You people of the 80's were Gods. There will never be anyone cooler or weirder.
.🤔😑.
You better believe it we had the best time.
At 53 years old now I'd go back in a heart beat .
Someone hurry up and invent a time machine 😀
@@davetozer5982 I totally agree, back then we were dreaming about the future, not realizing how perfect & fun our time was.
David Copperfield must have a trick to bring us back, however this trip may erase our actual memories. Still, I would choose to go back to 83, were an hour felt like an hour. Nowadays, an hour feels like 15 minutes.
Even if I missed those days, we're so much lucky to have these real memories.
@@davidgeerling9871 thanks, Literal Larry.
Truth be told though, straight from an 80s kid, the 80s WERE amazing because everything was NEW! Musical genres ,fashion, movies and TV that had never before been done. That was the great part. Unfortunately something else was popular in the 80s and that was bullying and believe me, if you didn't fit in and fall in line you would feel the wrath, and it was no joke. People were mean. It was not like today, when bullying is frowned upon and there is a much greater degree of social acceptance. As an example, I had a couple of friends who were gay and they would literally get stomped on! People would kick the shit out of them on the regular. People used words like faggot and nigger, even in popular teen movies! I'm glad I grew up in the 80s because I got to experience a lot of firsts, but I would not want to do it over. The 90s were way cooler anyway 😎
This video makes me want to cry
Me too. It really reinforces how short life is. They were the best days of my life. It makes me cry tears of nostalgia 😿💙
@@tatianarizktaylor1818 Me too...I miss it so much, wish we could go back
Me too
I miss how people were back then and the world. Look at people and the world today.
Me too!
Awesome thank for posting. My best friend starts at 4:43 - she past at 22 years old😭😭😭 so good to see her dancing again. She was so beautiful. RIP 🙏 Carolyn
Im sorry about your friend. How great for you to be able to see her here!
@@moderneprimitives1510 it was really amazing!!! I watched it back like 50 times. Thank you 💓
@@apricott1907 I'm glad I could make you happy and be able to see your friend again in one of her happiest moments.
Sorry about you best friend!.
Oh dear! 😥 What happened to her if you WANNA tell??? So incredibly sad!!! She would probably be in her mid 50s now, just about my age. Nice u can watch her here at least over and over again.
1. style
2. Charisma
3. Humour
4. Intelligence 🥳
1:31 the woman in the green shirt is my mom
Has she seen the video?
@@j0hnny4rc4de Yes! i just wanted to show her how cool she was and she was like "oh yeah, I remember that night!" and started asking me questions about how I found it
Your mom is very cool.
Your mom served looks back in 1986 man!
Dude that is so cool that is way cool that that's your mom I remember the clubs up here in Orange County and LA to the Olympic in the Cuckoo's Nest and there was some other clubs over in Santa Ana to and others it was fun to go dance now it's scary to go dance I'm older but still that was cool back then those days are gone forever forever
Once upon a time there was people that go to clubs to dance....
Not a single person drinking on the dance floor.
Miss the good old days
1972 boy here
Sounds almost unreal to me ;) - 1986 guy here- but seriously, people just hanging around in clubs to get wasted was (and I assume still is) as normal as it was damn annoying! (and also boring - I soon ceased to see a point in going to these places...)
Some clubs didn't allow it.
@Sol Astus yes, prior to '82 it was 18, and I was referring to literally no drinking on the dance floor because of the mess!
You are right. We didn't drink at all. Even when went to the 21 and over clubs, we still didn't drink. I started drinking at 24, after college. Stress became a bitch.
I still would go just to dance, great dance music back then too! ! turned 21 in 1987
Good times. I miss the 80's. I remember when we were the young generation. Now we're the old generation.
The good old days. Back when everyone went out to have a great night dancing. Def shows here.
White people look so good back then. What happened to you, people? Now you all fat and ugly.
At this time there was still that element of surprise when being recorded on video/camera. The beauty of these people is intensified with the naturally shy and humble reaction to being on camera. Shows humility and joy is soo much more pretty than the "i belong on camera bitchface" you get today ;)
perfect
Excellent observation!!!
I’m in love with the guy at 0:27
For those of you who remember, we had a great time. For everyone else, I wish you’d been there. It was so rad, and totally tubular. Great bands, peak fashion, androgynous look was the rage, women wore zoot suits, men wore crop tops, the makeup and big hair, man it was so much fun
For music, check out The Cars, Gary Numan, Missing Persons, A Flock of Seagulls, Human League, The Tubes, The Fixx, Gary Wright, DEVO, Duran Duran, there are many more but those will get you started
I graduated high school in 1985. My gosh, this video brings back so many great memories of dancing in the teen dance clubs. The music was cool and so we’re the trendy styles and fashions. Oh I miss it.
Simply .... The Best!.
yeah im in this a few times as it seems to be all the footage there is mixed together. I know a lot of people in this and although yes we are pushing 50 most of us aint dead yet and still look pretty awesome . sadly some are gone victims of the times. all n all im pretty proud of these as the look was pretty DIY. a mash up of thrift store/mall shops and home craftiness and loads of dirty looks. from the "norms" to wade through. we made it up as went along and gave zero fucks what people thought. out for a good time. and dance the night away..... im at 16:03 and a couple others and yes im still a freak LOL and proud of it !!!!!!!
That's awesome man, if you're still in touch with some of the people, show them this and hopefully they will comment. :)
I'm so glad you are still a freak! I would love to talk to you sometime about the 80's scene and the others who appear in the video. I danced at the London Victory Club in Tampa and it was just like Stratus. Yes loads of dirty looks!
Who's the chick right after you with the red hair?
@@johnp82 her name is Princess ( her and her brother owned a shop that sold clothes and import records goth & punk type stuff this. club night was their idea. the club itself was called "Stratus" but their club night was called "Club Sanctuary" 80's goth , synth pop ,post punk and a few club hits. but yeah Princess was a sweet heart, back in the day we were really good friends
@@evolasme cool. You remember her last name?
Im 53. I loved ABBA and then KISS in the 70s. I loved 70s disco. I loved the 80s music. And then I loved Techno and Trance throughout the 90s, 2000s. I can comfortably say that the 80s Eurobeat, Italo Disco, NRG, Freestyle and even Pop music was the best.
I would kill to go back in time.
Same
0:53 everytime i see this girl, i hit the roof
This is part of what I love about watching 80's stuff . Flamboyant clothes, outrageous hairstyles and folks that couldn't dance worth a lick !
Miss the 80s, a time were nobody gives a shit about you clothes, your hair, the way you look etc. And the music, best decade ever. Regards and love to all who had the honour and pleasure to live the moment.✌️💖
i miss this liberty. this happyness. just fun. no worries. today we are like robots. now we dress almost the "same way". everyone had it's one style on that time. all this..in my opinion..
I agree with that, I still dress kind of 80s early 90s, but if you pay attention a LOT of that stuff is coming back...
What makes them "gayboys"? The 80s were fairly robotic.
@@j0hnny4rc4de
The Way they move ?
You can tell if someone is gay based on the way "they move", that's some psychic shit right there...
@@j0hnny4rc4de
Logisch ! When I was last at the Gay parade they danced the same ...
Don't be Offended ...
It doesn't bother me ...
Just makes me wonder .., Wer was I , in the 80's ?
sleeping under a Rock ?
We had such good times back then. I was twenty years old and living in L.A., What could go wrong..
Lol,. The night was ours!
Man compared to today, this looks like a Parallel Universe... Cool Dance Moves, Amazing Haistyles, Smoking Cigarettes while dancing in mid of the Dancefloor, Everyone looks damn happy and carefree..
No phones is the reason
We were. We didn’t care about politics, or economy, or much of anything. We had youth on our side, along life ahead, plus the endless imagination and enthusiasm that comes with being latchkey kids. It was so rad
No toxic internet no toxic social media influencers no smartphones glued to the hands and just two genders not two dozen
I have to say coming from London; you Guys took New Romatic Fashion to another level!!!
Girls with zero tattoos , and clubbing was awesome , I’m 58 and still love music even EDM trance and house of this era , music makes one smile . I sure had fun
We still dream it. What a life we had. I get nostalgic watching this.
I'm exactly the same I think it's in the DNA of anyone that was regularly clubbing in the 80's.
@@albertogutierrez9734 THINK IT, DREAM IT, DO IT!
Привет из России!))) Супер музыка, подборка просто изумительная, а как танцуют, какие красивые девушки и молодые ребята, безумная ностальгия, прям хочется снова в 80-е,золотое время было, настроение супер, жили прекрасно, радовались многим, всем тепла, добра, любви!!! Спасибо большое, очень приятно!
4:04 lovely
No cell phones, no social media.Go to the club and actually chat and be authentic.
Yep. 80's my time and decade. Also matriculated 1985. So privileged to have been a teenager in the 80's. In my heart, I still am.❤❤❤❤
0:53 -Wow! she is so beautiful she is the most wanted in all this video reels ...
Is everywhere in youtube with difference songs.
Since finding 80s dance video are pretty difficult (unless anyone wants to send me some or link me to them), I can do more remixes using video clips from 80s/early 90s anime and commercials. Would you guys like something like that?
The world was different, the youth was different..........Millenials and the next generations will have missed out on AMAZING fun times. Not a phone in sight, enough said.
NOT AAA FUCKING PHONE u should have better said....😂😆
ITS CALLED DIVERSITY AND YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT!
I’m from Louisiana and I got to dance in the disco’s of Germany …1988 was the best year of my life…
🇩🇪 gtx !!! Back in the 🇺🇲 2day???
Totally agree with u. '88 has been such a stunnin' yr 4 music.
Everyone is so thin.....
That zebra girl is kinda awesome.
This has good ending vibes
so many people I remember...............
I wish there was a reunion of this, would be fucking amazing
They already do it since "My Space" and continue the reunion since basically many of then were neighbors. I meet with two of them in an 80's forums years ago.
What's done, is Done...
These dancers have become stars now!!
So true.
I need to know who the green hair is! 😅 even thought I wouldn't have been born for another 2 years after this video was made but he is so cute!!!!!
Wish I was old enought to have been dancing with these people
I'd love to see what these people look like today, if anyone on the interwebs was in this video, please make yourself known... :)
They might be in their 60's now
Man thanks for the awesome vid. Makes me back respect x.
That's very true...
They are probably dead.
No some are still alive!
Back then everyone looked different - today everyone looks the SAME
These beutifull souls taught the world how to dance and have a good time.
Notice how no one really cared to be recorded, even though the camcorder had a bright ass light. Also, the quality of this video is damn good considering there was no hd. This must of been a very expensive camera. Nowadays, you point a camera at someone, they freak out, as if they don't want anyone to know who they really are.
Tempi indimenticabili .....non ce ne saranno più come gli anni 80!un decennio unico ....mitico!!a livello di costumi di creatività di musica di tutto!!!
Damals konnte man noch mit dem Schlafanzug in die Disco.
Die Vielfalt an Kleidung, Haarstyle etc.
Einfach nur cool.
Ich vermisse die Zeit.
Discofox nice i like
Heute ist alles nach Schema Gangster und Nutten-Look!
Funny today I kids with the same clothes, hair doo's and listening to our music! You just have to think " yeah I've been there before and it was awesome!!
Wonder how these folks are doing now? Did they eventually grow up and get careers and families? Are some still some holding onto the club life? Are they even still alive
The first track sounds like something that I can hum without knowing the song exists lol such a good track
5:08, Goth chicanas, I'm in heaven!!!!
What's surprising is that they're all 18-19 yr olds but some look older.
Вот это я понимаю - вот это отжиг душевный, без надрыва)))
I miss this time
I'm feeling melancholic. Weird. I would love to say big thank you for this compilation. Love video and music. I'm sad right now in positive way. I miss everything shown in that picture- youth, joy, fun, music, people.
You summed up my feelings perfectly...thank you
I’m very taken by the girl at 8.02 to 8.11 with the white shirt She’s young and beautiful and seems very genuine I hope she’s had a good life and is healthy and happy Isn’t that something we should all wish for each other? Life isn’t easy...I was lucky enough to spend a summer in America in 1987 with two friends We had the time of our lives and the people in the video remind me so much of those days I often wonder where the people we met are now...We were so young and innocent...and so lucky
@@exactsame the feeling this movie triggers is universal and has no borders.
I wish you all the best:)
keep those good memories running
I agree. Whoever lived it and is seeing this, is going to make you feel emotional. Honestly, I am somewhat teary eyed right now. It was beautiful. This is so bittersweet to watch.
@@albertogutierrez9734 I was driving while listening to the cult she sells sanctuary last evening. This track is one of many they are dancing to in original footage:)
And again joy and sadness:) have a good day or night:)
The forecast back then for the lot of us ( class of ‘85) was definitely high in the 80s!
I remember those days fondly, being the lone black student in art school partying w/my majority white peers l learned so much about style tribes , class and social privilege , that proved to be invaluable to my life's education about culture ,race, and dance music
fantastic people, I started watching and I can't stop
обожаю подобные видео,пусть и они без оригинального звука,но все же.
Had to subscribe cause I watched one full video. Reminds me of my youth. Thank you so much
9:44 so sweet!
@@07015678 Oaft?
Yeah, she's pretty, but the girl starting at 4:19, is even more pretty and especially ALSO VERY CUTE !! God Bless :):)
@@TheBlackFrog79 Oaft as in wow - she is beautiful
Just noticed, but what's missing from the dancefloor? DRINKS! Not a single drink in anyone's hand. How refreshing is that to see!
Probably no drinks since most in this video if not all are under 21. '86 is when they changed the drinking laws in most states from 18 and 19 to 21. Except in Louisiana where you could get into clubs at 18 and drink if accompanied by a so called 'guardian' who could buy a drink for you if they were over 21.
It was an under 21 club. No drinks.
@@richardavery4811 Gosh, i'm happy, i'm German in that sort o' way. We don't have those kinda problems nationwide. Even if i didn't need 2 drink, it makes u calm not 2 think about it. Not even beer, we can drink it aged 16. At the age of 18 u could do ev'rything u want. We r adults then, in the US u r an adult by the age of 21, if i'm right??? Or does it depend in which state u live? No drinking, but drivin' a car alone at the age of 16.... I might b wrong in some ways, but i don't care nowadays, caus' i'm not a teen anymore for over 3 decades.
My favourite girl at 9.35 ! Im in 😍
9:35
0:53
09:35 Por lo visto han dejado escapar a un ÁNGEL del cielo...
"it's not perfect, but whatevs" - love it
5:36 When your boss attends the Christmas party.
bless you man
We have an amazing club night like this in Boston. Same music. Samy styles. People of all ages and walks of life. No one cares, we just go to party like it 1986.
This was a lot of fun to watch and listen to while I work. First, you chose the perfect songs; while they're all more recent, they sounded so authentic to that time. Second, I'd seen most of these clips before, but it was cool to notice quite a few that were new to me. Also, how smokin hot was the guy at 26:41? Holy shit, dude. Clark Kent, eat your heart out.
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
Dancing and smoking - now that's cool! If you smoked in a club now you'd get thrown out. That's progress!
smoking was allowed everywhere back then, including airplanes.
banned everywhere now.......
So electric is one of a kind gem 🥰 wish there were similar songs to it
Oh, I can just smell the stale beer,cigarette smoke, and hair products watching this.
It's super Sunday worship here, on a refreshing trip back to the 1980's that's right all dialled in memories from back in the day.. press ▶ play say what ever you want to say 🎧 🎶 (((((😊))))) track 3 and 5 magic ♥ it..
I am in love with a person on 9:35
She’s the same lady from minute 0:53
I love this video and the way they dance. The music is awesome. New wave 💯🍺🙌🏻👌🏻
Yeah, people danced on the dance floor.
Thirty year later people drink beer and ask "how´s work " on the dancefloor.
Oh the 80's, back when we were young and sexy. Now we're just sexy! 😁
Now just OLD ISH not quite over the hill yet though. Wonderful music,such memories of better days . Nov 2020 🙏❤👍👍😎😎👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
And some of are shit out of luck.
Well, at least still young inside !!!!
Jim Carrey
glory days
This is before we became corporate stooges.
Work should be one part of life and not everything..
Dancing a bit pedestrian apart from the guy in white, but it was crowded. This should be mandatory viewing for young people who think their generation invented gender fluidity.
Hold on fellas. Ill be back. I see two i want to dance with at 10:55. And look nobody in here wanting to be a tough guy, and none of the songs are negative and about killing and drug dealing. We were so lucky to club in these times. Mine was 90s, but still the same vibe.
The best playlist on youtube forever!
+ Female innocent dance style
+ Hair
Great music but...this shy girl in red dress min 9.35 to 9.50 any one knows her? 😊😊😊 she was really cute. 33years ago. Damm time is flying. This is great memorial video for those people.
12:00 Hey look who's here! Joker himself!
BILLIE ILLISH IS A JOKE! I went through a lot, boys and girls, despite the economy and Covid, I made it. This era was a defining moment in my life. Despite the hardships, I took it in stride. I am so happy to accomplish so much. Right now, I am dancing🕺 To my my follow New Wavers, Punks, Hip Hoppers, Maimi Sound Machine Types, keep the faith. Be strong and resilient. We made it this far. Get close to your children, friends family, and remember how far you went to get here. Those memories.....oh....those memories......🕺😜💝
I’m reading this lying on the floor next to my 2 years old baby girl’s bed. Reading you watching the video and listening to her falling asleep:)
@@sn4ns4 I have been conversing a lot with my daughter about my experiences and youth. I denied her many of the opportunities to be more free and to explore. We became helicopter parents. I told her, now that she is in college, to be happy, don't allow yourself to be emotionally influenced, and find joy in the difficulties of life. A little suffering makes a better person. Overall, I am blessed to her have her. As a father, she is the most important thing in my life. I am blessed she grew very well. Feel blessed with your little one and may her journey in life is fruitful and all enriching. Many blessings.

No, those 2 at 1:31 really got it!!!
Someone help me find the goth witch red short hair girl profile, at 6:01.
It doesn't even matter if she's 60 years old, I'd just like to tell her that she was beautiful, I've never seen such an imposing face!!! :❤
We should have lived this this time again ! I loved the 90's. But you wish to live that era.
Those 2 at 1:31 are gorgeous !!!!
the girl on the left is gorgeous, does anyone know her name?
@@janekkos7759 The one in green appears to be Erika Eleniak... future Playboy centerfold, "Baywatch", "Under Siege", etc. There's another version of this video clip with different music added. In those comments a former regular at Stratus says the one in green went on to pose in Playboy. This really looks like her.
@@janekkos7759someone said that was her mom
Your Stratus Dance Club videos are regularly posted on /wsg/ - the Worksafe GIF imageboard of 4chan. I would post links here but TH-cam will probably mark my comment as spam. If you Google "Stratus Dance Club" "/wsg/" you will find links to recent threads featuring your wonderful synthwave footage. Many thanks for your efforts and for all the nostalgic pleasure you've given us!
Lovely and nostalgic, I was born around those years though.
I was a little kid in the 80s but the footage and music is very nostalgic for me-I also had babysitters who looked like a lot of the ladies here.Im in my 40s now.
Where was Stratus? I was born in 1970. Lived in San Franisco and was a huge part of the whole club scene in the 80s- 90s. Most of the best dance clubs and moments were in SOMA of SF in the 70s ,80s and 90s. Too many to recount here, but all I can say is I miss those days more than words can say. It hit me right at the perfect age. I was 18 in 1988 and I remember the height of the industrial music and underground club scene in SOMA then and taking full advantage of the all-night and after hours parties at the Stud and the End Up and on and on and on...I would get on the dance floor to a great track like "Headhunter" at 11:00 PM and never stop dancing my friggen a** off until well after 4:00 AM, just a ball of sweat and eyeliner , long blonde hair and a greek fishermans' hat and ripped up fishnet stockings and then we'd walk home, me in my thigh high leather boots and micro mini skirt and bolero jacket ...God I miss those days...
San Diego currently spring valley
Darlin, l see you went through it too...from London with Love ❤
This is a great collection of tracks. Thank you.
Back when dropping some X and drinking orange juice right before going into the Club! Those were some great times.
Zu dem Zeitpunkt der Aufnahmen konnte derjenige nicht wissen,was für ein unwiederbringliches Zeitdokument hier entstand.
War das doch für diejenigen ein wochenunendliches immer wiederkehrendes Erlebnis.
Alle meine Leute seh ich in den Tänzern wieder.
Schön war die Zeit.
Danke für die lebendige Erinnerung.
Die 80er waren eine wunderbare Zeit. Ich wünschte, ich wäre ein bisschen älter, als sie erlebt zu haben. Zum Zeitpunkt dieses Videos war ich wahrscheinlich 8 oder 9 Jahre alt.
Wer hätte damals von uns auch ahnen können, daß man es Jahrzehnte später weltweit im Netz mal sehen könnte.....🙂

Good god, the last/final clip :O
Back in the 80s, in terms of fashion, it was fucking free for all.
These video`s make me so happy Thank you for posting them
The difference between the youngsters then and now is we had a sense of individuality, experienced the pleasure of expressing ourselves, were passionate about our interests and made an attempt to enjoy ourselves . These all seem to be traits lacking within todays youngsters it's as if they can't be bothered.
As someone who was born in '95 I couldn't agree more with you. The social media age of things has made people less and less individualistic. It always pains me and kills me when I see trends being a thing through individuals popular on the internet.
Literally every generation think this about themselves and “the kids of today”.
Good Times, Best sounds for ever !!!!
What’s so cool this video has about 20 different songs that have been copied in to it and they all look good dancing to everyone of them.
