The 1980s is certainly remembered for its abundance of pop culture, but it was also a time that still allowed a kid to be a kid. This is why the decade is so fondly remembered by those who experienced it. Not to mention, there was an avalanche of consumerism that left a trove of rad stuff cluttering houses. So, let’s take a look back, and if you grew up in the 1980s, you may remember this!

Am I the only one that cried when I see these. Life was so simple back then.
Life was simpler and yet fundamentally more FUN and fulfilling.
I'm the same when it came to the music from the 80s (different channel) I was at work and didn't realize how it was going to effect me. I cleaned up before the next customer came in.
@@KentKaliber just no Smartphones, the problems are the same, drugs, domestic violence, accidents, sickness, wars and double standards, back then peoples cry about heavy Metal but nowadays every sh*t got recordet by surveilance and Smartphones and goes viral into the www
I graduated in 1982. It’s hard for me to believe I’m now retired and 60 years old . I got to experience things that will never happen again. I sum my life up now with one word . THANKFUL .
Amen! Same here born in '64. The 80s were the best decade EVER!
@tekman196 I am also 60 and a 1982 graduate from Moore, Oklahoma. We lived during the very best times. I am thankful also for the times I lived through.
It's hard to believe it sure went by fast . Entering the fourth quarter my friend.
Born in 1968 and definitely thankful!
I graduated in '81 and feel much the same way.
I think the 80's were the last decade when kids could still be kids.
That’s funny. I grew up in the eighties, and I remember all the “grumpy old people” saying “I think the 50’s were the last decade when kids could still be kids”
I agree!
The 80's were the best. The 90's were still pretty fun for kids. But WOW after the year 2000, it all went downhill.
I raised my kids in the mid 90’s and they still got to be kids at that time. It was after every kid had phones that it changed. Imo
@@gustavsorensen9301 Well, in the 90s into the early mid 2000s up until the internet age kids don’t go outside but, sad and, unfortunately are outside world is not safe for a kid of any age no more, our outside world isn’t even safe for us adults! 17:20
Seems like yesterday but was 40 years ago can’t believe it
lol out of nowhere, words like “vintage” and “classic” started becoming associated with an era that felt like yesterday. Yes it took me a while to get used to that one too!
Seems like yesterday that my wife died in 2021.
I'm so glad I was born in 1972...memory's that I will carry forever!
Born in 1973 right here.
1971
1971 for me
‘74 here. About to put on some White Lion for my morning coffee.
Memories.
Best decade ever, wish I could go back to those days.
Best decade because it was the one you grew up in.
@@williamwilson6499thus, best decade...
That was truly the best decade to be a kid. I miss it so much.
I'm 59 I remember the 80's really well and all of the tv shows, movies,
music, food, candy, soft drinks, comic books, video games, old tape cassette players, pro wrestling magazines, so much more, etc and
Thanks for the Memories.🇺🇲🎆📺📻🎆🇺🇲
Betsy Russell! Phoebe Cates! Jennifer Jason Leigh! 😊
WWF !!! "Oh Yeaaaaah" by the Macho Man Randy Savage, wooooo!
I loved the 80’s! I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s. I married in 1978 and had my daughter in 1980. I loved the 80’s music and style. Both my hubby and I had good jobs. The economy where we lived was great. I had fun buying my daughter clothes and toys. I remember buying a Cabbage Patch doll, Alf stuffed toy, annual Barbie holiday doll, many Barbies and Barbie clothes.
@@footballlvnlady I used to have tons of Barbies and accessories.
Our favorite question to ask people in traffic in the '80s was, "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"
Ahaaahaaa! We did the same, or we would ask, "Are those Bugle Boy jeans you're wearing?" We also made signs saying "Yeessss" or "NOT" and hold them up..this was right around the time of Wayne's World coming out, lol. I lived in a small town, so driving around was one of the few things to do. 😅
I’m going to have to retire my oft said line “Mikey likes it” because people are starting not to know what it means and wonder why I’m calling someone Mikey. 🥲
I spent most of the 80's wishing it was the 60's, but even still, I'd do it over again in a heartbeat.
you remember the 60's as a kid
for most, it was the most turbulent time in america...up till now
@@thewkovacs316 The most turbulent time in America was the '60s. The 1860's with the Civil War.
@MrOnyxRaven I believe the implication was a lot of the civil rights unrest of the latter part of the 1960’s. Yes, very turbulent times then.
@brentwebster6341 I kinda think there was a lot more "unrest" over "civil rights" in the first half of the 1860's.
I was born during Nixon and grew up in the 80's. Looking back now it seems like a whole different world, and I miss it more and more every day.
The world has always had its problems regardless of era, but it just seems like the glow that life once had to offer, went away quickly after the turn of the century/2000’s
@@angeldesigns1385I agree. After 9/11 it seems the world just went to crap. Air safety changed forever and the 2010s housing crisis ruined finances and then Covid finished it all. The last 25 yrs of misery in a nutshell 😢
@@sonhuynh8222 Isn't it funny that back in the 80s we all wondered what life would be like in the year 2000 and beyond. Now that it is here, it kind of sucks.
That's for sure.
@@angeldesigns1385 in the 80s there was way more violence in USA than today and since the 90s the numbers of crimes like murdercases are going lower
Always enjoy remembering anything 80’s on Recollection Road!!
Thank you! I graduated in 1983 and was going to marry Martha Quinn! lol
The 80’s will forever be the best decade ever!
I miss it for sure.
Great memories!
We were so lucky to have John Hughes movies when we were teenagers in the 80s. Lucky lucky lucky.
I just bought weird science a couple of weeks ago. That completed my John Hughs collection.
I still love Home Alone
I was born in 1971 and I absolutely loved the 80’s! I just wish there was a way to fully explain it to the ones who came after
71’ baby here ✌🏽
I graduated in 1992… I was 17. The 80s were simply the best time to be a kid.
Class of 90’ here. I’m with u 💯
I also graduated in 1992 and was 17!
Me too. Let’s go back!
1991 for me!!!!!! You're not kidding!!!!!!!
I was in my 20’s the whole 80’s decade, but as a 62 year old, I believe as great as the 60’s, 70’s and 90’s were in my time, the 80’s was definitely something extra special and cool to have experienced in real time . Actress and comedian Margret Cho described the 80’s perfectly in a stand up routine , saying “ the 80’s was an Oh Mickey You’re So Fine time “ , and she was right, something about the pop culture , a combination of the attitude , the clothes, the hair, the music, the movies, the entertainment , and consumer products made everything cool, classy and fun, for kids, teens, young and old. It was a very special time that I feel so blessed to have been young and experience. It was a decade that I didn’t want to end, and I’ll never forget 1980 to 1989.
Muppet Babies! Loved that cartoon
ya me and my sister loved to watch that show.
Thank you for taking us down memory lane. Nothing will ever compare to the 80’s! It was a great time!!!!!
I love going down memory lane with these videos!!!
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, The Cars, Asia, Van Halen, Pat Benatar, Hair Metal Bands, New Wave, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Toto, Rick Springfield, Loverboy, and many more!
ASIA is touring the USA- eastern half so far. 1st concert was last night.
I just saw Bret Micheals in concert yesterday and I was a teenager all over again 😂
The Smurfs ,Care bears, Strawberry shortcake and the Shirt Tails were my favorite. I remember my mom getting a Cabbage patch and I had dozens of strawberry Shortcake dolls.
Me too! Loved it all! Miss it so much! ❤
In my early 20s in the 80s. What a time to be alive❤️
When I eat cereal it's still the sugary kind!😁
I've been eating a lot of Honeycomb cereal lately. 😊
I grew up in the ’50’s and ‘60’s, so I ignored all of this. It all seems dreadful to me, but we identify with the things we grew up with, so 80’s kids are digging this, I’m sure. You could still grow up a normal kid in the 1980’s. I feel for today’s youth.
The Smurfs were my favorite Saturday morning Cartoon. I had a Cabbage patch kid and a Rubix cube and Super Maro Brothers was the crap. I miss the days of video arcades and Reading all those book series and Garbage pail kids. I remember a bunch of us neighborhood kids outside riding bikes. Middle school was awesome. I remember all this stuff. I loved the Mall and the music was amazing. The Atari is my earliest memory of home video games. This really takes me back to being a kid of the 80's. I used to love skating. I grew up in the 80's and 90's. I had a Teddy Ruxpin. It makes me sad to see the way this world is today.
Dang, your likes and life was my likes and life lol. The only thing different but maybe not, is I loved Strawberry Shortcake as a little girl, I still remember the Christmas of 100% Shortcake stuff :)
I loved the mall. In my hometown the mall is still thriving! There was a fountain in the middle and a Chelsea's pub. You could smell the fountain and good food! Miss it so much!❤
@@mandilynn47 Our Mall is gone now. Its set to be Demolished.😔
@annmarie1569 😪😪. That's so sad! So many memories. Even Hastings records and tapes. I worked there. Makes me wish for those days again!
I was born in 83, So most of my memories of the 80s come from the late 80s of 87 -89. Some of the best memories I have of those days were the family going to Drive-in movie theaters.
ya I remember watching ET at the drive in theatre. My dad let us crawl up on the roof of our Van and watch from there. I had no idea that those great times would not last forever.
Hello my childhood. Nice to see you again 🥹
Id give anything to wake up saturday morning again, excited for cartoons, cereal, and whatever the day held outside with my friends. I miss my mom too, she was great.
@@marcussmith4913 me too. I think back to those days when I just thought my mom would be here forever.
Was in my teens and twenties during this era and miss it greatly.
Blockbuster has become synonymous with video rental, but let's not forget you could rent videos from convenience stores, grocery stores and some other choices.
Blockbuster had the best selection but the worst deals and late fees. I rented from ma/pa places.
That's right! I grew up in a small town, so there were some small local video stores. I forgot you could rent from the grocery store too! 😊
Lots of awesome inventions in the '80s
You just made me feel young again. 😊
I really feel blessed that I was born when I was. I was a kid through the 80's (best cartoons, movies, music, etc.). Teen in the 90's (music, freedom, etc.). Great times.
Those were the days. What a great time! I miss them terribly.
Good times.. I’d go back in a heartbeat…. World was such a better time…..
I was 5 when the 80's hit and I think it was great age because the 80's was truly a decade where a kid could be a kid, this video brought back those great childhood memories.
I remember the 80's fondly. I was a teenager then and to this day I think it was the best time ever
as a kid in the 80's. boy, how I mis going to the record store and buying a 45 record or album/and then couldn't wait to get home and play it on the RECORD PLAYER. remember those. LOL...like Archie and Edith said. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
I've said before and I'll say it again: The 1980s will forever be the GOAT.
70s and 80s 👍
💯🤘🏻
Dunkin Donuts eventually stopped making their donuts in-store in favor of standardization in factories...and you could taste the difference...not in a good way.
I loved Blockbuster, MTV,John Hughes movies,
The Wonder Years, Growing Pains,Family Ties,
ALF,E.T.,Orange Julius, roller rinks,Scooby Do
and SO much more! Oh,the 80's memories📼
No other decade will ever come close. If given a chance i would go back in a heartbeat. Im truly sorry for all thoes who missed out!
I'm not a conspiracy nut or anything, but I've been observing and listening to everything and everybody since I was a toddler. AND I paid attention to it all.
The 80's were the pinnacle of our current society in the USA. Everything has gone downhill starting in the late 80s and early 90s....and shows no signs of stopping.
Because they want to know each thing about us. But they'll never, trust us. But what they get on us is used against us if needed. You! what I mean.
Ahhhh... being the absolute 1st generation of MTV.
Btw, I believe they came out with an updated version of the Oregon Trail a few years ago.
I couldn't believe that I had never realized before that Michael Vale, the "Time to make the donuts" guy, (Fred the baker) was also the Breakstone's guy, Sam Breakstone. "Not thick enough."
My wife and still say "time to make the donuts " when getting up in the morning. Love the memories.
We couldn’t afford Cabbage Patch Kids but my grandmother handmade 3 “adoption dolls” for me… 2 girls and a boy, anatomically correct. I cherished them. I named them Christy and then Mindy and Phillip (from Guiding Light)! ❤❤❤
I had a homemade cabbage patch doll as well! Made by a lady from our church for my birthday. ❤ Later I got an actual cabbage patch doll from my Grandma. But I loved them both.
@@jenniferhansen3622 awww nice 😊
You didn't want to name one Reva? :)
@@jwb52z9 🤣🤣🤣 at my age back then, I was more into the Beth, Mindy, Phillip and Rick stories. But I love me some Reva and Josh 👍💕
I loved the 90 minute glorious CBS syndication of The Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show with all uncensored cartoons. I accepted no phone calls, no work, nor interruptions during this show. Chuck Jones was a genius with fantastic master cartoonists, Merry Melodies orchestra music, and wickedly funny satire. And yes, MTV did play music with televised live epic world level shows. Lastly, concerts of all kinds were played all year long in nearly every town let alone huge city in America at an average of about $20 tickets. I treasure all my wasted money that I earned buying tons of albums and concert tickets.
i spoke to Chuck Jones one day on the phone. He needed a business phone installed in his semi circular house in Orange County CA,. NIce man. He asked me " do you know who I am?" boy did i. Then i saw a documentary that he had a rough childhood. I went to a store in Costa Mesa that had his drawings and told the rep there( who never met him) what a nice person he was.
Those Bugs Bunny and Road Runner cartoons was better than anything Disney ever made then and now.
It was wonderful to graduate HS in 1982 and be in my 2os in the 1980s too. Not too much technology to make life stressful or messed up - but just enough technology to make life more exciting and better. I enjoy my life today very much - but i definitely look back at the 80s with MUCH warmth and fondness. I feel so lucky to have grown up when I did. Things seem so much harder today for younger people. ☮️💟
Can’t get enough of remembering the 80s 😃
I remember Smurfs colorforms and the Strawberry Shortcake dolls that had the scent of fruit that corresponded with each of the dolls. We only played Oregan Trail in school since we didn't have a computer at home. Only the rich kids did. 😂 My very first Cabbage Patch Kid was a boy. And his name was George Bailey. I thought that was so cool because I loved (still love) "It's a Wonderful Life."
Garbage Patch Kids were the bomb! Lol
Ya Oregon trail man.... by the time you made it to the first river half your people where dead. You def where out of food and supplies. With little or no way to continue. I wonder if anyone ever made it to the end of the trail?
@@marcussmith4913 I have yet to know anyone who has. It was definitely fixed so as to not let anyone to ever make it to the end. No winners. No survivors. Lol
I was born in 1971. I remember the 80s it was awesome and I miss K-MART and I grew up watching the VON ERICS wrestle and yes MTV was good at one time but not anymore
Jellies wasn't comfortable for long.
Everyone talks about the Oregon Trail, but no one ever mentions Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.
Or that one game you had to pick a type of fish, make the right choices or die 🐟
I remember playing that game too. 😊
I was born in '73 and can laugh at all these memories, and think how lucky I was to have experienced those wonderful inventions. I am looking back and those days were simpler times. I sometimes miss those days but not the issues I had with school and my family.
I had that exact Rubik's Cube book. My brother and I one Sat night figured it out. He read the book, I manned the Cube. Took us awhile but we figured it out.
Do you remember the pyramid version called Pyramix? I eventually solved that one...but couldn't solve the Cube without the book.😂😂
@@muzerhythm2242 Yes. A friend had it. I never owned one nor tried to solve it.
@@muzerhythm2242That Pyramid was so easy to solve. Two moves enough times and it would go back right. I also remember the snake you could turn into a ball.
I like the adventures of Leisure Suit Larry as a computer game
I was a young adult in the 80's, but that didn't stop me from partaking in many pursuits like going to the arcade, renting videos from Blockbuster & even getting Garbage Pail Kids stickers for my younger brother. 😁
Wait, how can you mention "Garbage Pail Kids", and NOT "Wacky Packs" ?! They bring back so many memories: trading them in class, sticking them on our brown paper bag covered school books, not being able to WAIT to open the next new pack...
From about 1986-Dec 31 1989. Commodore 64 & Nintendo dominated over Atari, I still own my C64.
#1 selling computer in history. I spent so many hours playing games on it, the Atari was over once we had one of those. Then BBS's where you could get free games. Those were the days
Loved Commodor!😊 I had the Vic 20, 64, and the 128. Loved creating basic graphics...using commands Peek (start commands), and Poke (End command). Thought I was going to be a programmer....but didn't have the patience!😂😂
My 1st born was in 1972, 2nd in 1980, 3rd in 1984, and 4th in 1988. I remember them playing with some of these things.
Wild to think about how differently I view that iconic Cosby Show photo today compared to back in the 80s. "America's Dad". Frightening.
I loved Bookit! Lol. 😂
Still have my walkman and tons of the calif raisins.
Even though I was born in 1983, I actually experienced a lot of stuff in this video, and what a time it was!!!
Sat morning cartoons got over right at noon !
So many great memories
I loved going to school in the 1980's when teachers actually TAUGHT instead of pushing agendas.
...and never disobeyed what a teacher told me to do.
Thank you for this video and for the many great memories. I remember everything. Growing up in the 80s as a kid was THE best time ever!! Well except the new kids on the block uggh! Anyone else miss this awesome decade like i do??
I was born in '78. I miss the '80s 😢😢. That was probably my favorite decade. It was a much simpler time, no social media , we actually played outside. If I could go back in time I would tell my younger self to just enjoy your childhood responsibility will be waiting soon enough. We had cool toys cool kid shows. Definitely good times.
1971..killer memories
I'm definitely grateful to have experienced a lot of great things in the 80s. Todays generation just couldn't comprehend what is like back in those days.
Ryan White's death was rough for a lot of us who were growing up in the 80s to middle 90s. Some of us who were realizing our sexuality around the time of his death, and a bit after, even though Ryan was a hemophiliac, experienced it on another level. Before they figured out how to fight it, knowing you might grow up and die from sex was terrifying.
I remember most of the thin you were shown us.
The Arcade was my favorite!
Thanks for this video!
Best decade ever big hair neon colors good movies and music
These videos make me cry but in a good way
You need to do an 80's BMX video. BMX was absolutely our life from about 79-86.
What a time to be alive!
my mom never bought the sugary cereal but on the weekends waking up to the smell of bacon cooking and knowing we didnt have school and we were in charge of the TV in the morning for cartoons was priceless.
I worked for Mattel in 1980
My dad’s buddy was a designer for Mattel in the 1970’s.
Thank you !
I grew up in a rural area where we couldn't get cable, therefore I didn't grow up with MTV. As a less than ideal alternative, I was still able to watch music videos on Friday Night Videos. It came on at 2:00 am, so I had to make sure I didn't fall asleep!!
Elvira still has it !!!!
We had a Sony Betamax recorder /player. That thing weighed at least 35 pounds. I used to have to lift the thing when mom cleaned under it.
I lived through much of the things showed here from working in retail. What was a hit and what wasn’t, what was good quality and what was garbage.
Teddy Ruxpin was probably the cheapest made toy out there as most of them were returned within a short time. 80’s movies don’t compare to any other decade.
And stick shift cars were a common thing,too.
Don't forget Miami Vice. Awesome show
This channel is ADDICTING!
Thanks for sharing 🇺🇸
i'm eating a big bowl of sugary cereal as i watch this video. love the 80's.
I had a good friend, Steve "Dr. Death" Williams professional wrestler but I knew him before his wrestling career. Sadly he passed away in 2006 from throat cancer.
I was a SkiBall champion! 😂😂
I could go on forever, but I won’t. Best movies, best “worst” music, alligators and chinos and soccer before minivans and orange slices…
God i feel like I am back in the 80s after watching this video because I remember everything shown within the video. The Saturday morning cartoons and the cereal with Scooby Doo and the TMNT being my favorite cartoons. The A Team and the Dukes of Hazard being some of my favorite prime time shows among so many others. As for the hair banda Def Leppard and Motley Crue, poison being my favorites. But I remember when GNR came along and that all changed and they are still my favorite from the eighties. I remember it all like it was yesterday and I miss those simpler times.
Best decade ever
I was born around 85 86 I remember all of this especially my Kabooms cereal
I really love this channel and I enjoyed this particular video as it was during the time when my children were growing up. The one thing I see missing and this would pertain more to adults than children are the evening soap operas that were on TV during that time. That would include Dallas, Dynasty, Falcon Crest, Flamingo Road and maybe some others. They were quite popular in the 80s even though I think Dallas began in the late 70s.
Great video! 👍😀
DUNKIN DONUTS finally came back to Springfield Missouri in the last couple of years.
Thank you.
Still eating Cap'n Crunch and Cocoa Puffs, on days when I don't have Bran Flakes...😄
i grew up in the 80's. i was into he-man & the transformers. i use to buy the garbage pail kids. & play on the Atari 2600. only if knew back then the toy's i use to play with would be worth a lot of money. i would have saved them all.
Haha I grew up in the late 80s and I didn't become a WWF fan till undertaker came in the scene and he was the one I rooted for but yup I remember most of these and I had a walkman and read baby sitter club books and did book it as well I won a lot of pizzas and I loved Alf..I miss being a kid
