Those who never got to experience the 80's will NEVER understand how amazing it was. Life was a blast and the music...will NEVER be duplicated! The dancing, the music, the girls...I could go on for hours. I miss the 80's.
I'm 50, and I'm telling you now...the 80's is at THE top of the food chain when it comes to music, dancing and talent. No decade will ever come close to the 80's, NEVER!
50’s best for overall life conditions 70’s best environment drugs 80’s best for music / intro to videos and games 90’s hated the 90’s music lol.. grunge :/ Now EDM when that came on the scene and the ecstasy was pure back in the mid 90’s that was a fun time too
me too, watching many of these to Re FRESH My Memory, i plan on doing an Old School Rap Tribute / Video Vlog talking about it. ending of Nov, to anyone please check it out
This 54 yr old can pop, lock and drop. Being double jointed in all of the joints and with arthritis helps them to keep the flex ability. But my knees would lock and then I drop. 😂😂😂 learned from the best went to Compton and my friend had a block party. Her Auntie had invited The Clown. Had a lot of fun and learned about dance wars. Also, everyone competed for dance offs and more.
🩷the User name or are you named after? The 70 and 80's were a lot more simple. Yet great. In the 90's , I was living my best years as a divorced adult w my own apartment and single. Yoo- Hoo! My late 20's - all my 30's life was life' n for me........ If I could only go back and feel that alive and free again. I'm awake now, what a dream. Now off to work I go in 3 hours. Enjoy your Night- 🎧
These were the best times. At 53 I'm feeling truly blessed to have been able to be a part of this time period and experience it firsthand. So glad I can go back in time with these videos.
I was born in 1971. My teenage years were full of this in L.A. I was 13, when this song came out. 80s were my teen years, 90s my young adult days. I'm so blessed to have lived in 2 great decades!!! 👍
ME! Trying to breakdance to this at 56 y.o.! 🤕😅 I COULD do the moves at 5:00 Well, at least I can STILL pop lock a bit like Turbo! 👩🏿🦱❤️💪🏽It's a lot safer!😅 Great power!🩶👨🏾🦳
@@jeffersonjeffo8457 If your only focus is in the hiphop/rap genre then I agree that there is a decline in creativity, rappers dont even release albums anymore they release single after single just to stay trending and so people dont forget about them, where as before they would drop an album, do some touring take a break to create a new album and so on, And there is no message in todays rap either, Its all ignorant bs that they talk about, compared to before with groups like Public Enemy, KrsOne, Rakim, Kool moe dee, Run Dmc, shit even the Beastie Boys and the Fat boys had something to say, Then corporate racist music industry decided to create superstar marketing boy band groups and girl band groups, backstreet boys and spice girls to name a few, and from then on you got American Idol, The Voice pushing out bs singers that are only famous during the competition but then after the show is over you never hear about them again and yeah just bs after bs just like the current politicians full of bs, and the house of senate full of old ass dinosaurs, and Woah! woah! let me pull the reigns on this horse so i can get off ✌
Well in Miami there was lots of violence it was the scarface drug lord miami vice days and it was real and still exists today to a slightly different extent. I should know I was born and raised in Miami.
My husband Is 55 year old an was also a break dancer in 84' an still loves his music sadly to say he's fighting for his life right now in the hospital an we all praying for you baby I love you very much!!!😢
This was the shit we we re all having so much fun me my cuz my babys father and many good friends we re all down with this and in a truck club knowing we were the shiiiiiiit😂😂😂😂😂😂
When the dancefloor cleared and a circle formed...you knew it was about to go down. I was born in '73 so most of my youth was in the 80's...an absolute blessing indeed.
'73 Team...my youth was in the 80's too, i discovered Hip Hop with this TV show in France in 1984, the first in the world. th-cam.com/video/snUL2IBlB88/w-d-xo.html with Boogaloo shrimp and Shabba doo.
All of them on the left of the floor sucked, the ones with the stripes on there pants were far better, I never broke or popped in 85 cuase I felt I would get hurt for baseball but in the early 80s everyone around me was popping or breaking.
I'm 24 and have always felt like I was born in wrong generation. I love EVERYTHING about the 80s, so simple, no cell phones, nice cars, badass music, seemed like a good time. What I would do to be reborn in the 70s to experience the 80s lol
@Zach Zee Actually cellphones were invented back in the eighties. They were much bigger back then and their were literally only a few broadcast towers back then. But they were so expensive at the time only the rich could afford them.
In 1984-85 in Florida visiting my grandparents for the summer I ended up in a park with a break dance contest going on. The biggest boom box, the clothes, and I didn't know the first person there. It was black people, white people, latin people. I had so much fun that night I remember it 40 years later. And like someone else said in the comments, no guns, no violence, just having fun.
@James naw fool y’all got no talent or originality y’all shit old after first month of play lmfao I still listen to this and I was born in 89 😂 yall mf don’t be talking bout nothing nobody ain’t did already y’all good but plain like a yellow bag of lays potatoe chips 😂 y’all gotta get some ass shakers to make it sell
Debatable... I'm into electronic music which is a massive genre. This is considered to be* electronic music. I came for the song (mentioned on a podcast) though I stayed for the break dancing.
I was a teen when this was released and breaking was trending. Our high school would open the gym during lunch to give us a safe place to dance. The stands were usually full of kids watching individual and teams challenge each other. Funny how back then beefs were usually resolved on the dance floor, unlike today.
You really don't have no idea! I don't say that to be mean, it's just the facts. I mean through a weekend I would have probably eaten like probably 4 tabs (XTC), 2 each night n when the sun come up I would eat blotter acid most of the time n liquid sometimes usually in a McCormack food coloring bottle n taste like Everclear or Tiquila. You definitely want it cut already if you careless. Might not ever come back. For real I can't explain to you how it was n I miss it kinda. The music especially n the memories I have some I don't know how or why but...... Anyway look up New Beat as a genre of music originally started in Belgium n not Germany but the music CROSSED OVER the invisible devide that even though not official New Beat from Belgium it was n is hard core mostly n it was still good but it was different from Belgium but still very good. That is when the tabs blew up like crazy 4 ways for 10 dollars. 4 people could get fucked up for real n not just a little bit either for $2.50 cents n roll balls all night long with your eyeballs in the back of your head. Those that understand understand. Boy a whole lot of people missed the fuck out on that shit. Just saying Brian M.
I'm 58 and this song still gets me dancing 🕺.. Nothing is like the 80's. Especially when it comes to dance. Those were the days we played together instead of this virual fake world we live in today.

I am a Chicagoan from Little Village. Break dancing was a unification of youth back in the 1980's. Kids who danced on the street and competed. We did'nt kill each other we "Battled each other " meaning we competed. I am in my mid 50's and i wish i was a kid again back in the 80's
*Who else came to witness some* *authentic old-school* *breakdancing after that* *gentrified Olympic sport? It's* *time to watch the real masters in* *action!*
I’m 53 now, growing in the 80’s great music. Love the Double Dutch Bus is one of my favorites. My older brother taught me how to robot and the backward kick worm. I can still do the robot but not the kick worm. Taught myself how to pop n lock (being double jointed help). Learned how to pop my hips to the sides lift and right.
I’m 57 and cannot express how much Millennials and Gen-Z missed musically in the 70s and 80s. It’s a shame they learn about this music because of the madness of sampling by today’s “artists”.
@@ttllymxico Uuuh, I was there. The first rap HIT (not first rap song) by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1979 used Chic’s “Good Times” as its music. Only a few rappers sampled. Now, most rappers and some pop acts sample pop music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Hell, even this new Asian pop singer gets his entire beat from Rene’ and Angela (early 80s). It’s a compliment…I just hope they properly credit the writers/owners of the original music.
I was 19 in 84 and this song was in the dance clubs I remember watching people gather on the dance floor to watch breakdancers, how in the hell did I get old, this feels like yesterday , it’s funny how a Song can take you back in time so quickly! Damn I loved the 80’s wish I could go back be young , pretty, petite, and wear all those outfits from that decade. If it was possible to go back for a least one night as we used to say it would be totally awesome!
@@uncletony3025 That is so cool. I grew up in NYC and remember back in the 80's watching them on the street corners breaking on cardboard boxes. Those were the good old days. By the way I love your TH-cam name. I had an Uncle Tony. God I miss him so much 😢
@@FuturesPast1 here in California they battled at the High School Auditorium. A lot of them would practice at the parks, they would move the park seat and lay cardboards down. The best dancer I ever saw wore a mask and we never saw his face, but he was built like a gymnast. He’d fly in the air land and do the splits, do a jumping windmill, head spin for days, all kinds of crazy moves. We had tapes of everything but lost it all in a house fire.
⭐⭐⭐⭐In the 80s, I had the privilege of meeting them and dancing with them. These moments are part of my youth, it's quite a story! For me, they are legends, essential figures of breakdance. Their style, their charisma and their energy are irreplaceable. Adolfo Shabba-Doo💝Michael Boogaloow💝 and Pop'n Taco💝 will remain forever etched in my memory. Thank you for all these unforgettable memories. God bless them 🩵🧡♥️
@Mark Riley at least we saw it through raw first hand experience If we saw anything more credited to the cause and revolutionary vibe music brings in on every level the meaning of any promise of a coming day and the dreams that make it to the top of the mountain stand with the ones that hoped for the pinnacle, the vibe of truth and the beat goes on eternal, infinite essence there wont ever be anything like we witnessed in the power that music always has & always will be. We saw a miracle in its forming and I testify to that as irreplaceable and sacred. We never forget where we come from Streets of Fire & always down for the cause!
Yessss! 80s baby.. 84 to be exact. I played this song the minute of my 40th bday at 12am.. I love this and it was the first thing I heard turning 40 and I am so grateful ❤ I don't know why I'm so attracted to 80s music but I am and it makes me think that I was turnt TF up in the womb in 84 when all this great music came out! Lol😂
Started 1980 as a ten year old & was fortunate to be a teen during the 80’s. No cell phones…no home computers. Just mtv & lots of great music & dance. People got along & you didn’t have to worry about being woke or politically correct. No unisex bathrooms or people identifying themselves by using pronouns. You were a guy or a girl & if you were gay, no problem. The music of that time brought all kinds of people together.
I was a kid in the early 1980's we were at the roller rink rollerskating to this song. Miss rollerskating in the early 1980's. The early 1980's was the best time to live the United States. Miss the the early 1980's.
Puerto Ricans started breakdancing Then came the Culture Vultures smh To add insult to injury they don't let the Puerto Ricans or any hispanics in tje Rapp hip hop industry....... Facts 🤦♂️
The 80,s absolutely greatest decade EVER for movies, toys, video games, music,TV shows ,fashion,sport cars, celebrities, real hiphop rap,fast food, WWF sports and a whole lot More.... NEVER to be replicated 🇺🇲🇵🇷
Remember Tonka had real heavy duty trucks made from metal not plastic to save money? Radio Flyer Wagon was real and not plastic? Love the 80's never forget!!! 80's baby I am born in 84
This tune gives me the chills! Takes me back to the 80's! We weren't stuck to our phones we were out there jamining and taking on other crews. Making memories that will last years!
and now you are the grandpas talking shit about the teenagers of today. Bet you were bitching about it when your generations old people told you your breaking shit was nonsense and that the 1950s were the real deal. How the fuck does every generation go through the same cycle of "our generation was the best"? Just enjoy the time you had and accept that you know nothing about the culture of today's kids you grumpy old man
Born in 72 and every time I hear this song it makes me want to start popping and locking cuz I get so hyped up but, I can not dance to save my life 😅 The 80's were the best and I'm so glad I was able to experience this music firsthand ❤❤
I’m 51 and I always thought he was a cutie. He was my boyfriend in my head.😆 Didn’t know that he and Lela Rochon were married once upon a time. She was always so pretty to me.
@@williamjohnson1858 If I could get the music in my head I might get close. Finish this one I know you got it. “Now what you hear is not a test I’m rappn to the beat … Me the groove and my friends are gonna try to move your feet … Ya see I am wonder Mike and I’d like to say…….. ✌️my friend (I was in 7th grade when this song changed everything)
Oh my god, this immediately gave me flashbacks of Saturday night at the skating rink in the 80's. 50¢ nachos, 25¢ Pepsi, Dig-Dug, and the smell of used rental skates. God I wish it was the 80's still.
@@billsimms2511 I don't think so. My town used to have two rinks, but both have been closed for decades. Plus, parents today would never drop their kids off anywhere by themselves. The internet has made people afraid of the world. I'm always hearing about some nosey neighbor calling the police because some kids were playing unsupervised in their own front yard or police arresting the parent because their 12 year old walked home from school alone. The 80's were awesome for a lot of reason. It must suck to be a kid these days. I know being an adult isn't a lot of fun.
We're all almost senior citizens now, and I'm proud to have been around break dancing's inception. Kid's today have taken it to a whole other level. This was one of my favorite songs and video.
Exactly. It was a wonderful time to be a kid and grow up. We witnessed MTV when it was just videos Check out Sugar Hill Gang. 53 and still know the words
You are giving them too much credit. Before lockdowns, I was 41. Chick dancing like a gymnastics star. Ppl usually would shove tips in my belt. I ask one of the shy djs if he wanted to afterparty at my hot tub. He said, "How about you come out to my hot tub". So I did. Super impressed with all his computer tech. The next morning I asked how old he was. Guessing 35 but I was wrong he was 25. I often get mistaken for younger. But he freaked out. I didn't hear back from him. If the whole club thinks I'm younger since getting into clubs. Like what a wimp he ghosted me. I wanted to pick his mind on all computerized day job things. Nope. I barely was into the after party but their set was exceptional. This club was La Cage, Jeffrey Dahmers old stalking grounds. I could have lied about my age, but I'm a 1978 Vintage model. I'm proud to be from 78.

This song takes me back to when I was about 10 or 11 years old..my mom took me to Coney Island and I rode that ride that spins forwards, then backwards , know what I mean! This song was playing...Thankfully, my mom is still with us, so we can reminisce about that wonderful day...always think of her when I hear this song! Hi Mom! Love U!
I born in 1973 I remember this era like was yesterday thanks god for letting me live in this beautiful decade, 2024 and I still play this music also keep conserving my 1985 k5 blazer as my weekend toy, thanks for sharing, this times never comes back again.
One of the greatest pieces of music ever made. Im 49. I grew up on the Beatles, hair metal, The Dead, Run DMC, Dee-Lute, Slayer, Mushroomhead... all of this music and MANY more influential bands made me who I am. Ill pop and lock to this then whip up a frenzy listening to Garage Days (you know what i mean) Music... one of the few things that bring us as a civilization together. Jam mo nay
I’m 51 and remember dancing to this at school dances and house parties. The 80s were the absolutely best decade! I will always dance when I hear this song. My knees may not, but dammit I will!😂
That my friend I WISH TOO. I WISH IT TOO MUCH... I WISH MY LIFE WAS A LIFE NOW LET ALONE THEN. But we still living I guess so that's the main thing. Just we be wishing ALOT more NIW then before.. I'll never really get how life GETS worse the older you get. BUT IT DOES AND FOR SOME IT HITS HARDER THAN OTHERS. SO TAKE A MINUTE OF TIME AND JUST SEND A NICE POST TO ANYONE.. NEVER NO. THEY MAY NEED IT. AS ALSO COULD SAVE ME... I LOVE YOU ALL AMERICA AND I WISH YOU ONE HELL OF A FUN WEEKEND.. KEEP ME IN MIND AS WE ALL GO BACK IN TIME IN MIND AND HAVE A BLAST.. 💙💙💙🌷🌷🌺🌺🌺❤❤
We all no that would be so true. Nothing could compare to back in our day.. They don't even seem to play our kind of music in regular radio anymore so we all can just picture the big break now... NOTHING AS IT WAS FOR US IN OUR DAYS. A FLIPPEN BLAST..🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
I'm 53 and loved the breakdancing era. I was so excited with this new dance, hi-fi, zx spectrum, and clubbing it. Best years of my life. I couldn't breakdance as it took a crew, the stereo and the right environment. I had one or two people who knew how to body Pop but nowhere near this level. I guess my skill was recording and sampling. As I say, i needed the right crew to excel in this. Thank God for the 80's so awesome!! But still, the memories were awesome
I’m a 55 year old female and I listen to this song regularly on Spotify. I remember in high school in the 80’s guys were break dancing at parties and it was mesmerizing.
@@enriquecortes1948 no internet back then. Movie took place in the Bronx where it started. But L.A. was popin back then too sound was a little different but great i was in Boston mass back then.
@@richlong4119 yes, that's what I meant, . . .WHERE WERE YOU THEN, I seen the movie and know it's from new york, break dancing, (back then), was called New York Style, in Los Angeles that is. Good times. Take Care bro.
I am so proud to have come of age in the 80's. We danced All night, guys took care for girls without looking for anything else but a good time on the dancefloor. So many good memories
This is my EARLIEST MEMORY OF MUSIC. Got Off the subway with my Grandma and I saw all these boys with a boom box and a cardboard platform they was dancing on. I was like 5 or 6. We were going shopping. I remember she brought me a Star Wars figure that day. I still remember the smell of the Woolworths. Hotdogs and hot pretzels!
Omggggg!!!! Dude... I've lived out the same experience on Jamaica Ave near where the now out business "Mays" used to be!!! Me, my lil sister, my Mom and my Aunt Ivy was getting some pizza from the lil hole in the wall joint next door!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Omg! Woolworth 's. My grandmother would buy a bag of hot salted peanuts that sat under a heated lamp. Sometimes we'd have lunch there. It was on Jamaica Ave. in New York. I was so little. I wanna go back too.😔
Dancing in this video made me so joyful. Knew the words to the songs, too. The moves, the clothes, the hair, the makeup and of course the Chuckies shoes were on point. Too bad the breaking competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics didn’t take notes.
Created in 73, God gave me the opportunity to experience the 70s. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience thus time. Love it. Music when it meant something. Crazy stuff this decade.🤔💯👍💯👍
The music was so much better back then. I miss those days! I'm 53 and I remember The poplocking duels would be out of this world. The dancers in this video are top notch athletes for real
I love this old skool stuff.... yea and I’m white but the nostalgia of that time... old school hip hop had a lot to do with the way things were.... just happiness and enjoying the music and no one noticed the color of each other’s skin.... we all just JAM ON IT!!!
Couldn't have said it better myself.. As well it didn't matter size back then either like now days it's either your perfect fat or to skinny.. Never knew words they use no days for terms back in our jam on it day's..

So true. Those were the days.
Truth bro.. truth
I feel sorry for my Kids :( you do realise the younger generations consider us dinosaurs :(
Mc max thier jealous on the inside, Were never Dinosaurs unless you portray yourself as one
Best decade of my life.
I'm 50, and I'm telling you now...the 80's is at THE top of the food chain when it comes to music, dancing and talent. No decade will ever come close to the 80's, NEVER!
The only decade worse than the 80s was the 2010s. 2020s are off to a pretty awful start as well.
the 90's was good also
Sorry friend, the 80s were damn good, but the 70s beats it hands down, i know, i was there :).
50’s best for overall life conditions
70’s best environment drugs
80’s best for music / intro to videos and games
90’s hated the 90’s music lol.. grunge :/
Now EDM when that came on the scene and the ecstasy was pure back in the mid 90’s that was a fun time too
It is also the decade that get sampled/cloned/copied on so many levels whether it be music or other things
I'm here Nov 2 2024! Long live the 80s! Best Decade Ever!!!

I was born in 69 and was a teenager in the 80's. The diversity in music, dancing etc was such a great time and era. Still makes me smile.
Born the same year. Feel the same💕
69 here TOO
A few years earlier, but it was a cacophony of music.
little bit older here, but the the 80s were the best.
Same year same opinion
The 70s and 80s best year's of life.
Damn straight born 69’
Da minha vida tambem❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊 simplesmente maravilhosos esses anos 😊😊😊😊

Good clean non cussing rap songs.
@@albertobetto522 Believe me. I was there... Today good music has almost dissapeared...
@@jeffersonjeffo8457 If your only focus is in the hiphop/rap genre then I agree that there is a decline in creativity, rappers dont even release albums anymore they release single after single just to stay trending and so people dont forget about them, where as before they would drop an album, do some touring take a break to create a new album and so on, And there is no message in todays rap either, Its all ignorant bs that they talk about, compared to before with groups like Public Enemy, KrsOne, Rakim, Kool moe dee, Run Dmc, shit even the Beastie Boys and the Fat boys had something to say, Then corporate racist music industry decided to create superstar marketing boy band groups and girl band groups, backstreet boys and spice girls to name a few, and from then on you got American Idol, The Voice pushing out bs singers that are only famous during the competition but then after the show is over you never hear about them again and yeah just bs after bs just like the current politicians full of bs, and the house of senate full of old ass dinosaurs, and Woah! woah! let me pull the reigns on this horse so i can get off ✌
No cussin, no guns, no violence. Just sound and dance. That was the 80's. Glad I got to experience it.
Lmao. Dumbest thing I've ever read.
Well in Miami there was lots of violence it was the scarface drug lord miami vice days and it was real and still exists today to a slightly different extent. I should know I was born and raised in Miami.
Similar to Michael Jackson.
If you had a problem with somebody you getting their face and dance it off
That’s how you know it was a movie. There was plenty of all that, it just wasn’t sensationalized for tv and politics.
My husband Is 55 year old an was also a break dancer in 84' an still loves his music sadly to say he's fighting for his life right now in the hospital an we all praying for you baby I love you very much!!!😢
Prayers for you both
My prayers to you
Prayers
God bless you guys I'm going to pray for you guys we just to believe in God and everything going to be alright like Bob Marley say
Sending positive vibes your way
This was some nasty work here!! What a time to be alive back then! To witness breakdancing in its purest form!! Simply amazing!!!!
Boy if I could turn back the hands of time I would stop at the 80s an stay there
same here... 80s THE BEST.
WORD
Love that
Every kid in high school in '84 wanted to be cool --- it was a great time to be a kid and enjoying all that music
Good time nothing like the 80s I represent NYC ❤
I was born in 1964 and I still say this is 🔥🔥🔥 This is real Rap Music
'67 here and it's what I first considered Rap music
This was the shit we we re all having so much fun me my cuz my babys father and many good friends we re all down with this and in a truck club knowing we were the shiiiiiiit😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was born in 65 and I also have a great love and appreciation of this music.
The only rap music!
End of the Boomer's beginning of gen X. Gen X started this.
These dancers would own the 2024 Olympics. Period!!!!!!! You can't do it like they did back in the day!!!!!!!

I went to Junior High school school with Noel. He was in the group wearing red Those were the days😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
December 2024 here and remember them from 1984 too. The talent was incredible 😎
100% agree with you there. Same age . Could Never quite Master those moves
@ It took a tremendous amount of strength. I was a dancer then too, not professionally, but could never get to their level.
When the dancefloor cleared and a circle formed...you knew it was about to go down.
I was born in '73 so most of my youth was in the 80's...an absolute blessing indeed.
'73 Team...my youth was in the 80's too, i discovered Hip Hop with this TV show in France in 1984, the first in the world.
th-cam.com/video/snUL2IBlB88/w-d-xo.html with Boogaloo shrimp and Shabba doo.
Omg…I was born in 1973 also and i remember soul train dancers
73' as well! Am more than blessed to have witnessed all of the good and bad. Was a military brat too!
All of them on the left of the floor sucked, the ones with the stripes on there pants were far better,
I never broke or popped in 85 cuase I felt I would get hurt for baseball but in the early 80s everyone around me was popping or breaking.
Born in 1976 I remember my older family members trying to break dance🤣🤣 the 80s was a fun time🤩🤩
The first break Dancer is my Father in red Ramon! I’m so proud of him. Still have some moves on his 53 year old. 😂❤️
That's so cool!
My Father heard that loud in his VW Käfer:))))))
wowwwww cool story
First breaker is actually Anthony Lopez aka Powerful Pexster of the NYC breakers.
I assume NYC?
I'm 24 and have always felt like I was born in wrong generation. I love EVERYTHING about the 80s, so simple, no cell phones, nice cars, badass music, seemed like a good time. What I would do to be reborn in the 70s to experience the 80s lol
Yep! You missed a REALLY GREAT time in history.
Sport was pure & wild back then also.
Started to sense it was slipping circa 87-88
The 80's was awesome. No internet, very few had cable. Skate boards, roller blaes, bikes, nintendo. Early 90's was the same. Went downhill after '95.
@@Dave-ui6xn facts.
@Zach Zee Actually cellphones were invented back in the eighties. They were much bigger back then and their were literally only a few broadcast towers back then. But they were so expensive at the time only the rich could afford them.
In 1984-85 in Florida visiting my grandparents for the summer I ended up in a park with a break dance contest going on. The biggest boom box, the clothes, and I didn't know the first person there. It was black people, white people, latin people. I had so much fun that night I remember it 40 years later. And like someone else said in the comments, no guns, no violence, just having fun.
I am 51 years old. This song NEVER gets old. The trendsetters of the 80's are the foundation of music today
56 Years old, and it’s an amazing song still
@James naw fool y’all got no talent or originality y’all shit old after first month of play lmfao I still listen to this and I was born in 89 😂 yall mf don’t be talking bout nothing nobody ain’t did already y’all good but plain like a yellow bag of lays potatoe chips 😂 y’all gotta get some ass shakers to make it sell
@James Yet the youth lock and pop, doing our "old" dances.
@James it was brand new. Everything evolved from this. If it's so old so quick, why are you and I here 40 years later?
@@chezchezchezchez me too, the 80s were fabulous
I can’t believe this song is 40 years old ! Still a classic 80s music is still better then the music today 👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
Debatable... I'm into electronic music which is a massive genre. This is considered to be* electronic music. I came for the song (mentioned on a podcast) though I stayed for the break dancing.
💯 exactly
ALL DAY LONG !!!!!
Still going bro
Right crazy 40 years ago I was jamming to this
As a 17 year old today I really wish people would still get down like this
@TheFrogFootman not even. The other team would show up and start shooting the “opps “. Dumbest shit ever. Gawd I’m grateful I grew up in the 80’s
@@KittyKittyBangBang249 The bronx in the 80s these would get shot up often
you can't smoke no more in clubs
I was a teen when this was released and breaking was trending. Our high school would open the gym during lunch to give us a safe place to dance. The stands were usually full of kids watching individual and teams challenge each other. Funny how back then beefs were usually resolved on the dance floor, unlike today.
You really don't have no idea! I don't say that to be mean, it's just the facts. I mean through a weekend I would have probably eaten like probably 4 tabs (XTC), 2 each night n when the sun come up I would eat blotter acid most of the time n liquid sometimes usually in a McCormack food coloring bottle n taste like Everclear or Tiquila. You definitely want it cut already if you careless. Might not ever come back. For real I can't explain to you how it was n I miss it kinda. The music especially n the memories I have some I don't know how or why but...... Anyway look up New Beat as a genre of music originally started in Belgium n not Germany but the music CROSSED OVER the invisible devide that even though not official New Beat from Belgium it was n is hard core mostly n it was still good but it was different from Belgium but still very good. That is when the tabs blew up like crazy 4 ways for 10 dollars. 4 people could get fucked up for real n not just a little bit either for $2.50 cents n roll balls all night long with your eyeballs in the back of your head. Those that understand understand. Boy a whole lot of people missed the fuck out on that shit. Just saying

I am a Chicagoan from Little Village. Break dancing was a unification of youth back in the 1980's. Kids who danced on the street and competed. We did'nt kill each other we "Battled each other " meaning we competed. I am in my mid 50's and i wish i was a kid again back in the 80's
Grew up in the NW burbs in the 80’s. Agree 100%. Grew up in the roller rink and we taught each other how to dance to this jam and the others.
Same here WEST SIDE 😊
Im still here 13th 11 2024.Long live the 80s👍👏
ABSOLUTELY 💯 💯

I want to go back to Philly in the 80’s so bad, Puerto Ricans and Blacks were like family. I miss that unity.

That Olympics was something all right.

Nothing better than these guys in the movie, I wish they put Bronx competitors in LA28 to show what the real moves are
I'm 52 now, this is still as good now as it was in the 80s
Hi
Same I'm 45 .....
55 this year and still blasting the good stuff
I’m 53 now, growing in the 80’s great music. Love the Double Dutch Bus is one of my favorites. My older brother taught me how to robot and the backward kick worm. I can still do the robot but not the kick worm. Taught myself how to pop n lock (being double jointed help). Learned how to pop my hips to the sides lift and right.
Right ✅
'72 that sweet spot
If you didn’t grow up with this music, I’m sorry.
Brooklyn here saw it all
Good music is timeless. Any future youth can grow up to it. Wake up people.
Born in 97 & my dad still plays all these old school jams, I love them
OMG what I had all kinds of boom boxes back in the day that box I had in Rehoboth Delaware and was kicking it❤❤❤❤
For real
Im 99 years old. And i think the 80s just had something special.
I’m 57 and cannot express how much Millennials and Gen-Z missed musically in the 70s and 80s. It’s a shame they learn about this music because of the madness of sampling by today’s “artists”.
uh 80s was already sampling
@@ttllymxico Uuuh, I was there. The first rap HIT (not first rap song) by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1979 used Chic’s “Good Times” as its music. Only a few rappers sampled. Now, most rappers and some pop acts sample pop music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Hell, even this new Asian pop singer gets his entire beat from Rene’ and Angela (early 80s). It’s a compliment…I just hope they properly credit the writers/owners of the original music.
You're giving yourselves too much credit. Today's music is vastly superior, and it is accessible by everyone.
@@LSDale LoL. Now literally imitates everything.
I couldn’t have said it any better myself- Amen to that
I was 19 in 84 and this song was in the dance clubs I remember watching people gather on the dance floor to watch breakdancers, how in the hell did I get old, this feels like yesterday , it’s funny how a Song can take you back in time so quickly! Damn I loved the 80’s wish I could go back be young , pretty, petite, and wear all those outfits from that decade. If it was possible to go back for a least one night as we used to say it would be totally awesome!
Totally!!

thank you for your comments man it's nice to reminisce go back and listen to you guys that's why I play this music to give us heart so
Can you imagine all the talent and physical fitness and agility that goes into all of this??? Absolutely amazing!
Most of these dancers were so athletic I bet they would have been good enough to go to the olympics and beat every country for the gold in gymnastics!
A lot of them did gymnastics in college. Others would practice for hours every day. I seen many of these dance battles in the early 90’s.
@@uncletony3025 That is so cool. I grew up in NYC and remember back in the 80's watching them on the street corners breaking on cardboard boxes. Those were the good old days. By the way I love your TH-cam name. I had an Uncle Tony. God I miss him so much 😢
@@FuturesPast1 here in California they battled at the High School Auditorium. A lot of them would practice at the parks, they would move the park seat and lay cardboards down. The best dancer I ever saw wore a mask and we never saw his face, but he was built like a gymnast. He’d fly in the air land and do the splits, do a jumping windmill, head spin for days, all kinds of crazy moves. We had tapes of everything but lost it all in a house fire.
@@uncletony3025 So sorry you had a house fire and lost it. It would have been so cool to see.
⭐⭐⭐⭐In the 80s, I had the privilege of meeting them and dancing with them. These moments are part of my youth, it's quite a story! For me, they are legends, essential figures of breakdance. Their style, their charisma and their energy are irreplaceable. Adolfo Shabba-Doo💝Michael Boogaloow💝 and Pop'n Taco💝 will remain forever etched in my memory. Thank you for all these unforgettable memories.
God bless them 🩵🧡♥️
Those were the days of my youth....long gone. I haven't seen anything like it since.
Yup.. Gen X we caught the last of it!
@Mark Riley
at least we saw it through raw first hand experience
If we saw anything more credited to the cause and revolutionary vibe music brings in on every level
the meaning of any promise of a coming day
and the dreams that make it to the top of the mountain stand with the ones that hoped for the pinnacle, the vibe of truth
and the beat goes on eternal, infinite essence
there wont ever be anything like we witnessed in the power that music always has & always will be.
We saw a miracle in its forming and I testify to that as irreplaceable and sacred.
We never forget where we come from
Streets of Fire & always down for the cause!
Sad isn't it
I was break dancing to this in the 80's, best times ever!

Well Said Tone!
Thank God! We Grew Up When We Did!
Started 1980 as a ten year old & was fortunate to be a teen during the 80’s. No cell phones…no home computers. Just mtv & lots of great music & dance. People got along & you didn’t have to worry about being woke or politically correct. No unisex bathrooms or people identifying themselves by using pronouns. You were a guy or a girl & if you were gay, no problem. The music of that time brought all kinds of people together.
I was a kid in the early 1980's we were at the roller rink rollerskating to this song. Miss rollerskating in the early 1980's. The early 1980's was the best time to live the United States. Miss the the early 1980's.
Endless music is coming back with our new generations nothing like our 80’s 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩🤩

Same here!
Yep. Do kids still go to roller skating rinks? My nephews and nieces never talk about doing things like that
@@billsimms2511 I don't think so. My town used to have two rinks, but both have been closed for decades. Plus, parents today would never drop their kids off anywhere by themselves. The internet has made people afraid of the world. I'm always hearing about some nosey neighbor calling the police because some kids were playing unsupervised in their own front yard or police arresting the parent because their 12 year old walked home from school alone. The 80's were awesome for a lot of reason. It must suck to be a kid these days. I know being an adult isn't a lot of fun.
SAME !! Makes me want to go check the rink out this weekend!! Amazingly its still open; Skate-Away in Shillington PA!
We're all almost senior citizens now, and I'm proud to have been around break dancing's inception. Kid's today have taken it to a whole other level. This was one of my favorite songs and video.
Exactly. It was a wonderful time to be a kid and grow up. We witnessed MTV when it was just videos
Check out Sugar Hill Gang. 53 and still know the words

You are giving them too much credit.
Before lockdowns, I was 41. Chick dancing like a gymnastics star. Ppl usually would shove tips in my belt.
I ask one of the shy djs if he wanted to afterparty at my hot tub. He said, "How about you come out to my hot tub". So I did. Super impressed with all his computer tech. The next morning I asked how old he was. Guessing 35 but I was wrong he was 25. I often get mistaken for younger. But he freaked out. I didn't hear back from him. If the whole club thinks I'm younger since getting into clubs. Like what a wimp he ghosted me. I wanted to pick his mind on all computerized day job things. Nope. I barely was into the after party but their set was exceptional.
This club was La Cage, Jeffrey Dahmers old stalking grounds.
I could have lied about my age, but I'm a 1978 Vintage model. I'm proud to be from 78.
I'm 58 and still my favorite song. Plus I still break dance when I can

Didn't start breakdancing til I was 18 and I was born in the 80s
@@franktruth6322 they can't beat the rocksteady crew
We all no that would be so true. Nothing could compare to back in our day.. They don't even seem to play our kind of music in regular radio anymore so we all can just picture the big break now... NOTHING AS IT WAS FOR US IN OUR DAYS. A FLIPPEN BLAST..🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Thank you Racer X (Speed Race and the Mach 5) Most of are over the overweight. Hee Hee Hee! Haw Haw Haw!!!
47 years old - man I am glad to have lived through this back in the 80s
Me too brother…great times back then.
The most creative time in hip hop.
Me too,and same age 😃
It turned from this in the 80s to Rave Parties in the 90s
I'm 53 and loved the breakdancing era. I was so excited with this new dance, hi-fi, zx spectrum, and clubbing it. Best years of my life. I couldn't breakdance as it took a crew, the stereo and the right environment. I had one or two people who knew how to body Pop but nowhere near this level.
I guess my skill was recording and sampling. As I say, i needed the right crew to excel in this. Thank God for the 80's so awesome!! But still, the memories were awesome
Who else loves this song?❤
Yess
I’m a 55 year old female and I listen to this song regularly on Spotify. I remember in high school in the 80’s guys were break dancing at parties and it was mesmerizing.
I'm 55 too and remember. 😎
Entertainment was fire back in the day
where at, . . .I was in LA CA.
@@enriquecortes1948 no internet back then. Movie took place in the Bronx where it started. But L.A. was popin back then too sound was a little different but great i was in Boston mass back then.
@@richlong4119 yes, that's what I meant, . . .WHERE WERE YOU THEN, I seen the movie and know it's from new york, break dancing, (back then), was called New York Style, in Los Angeles that is. Good times. Take Care bro.
I am so proud to have come of age in the 80's.
We danced All night, guys took care for girls without looking for anything else but a good time on the dancefloor.
So many good memories
I'm a 60 year old white guy who grew up with these guys....still listen everyday at work..
400 years from now they’re still going to be rockin this jam on shuttles between earth, mars and the other interstellar exoplanets.

Newcleus - Jam On It - Love this one also... So good...
Melhor de todos
Dat da truth fo sho.rok on
💯 this song is SOOOOOOO far ahead of it's time in some ways...
Had to come watch some real old school breakdancing vs watching the 1st round of Olympics. Young teen of the 80s really was a good time to grow up in
This is my EARLIEST MEMORY OF MUSIC. Got Off the subway with my Grandma and I saw all these boys with a boom box and a cardboard platform they was dancing on. I was like 5 or 6. We were going shopping. I remember she brought me a Star Wars figure that day. I still remember the smell of the Woolworths. Hotdogs and hot pretzels!
This is a heartwarming memory!
Woolworths ❤️ Fond memories.
Omggggg!!!! Dude... I've lived out the same experience on Jamaica Ave near where the now out business "Mays" used to be!!! Me, my lil sister, my Mom and my Aunt Ivy was getting some pizza from the lil hole in the wall joint next door!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Omg! Woolworth 's. My grandmother would buy a bag of hot salted peanuts that sat under a heated lamp. Sometimes we'd have lunch there. It was on Jamaica Ave. in New York. I was so little. I wanna go back too.😔
Life was so much simpler then. Everyone pretty much got along!
Dancing in this video made me so joyful. Knew the words to the songs, too. The moves, the clothes, the hair, the makeup and of course the Chuckies shoes were on point. Too bad the breaking competition at the 2024 Summer Olympics didn’t take notes.
Right???
Created in 73, God gave me the opportunity to experience the 70s. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience thus time. Love it. Music when it meant something. Crazy stuff this decade.🤔💯👍💯👍
Created in 1964 and I feel you❤
I’m 45. Grew up watching my 53 yr old brother and his friends break dance in our yard and do talent shows! The 80’s and 90’s were some great times💜
As a teen in the 80s, this jam increased your sense of cool 1000%. Great jam to eternity.

İi do t know hım ör them sorry Stranger Rum olay essi.nhim to
Give me a wink
Im a 80s baby
The music was so much better back then. I miss those days! I'm 53 and I remember The poplocking duels would be out of this world. The dancers in this video are top notch athletes for real
Everything was genuine love for the art.
Back in my day We fought. But not with guns n knives. We break dance 🕺
They went from recognizing each others talents to the whole world giving them the recognition they deserve!
I love this old skool stuff.... yea and I’m white but the nostalgia of that time... old school hip hop had a lot to do with the way things were.... just happiness and enjoying the music and no one noticed the color of each other’s skin.... we all just JAM ON IT!!!
music doesnt have color my brother! Love and respect from Texas....!!!
Music hard core hip hop fans are white
Facts!
Music is UNIVERSAL bro. NO COLORS. Be free and JAM ON IT!!!!!
Couldn't have said it better myself.. As well it didn't matter size back then either like now days it's either your perfect fat or to skinny.. Never knew words they use no days for terms back in our jam on it day's..
My gawd these guys would have crushed the ‘24 Olympic squads! Please bring this back!!!!!!
I am the old-school,this is the true break dance.🎉🎉🎉
