loved it all. I think it ended b/c everyone stopped doing blow???? idk?????
Time passed, and all Good Things Must Come To An End. Even classic music and movies like The Breakfast Club most move on too, sadly. Is ok, when todays young generation moves on past the current crap they will rediscover the glory they never had the chance to enjoy of the past in popular culture.
Jeannie McCarthy Thank you for the reply Jeannie, it was such a priveledge to listen to live 105 SF radio station and hear Blancmange, tears for fears, naked eyes, duran, depeche, steven tin tin duffy, anything on Sire records and im so glad you watched the B club movie with your son as its coined the movie all teens should watch". I should float a CD to you of mp3's I have the BEST of 80's collection from dark wave, ska, new wave, synth pop as I was a dj during this time. I have a video I posted in 89 when I was 19, my first gig, check it out "My first dj gig at 20 in 1989 (Roller Rink and old hip hop)" is the title. But you would love the collection I can share to you and your siblings all on 1 disc, I do this alot for friends. Oh pleeaassee listen to New Order-Your silent face, my goodness its a beautiful tune of electronic orchestras and drums and bouncy synths, youll see if you hear it.
Ah, the 80's...The music, the movies; no one's ever really been able to put their finger on it, but that decade had something that no other has been able to capture, or ever will. Yeah, kids laugh at us who grew up back then( maybe that time wasn't "dope" or "sick" enough for them), but for us children of the 80's, it represents a period when everything just meshed together perfectly, a time that had never existed before and sadly, may never exist again, but as long as that decade is remembered and we play the music and screen the movies for our kids, grandkids, etc., it will never die!!
you hust described how every generation feels about their childhood. replace the 80's in your tekst by 90's or 70's and it still is the same. every generation thinks so about themselves
That is very true...I may not be from around that time but, just looking back at all of the music, movies, clothes, gangs ect. Is very empowering that there was once a mind set that made you go to another world. I love the 80's vibes I will always love them.
"The Breakfast Club" is timeless because it captures so well the pain and angst and uncertainty and struggles of this period of life-and especially how hard it is to deal with the damage and trauma lousy parents create in young minds and hearts. The young actors are perfect and hit it out of the park-and the writing and directing by John Hughes are fantastic. Oh, and the song perfectly catches the soul of the movie and the times.
I can agree with the lousy parenting I was kicked out of the house on my birthday when I was 15! I grew up in the 80'S when music, movies and Friends were all I ever had and all that was important to me. Can I go back to the 80'S?
The themes of teenage life in the 80s are the same as they are today. The world has changed. Technology has changed how kids see the world, but the world still sees kids the same way as it did 30 years ago. That's why this film will always been relevant and timeless. It captures teenage life better than any film before and since.
Life before safe spaces!! We dealt in reality and it was hard but stand and handle your business! Millennials are trash!!once you endure shit you realize you can handle it!
Entropy Regen Speaking if seeing kids the same way as 30 years ago...I suggest rereading the quote by Mr. Bowie that opens this movie and the comment above.
I'm 57, was born in 1962, and can tell you that while the 70s were fun in its own way, the 80s were absolutely incredible, especially with so many genres of music and the advent of the music video. IT WAS THE BEST DECADE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE! ❤️
Born in 1981. Not a day goes by when I don't put on 80's music. The other day, went to a pub and they played an 80's song and even the younger generation went crazy. We were really lucky to be kids in that decade.
Ozzie Welte We we’re lucky. I turned 13 in 1980! Right place, right time. It wasn’t all Roses, but it beat the hell out of today. We knew how to live and weren’t told what to say and think. I feel sorry for today’s generation, they can’t see how skewed life has become..they gotta live in the real world, not a virtual one. Remember talking to people face to face? Ah well, maybe it’s gonna be our job to teach them some good old fashioned life skills. We’re selling them short if we don’t.
As a person that experienced the 80's in my teenage years, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it was an incredible decade. Even today, my kids tell me that the music and movies of this decade were the absolute best. Long live the 80's!
@@marcellamontes6210 YES! They love the 80's. It may have something to do with the fact that I played it constantly as they grew up. True story, one of my kids was asked in the second grade who his favourite band was and he answered 'Pet Shop Boys' which got all his friends confused, lol
I am from the Breakfast Club generation. I think the 1980's were the best time to be in high school. Just enough technology to make things interesting but not so much that our lives revolved around it. Great theme song, great music in general. Teens today should be required to watch this movie to see what we did for fun back then. Btw I love the role Ally Sheedy played.
This song takes me back: I was kinda nerdy in 8th grade, and was in love with the bad ass boy.. Everytime I heard this song throughout the years, I'd wonder about him. Here we are now... 25+ yrs later.. And he and I are now together - F'n crazy! Great tune. Our tune.
I'm 47 back in the 80s I was a teenager in New York. When I hear songs like this I used to listen to I get teleported back to my youth and even feel young again! 🙏
Like a lot of people on this thread, I grew up in the 80s. Coming back to youtube and getting the brat pack movies and stuff makes me remember those days and think how lucky we were to grow up in the 1980s. I wouldn't trade it for any other time.
Somebody in the comment section here made a statement that I wish to highlight, for it is so profound and simple, as only truth can be. "Unless you lived in the 80s, you can't really know what it was like. It was like nothing we will ever experience again. Wish I could go back and stay there forever!" If you lived in the 80s - you know this to be the truth.
That was me class of "85" polo & Halston Z-14 Cologne Double breasted suits, Malls, Break dancing, MTV I could go on forever...most magical time period!!!!
Hello, I myself am almost 36, and while I don't have too many good memories of school, I do find myself pondering the future very frequently. To go from somebody unaware of the inevitable future, to one who thinks 'they' will have cured death in time for me aging, to one almost feeling guilt regarding having children and what they will have to experience in the future is a difficult experience. I find myself looking back on those memories that are so deeply embedded in my brain from my youth with a feeling of despair, not because I don't want to think about them but because they remind me of the passage of time, and the fundamental realisation that there will come a day when Senarphis isn't around to watch the news any more, and learn about the latest technological invention or world tragedy taking place. Sorry... that just popped out
Tony Hodgin, I remember being in 6th grade watching this, and the detention teacher asked us questions about this because she saw the same faces in Saturday detention! Wow now I'm in university studying to be a heart surgeon. I saw this on my recommendation list and clicked it.
@PersonalityDeficit87 That line highlights Linklaters view of adolescence and adulthood as painful outcomes of ditching the magic and mystery of childhood. That's why Linklater took ten years to make his overtly nostalgic magnum opus "Boyhood." He was a tool in high school and can't relate to the ivy league educated, country club mentality of John Hughes. I disagree with Linklater's assessment of adolescents. I think he's still a tool and his view emotionally immature, but his vision is unique and he does complete a task, I give him that.
This is the movie I showed my own kids when I wanted them to get a complete and distilled snapshot of what high school was like in the eighties. Funny enough, they found it completely relatable thirty plus years later. Timeless masterpieces.
This song is so absolutely amazing, and always ruined when someone tries to redo it. I also loved this movie so much, and I know if they remade it today, it would be terrible! because all they'd focus on of course in the era of stupidity that is today, is race, gender, and sexuality.. I'm black, and didn't need to see a black person to relate to any of the characters (which was the nerd for me, but I was also super artsy, and painfully shy.).. It was the so-called cliques they were into, which made me relate. It's all about character, which people seem to not get today. This movie was one of the things, that made me open myself up a bit more, and in high school, I made friends with other kids I normally would not have hung out with.
COOL! I'm glad it had some impact on you! I was also the shy nerd. This movie does make you think about things in a more all-around way. Outside-Of-The-Box is a nice way to be. :)
Being white I appreciate your perspective and comment. Movies are great based on their own merits and the beholder. All hidden messages aside, timing is everything. This movie was perfect timing, kind of like Rocky and a bunch of others. Representation of race, gender, and sexuality is completely subject to relevance and timing - for instance I loved "Lean on Me" because Morgan Freeman was great and it was primarily a black cast. I hated "Traffic" because I am predisposed against drug movies, when the problem politically is prohibition never works and primarily discriminates against minorities (people of color) based on convictions, incarceration rates and length of sentencing.
The 80's were, bar none, the best modern decade. The music. The movies. Everything came together. Songs like this from the huge hit, The Breakfast Club, were off the charts sensational. Today, it is largely boring. I cannot see young people looking back on the 2000's and saying, gee that was an awesome decade. They wouldn't know the difference. Music groups in the 80's, like Duran Duran were light years ahead of the crap I see today. Just look at the recent MTV awards show. It wasn't about the music. Oh there some okay music out there alright, but along side the 80's.......forget it. Today, it is all about vulgarity and promiscuity. No art. No feel. Just pure unadulterated bs. 🗼
+Erika Krausmann Today is the 2010s, not the 2000s. Every generation says the same thing, Erika. I was born in 1995 and I know I was born in the wrong time:( But, I look at the late 90s/early 2000s as the main era of my childhood. Besides 9/11 and all that political stuff happening, the kids shows back then were pretty amazing. The early-mid 2000s (up until 04/05) had the 90s feel still, culturally. Every one I know in my generation grew up with 90s movies and remember VHS. I do agree with you though about today's music/music videos. I can't stand it. Who thinks it's a good idea to be that sexual/vulgar for the kids to see? I don't get it.
+Jordan Girard I agree....I graduated high school in '87 and it was awesome and a joke at the same time. The cool decade was the 60's (+ rap which was new). Regardless, the good stuff or the so-bad-it's-good stuff rises to the top. It's all awesome!
+Erika Krausmann Sure....nothing like those sountracks to Help and A Hard Days Night. They will, and should. Every generation has great music, you just have to know how and where to find it. We thought this shit sucked,,,as well as the 80s. I am just now coming around to accepting the 80s....as if it ever occurred at all. The 80s totally blew by,,,,,so did the 70s,,,,60s were a bit rememberible.....now, I have difficulties recalling 2 or 3 days ago.
+Jordan Girard No they don't, lol. Everything went downhill (mainstream pop culture) during the very early 2000s, onward. Born in 1981 and I loved the 80's/90s era.
+William Webber But she's talking about the mainstream scene...Mainstream today is utter crap, though there is still good music, it's just underground and on indie labels. But the mainstream scene of any generation helps define the general feeling of that generation....which doesn't really say much about the late 90s/ early 00s.
The 80's were the best In High School from 1982-86, best time ever, no cell phones, no computers, just plain fun after school going to the mall , working on my 1968 Camaro, playing basketball and taking my girl to the drive in!!!!
i was just an elementary school kid looking forward to having just as much fun as you big kids were... unfortunately hair-bands and hip hop took over so, most of my generation turned into GRUNGE. at least we managed to keep some good music around, even if we dressed like shit. lol . the knack, anyone?
Don't You (Forget About Me) Simple Minds Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh woh Won't you come see about me?

Call my name or walk on by Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling Down, down, down, down Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh woh Don't you try and pretend It's my feeling we'll win in the end I won't harm you or touch your defenses Vanity and security Don't you forget about me I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby Going to take you apart I'll put us back together at heart, baby Don't you, forget about me Don't, don't, don't, don't Don't you, forget about me As you walk on by Will you call my name?

Being a gen xer ...listening to mom's motown sound, then Our own Duran Duran and micheal jackson, then the beginnings of hip hop, all while playing outside and scraping our knees and respecting our elders .....GEN X STAND UP
It was a much simpler time,that we all cherish an wish we could go back to. We all want to relive the good times we had. If only for moment we could go back in time....I miss these times so much,things is alot more different today.
You are not the only one that wishes we could for ever be w our best friends sharing the best times forever. Sadly my friends changed.i want to reconnect but they won't . They just walk away
Loved 80's. I was a teenager & the music was awesome. I still listen to alot of it. Also love Duran Duran, Information Society, Depech Mose. I could keep going. And I have alot of 80's metal, Skid Row & more. I'm an 80's junkie
We're the only Generation that witnessed arriving of Compact Disc, Cellphones, internet, modems, faxes, computer color screens, powerful 386, 486 computers, MTV, Rock America, VH1, Concerts without using smartphones, etc etc.
I was a teenager in the early eighties music was great. The economy was not so great. I graduated in 83 the movie breakfast club. High school at that time was great. Didn't have to worry about any thing not shootings like kids today do Classmates dressed without worrying what people thought. Miss those days and m t v.
I was in High School from 1986-1990 and this is exactly how high school was. Another good comparison for 1980's high school life movie wise would be Fast times at Ridgemont high. I definitely fell into the "Jock" category, but we all got along….for most part. High school days were in Broward County, Fl.
Lol. Broward County? Ha. I went to Taravella High school from '94-'98 in Coral Springs ... Great times back,especially at the Pompano Beach pier on Atlantic Blvd and A1A. Lol.
The 80's were an awesome time to grow up in. We had the best music and movies. I still listen to mostly 80"s music and The Breakfast Club is still my favorite movie.
"Dear Mr. Vernon: We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... ...and an athlete... ...and a basket case... ...a princess... ...and a criminal. Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.
Brill!! the 80's were somehow a different person from each social group/clique could be left to cause havoc and get stoned in the largest school library in Chicago !! Sincerely yours yet another member of the breakfast club!!
Barbara Lainhart It's not over yet. We're only just beginning to get into positions we can actually influence things. And no matter what we do, someone will curse us for it. Let's hope we can learn from the mistakes of the past and turn the ship around.
Jay Mays you couldn't have said it no better, those years was the greatest. You can't live like that no more and now it's twisted, 80's rules the world. Keep it 80%
The music...the movies...and two of the greatest comic strips in the history of newsprint (The Far Side ; Calvin and Hobbes) made the Eighties unlike any decade in modern history. Not better not worse just simply exquisite. What a ride !
It's 2020 and I truly miss the 80s. Being a teen in the 80s was an amazing time to be alive! There has never been another decade like it. If i knew then what I know now......
This is utterly amazing. I've got tears streaming from my face. Those in UK may have noticed this track is being used in Christmas radio adverts for argos. One amazing film. One amazing band. One amazing tune. Thanks for posting. UTTER BRILLIANCE.
I love you people!! All of you share my sentiments about the greatest decade of all time! I wish we could back and hang out at the mall and smell those smells while wearing parachute pants, skinny ties and checking out the latest releases of Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls, and The Cars on vinyl at one of the various record stores! The mall was an all day experience, we would shop for clothes, go to the record stores, hang out at Taco Grande, go the arcade and play battle zone and tempest, go see a film like Fast Times at Ridgemont high, and E.T., go shop some more and go home broke and do it again next payday!
I grew up at the crossroads of the 80's and 90's as I was born in 1980. Remember all the great 80s music and slowness of life. Many things are better today but many things are worse. When people think back to those old days it is often their childhood and the simplicity of being a child. It was however great growing up without a fucking cellphone in your pocket. Life was slower. It is that which people miss.
The 80s was greatest generation I was part of it. The music and the movies. I was in high school when this movie came out. Things were simple. I want to go back
I watch my kids now and feel bad for them!! No imagination, no originality… Everything is now now now!!! In 10 years you will literally be able to stay in your house 24/7 if you choose. And I miss my damn phone hanging from the wall!!!!!!
I got an old rotary wall phone and put it on the wall in my game room. Nice to hear the real mechanical bell ring. Funny to watch younger people try and use it. Amazed a rotary pulse phone is still compatable on the tone system.
***** Yeah, weren't the Marvel comics an TV shows all about heroics and patriotism, saving the world, saving others, standing up for something bigger than yourself, life lessons? I was born in the 90's but my parents, who were married and very young when they had me, raised me with a lot of 70's and 80's stuff that they grew up with, and I was pretty secluded from the mainstream "counterculture" until 2008-ish. Everything now in the media and TV is about apocalypse and an "I wanted it all, I have it all, now what" disappointed, chasing-highs attitude. Back in my day, you could preach religion, wisdom, morals, parenting, and how to act right, but now... you'll get labeled a fanatic, bigot, outdated, show off, oppressive freak. Ugh. I'm going to raise my kids so they can spread some of that old energy and potential lacking today.
It was not the same then as today. I know that for a fact because I lived through all of it! Yes, the adults said what you did, but that doesn't take away from the very different attitudes, behaviors, and hopes and dreams. Now if you said that the 70s were like today then I can grudgingly agree with you because I lived through most of them too. The 80s, however, was awesome! The early to mid 90s were ok, but something happened along the way that killed the fun and color that existed for the decade and a half.
Man, I was born in '78, so I wasn't old enough to experience the 80's, but I find that at 42, I am always coming back to the music from this time period...really wish I could've been born earlier...it just seemed like a really fun era. The clubs, the music, everything.
The 80s will never die....I was born in 1970... so 4 me ...every yr from 1980..I was 10.. I grew up and was cultivated by everything that came out..but music is what shaped me ..and I learned who I identified with... music was our social media.. and its so awesome how singers born in the 80s ...have brought their version of our music 2 present day...this song will b played at my funeral when that day comes... I will "record" myself singing it now ..at 50🤣😂💕I was exactly 15 when this movie came out. I am part Princess and Rebel🤣💕
Back in the 80s we all wondered what the future would look like. Now in 2020 we all want to go back to the 80s.
i hear you
Doamino41 nope! I like having the option of marrying my girlfriend without persecution or death. You have no clue what you’d give up in life if you went to the 80’s. Sincerely, the daughter of an 80’s teen who told it real.
@@seasonsstarsstudios
I can understand that you can't really relate to the 80's because you are the "daughter of an 80s teen". You are from a different generation.You didn't grow up in that era and lesbianism wasn't accepted much back then.
But movies were better, TV was better,music was better and America was better. If I had a chance to go back to the 80s I would see my family again. Now they are all gone.
For most of us the 80s were a very special time.
80’s were the best
Speak for yourself... ;-) I grew up in the 80s having the most horrible time of my life. So much things are so much better now. Believe me.. Love the music but want to stay in 2020!
growing up as a kid in the 70's and being a teen in the 80's....priceless
the 80's was the best..period.
Can i have a show of hands if you're still listening to this in 2019
the 80's was the best..period.
I was a teenager in the greatest decade ever !!!!
@honkster 7 born 1970 fuck the 21 st century,
F no I'm all listening to all that is 3rd wave aka, this is slo n boring
@honkster 7 I think what I'm saying is that , like the clothes from the 70's & 80's , we were just learning how to make good music. I started out, growing up with this, but evolved as I aged
80s in NYC was epic...the memories..
You are the luckiest person in the world. :)
We are truly blessed to be apart of a generation of music that is still loved today.
Walter W Shan Jr hey I’m a die hard Mets fan I’m from Long Island now in Los Angeles this is the song that describes me in the 80s
AMEN to that!!
Couldn’t have said it better myself boss
🤩
😘😘😘😘😘You are CORRECT!!!!
When I went to school, there were no computers, no internet, no cell phones and no cable tv. Life was so much better back then. Also, if you wanted a job, you went to the company and asked to see the hiring manager. Half the time, you got the job and you started working within the same week. Makes you think, just for a brief moment at least, that we arent as advanced as we claim to be in the year 2020.
ya amazing what rose tinted glasses can do for you isn't it mate. i was a kid in the late 60s 70s and a young man in the 80s. it was sh^t compared with the worst of today. anyone that thinks back then was better needs a good hard slap in the face.
@@tommyfred6180 The 1980s was a better time than today. With the exception that housing was more expesnive back then.
I wish getting a job was that easy lol. Most of my job applications are basically just screaming into the void.
And it was easy to get a good job, benefits, health and life insurance, retirement accounts, even good dental.......................my parents could afford on two jobs to own a large home in a big city and land and a small house in a nearby state to use for holidays and eventually to retire to...........each had a new car every three to five years............not just push credit but actually buy a car trading in their old one and then making payments for 12 months or less and it was paid off...............i started working an official job just as the unions were being broken up and reagen became president..............i have worked either full time plus at one job or two to three jobs.................i rent, i owned a home but a shit partner and a costly divorce took that.....i have been in debt and all it took was two family members decades apart having cancer and all that entails.............broke.............as in i get the 'sign up with us for your new credit card" and when i call they look at the medical bills left to me(yeah, like a horrible inheritance...no i was not married to either....and yet they hunted me down for decades.........vultures)...........they of course had no insurance and the bills were astronomical............think $5000 per bag of whatever they got three times a week, and oncology doctor charges $3000 plus per visit...........and even though i worked two jobs while caring for the first one i still went in debt up to my eyeballs paying just the minimum thousands and thousands of dollars a month. The last patients bills were over $1.7 million dollars and they still died............horribly..............yep they will charge you that much to poison you or a loved one and still let them die...............when the crap insurance i had decided they wouldn't pay anymore the docs pretty much told us to take cancer patient home and wait for them to die........................that is todays america
I hear ya, my brother, I hear ya. I am 64 years old now, and many of my best years were during the 80s!
growing up as a kid in the 70's and being a teen in the 80's....priceless
Stush Lee same here, only thing I don't miss: the threat of nuclear war.
So much everyday Adventure! Everyday might be your last day!!!
Stush Lee .....me!!!
Great Words my Friend
Here Here! I second that! Born in 70...Experienced 80's music first hand and loved every minute of it!!!
God, I wish I was 19 in the 80s. Things seemed so much simpler. No cell phones, easier to find a job, if you liked a girl, you called her, simple as that. None of this texting bullshit. And the music. My god, the music.
+liam kirk funny. I was 19 in 89 and I wished I was 19 in the 60's.
+Flyingsod I think everyone feels that way, wanting to be 19 in a different time.
+Sam Kim When I was 19.......geez, how I just yearned to be 18.
+liam kirk And scared of AIDS, scared of a nuclear holocaust, and trapped in a decade obsessed about money, power and success at any cost. And when boys prefered girls who looked like that 05:05
Way to put a negative spin on it. Jeez.
Unless you lived the 80s, you can't really know what it was like. It was like nothing we will ever experience again. Wish I could go back and stay there forever!
4 - Real!
Me to!!! If you figure out a way TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!
Thats so true.
True. I was 20 in 1980. Got my first full time job and my own place in 81. Watched the early days of MTV. Being a teenager in the 70's was awesome too. Dazed and Confused!
Craig Doriety 70's & 80's were the very best. 👍
I'm 57 now but many of the people of the 80's are still with me, if only in my memories. I love and miss you guys but we'll never pass that way again.
Am 62 and feel the same way. Great era, especially the music. And memories of friends and times long ago.
I’m 55 and miss the 80’s so much some days it hurts lol. A simpler time that I loved.
54 here. I agree bro.
I’m 56, and I’m with y’all 💯%. God, I miss the’80s!!
I am 57 and don't want to go back even If You Give Me a Million.. sorry!
These movies, Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, are all iconic and helped mold me into who I am today! I was born in the 80's and didnt realize just how amazing of a decade it really was to be alive in. Not until now, in 2020, when we have no freedoms and high schools are ghost towns around here, there will never be a saturday detention handed out again. No more running through the halls to escape being caught while skipping class. Kind of heartbreaking and this song is a bittersweet reminder for us all to never forget who we truly are and where we started. 2019 wasnt all that bad after all eh?
You are right. Detention may be a thing of the past now. Even as early as 2001 I taught at a high school in SE Houston, and we had no Detention, although I think we could have used it. Kids were getting away with almost anything.
Some Kind of Wonderful
The best movies were in the 80's! If it wasn't for these movies I dont know where I'd be today! Time goes by so so fast, one minute you are a kid in the 80's and the next, you blink and you are 48 year old single mum.
Graduated from high school in 1985. This was *THE* song and movie from that spring. Who else remembers the Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 and spending afternoons at the arcade feeding quarters into games like Defender, Paperboy, Qix, Tempest, Berzerk, Frogger, and Missile Command?
berserk was totally cool
...Apple IIe....
I graduated in 1980, then it was Pac-Man and Centipede. Lol
I do I do, I graduated in 87. Best times
@@TheWeav22 centipede my favorite
Thank God I lived the 80s! Best decade of my life!
Amen sister it wuz
Am i one of the luckiest man that lived throughout the best decade in the best music history era.. 80's
fleiva30 So many great songs, and the videos did so much to amplify the message of those songs. Especially true with the videos from movie soundtracks.
fleiva30 Lucky
fleiva30 not just music that was the best but everything about that decade was awesome
Robert Minas Except AIDS...
Marcos Costa and crack cocaine!
I graduated high school in 1984 and still remember this like yesterday.
Arguably, the signature song of the the '80's. What a decade! People take themselves so seriously now. The fun is sadly gone.
I graduated high school in 1983. Got my first full time job in 1985. What a time to be alive. Cable TV had all those channels....most worth watching. Radio wasn't filled with the same group of songs played, every day. People didn't have their faces stuck to small devices. Well, some had huge devices stuck to the side of their heads, LOL. It was a better time to be alive.
Oh to find a flux capacitor and some plutonium.
I've got a DeLorean and a flux capacitor! But man, plutonium is hard to come by! I can't even get any from the Libyans!
I desperately miss the 80s. I'd give up my cellphone and online videogames, social media and online shopping just to be back in that time, when possibilities seemed endless and I was a young adult.
Me to
You ain't kidding, I miss it too;)
Kimberly M me too! Id go back in a swcond if i could.
yes I would do the same..
Kimberly M yes me too out generation was the best
I dont care what anyone says, this has to be the best movi ever made.......the only one that reveals every teen has their own problems whether rich, smart, strange, poor or academic. This movie is a staple in time, long live my 80's, those who didnt live it, will never truly understand all the great orchestral music we had. OMD, Simple Minds, Thompson Twins, Flock of seagulls, why the heck did it all end?
Drew Grow
I wouldn't say evolved, per se, but changed. It's all a question of what you are trying to accomplish, what your aim is. Music reflects the people, the general attitude and level of understanding, in many different ways.
Max Wheeler I agree!!!!!! GREAT music......I was born in the late 70s but totally LOOOOOOOVED watching MTV (remember when it started) I have 3 older siblings......this movie is still so good (watched it with my 14 yo son and he thought it was great)..... still true to this day .... I loved it all. I think it ended b/c everyone stopped doing blow???? idk?????
Roar Blast So that's the reason why there are so little people who understand things
Time passed, and all Good Things Must Come To An End. Even classic music and movies like The Breakfast Club most move on too, sadly. Is ok, when todays young generation moves on past the current crap they will rediscover the glory they never had the chance to enjoy of the past in popular culture.
Jeannie McCarthy
Thank you for the reply Jeannie, it was such a priveledge to listen to live 105 SF radio station and hear Blancmange, tears for fears, naked eyes, duran, depeche, steven tin tin duffy, anything on Sire records and im so glad you watched the B club movie with your son as its coined the movie all teens should watch". I should float a CD to you of mp3's I have the BEST of 80's collection from dark wave, ska, new wave, synth pop as I was a dj during this time. I have a video I posted in 89 when I was 19, my first gig, check it out "My first dj gig at 20 in 1989 (Roller Rink and old hip hop)" is the title. But you would love the collection I can share to you and your siblings all on 1 disc, I do this alot for friends.
Oh pleeaassee listen to New Order-Your silent face, my goodness its a beautiful tune of electronic orchestras and drums and bouncy synths, youll see if you hear it.
Ah, the 80's...The music, the movies; no one's ever really been able to put their finger on it, but that decade had something that no other has been able to capture, or ever will. Yeah, kids laugh at us who grew up back then( maybe that time wasn't "dope" or "sick" enough for them), but for us children of the 80's, it represents a period when everything just meshed together perfectly, a time that had never existed before and sadly, may never exist again, but as long as that decade is remembered and we play the music and screen the movies for our kids, grandkids, etc., it will never die!!
ain't that the damn truth. I agree with you 100 percent
we were on the brink of total annihalation....but we had ReAGAN.....so we had fun!!
DEFIANTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!
you hust described how every generation feels about their childhood. replace the 80's in your tekst by 90's or 70's and it still is the same. every generation thinks so about themselves
That is very true...I may not be from around that time but, just looking back at all of the music, movies, clothes, gangs ect. Is very empowering that there was once a mind set that made you go to another world. I love the 80's vibes I will always love them.
Nothing says 80’s like the Breakfast Club and this song!
Exactly
DEFINITELY AGREE WITH THAT! ... Comes right back to me as soon as I hear the intro to this song.
The fucken best!!!!!

"The Breakfast Club" is timeless because it captures so well the pain and angst and uncertainty and struggles of this period of life-and especially how hard it is to deal with the damage and trauma lousy parents create in young minds and hearts. The young actors are perfect and hit it out of the park-and the writing and directing by John Hughes are fantastic. Oh, and the song perfectly catches the soul of the movie and the times.
I can agree with the lousy parenting I was kicked out of the house on my birthday when I was 15! I grew up in the 80'S when music, movies and Friends were all I ever had and all that was important to me. Can I go back to the 80'S?
Any movie with Molly is good
The themes of teenage life in the 80s are the same as they are today. The world has changed. Technology has changed how kids see the world, but the world still sees kids the same way as it did 30 years ago. That's why this film will always been relevant and timeless. It captures teenage life better than any film before and since.
Life before safe spaces!! We dealt in reality and it was hard but stand and handle your business! Millennials are trash!!once you endure shit you realize you can handle it!
Entropy Regen Speaking if seeing kids the same way as 30 years ago...I suggest rereading the quote by Mr. Bowie that opens this movie and the comment above.
I'm 57, was born in 1962, and can tell you that while the 70s were fun in its own way, the 80s were absolutely incredible, especially with so many genres of music and the advent of the music video. IT WAS THE BEST DECADE OF MY ENTIRE LIFE! ❤️
It was fun... :)
Spot on..👍❤
I'm also 57, born in 1962 and agree with you 100%. We will always have the memories.
San Diego 👎🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I am 59 and was a teenager during the 70's. Music and culture was better than the 80's.
The 80's ........ Only special people have experienced this great decade!!!
It was the best decade by FAR!!!
guess I must be special
Born in 1981. Not a day goes by when I don't put on 80's music. The other day, went to a pub and they played an 80's song and even the younger generation went crazy. We were really lucky to be kids in that decade.
Ozzie Welte We we’re lucky. I turned 13 in 1980! Right place, right time. It wasn’t all Roses, but it beat the hell out of today. We knew how to live and weren’t told what to say and think. I feel sorry for today’s generation, they can’t see how skewed life has become..they gotta live in the real world, not a virtual one. Remember talking to people face to face? Ah well, maybe it’s gonna be our job to teach them some good old fashioned life skills. We’re selling them short if we don’t.
OMG!!! YES>>>The 80's DAMMIT!!
"The Breakfast Club" helped give hope to an entire generation
Dang right sir! Always!!
Yes it did
Simple minds are fabulous ! Jim kerrs voice is outstanding .
I agree
Going back to the good old times of the 80's who wants a ride?
ME!
Im ready to go
Easy said than done
Me totally !
Me!
As a person that experienced the 80's in my teenage years, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it was an incredible decade. Even today, my kids tell me that the music and movies of this decade were the absolute best. Long live the 80's!
Do they really...because my kids could care less
It was the best
One tepublic
Chris Hsu same here, I’m a teen and I love 80s music. You have no idea how much I’d rather not live in this time period
@@marcellamontes6210 YES! They love the 80's. It may have something to do with the fact that I played it constantly as they grew up. True story, one of my kids was asked in the second grade who his favourite band was and he answered 'Pet Shop Boys' which got all his friends confused, lol
I am from the Breakfast Club generation. I think the 1980's were the best time to be in high school. Just enough technology to make things interesting but not so much that our lives revolved around it. Great theme song, great music in general.
Teens today should be required to watch this movie to see what we did for fun back then. Btw I love the role Ally Sheedy played.
Give me a Delorean fitted with a flux capacitor and I'm going back to the 80's and living the rest of my days there.

missed but never forgotten

Missed so bad
the 80s were an awesome time for music
there's an understatement it was BRILL !!! of course that means i do agree with you !!

Any time an 80s song comes on a movie or TV show, it LIGHTS it up!
This was definitely the best decade to grow up in, take me back there when life just seemed so much easier
Easy said than done
You kids only see the best and ignore the worst lol.
You kids wouldnt survive the 80s lol
show
Yup
This song takes me back: I was kinda nerdy in 8th grade, and was in love with the bad ass boy.. Everytime I heard this song throughout the years, I'd wonder about him. Here we are now... 25+ yrs later.. And he and I are now together - F'n crazy! Great tune. Our tune.
Good for you.
Its kinda cheesy - but I'm lucky there was a happy ending :) and TY!
Rian Haryu Lucky. Wish my efforts had warranted such reward.
Ghostface - no. It's Ryan (I know, that makes this post even cheesier, since my name is Rian, too lol)
Rian Haryu cheers!!
I'm 47 back in the 80s I was a teenager in New York. When I hear songs like this I used to listen to I get teleported back to my youth and even feel young again! 🙏
I miss this music n the times. I'm 46
Same im 43 still living in NY
I am 17 :(
Same as pal 👍
46 , miss it much too ..
This song gave me goose-bumps in the 80's.... Still does in 2020. Time of my life!
Like a lot of people on this thread, I grew up in the 80s. Coming back to youtube and getting the brat pack movies and stuff makes me remember those days and think how lucky we were to grow up in the 1980s. I wouldn't trade it for any other time.
We were extremely fortunate. We remember the world before the digital age, we have a perspective many will never have again.
totally agree with you it was a great era
Somebody in the comment section here made a statement that I wish to highlight, for it is so profound and simple, as only truth can be.
"Unless you lived in the 80s, you can't really know what it was like. It was like nothing we will ever experience again. Wish I could go back and stay there forever!"
If you lived in the 80s - you know this to be the truth.
It wasn't perfect --but it was perfect for US!
I was a kid in the ‘80s, and it was magical. Saturday morning cartoons, the toys...
It really was a great time
amen Danielle, make 2020 like 1980 in your house, live a happy life !!!
That was me class of "85" polo & Halston Z-14 Cologne Double breasted suits, Malls, Break dancing, MTV I could go on forever...most magical time period!!!!
Nothing like 80's 👍
It was the best decade of the 20th Century! I have more that would agree with me than not.
@@QuantumEffectResidue easy said than done
You kids are so ungrateful lol
👍
Exactamente, no puede estar mejor expresado.
Except the 70's, which is when I grew up 😉😊
The 80s when life was just so much more fun & Relaxing than it is today
I graduated from, high school in 1992. every now and then, memories come flooding back. High school was, one of the best times. I had in my life
Hello, I myself am almost 36, and while I don't have too many good memories of school, I do find myself pondering the future very frequently. To go from somebody unaware of the inevitable future, to one who thinks 'they' will have cured death in time for me aging, to one almost feeling guilt regarding having children and what they will have to experience in the future is a difficult experience. I find myself looking back on those memories that are so deeply embedded in my brain from my youth with a feeling of despair, not because I don't want to think about them but because they remind me of the passage of time, and the fundamental realisation that there will come a day when Senarphis isn't around to watch the news any more, and learn about the latest technological invention or world tragedy taking place. Sorry... that just popped out
1974. year for rebels to be born ;)
+BrekanArts YES!!!!! 💪
Tony Hodgin, I remember being in 6th grade watching this, and the detention teacher asked us questions about this because she saw the same faces in Saturday detention! Wow now I'm in university studying to be a heart surgeon. I saw this on my recommendation list and clicked it.
@PersonalityDeficit87 That line highlights Linklaters view of adolescence and adulthood as painful outcomes of ditching the magic and mystery of childhood. That's why Linklater took ten years to make his overtly nostalgic magnum opus "Boyhood." He was a tool in high school and can't relate to the ivy league educated, country club mentality of John Hughes.
I disagree with Linklater's assessment of adolescents. I think he's still a tool and his view emotionally immature, but his vision is unique and he does complete a task, I give him that.
All it took was one song and one movie to define our generation.
We Gen Xers are the best.
God love ya Denise, that was so incredibly well put! And so true!
miss the 80's but have enjoyed everyday since. Just feel bad for the folks that missed the freedom from social media. TRUE FREEDOM
This is the movie I showed my own kids when I wanted them to get a complete and distilled snapshot of what high school was like in the eighties. Funny enough, they found it completely relatable thirty plus years later. Timeless masterpieces.

This song is so absolutely amazing, and always ruined when someone tries to redo it. I also loved this movie so much, and I know if they remade it today, it would be terrible! because all they'd focus on of course in the era of stupidity that is today, is race, gender, and sexuality.. I'm black, and didn't need to see a black person to relate to any of the characters (which was the nerd for me, but I was also super artsy, and painfully shy.).. It was the so-called cliques they were into, which made me relate. It's all about character, which people seem to not get today.
This movie was one of the things, that made me open myself up a bit more, and in high school, I made friends with other kids I normally would not have hung out with.
COOL! I'm glad it had some impact on you! I was also the shy nerd. This movie does make you think about things in a more all-around way. Outside-Of-The-Box is a nice way to be. :)
Glad this movie helped You open up, and helped You. Great music and great movie
Being white I appreciate your perspective and comment. Movies are great based on their own merits and the beholder. All hidden messages aside, timing is everything. This movie was perfect timing, kind of like Rocky and a bunch of others. Representation of race, gender, and sexuality is completely subject to relevance and timing - for instance I loved "Lean on Me" because Morgan Freeman was great and it was primarily a black cast. I hated "Traffic" because I am predisposed against drug movies, when the problem politically is prohibition never works and primarily discriminates against minorities (people of color) based on convictions, incarceration rates and length of sentencing.
That's good to know Ink, I think the characters are relatable to everyone of that age
so which nerd?
Truly, one of the great anthems of the 80's.
Yeah
The 80's were, bar none, the best modern decade. The music. The movies. Everything came together. Songs like this from the huge hit, The Breakfast Club, were off the charts sensational. Today, it is largely boring. I cannot see young people looking back on the 2000's and saying, gee that was an awesome decade. They wouldn't know the difference. Music groups in the 80's, like Duran Duran were light years ahead of the crap I see today. Just look at the recent MTV awards show. It wasn't about the music. Oh there some okay music out there alright, but along side the 80's.......forget it. Today, it is all about vulgarity and promiscuity. No art. No feel. Just pure unadulterated bs. 🗼
+Erika Krausmann Today is the 2010s, not the 2000s. Every generation says the same thing, Erika. I was born in 1995 and I know I was born in the wrong time:( But, I look at the late 90s/early 2000s as the main era of my childhood. Besides 9/11 and all that political stuff happening, the kids shows back then were pretty amazing. The early-mid 2000s (up until 04/05) had the 90s feel still, culturally. Every one I know in my generation grew up with 90s movies and remember VHS. I do agree with you though about today's music/music videos. I can't stand it. Who thinks it's a good idea to be that sexual/vulgar for the kids to see? I don't get it.
+Jordan Girard I agree....I graduated high school in '87 and it was awesome and a joke at the same time. The cool decade was the 60's (+ rap which was new). Regardless, the good stuff or the so-bad-it's-good stuff rises to the top. It's all awesome!
+Erika Krausmann Sure....nothing like those sountracks to Help and A Hard Days Night. They will, and should. Every generation has great music, you just have to know how and where to find it. We thought this shit sucked,,,as well as the 80s. I am just now coming around to accepting the 80s....as if it ever occurred at all. The 80s totally blew by,,,,,so did the 70s,,,,60s were a bit rememberible.....now, I have difficulties recalling 2 or 3 days ago.
+Jordan Girard No they don't, lol. Everything went downhill (mainstream pop culture) during the very early 2000s, onward. Born in 1981 and I loved the 80's/90s era.
+William Webber But she's talking about the mainstream scene...Mainstream today is utter crap, though there is still good music, it's just underground and on indie labels. But the mainstream scene of any generation helps define the general feeling of that generation....which doesn't really say much about the late 90s/ early 00s.
Long live (THE BREAKFAST CLUB)
mess with the bull young man you get the horns!..!
Until the bull gets it's heart run through by the matado
probably my all time favorite movie
I am proud of the 80s and been proven that whenever I played this song.My son is listening to the 80s.Love it
Best music, best film, best time of my life. Long live the 80s
This movie and song defined a generation, I miss it
AMEN! You DAM RIGHT! High five to you!
I'm tearing up here. So nostalgic for me. RIP John Hughes.
Die 80er 💗💗beste Zeit für immer 👍👍🌹
The 80's were the best In High School from 1982-86, best time ever, no cell phones, no computers, just plain fun after school going to the mall , working on my 1968 Camaro, playing basketball and taking my girl to the drive in!!!!
i was just an elementary school kid looking forward to having just as much fun as you big kids were... unfortunately hair-bands and hip hop took over so, most of my generation turned into GRUNGE. at least we managed to keep some good music around, even if we dressed like shit. lol . the knack, anyone?
Ur right!

Greg Paden you got that right partner the 80's fun fun fun like you said 83-86 years good time's

As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?

Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Love You... 😍😍😍😍😍

Thankgas
Being a gen xer ...listening to mom's motown sound, then Our own Duran Duran and micheal jackson, then the beginnings of hip hop, all while playing outside and scraping our knees and respecting our elders .....GEN X STAND UP
Hell yeah man! I'd trade the whole internet for 3 channels on tv, a boombox and a pocket full of mixtapes
I'm 45 and remember this just like yesterday. 😎
Exactly
You know hip hop started in the 70s with DJ Kool Herc?
@@poppinmycollar423 I'm jealous. I'm 46 and my memory has gone to :P but I WISH I remembered things as well as you do... :)
Dam 80s i miss you
The movie and anthem to a Generation X childhood! I never forget about this song or the fun of being a kid in the 80s!
me too!! born in 1969...80s kid...90s party dude..generation X baby!!!
80 i dont Money now i have Money love 2014 and do than i want
The best movie ever made. No matter what year you went to High School, nothing has changed..
+moviefanaticfan69 They no longer talk. They have their cells.
man the 80s word's can't describe this wonderful decade. will love the 80s for ever thank you God for this experience.
It was a much simpler time,that we all cherish an wish we could go back to. We all want to relive the good times we had. If only for moment we could go back in time....I miss these times so much,things is alot more different today.
You are not the only one that wishes we could for ever be w our best friends sharing the best times forever. Sadly my friends changed.i want to reconnect but they won't . They just walk away
the 80's was the best..period.
yep thats why they keep remaking so many re makes of movies from then because they can't come up with anything new.
❤️
Yeeeeeeeeesssssssss
Loved 80's. I was a teenager & the music was awesome. I still listen to alot of it. Also love Duran Duran, Information Society, Depech Mose. I could keep going. And I have alot of 80's metal, Skid Row & more. I'm an 80's junkie
It's "Depeche Mode" lolz
IN 1985 I WAS 16 AND I STILL LOVE THIS TODAY IN 2018 DETROIT EASTSIDE.
I was not born and I can relate
👍Me 2.
I was 16 on October 5th. I can totally relate. The best of days. Grew up in S. California now in NE Texas. Great times they were.
Me too!
I was just born this year
Classic pure talent!!!! What a very different world we live in now!
This band hit the nail in the head folks. The perfect hit song that belongs in music History.
You said that perfectly
All English classes should have this movie for one of their essays. There's so much to talk about.
We actually watched it when I was in highschool.
I think people will start pointing out the lack of diversity.
We did it for english class, was a great class, it was so much like my high school except for no saturday detentions.
0Oo More like classism.
The 80s was a time in history that will never be forgotten.
We're the only Generation that witnessed arriving of Compact Disc, Cellphones, internet, modems, faxes, computer color screens, powerful 386, 486 computers, MTV, Rock America, VH1, Concerts without using smartphones, etc etc.
Indeed :) This brings me back!!!
We had real drugs too
Erm...I was born in '52 and I'm pretty darn sure I witnessed all those things.....unless it was the drugs......
And we are the ones who have seen the demise of most of those things listed.
Videogame Consoles: Don't forget about us
I was born in 1980 so yeah I know what you mean
I was a teenager in the early eighties music was great. The economy was not so great. I graduated in 83 the movie breakfast club. High school at that time was great. Didn't have to worry about any thing not shootings like kids today do Classmates dressed without worrying what people thought. Miss those days and m t v.
your so on point dan!!!
I lived the same. Thanks for the memories.
It's so sad to see what this society has become. Nothing but degenerates and evil everywhere; not to mention People today are like robots.
@@QuantumEffectResidue Project MKUltra is real.
Born in 63. Graduated HS in 81. Think I hit it just about right. What a time to be young.
I was in High School from 1986-1990 and this is exactly how high school was. Another good comparison for 1980's high school life movie wise would be Fast times at Ridgemont high.
I definitely fell into the "Jock" category, but we all got along….for most part. High school days were in Broward County, Fl.
God I miss that, I was also in them years, best years EVER
'81-'85 good times!!
So many good movies for teens came out of this era
Lol. Broward County? Ha. I went to Taravella High school from '94-'98 in Coral Springs ... Great times back,especially at the Pompano Beach pier on Atlantic Blvd and A1A. Lol.
+todd krager Agreed
It hurts when people you loved forget about you like you never existed. Thanks Melanie
Great tune, good drumming
+Terence Morgan Billy Cobham..one of the greats. I was a metal drummer in the 80's but I always secretly liked this song! LOL
+DB Rox A metal listener in the 80's (and now) that secretly loved this song :)
+Jenny Fardello Same here, mainly listen to metal from 80's and now. But there's something about some cheesy 80's songs that I always liked.
The 80's were an awesome time to grow up in. We had the best music and movies. I still listen to mostly 80"s music and The Breakfast Club is still my favorite movie.
"Dear Mr. Vernon:
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... ...and an athlete... ...and a basket case... ...a princess... ...and a criminal.
Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.
Exactly No one with any since would want to grow up in any other decade than the 80's
yup
No doubt. What an impact the movie and that closing essay had on us.
80's kids forever. Glad I was along for the ride.
Brill!! the 80's were somehow a different person from each social group/clique could be left to cause havoc and get stoned in the largest school library in Chicago !! Sincerely yours yet another member of the breakfast club!!
Aaaah Breakfast club...classic...original...awesome....exactly
Sweet memories from my life the Best generation músic for me the 80s thanks for share today in My 56 birthday
Gen X forever. We rocked it well. Stay cool my friends.
WT Hendrix not gen x the sandwich generation latchkey kids more self reliant
Bryan Adam
GREATEST GENERATION THAT WILL NOW AND FOREVER EXIST! 😎
Barbara Lainhart It's not over yet. We're only just beginning to get into positions we can actually influence things. And no matter what we do, someone will curse us for it. Let's hope we can learn from the mistakes of the past and turn the ship around.
I've always said I'd love to go back to the 80's just for the music and movies and the REAL MTV. Good times growing up....J
Jay Mays you couldn't have said it no better, those years was the greatest. You can't live like that no more and now it's twisted, 80's rules the world. Keep it 80%
Amen to that Brother!
The music...the movies...and two of the greatest comic strips in the history of newsprint (The Far Side ; Calvin and Hobbes) made the Eighties unlike any decade in modern history. Not better not worse just simply exquisite. What a ride !
+michaelanthony perez The first home movie that I watched, with my family, on VCR was Ferris Beuler's Day Off. And, this was soon after.
michaelanthony perez CALVIN AND HOBBS RULES!
I lived for Bloom County during the 80's. It ended in '89. It made me sad and marked the end of the 80's for me.
Alot Will Walk on By these Days, Just Sayin...
It's 2020 and I truly miss the 80s.
Being a teen in the 80s was an amazing time to be alive! There has never been another decade like it. If i knew then what I know now......
I loved the 80es BETTER times and people could sing then NOT like now. All mimed shite
@Carlos F.
Agree
I would not trade coming up during the 80's for all of the I pads in the world... magical time..
Gewglesux how did you NOT get an AMEN!!!! 2 yrs ago!! 😂😂😂 I caught the "late eighties" LMAOFF
very well said. Me either!
This is utterly amazing. I've got tears streaming from my face. Those in UK may have noticed this track is being used in Christmas radio adverts for argos. One amazing film. One amazing band. One amazing tune. Thanks for posting. UTTER BRILLIANCE.
80’s was the best. Greatest time of my life. 10 years old in 1980. Just perfect timing. All the movies use 80’s music.
I was 12 when the calendar turned 1980 but you’re spot on!
That's perfection! I wasn't a teenager until the late 90's, but being a teenager in the 80's would've been an absolute hoot!
The 80s were a special time. I miss then.
Ahhh...The 80's! My best teenage years cruising in my 77 black Corvette listening to the best music! 🎶🎶🎶🎶
1985. I am 15, my first smoke, my first kiss. This movie and Molly Ringwald. My world is perfect.
I was 12
Same
@@rainbowbutterflies , me too. Remember when this movie came out like it was yesterday
I love you people!! All of you share my sentiments about the greatest decade of all time! I wish we could back and hang out at the mall and smell those smells while wearing parachute pants, skinny ties and checking out the latest releases of Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls, and The Cars on vinyl at one of the various record stores! The mall was an all day experience, we would shop for clothes, go to the record stores, hang out at Taco Grande, go the arcade and play battle zone and tempest, go see a film like Fast Times at Ridgemont high, and E.T., go shop some more and go home broke and do it again next payday!
I grew up at the crossroads of the 80's and 90's as I was born in 1980. Remember all the great 80s music and slowness of life. Many things are better today but many things are worse. When people think back to those old days it is often their childhood and the simplicity of being a child. It was however great growing up without a fucking cellphone in your pocket. Life was slower. It is that which people miss.
Love this 80's song. That's when my whole life changed for the better. That's how I remember the 80's songs.
There will never be another movie like this, which is incredibly sad. :(
too much me to movement.
They will remake it
@@BedwetterCDN If they did they will ruined it.
I hope you are feeling better now than you were when you shared this cognition.......look up....
The 80s was greatest generation I was part of it. The music and the movies. I was in high school when this movie came out. Things were simple. I want to go back
Class of '85. So many memories!
god, I Miss this time...Never thought I'd make it this far into my future, lol.
shane dement me either
I watch my kids now and feel bad for them!! No imagination, no originality… Everything is now now now!!! In 10 years you will literally be able to stay in your house 24/7 if you choose. And I miss my damn phone hanging from the wall!!!!!!
Get yourself a landline haha!!
shane dement you not along on this one my brother I'm with you long live the 80s mother fuckers
I got an old rotary wall phone and put it on the wall in my game room. Nice to hear the real mechanical bell ring. Funny to watch younger people try and use it. Amazed a rotary pulse phone is still compatable on the tone system.
I wish I was born in the 70's. It'd be cool to be a teen in the 80's.
I was and it was, even though I hated school. The decade, however, was full of energy and potential that is missing these days.
***** Yeah, weren't the Marvel comics an TV shows all about heroics and patriotism, saving the world, saving others, standing up for something bigger than yourself, life lessons? I was born in the 90's but my parents, who were married and very young when they had me, raised me with a lot of 70's and 80's stuff that they grew up with, and I was pretty secluded from the mainstream "counterculture" until 2008-ish. Everything now in the media and TV is about apocalypse and an "I wanted it all, I have it all, now what" disappointed, chasing-highs attitude. Back in my day, you could preach religion, wisdom, morals, parenting, and how to act right, but now... you'll get labeled a fanatic, bigot, outdated, show off, oppressive freak. Ugh. I'm going to raise my kids so they can spread some of that old energy and potential lacking today.
*****
it's true, but these days has its own upside. Nothing regarding popular culture though. blehk.
It was not the same then as today. I know that for a fact because I lived through all of it! Yes, the adults said what you did, but that doesn't take away from the very different attitudes, behaviors, and hopes and dreams. Now if you said that the 70s were like today then I can grudgingly agree with you because I lived through most of them too. The 80s, however, was awesome! The early to mid 90s were ok, but something happened along the way that killed the fun and color that existed for the decade and a half.
A C being a teen in the 80s was so fun!!!
Cannot get enough of this song.
Man, I was born in '78, so I wasn't old enough to experience the 80's, but I find that at 42, I am always coming back to the music from this time period...really wish I could've been born earlier...it just seemed like a really fun era. The clubs, the music, everything.
Born in 79.... and i feel you exactly
Born in 79
Know exactly what you mean
Simple Minds and INXS are my favorite bands...

I've got too many couldn't fit all on list listen to variety
Iconic 80's British song ... It doesn't get any better than this , It's the pinnacle ! .... Married to an awesome film .... 😀
MrMadjones Scottish.
Tony Orsini isn’t that British?
@@mattyharding7937 Technically yes, but when your a Scot, your Scottish not British.........Patriotism.
God Bless the 80's.
He did 😎
The 80s will never die....I was born in 1970... so 4 me ...every yr from 1980..I was 10.. I grew up and was cultivated by everything that came out..but music is what shaped me ..and I learned who I identified with... music was our social media.. and its so awesome how singers born in the 80s ...have brought their version of our music 2 present day...this song will b played at my funeral when that day comes... I will "record" myself singing it now ..at 50🤣😂💕I was exactly 15 when this movie came out. I am part Princess and Rebel🤣💕
