then you learn about digital radiation...and it's effect on our brains. Just 2.4 Ghz....and friends. The seeds of what you talk about accelerated in the 80s.
I’m 72 I would give anything to be younger I’d like to be 40 again maybe even 50 I’d be happy at 60… 70 brings a lot of health issues a few steps closer to you nowhere
For those of us that remember, the eighties may have been the last generation to be truly connected by what was available to us on TV, Films, and in particular Music. There wasn’t the choice then that we have today, we watched, we listened, and we shared it all together, we laughed, and we cried together. There is of course greater access to everything now, but we collectively shared those experiences together in the 1980s, which is why we’re all still so connected. Today’s kids are tuned in and tuned out… if only we could turn back time!
you laughed harder when you were in a theatre surrounded by people laughing, you cried harder when you mom was beside you in the family room crying to a melodrama mini-series, we gathered around the lockers on Monday to talk about Friday's Miami Vice and to see who was wearing that look including no socks, we swapped albums so we could record off each other's and make mix tapes. We even had to sit n the same room to play 2 player Atari games. We shared it together.
No the last gen to not be normal are the people who are now in their 40s. Gen Z are dangerous 😮 Only a few are rejecting the systems teachings. We all grew up in a more normal innocent time. Thr reason why mostly everyone over 40 is normal is because we werent brought up by social media and narcissism as a way to aspire to be 😂.
I remember the Cineplex, the disco, the dance clubs, the malls, the group of friends with whom I hung out. I remember going to Chi-chis Restaurant where our friends were waiters for free meals on Saturday nights (of course we paid his tip in cash)... the prom and all the preparations. Big hair and neon clothes. Frankie Goes to Hollywood. It seems like yesterday but was a different world.
Wake up wach a little MTV, go to the Mall, waste a couple of quarters at Arcade, catch a John Hughes movie at the Cineplex, make out with your chick in the dark, go home and talk all night on the phone till the sun came up !!!!! Long live the 80s !!!!
The 80`s were the 80`s my friend,58 years old now but the 80`s are always in my thoughts.To have lived in that era can never be duplicated,we could say that we were blessed ................
Watching these great movies in the 80’s, as a teenager was more of a privilege than could have fathomed at the time. Now, at 53, I look back with with gratitude that I was lucky enough to be just the right age to get the message. RIP John Hughes.
This Really Hits Hard. The Nostalgia is so strong, it hurts. My Generation misses the 80's so much we want to go back, and I'm no exception. This is just more prof that the 80's was wonderfully weird and magical. Thanks.
It's the only period in History where everybody who lived in wants to go back, even those who were not in the 10s or 20s. It's more than nostalgia, it was the end of a period, a time when everything was still possible and the Future was still amazing, instead of boring and intrusive as nowadays.
If you grew up in the 80s with his movies, it is impossible to say they didn't help shape, even a little, the person you grew up to be! The Breakfast Club and Some Kind of Wonderful were my favorites.
I was literally Andrew McCarthy in high school who desperately wanted to be Steff I even had the alternative girlfriend, and drove that BMW. All we wanted was love and acceptance, and John Hughes figured it out
UH" I totally agree!! I grew up in Chicago inda 80s and I could relate to all his films like I was living them. Some kind of wonderful was near the end of his classics. Quote me if I'm wrong but I remember seeing that in the theatre in 87. I left that shithole that same year! Lmao!! Still love all these movies tho! ✌🇺🇸🏁♥
The memories we made in the 80's were the best... talking on a land line all night with your friends, hanging out at the mall, partying in the woods, MTV jams, Saturday morning cartoons, life was so much simpler ! The good times !
yip, topless girls at the lakes, good music.... traveling to other countries..... i am European, we drunk beer at 16...legal...and its still legal, we drove to Paris for breakfast, Amsterdam for dinner....my old passport is fully stamped...!
When I am old and feeble, and my mind no longer functions in the present, I pray that my remaining years will be lived immersed in my memories of this decade.
I became a 47 year old grandfather in 2019. Can you believe it??? Maybe I'll see you in the old folks home in 20 years. We'll party like it's 1999!!! Maybe we'll have an 80s themed Halloween bender? I'm going as Maverick.
I love it when he says "you knew you were gonna get these", She says..."I didn't know, I hoped". he says "you knew"....then Wise Man say only fools rush in".. Oh I love that scene!!!

John Hughes was the Mr. Rogers for us teenagers. RIP “Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Bueller
51 year old man and this brought tears to my eyes. What we didn't know then, I'm sure glad only WE can know now. I hate that my kids will never know it.
@@pascaldesnoeck8671me too, I have lost a lot of friends. Even my ex girlfriend’s who are no longer here I think of often. I miss the 80’s and my girls and friends from the military. I am worried what the next ten years will bring.
He made teenage boys feel like we had a fighting chance in both life and love. His movies are a huge part of my childhood and growing up. He like so many of the 80s are forever gone and never forgotten. I wish every day it was still the 80s. Having a world that was able to start being themselves without alot of judgement and people just seemed alot happier.
I told my friends on in December 1989. We are saying goodbye to the best decade and years of our lives. We'll go to different high schools next year and most of us will lose touch with each other. Some day we'll look each other up and think about our childhoods. We'll miss those who passed away 😢. Now we are in contact again. They told me... your words were so true.
If you didn't live through the 80s then you can't really appreciate just how incredible a decade it was. Pop culture-wise it will probably never be topped. Hughes was a genius, treated young adults as grown ups when no one else in Hollywood even entertained the idea.
18 to 28…. Graduated high school 80, graduated college 84, joined military 85, … The 1980s was the decade of decadence. The 80’s were a transition from heavy metal hair band rock, early pre gangster rap, decline of Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, spies, the AIDS epidemic, early internet, and PC computers, which include day glow neon spandex, big hair, emergence of Nintendo…. MTV, Video arcades, VHS… cable television… decent movies.. decent soundtracks… the brat pack
13 - 23, got drafted into the military in late 1990! good music, good movies and for us North Europeans, a lot of naked girls at our swimming lakes here...beer at 10, harder stuff at 12...we had freedoms, we still have! i liked the 70s too, for their girls with short skirts....
DAMN.... brings tears to my eyes! Amazing how a few well chosen video clips backed by this heartfelt one hit wonder of a song tugs at your emotions so much. I'm 54 and this sums up my entire childhood. I swear gen Xers must agree we lived in such a special time. Yes, it was the decade of excess and indulgence.... our country was thriving and proud! Our music stands the test of time! So many amazing artists stem from this decade. Best thing is we didn't have to tip toe on eggshells in fear of offending anyone, doing the wrong thing. We all just Got It!
Oh geeez…. Lol.. I thought I was replying to another 80’s tribute video with the song “Waiting for a Star to Fall”. And yes, of course the great PB was not a one hit wonder:)
For all us as Teens in the 1980's and Geeks / Ham Radio operators, comdex, computers, no cell phones needed, even to this day we have our Radio gear....still a geek today, still communicating with Ham Radio. RIP John Hughes, only the last 15 years realizing how special the 1980's were.
At 54yrs old I am often reminded that the 80's were the pinnacle of cool & culture, there just isn't another decade that I have lived thus far that has anywhere near the cultural impact that this decade did on the rest of us, and I say that knowing how impactful the 40's were, but not having experienced it I will still lay the 80's as the decade that mattered
I just this July 5 saw Beverly Hills Cop , Axel F. 2024, It was a Awesome movie, seemed like the good Ole 80's movie, but 40 years later. Had many of the original characters in it, only 40 years later, this 2024 movie was done correct. Saw it on Netflix.
Graduated High School (Australia) in 1984. John Hughes films were hugely important to the 80's Pop Culture vibe. I guess you had to be there to understand it. I still only listen to 80's music even today at 56 years old. I'd go back tomorrow if I could.
i left regular school in 83 here in Germany... the 80s didnt been that pink times, fear for WW3, Russians invaded Afghanistan, 750.000 Russian soldiers just 25km away from my place! we had a army of 600.000 man standing by! now, its under 200.000 with 20 million more citizens!
Grew up in the 80s, graduated H.S. in '89, spent my late teens, early 20s in the military, was a "radical" and "knarly" time to be alive! Will never, ever be, a more wonderfully awesome decade!! Long live the 80s!!
All these nostalgic BS comments on the lost of a connected generation are truly missing Hughes greatest commentary on the human condition. His message was one of endearing human nature that will always trump any changes in time. Every generation strives to connect and find their place in the world. I'm a gen X'er and have always found Hughes works to be positively inspirational and hopeful. So get over it Boomers. Just IMHO.
‘Oh I wanted these, I really wanted them… how do I look ?’ ‘You look good wearing my future’. Some kind of wonderful is in my top 5 films ever, Mary Stuart Masterson is absolutely stunning❤️.
I was a teen in the 80's and loved it, but all in all the decades before and after had all to contribute to making the 80's more special 😊 thank you all for making life worth living ❤ 😊
The last generation to understand what the world was like without internet and cellphones. Social contact was in person and not through an app and screen.

No damn cell phones or social media, real human interaction, taught people how to be confident and tough, handle real rejection, hard work, and most importantly, communication and trust were built , that is all gone now

A lot of things in the 80's will never be forgotten. A lot of things from 2000 to 2020 will be forgotten.
80's had best music all time really miss bring back remember drinking my friends it funny weekend came we got drunk. 😊😊😊😊😊
When I die I hope heaven is the 80s
Best decade ever. America was America.
I was 20 in 1980, so I spent my whole 20s in the decade, what an incredible time it was
Me too.
To be young in the 80s
Mary Stuart Masterson was so underrated
Some kind of Wonderful…….great film!
Was prettier in SKOW too!
Not to me.
Uhhh. Thanks?
Women like her hard to come by
The 80s were so awesome. There was no better era.
I LOVED Some kind of Wonderful! The “practice kiss” was the best!
I just watched this again after seeing this post. Mary Stuart Masterson was so much hotter than Lea Thompson. He ended up with the right one ❤️
This generation could use John Hughes unfortunately there will never be another I’m glad I got to experience his movies as I pass them onto my son
Graduated High School (Australia) in 1984. John Hughes films were hugely important to the 80's Pop Culture vibe. I guess you had to be there to understand it. I still only listen to 80's music even today at 56 years old. I'd go back tomorrow if I could.
i left regular school in 83 here in Germany...
the 80s didnt been that pink times, fear for WW3,
Russians invaded Afghanistan,
750.000 Russian soldiers just 25km away from my place!
we had a army of 600.000 man standing by!
now, its under 200.000 with 20 million more citizens!
Brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye.😊😢
Fuckin-A!❤
Damn...The best times of my life. It's never been the same since. I feel blessed to have grown up to all things 80s
I feel exactly the same way ❤
Hands down the best days of my life. Class of 1985.
Yep, I agree!
The 80s was the best
The director of my generation's (X) teen angst. rest in peace John we love you.
High school and college in the 80’s were the best of times. 😋👍
I preferred my Jr High and H.S., for me University was a large commuter campus, not exactly Animal House
God i miss those days!
Some Kind of Wonderful broke my heart..THEN...
I miss those years. Watching these clips are bitter sweet.
We will never have movies like this anymore.
No we won't, more's the pity. I don't like the kind of films Hollywood is churning out today, and I'm not afraid to say so.
We belong to the 80's. We that grew up during that era. Wish we could go back there sometimes. ❤
I think I'm going to be having a John Hughes marathon soon. I have most, if not all, of these movies.
The movies, the music, the people, the culture we all had it made and we didn't know it then but we know it now..........AH to be young again
80s was just epic. Never to be repeated
Movies will never be like the movies in the 80’s or life for that matter. The 80’s rule……….forever
Grew up in the 80s, graduated H.S. in '89, spent my late teens, early 20s in the military, was a "radical" and "knarly" time to be alive! Will never, ever be, a more wonderfully awesome decade!! Long live the 80s!!
The 80s were the best decade ever im an 80s baby ❤
All these nostalgic BS comments on the lost of a connected generation are truly missing Hughes greatest commentary on the human condition. His message was one of endearing human nature that will always trump any changes in time. Every generation strives to connect and find their place in the world. I'm a gen X'er and have always found Hughes works to be positively inspirational and hopeful. So get over it Boomers. Just IMHO.
The 80s were the best time of My life
I will always be there in the 80s.. it's in my timeline..when i was young then..
‘Oh I wanted these, I really wanted them… how do I look ?’ ‘You look good wearing my future’. Some kind of wonderful is in my top 5 films ever, Mary Stuart Masterson is absolutely stunning❤️.
Love it
John Hughes was a legend! Loved his movies growing up in the 80s ❤
Yep, the 80's belonged to the genius John Hughes. RIP legend!
Yes!
The best time to be alive. Would not trade my time in the 80's for anything and would trade almost everything to go back.
I was a teen in the 80's and loved it, but all in all the decades before and after had all to contribute to making the 80's more special 😊 thank you all for making life worth living ❤ 😊
those were the best time of my life
How lucky we all were to grow up in the 80’s. I think back often at to what a magical time it was. Greatful for every single day of it.
What a time we were living in!
John Hughes, best director that defined my 80's growing up. I miss you! :(
Yes!
As a GenX dad. I miss the 80’s & 90’s.
Best movies, best music, best artists, and the best celebrities, that was the 80s
That was a decade of great movies. Hollywood has no imagination anymore.
Mary Stuart Masterson was a great actress and under appreciated ❤
My adolescence is long gone, and I’m feeling older. This music and movies will always bring me back.
The last generation to understand what the world was like without internet and cellphones. Social contact was in person and not through an app and screen.
the 80's were amazing.
