It's normal bro. 50yo man here, and everything about the 80's just make me tear up easily these days... I'm still in shock and heart broken that we lost Tina days ago... 😥
no it's normal! I'm just over 30 haha unfortunately never witnessed the 80s myself .. but I also had tears in my eyes when I watched the video and wished I could have witnessed the 80s haha
@@Xavier-k2p6x It does bring a lump to the throat. It wasn’t perfect back then but the mentality and whole way of thinking was totally different, a totally different world much simpler and less complicated too.
It especially brings tears, especially since today marks my deceased brother's 50th birthday! He had only been 26 years old for only 13 days when he died in 2000! 😊❤🎉
In the 1980s we had so much fun and freedom, yet we dreamed of living with 21st century technology. In the 21st century we have so much technology, yet we dream of the fun and freedom of living in the 1980s.
@@ThaBigP Clown show is right. But I'm actually glad we don't have flying cars because who would want them? They'd be ridiculously expensive, you'd have to get a pilot's license as well as a driver's license, and it would create all new kinds of traffic problems.

WOW thank you so much for compiling this! Hope you or someone else will complete the list soon, I enjoy watching 80's stuff, I think I'm gonna go see everything you just listed now, lol
@@Beastguy0915, fair enoygh.😄As for my part (born 1977), this time despite a kid of mere twelve, this decade defined me. The '90-s was cool too; actually an extension of the ´80-s in many respects. - '80-s light so to speak. Morover the 1980-s lingured througout 1992 culturally.😊
@@friedrichwilhelmwolfgangvo3021, actually you´re right! And that escpecially throughout 1997. With the ninth of September-attacks, the -00's definitey set in and for certain was the beginning of a whole new era...
@@friedrichwilhelmwolfgangvo3021 Yes this happens, alot of the 70s was still rolling on through the 80s, This multi layered culture makes for a great mix👍
As Beautiful as this video is, what makes it even more special is having all of you here, in the comments section, to share it with! We are all there together :)
I'm 45 years old sitting here bawling my eyes out and smiling from ear to ear at the same time. Only those of us who were lucky enough to live through this amazing decade would understand.
I'm 43. I truly believe that life in the western world peaked in the 80's and 90's, in terms of happiness. We had enough technology to stay connected and to experience the world by travel, movies, music and TV - but phones were landlines, social media wasn't invented, outside was safe.. It was a different time. I'm happy I was there!
Well to be fair, it's like my parents who obviously lived through this decade said "Everyone hated living it, but loves reminiscing about it". The 80s had it's fair share of problems, we just overlook them when staring though our rose tinted glasses. I guarantee 20 years from now people will be reminiscing about COVID and the 2020s in general.
@@jamaican_cute_gal3427 2020 was paradise compared to what I'm currently dealing with. But that's ok, soon, suicide and the eternal peace it brings will soon be upon me.
Yeah, it was so full of hopes for the folks of any age and origin... I used to watch all these movies just as they were available on VHS translated. Now I've got Netflix and need no translation, but just don't want to watch anything new, with rare exceptions.
This video brings a tear to my eye 😞 The better days where we didn't have social media, the bane of all existence. No cyber bullying, no Twitter, no tiktok, no "influencers"... Just Good music, good movies and the only people we heard movie reviews from were Siskel & Ebert not some 12 year old who wasn't even born when the movie was released. Yeah bad stuff happened but it all pales in comparison to the modern day. PS No Covid!!! Seriously if anyone has a time machine I would seriously appreciate it!
Seems like we need a time bus or time plane or better yet a time cruise liner to hold all the people who want to travel back to the 80's and live there permanently.
There is zero doubt this was the best decade in human history. Enough technological advances to make life easy and fun. But not enough to cut out the human element. This was the tipping point where we had it set up perfectly. I’m so fortunate to have loved through that decade as a child/teenager. Everyone of these scenes brings back memories that make me feel so warm. Thanks for posting.
Well said....this was before electronic devices took over our lives. I loved growing up in the Wonder Years of the 60's and 70's, but those decades had huge civil unrest, Vietnam, and a terrible recession and gas lines by the end of the 70's. The 80's was just a happier time. The 80's spanned age 24 to 34 for me. Great years. "Time of your life, huh kid?" Yes it was.
We did;nt know how lucky we were going through the 80s But Listening to this i WISH i could go back with this 52 Year old wisdom but be 17 Again driving my Mini 1275GT I bought from my 1st Job. Roxette/Def Leppard/Guns N Roses Tunes were pumping out of my Alpine Cassette Player, RAC Rallye on the weekends MK1/MK2 Escorts Flying Sideways and everyone Getting on and LOVING LIFE.
Nothing will ever come close to this music. I'm 58 and just happy I was alive in the 80s....My wife loved this song. She passed away in 2017...RIP Sue ❤️❤️❤️
2:40 2:42 My condolences. It was the best time of my life also. I sobered up, became a disc jockey and had the best time of my life. I miss those times, the best music. I'm 69 now and I believe there will never be a time like it . I'm so glad we still have our memories.
Just turned 58 so I grew up through the 80's enjoying all the great music. I just bought a 1982 Porsche 911. I call it my time machine back to the 80's. The radio only plays 80's music. Imagine that😊
This was so f*cking depressing. Not because of the 80's, but the realization that today is so freaking horrible. I fondly remember the 80's. The music was so much better than the garbage of today. The TV and movie's were so much better. I feel heartbroken for today's youth.
Theres technology now designed to attack our mental and physical health so med$ are $old and profit$ made .. This tech started in the early 90s thats why the 80s are remembered so fondly. Let this vid get you nostalgic in a good way and heal your soul.
Me too. It makes me sad. The 80's were so great. I had such a great childhood (born in 1975). I feel sad for today's youth living in this garbage hell hole of a world now with the narcissism and woke crap.
I find it hard not to cry when watching this video. I was born in 1981, this reminds me of the wonderful people who helped raise me, how I've never been worthy of their wonderful effort, that I've been so mediocre. I'm so thankful for everything, but I'll never feel like I deserved any of it. Now I'm just a 42 year with a broken down body wishing he hadn't pissed away so much of that wonderful time.
The 80s was the last decade where we still had an innocence about us. Where TV shows still had a moral lesson to teach, where the good guys defeated the bad guys, where there was an energy to everything that most everyone could recognize. I was a young kid during this time and remember learning many lessons just from watching TV, you can't do that today. For anyone that lived through that decade I'm sure you could agree with what I'm saying. In today's world we've lost that innocence and I'm afraid we'll never get it back again. If I had the chance to go back I would without hesitation. Everything just seemed right.
I blame it on technology and social media. Everybody has to show how great their life is or they will feel inadequate. I quit taking social media seriously a while ago. It’s extremely toxic .
I disagree. I think people today are too scared to take chances be a goofballs and act weird. People today are even too scared to just enjoy what's out there without analyzing if it fits there religion or political views. Why do you think Billie Eilish ran off with all the Grammys this year. What she did has roots in the Cure and Punk music and it is interesting and refreshing. Pisses the divas of today off because they are trying so hard to be perfect but Billie and groups from the 80s are allowed to be themselves.
A HUGE Thank You to everyone for your amazing support. There’s a lot of 80s material that was left out because of the limited time this song gave me but I’m currently working on a brand new 80s tribute that won’t miss a thing 😃 It will be wonderful! Stay tuned! Love y’all! 🤘🏻
My Friend you BRIGHTEN UP our day with this You inspire the unfortunate Generation Z This era was the Best and Deserves Monuments to it Have you seen a movie called - Secret of Nimh - that would be awesome for your vnext 80s video it was the Iron Giant of the 1980s and as dark as Return to OZ and The Dark Crystal As Well as the 80s Icon and ulitmate Boys movie - 1987's THE MONSTER SQUAD and on aside note - there is another UNDERRATED film DRENCHED in the 80s It is the 1985 underground Hardly Known yet CLASSIC Film - PINK NIGHTS it is as 80s era as you can get - Better than Risky Business - a teenage boy gets his own harem of willing girlfriends its somehow wholesome and fun at the same time - its INCREDIBLE - if you love the 80s you'll love that Crocodile Dundee Mad Max Secret of NIHM The Monster Squad PINK NIGHTS Heathers Lethal Weapon Alice Cooper's Trash Album Bill and Ted Hellraiser Ozzy Osbourne AC/DC Bowie Heavy Metal and Horror The 80s was THE era
Now in 2023 with 53 on my back..., watching this, definitly the 80's was the perfect moment to be a teenager! Unforggetable! How lucky we were! Thank you for this wonderful video! ❤❤❤
Am 56 y o and only can say NOSTALGIA man..movies,music,kids program,all was better than now..cartoon,Alf exspecialy love,sci-fi movies..Alien,and favorite movies Robocop and The Wraith..both movies have in own colection..
Whoever made this should be awarded an honorary doctorate. Born in 1980, this video makes me sob like a child. It invokes feelings that are hard to put in words. Mainly joy and gratitude, but also feelings of loss, regret and missed opportunities, wounded inner child, a deep longing for someone etc. I'm so glad that I existed in the 80s. Thank you for making this :)
I´m with you as a child of the '1980s.The films, computer games the lot, formed me as a person-and was mere a kid in the '80s (born '77).🙂 Greeting from the Royal capitol of Stockholm, Sweden.
People said the 80s was the decade of Wall Street and "Greed is good". But for me, the 80s was the decade of love and innocence, of endless summers playing in the fields at the back of my house with my friends, of my granny's lentil soup simmering on the hob of the gas cooker, of The Neverending Story and The Dark Crystal, of He-Man and Thundercats... and of not yet being acquainted with grief and loss. I miss the 80s.
Agreed. If you were a young person in the 80's you probably weren't "having whiskey with Boesky and cookies with Milken." You just wanted to be "Breakin."
I know many of us are watching this over and over. How many of you cried while watching this? God it hurts to watch. Time really flies like a Delorian going 88mph.
@@Maria.P.T Although my teenage years were in the 90's I still came close to tearing. Still nice to see the cartoon part of the video. That part definitely hit me.
Born in '71 so growing up in the 80's was a huge part of my life. Riding bikes through the neighborhood with friends, trips to the arcade, and falling in love for the first time. Listening to the radio to try and record that special song (and wishing the DJ would quit talking over it), watching MTV, and not realizing how good we really had it. Those were the 80’s
I was in a near fatal crash in May. Still in the hospital. My mother died a month ago. My best friends died last week. My drummers mom was killed last week in a car crash.... shall I go on?
RIGHT?!? I never particularly got into this song at the time as it was just more of that corporate formulaic sound that music took on in the late 80s. However, this video, combined with the song, has created a magical time machine that takes me back to a much better vanished time.
If you didn't experience the 80s - I feel sorry for you. When Ai takes over, its literally all over. What a decade of creativity. Music, movies, art, fashion. Life. It was good. It was simple. And I miss it....
I lived through it, yes it was fun, but our culture has always been handed to us by people you don't know and never met. Anything organic that they can't control or co-opt is allowed to die. Why do you think Prince had such a hard time with the music companies? He was too big to squash, but they tried.
@@Ozymandias1 and what exactly is better? We had Michael Jackson, Freddy Mercury, non invasive internet (because no internet) no covid, people actually lived, way less sensitive, no issues about who mattered, gender, sexuality, basically all you have is technology and it's taking away the life people used to live
Shortly before adulthood I knew the 80s were the pinnacle of western history, I wasn't around in the 80s unfortunately but anyone witnessing records of it are lucky in respect.
Right in the feels. I wish i was back in the 80s again as a teenager. The world seemed a much simpler place, slower paced and all round better than the social network driven nightmare we live in now. Sigh.
Exactly - I’m in a bit of disbelief and almost feel teary that so much time has passed, yet it’s like I was just watching those videos in my mom’s house - you don’t believe adults when they say “enjoy these years because they won’t last”, until you’re an adult.
I showed my kids this and my son looked over at me and said why do you have a tear? I wish they could’ve experienced this with me. The tear came when Mr Miyagi gave Daniel the congratulations nod
Same here. I saw this and then put it up on TV so my kids could get a glimpse of what we had, 5 seconds in, the tears started. They couldn’t understand why. But we do.
I love the whole thing, but my tear came from Larry and Balki doing the Dance of Joy. That moment always hit me with such happiness. Backed by this fantastic song, it was just perfectly special.
For anyone who grew up in the 80's. Hard to see this and not shed some tears. An incredible time, gone forever. We've advanced in a lot of ways and declined in a lot of ways...
Wish I can give this a 1000 thumbs up. You are so right. Being a tech IT guy, while I do appreciate technology cause I do it for a living, at times I wish it didn't exist. The 80s was perfect in every way, just enough technology to enjoy, but not enough to consume us.
Yes, Shawn. It seems like every decade in the 20th century had a personality. But when we entered the 21st century, everything went to slop! No personality, nothing iconic. Just plain blah! I am so thankful to live in a time when there was great music, movies, fashion, and TV shows. The 80s was the epitome of personality and creativity.
80s was the BEST in many things. Nothing can surpassed the phenomenon of 80s did. It's already a History in many aspects that's why it's ALWAYS remembered and cherished. 😂 ❤️ 80s generation kid.
As a teen from the 80's I have to say once this video began I got chills. I remember ALL of this. Then when I watched it again and began to read the comments that laugh-cry began and I realized we all grew up in the SAME town, on the same street wishing the same thing! And now we wished we were right back there! Here's a hug to all my 80's family! So blessed to have grown up in the 80's. Was the best decade of all time!
"I realized we all grew up in the SAME town, on the same street wishing the same thing! And now we wished we were right back there!" Wow. That was deep what you said there!!!! It's so true.........
How could anyone watch this video- with it's pervasive atmosphere of fun and prosperity -and not think to themselves, "We blew it. The future was ours, and we totally blew it...."
@@BipoIarbear just think I was a part of the 80’s and was a part of 2 wars that I didn’t want to be involved in but still signed up for, it’s crazy how innocence gets lost
We didn't know at the time how good we had it! The music, the dancing, the fun, the laughter and the moments were so very real, good times and good friends! We were looking forward to the dawning of the age of Aquarius with great anticipation! My eyes are misty....
Four minutes and thirty two seconds of pure delight & happiness. I was 4 when the decade began and 13 when it ended. The greatest time a kid could have. If you didn't get to experience it, I'm sorry. For us that did, we know how incredible it was. And we'll never forget.
Dear 80's: I miss you so much. I think about you everyday. Sometimes I hear you on the radio and/or I see you on t.v. Thank you for all of the memories. I will NEVER forget you my friend. Love you. Your friend, Gary
Damn, the 80's were pure magic. I was born in 1975, so I grew up a child of the 80's with Saturday morning cartoons, going to the mall, buying the best toys and watching the best movies. All I want is a time machine to go back to the 80's. No social media, no cellphones. Just you, your friends, your radio and a cassette to push play & record to record your favorite songs.
I am another 1975 baby, completely agree. Walked to school on my own from when I was 5 in 1980. We have what is now a Sunday morning interactive audience games kids show called What Now, it's been going since the 80s and back then it was a Saturday morning cartoons show. These days mothers drive their kids to school in the family peoplemover or SUV, no walking.
@@cameronwaddel4072 Yes! I was walking to school when I was 5 yrs old too! That was a fun part of growing up! Walking home with your friends was so much fun. But you’re right, no one walks to school anymore.
Same here. I realize how fortunate I was to be a kid growing up in the 80's. I feel bad that my kids can't experience that same joy now, too much has dramatically changed in the world. It's moving too fast now and kids aren't having true childhoods. It's very sad.
I’m a Proud Gen X. 80s is the era when USA was a champion of world peace, unity, love, fun, music and charity. Wish the 80s spirit comes back in today’s troubled times.
I think this comment section is the most harmonious and united I've ever seen on TH-cam. Only 80's nostalgia can do that. Take a bow ladies and gents..👏🏾👍🏾
Preach! We knew how to have a good time without all the fuss, and we lived in the moment and not just standing there taking pictures/selfies... Anyway let me get off my soap box.
In the entire history of the human race, the 80s were the greatest time to be alive. Hands down!.. No exceptions!! Don't be sad that it's over.. be happy that you were there to experience it.
I can't be the only one who gets choked up every time I see John Candy's smile from the end of "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles." He was like Gen X's uncle. I still miss him.
Totally agree. Id say 81-1999 was peak for sure. 90s were quite amazing as well but the 80s had everything.. i miss the humanity, families were actually united and people had very high values and morals.
Born in the mid 60's I got to experience the 80's in my early 20's. Great times. We had technology but not social media and no political correctness shoved down our throats to try to make our lives miserable. The 80's was a great time.
Showed this to my Mom who was an 80s teen. She just cried and it wasn't a bad cry. It was crying tears of joy. She loved this. I do to and I was born 2003.
Hey, my mom born in the '50s (I in the '70s), really liked this video too!! :-) Dispite she was a teen in the '60s and the '70s thus experienced a preeeetty cool era, she still claims that the there will never be a decade like that of the 1980 when it comes to fashion, that merry innocent attitude of that era not least its music and thouse legendary pioneering video/computer games.... This was in deed just before the Western civilisation began to fall apart; increasing unnecessary wars (like the Vietnam War wasn´t enough?!), political correcteness, wokeism and all that deluided nonsence emerged.
@@17461771 80's? I fell in love, married, raised a family and the 'soundtrack' to this video is one of my favorite "love songs". THERE WAS NO INTERNET! Life had a much better pace.
The 80s were great for me. Graduated high school in 81. Graduated college in 85. Married in 85, and both of my children were born in the late 80s. Wow, what a decade and I’m grateful to have lived through it. Still married to the same person too!
I watched this for the first time and it brings me back to my 35 years in law enforcement,,,I would come home 2 3 4 5 6 7 am, kiss my wife while she was sleeping, telling her I was ok and made it home,,check on my kids...then sit and breath I made it home,,,would turn on these videos, and thank these people how it was soooo calming, putting a smile on my face and how they would help me decompress...
I'll go halves on a time machine.. If i could go back to 80s and stay there i would give pretty much everything. No internet, no twitter, no snowflakes, no mobile phones etc. Also nobody wanted to be another gender every 20 minutes and if they did they couldn't go on about it all day long. I miss the 80s with a passion.
Right. I was 12 in 1980. I work for an urgent care now and we give a 10% discount for people who pay instead of get billed. Those with a $22 copay end up paying $19.80 and I say (depending on age) "Let's go back to 1980" , every time people say "yes, let's go back" or something like that. Every single time, which speaks volumes to how we live now (not counting 2020).
Claireanne Johnson I was born in 1957 and so I was hardly a teen in the 1980s but I have to agree with you - what an amazing decade for music it definitely was and I am so eternally grateful and thankful that I was there to enjoy it. And enjoy it I did. And, like you, oh how I wish we could turn back time............straight back to the 1980s..... Keep enjoying!!!
Jan 01, 1980, I was 1 week old. Dec 31, 1989, I was 10 years old. Don't remember much of the early 80's, but vivid memories of the mid and late 80's. Best decade ever!
Jan 01, 1980, I was 1 year old (2 on April) Dec 31,1989, I was 11 years old Wish I was a teenager during the 80's, but I can't complain about my childhood. It was simply magical! 😊❤️
I don't think there are too many people who were alive back then who wouldn't want to return to those times. The world wasn't perfect but there was hope and joy and not this absolute mess we are in today.
I think it's more than nostalgia --- people truly were happier back then and hopeful about the future --- you don't see any of that with the current generation of kids --- they all seem depressed and angry all the time and it's really bumming me out
@kerzytibok3211 Most of the music today is either serious or dark. If there are 5 kids at a bus stop, none of them are talking to each other. If you go to the mall, you could get shot-that happens at the mall near me at least twice a year! It's a different world. I blame the far left, the far right, and parents that don't care to know their children.
I graduated from high school in 1979 so the 80s was when I entered into becoming an adult. As always in hindsight the 80s truly was a great decade. There were lots of one hit wonder songs that now we call classics. Great movies that we still watch and celebrate their anniversaries. And the new medium of watching music videos on MTV was the thing to do. We went to the malls just to hang out and see our friends. We bought records, wrote letters...by hand, used the phone as a phone, and we had real genuine friends. It seems like the 80s was the last great decade. My God!! Where did we make that wrong turn??
I too graduated high school in 1979 and thought the 80’s were the best decade to be alive...so care free ,no worries in the world. I still find myself thinking about those great times
قبل عشرة أعوام او اكثر كنت اشاهد هذا الفيديو وها أنا ذا بعد هذه الفترة اعاود المرة لاشاهده مرة أخرى يا لهذه الايام كم تمر سريعا بحلوها ومرها وأحداثها . ثمضي بنا الايام وتترك توقيعها جليا واضحا على قلوبنا
So glad to have lived thru the 80s, easily best decade ever. Gen x has the best style, best music, best vibe. Wouldn’t trade what I experienced for anyone else’s time.
Well those of us Boomers would say, sure, you Xers had a nice decade, but we also got the 80s after the 60s and 70s music...to me, there is no comparison between what was going on in rock music from the mid-to late 60s through the 70s, until disco raised it's ugly head...Everything that came in the 80s was built upon the 60s and 70s base, not to mention Chuck Berry. But we're all biased!
The best thing I loved growing up in the 80s was all my music musicians and all the movie actors from the 80s to the 90s those were my best times growing up I do miss the 80s alot because I was born in the 80s I was born 1/2/ 1981 February 😁🤘✌👍
In some ways...the 80s havnt ended yet. Still driving vehicles from the 80s and even earlier. Listen to music and watching movies from the 80s every week. Celebrating birthdays of kids all born in the 80s every year. The 80s will probably never leave me..
At 64, this is a bittersweet homage to watch. I have to say that I feel lucky to have lived through 4 incredible decades, each with their pluses and minuses.I was a child in the 60's, teenager in the 70's, young adult (20's) in the 80's, and 30's in the 90's. To me the last "free" decade was the 90's.
Got out of the Marines in 1980, so I enjoyed ever second of it. For the future people in 2080 watching this, there will NEVER be another 80s like the 1980s. Eat your heart out.🎉🎉❤😂 from 2023!
As a German - my sincere thank's for your service. It seems that back then we all knew who our friends where - and who was the enemy. Sadly the world today is more fucked up than ever - and even the music kind of shows that. All the best you and to all of us that trust in democracy@@rockhopper01
I turned 21 in the summer of 1980. I got to spend my 20's enjoying this decade. What a great time I had. The music, movies, etc. and yes Reagan, it was a magical decade in my life. I'll always cherish the 80's. YT, thanks for the memories.
I turned 10 in the summer of 1980. Despite not having the "state-of-the-art" luxuries (i.e. internet/social media/tik tok, Amazon, and Uber/Doordash/Postmates/Grubhub), to quote the hit song from, "Dirty Dancing," I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE! In my opinion, the '80s, WERE, and ALWAYS WILL BE, CIVILIZATION'S "CROWNING ERA" or the PINNACLE OF CIVILIZATION!
So many great Movies, Music, TV Shows, Emotions, Simplicity, Joy and lots lots more. My opinion this is The Golden Decade. Sad, but I had no happiness to experience it :/
Is it normal for a 51-year old man who doesn’t cry that often to have tears in his eyes after watching this? Asking for a friend.
not at all! I cry every time bro - you got a friend right here
It's normal bro. 50yo man here, and everything about the 80's just make me tear up easily these days...
I'm still in shock and heart broken that we lost Tina days ago... 😥
this video and song gives a glimpse of the feelings you had or should have had before, for your sake.
It means you are still a human being.
I’m not crying man, I’m FREAKIN balling my eyes out! Good Lord time just flies by…80’s will ALWAYS RULE!
no it's normal! I'm just over 30 haha unfortunately never witnessed the 80s myself .. but I also had tears in my eyes when I watched the video and wished I could have witnessed the 80s haha
This hits way way harder when you are older.
Wish I could go back in time and relive the 80s one more time.
*I can't be the only one. Who's with me ?*
I think you got a few MILLIONS more with you bro... Every single one of us😎
@@Dmiller7239 sad Delorean has been destroyed
Always and forever, my friend! Always a part of the 80s Army!
I'm with you I wish I could
Nah, no interest in suffering through Tschernobyl again, thanks
Man, 51 years old here. Always end up teary eyes watching this...for the 100th time! God, i miss the 80s...🥲
Me too🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
I'm 51 too -
back at you:)
Me too brother..
(1973). I was a freshman when this song came out. My PE couch always has the radio on and this song was always playing.
When you watch these videos and get heaviness and a lump in your throat...it just means you were awesome in the 80s and lived it the fullest.
@@Xavier-k2p6x It does bring a lump to the throat. It wasn’t perfect back then but the mentality and whole way of thinking was totally different, a totally different world much simpler and less complicated too.
It especially brings tears, especially since today marks my deceased brother's 50th birthday! He had only been 26 years old for only 13 days when he died in 2000! 😊❤🎉
Yes sir!
In the 1980s we had so much fun and freedom, yet we dreamed of living with 21st century technology. In the 21st century we have so much technology, yet we dream of the fun and freedom of living in the 1980s.
Yes.....Yes indeed
We need to file a class action lawsuit. We were promised flying cars and instead we got a clown show.
@@ThaBigP Clown show is right. But I'm actually glad we don't have flying cars because who would want them? They'd be ridiculously expensive, you'd have to get a pilot's license as well as a driver's license, and it would create all new kinds of traffic problems.

As Beautiful as this video is, what makes it even more special is having all of you here, in the comments section, to share it with! We are all there together :)

Agreed.
I'm 45 years old sitting here bawling my eyes out and smiling from ear to ear at the same time. Only those of us who were lucky enough to live through this amazing decade would understand.
Agreed!
I'm 43. I truly believe that life in the western world peaked in the 80's and 90's, in terms of happiness. We had enough technology to stay connected and to experience the world by travel, movies, music and TV - but phones were landlines, social media wasn't invented, outside was safe.. It was a different time. I'm happy I was there!
Well to be fair, it's like my parents who obviously lived through this decade said "Everyone hated living it, but loves reminiscing about it".
The 80s had it's fair share of problems, we just overlook them when staring though our rose tinted glasses. I guarantee 20 years from now people will be reminiscing about COVID and the 2020s in general.
@@jamaican_cute_gal3427 2020 was paradise compared to what I'm currently dealing with. But that's ok, soon, suicide and the eternal peace it brings will soon be upon me.
Yeah, it was so full of hopes for the folks of any age and origin... I used to watch all these movies just as they were available on VHS translated. Now I've got Netflix and need no translation, but just don't want to watch anything new, with rare exceptions.

What a time it was, to be alive!
The 80s will never die!
47 here and back watching it again...and again...and probably again soon
I’m crying inside
I'm in my 40s and I cried. 80s baby here. The nostalgia hit me hard. 😢💔❤️
Wait till 66 ... then you'll cry.
I'm 44...i know how u feel Brother.Greetings from Germany 😌🤙🇩🇪
This video brings a tear to my eye 😞
The better days where we didn't have social media, the bane of all existence. No cyber bullying, no Twitter, no tiktok, no "influencers"... Just Good music, good movies and the only people we heard movie reviews from were Siskel & Ebert not some 12 year old who wasn't even born when the movie was released. Yeah bad stuff happened but it all pales in comparison to the modern day. PS No Covid!!! Seriously if anyone has a time machine I would seriously appreciate it!
I'll see what i can do, Dude! Be Excellent To Each Other!
The nostalgia in this was off the charts. I got emotional on the inside.
No liberals trying to ruin everyone's fun, no overly-sensitive babies, no looming threat of communism/socialism
Seems like we need a time bus or time plane or better yet a time cruise liner to hold all the people who want to travel back to the 80's and live there permanently.
Born 77', Stockholm, I miss the the 1980-ies more than ever.
There is zero doubt this was the best decade in human history. Enough technological advances to make life easy and fun. But not enough to cut out the human element. This was the tipping point where we had it set up perfectly. I’m so fortunate to have loved through that decade as a child/teenager. Everyone of these scenes brings back memories that make me feel so warm. Thanks for posting.
Well said....this was before electronic devices took over our lives. I loved growing up in the Wonder Years of the 60's and 70's, but those decades had huge civil unrest, Vietnam, and a terrible recession and gas lines by the end of the 70's. The 80's was just a happier time. The 80's spanned age 24 to 34 for me. Great years. "Time of your life, huh kid?" Yes it was.
Amen 🙏🏼🤛🏼
Exactly right. The 90's brought about technology that attacks our mental and physical health daily ..
ABSOLUTELY!! ❤️❤️🤗🤗❤️❤️
I turned 20 in 87, most definitely the best decade of my life. I'd really love to relive it all over again. Best of times!
As a former 80s kid, I can't watch without crying. Every. Single. Time.
Neither can I, PEACE &♥️♥️♥️
Same here, such happier times
@@crazyralph6386 with you.
Same here. It's like I'm 10 years old again the entire 4:33 and I don't want it to end.
I think it speaks volumes that EVERY person who was a teen or young adult in the 80's wishes we could go back and STAY THERE ♥
We did;nt know how lucky we were going through the 80s But Listening to this i WISH i could go back with this 52 Year old wisdom but be 17 Again driving my Mini 1275GT I bought from my 1st Job. Roxette/Def Leppard/Guns N Roses Tunes were pumping out of my Alpine Cassette Player, RAC Rallye on the weekends MK1/MK2 Escorts Flying Sideways and everyone Getting on and LOVING LIFE.
Nothing will ever come close to this music. I'm 58 and just happy I was alive in the 80s....My wife loved this song. She passed away in 2017...RIP Sue ❤️❤️❤️
My condolences for your loss
❤❤❤
So sorry about your loss. The 80s was an incredible time. I truly wish we could all go back.
2:40 2:42 My condolences. It was the best time of my life also. I sobered up, became a disc jockey and had the best time of my life. I miss those times, the best music. I'm 69 now and I believe there will never be a time like it . I'm so glad we still have our memories.
Sorry for your loss ❤❤
Turned 10 in 1980, graduated in 1988!! Thank you God for that most wonderful time!!
I was born in 1980 and Graduated in 1998 😊
I'm a 1970 baby, too! 80s... Best time to be a teen... ever.
Same here and my kids just don't understand...
born 12/12/1969 graduated in 1988 also 1980's was a great time
I was born in 1980 but from 83 I remember everything as it was best years of my life dudes
I don't think we appreciated how free we were in the 80's. An amazing decade.
Well said, my friend! A decade we were so lucky to be a part of!
Only now, when we are living in the end times and evil going rampant in this world dictatorship do we really appreciate freedom
Factssssss
How true.
Free baby
Those of us who experienced the 80's as kids/teens, really had no idea how lucky we were at the time.....
Just turned 58 so I grew up through the 80's enjoying all the great music. I just bought a 1982 Porsche 911. I call it my time machine back to the 80's. The radio only plays 80's music. Imagine that😊
NICE!
My love on wheels in my younger days was the 1985 Alfa Romeo GTV 2.5V6. Giugaro design and - that sound... Busso forever ♥♥♥
😂😂😂 Awesome!
'80 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't get this:
I watch this video with a smile on my face but a tear in my eye...
You are not the only one..
Same man
@@channarodrigo6683 it's beautiful but it's also sad. crazy this
@@MrSora3737 it's beautiful but it's also sad. crazy this
me too... damn
This was so f*cking depressing.
Not because of the 80's, but the realization that today is so freaking horrible.
I fondly remember the 80's. The music was so much better than the garbage of today.
The TV and movie's were so much better.
I feel heartbroken for today's youth.
I think that the thing about the 80s was it was a time of innocence AND fun (and not just for kids, but for adults). Whatta golden era.
I agree
Theres technology now designed to attack our mental and physical health so med$ are $old and profit$ made ..
This tech started in the early 90s thats why the 80s are remembered so fondly. Let this vid get you nostalgic in a
good way and heal your soul.
Me too. It makes me sad. The 80's were so great. I had such a great childhood (born in 1975). I feel sad for today's youth living in this garbage hell hole of a world now with the narcissism and woke crap.
I find it hard not to cry when watching this video. I was born in 1981, this reminds me of the wonderful people who helped raise me, how I've never been worthy of their wonderful effort, that I've been so mediocre. I'm so thankful for everything, but I'll never feel like I deserved any of it. Now I'm just a 42 year with a broken down body wishing he hadn't pissed away so much of that wonderful time.
The 80s was the last decade where we still had an innocence about us. Where TV shows still had a moral lesson to teach, where the good guys defeated the bad guys, where there was an energy to everything that most everyone could recognize. I was a young kid during this time and remember learning many lessons just from watching TV, you can't do that today. For anyone that lived through that decade I'm sure you could agree with what I'm saying. In today's world we've lost that innocence and I'm afraid we'll never get it back again. If I had the chance to go back I would without hesitation. Everything just seemed right.
Wise Words, my Friend! Everything now is about "Me, Me, Me" Not Us as a society...
I blame it on technology and social media. Everybody has to show how great their life is or they will feel inadequate. I quit taking social media seriously a while ago. It’s extremely toxic .
I disagree. I think people today are too scared to take chances be a goofballs and act weird. People today are even too scared to just enjoy what's out there without analyzing if it fits there religion or political views. Why do you think Billie Eilish ran off with all the Grammys this year. What she did has roots in the Cure and Punk music and it is interesting and refreshing. Pisses the divas of today off because they are trying so hard to be perfect but Billie and groups from the 80s are allowed to be themselves.
@@Poway19 this and nothing else.
Most people feel that way about whenever they were a kid
A HUGE Thank You to everyone for your amazing support. There’s a lot of 80s material that was left out because of the limited time this song gave me but I’m currently working on a brand new 80s tribute that won’t miss a thing 😃 It will be wonderful!
Stay tuned! Love y’all! 🤘🏻
My Friend you BRIGHTEN UP our day with this
You inspire the unfortunate Generation Z
This era was the Best and Deserves Monuments to it
Have you seen a movie called - Secret of Nimh - that would be awesome for your vnext 80s video
it was the Iron Giant of the 1980s and as dark as Return to OZ and The Dark Crystal
As Well as the 80s Icon and ulitmate Boys movie - 1987's THE MONSTER SQUAD
and on aside note - there is another UNDERRATED film DRENCHED in the 80s
It is the 1985 underground Hardly Known yet CLASSIC Film - PINK NIGHTS
it is as 80s era as you can get - Better than Risky Business - a teenage boy gets his own harem of willing girlfriends its somehow wholesome and fun at the same time - its INCREDIBLE - if you love the 80s you'll love that
Crocodile Dundee
Mad Max
Secret of NIHM
The Monster Squad
PINK NIGHTS
Heathers

Cannot wait sir. Thank you. 🙌👍
Thanks so much for this back in time in a few minutes, amazing, whole my teenager years in this video.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was only 1 clip of Aliens and a bunch of Ghostbusters. Boo.
This is so great...thank you so much. A good injection of 80s joy... desperately needed now.
Now in 2023 with 53 on my back..., watching this, definitly the 80's was the perfect moment to be a teenager! Unforggetable! How lucky we were!
Thank you for this wonderful video! ❤❤❤

@@kerzytibok3211 absolutly true..they say,,oh then..diferent time,,yes but artist was much diferent from now..
Whoever made this should be awarded an honorary doctorate. Born in 1980, this video makes me sob like a child. It invokes feelings that are hard to put in words. Mainly joy and gratitude, but also feelings of loss, regret and missed opportunities, wounded inner child, a deep longing for someone etc. I'm so glad that I existed in the 80s. Thank you for making this :)
This was so cleverly crafted. The Michael J Fox moment with the guitar is epic!
It sure is :)
don't cry,live man.
@@orangefacedbuddah1776 You're right LOL :D
I've watched this probably 100 times and it still puts a smile on my face. Every single time.
I have it saved to my watch later because I miss this time so much!
I wonder what was I lost and I let myself go from myself.
I´m with you as a child of the '1980s.The films, computer games the lot, formed me as a person-and was mere a kid in the '80s (born '77).🙂 Greeting from the Royal capitol of Stockholm, Sweden.
Same here! ❤
100 times? Get a grip man.
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" - Dr. Suess

What an irony Leighton, now Dr. Seuss is the one who is being cancelled in America.
well that comment brought a tear to my eye
I'm crying because it happened. Nostalgia hurts sometimes.
@@KristineMarieTxSPI it does hit hard
People said the 80s was the decade of Wall Street and "Greed is good". But for me, the 80s was the decade of love and innocence, of endless summers playing in the fields at the back of my house with my friends, of my granny's lentil soup simmering on the hob of the gas cooker, of The Neverending Story and The Dark Crystal, of He-Man and Thundercats... and of not yet being acquainted with grief and loss.
I miss the 80s.
@Richard Christopher AGREED!!
well said
Agreed. If you were a young person in the 80's you probably weren't "having whiskey with Boesky and cookies with Milken." You just wanted to be "Breakin."
awesome!! miss it!
Thank God you have those memories.... Folks born after 2000 will ever know!
I don’t care how old we get there will never be a decade better than the 80’s the music is and always will be the greatest
Yes sir!
Congrats to everyone who has spent their time during the 80s. Best decade ever, no doubt!
Thank You like totally!
Totally agree.
The very best time.✨💫
Omigod, fer sure!
I got emotional right there... I miss the 80s! Best times was back then.
It goes back to the saying "you don't know what you have until it's gone"
they paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
Cinderella......a great 80's song.
Tom Kiefer, Cinderella. Another awesome 80s band.
@ T C, Joni was so right.
Who wishes this video would never end? Share this with a friend who'll appreciate it.
I'm 47 years old and I never get tired of watching movies and music from the 80s ❤❤❤
I know many of us are watching this over and over. How many of you cried while watching this? God it hurts to watch. Time really flies like a Delorian going 88mph.
Me.
Or a 1996 Ferrari Diablo. We're on the tippity top of the mountain but only half way up think about it.
I did and proud 🙄❤️
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cried. Really teared me up. If only I had a time machine...
@@Maria.P.T Although my teenage years were in the 90's I still came close to tearing. Still nice to see the cartoon part of the video. That part definitely hit me.
Speaking as an 80s kid, we are NOT unfortunate enough to see our legends die. We're lucky enough to have seen them live.
Well said!!!
When I compare this to woke bs it just shows how much US has deteriorated culturaly
True ❤
Perspective. Agreed. 😄
both. and we wish them the best Eternity, wherever their Souls may rest.
God...every time I watch this, I smile ear-to-ear and tear up a bit.
Every. Damn. Time.
Absolutely 🙌
Same. Just turned 50. Its hard not to let nostalgia get to you esp. when these are not really good times today.
I almost teared up. I totally understand. What a time.
I legit watch this video when I'm feeling down and it brings me right back up. It hits me right in the feels.
same
Born in '71 so growing up in the 80's was a huge part of my life. Riding bikes through the neighborhood with friends, trips to the arcade, and falling in love for the first time. Listening to the radio to try and record that special song (and wishing the DJ would quit talking over it), watching MTV, and not realizing how good we really had it. Those were the 80’s
😂😂😂 " the DJ quit talking over" so true!
I'm going to watch this over and over again and pretend 2020 isn't happening.
Ditto!!!
I was in a near fatal crash in May. Still in the hospital. My mother died a month ago. My best friends died last week. My drummers mom was killed last week in a car crash.... shall I go on?
best idea..back to when I was kid
I do that all the time, I pretend that I'm in the 80s.
RIGHT?!? I never particularly got into this song at the time as it was just more of that corporate formulaic sound that music took on in the late 80s. However, this video, combined with the song, has created a magical time machine that takes me back to a much better vanished time.
If you didn't experience the 80s - I feel sorry for you. When Ai takes over, its literally all over. What a decade of creativity. Music, movies, art, fashion. Life. It was good. It was simple. And I miss it....
David Hasselhoff said on a panel at TwichCon 2019 in Berlin: "If you can remember the 80s, you didn't live in the 80s." lol
I lived through it, yes it was fun, but our culture has always been handed to us by people you don't know and never met. Anything organic that they can't control or co-opt is allowed to die. Why do you think Prince had such a hard time with the music companies? He was too big to squash, but they tried.
Sad fact about Ai 😢
Totally agree!!!!
Totally agree
If you weren't alive during the 80's you will never understand, quite possibly the best time in human history
Hah, back in the 80s older people said that about the 60s.
@@Ozymandias1 and what exactly is better? We had Michael Jackson, Freddy Mercury, non invasive internet (because no internet) no covid, people actually lived, way less sensitive, no issues about who mattered, gender, sexuality, basically all you have is technology and it's taking away the life people used to live
The best time of my life!
Shortly before adulthood I knew the 80s were the pinnacle of western history, I wasn't around in the 80s unfortunately but anyone witnessing records of it are lucky in respect.
No doubt about that
Right in the feels. I wish i was back in the 80s again as a teenager. The world seemed a much simpler place, slower paced and all round better than the social network driven nightmare we live in now. Sigh.
This is my life flashing before my eyes growing up in the 80s
metrostarful same here.
I know right, same for me😂
The 80's was the best.I wish I had a time machine.
Exactly - I’m in a bit of disbelief and almost feel teary that so much time has passed, yet it’s like I was just watching those videos in my mom’s house - you don’t believe adults when they say “enjoy these years because they won’t last”, until you’re an adult.
Same here... it’s kind of bittersweet.
I showed my kids this and my son looked over at me and said why do you have a tear? I wish they could’ve experienced this with me. The tear came when Mr Miyagi gave Daniel the congratulations nod
We experienced with you ❤️ we are all here, knowing how you feel 😍
Same here. I saw this and then put it up on TV so my kids could get a glimpse of what we had, 5 seconds in, the tears started. They couldn’t understand why. But we do.
I love the whole thing, but my tear came from Larry and Balki doing the Dance of Joy. That moment always hit me with such happiness. Backed by this fantastic song, it was just perfectly special.
That's why I was thinking when I just saw Mr. Miyagi.
@@allisonjohnson6399 me too. I absolutely love the theme song of the sitcom
The only problem with this montage is that once it’s over you realise that you have to return to the present 😢
Not really. Just hit or "point and click" the "re-play" button ; ).
i really am amazed that we can still enjoy those back memories,when we had real MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT, keep up the good work.
Brings tears to my eyes everytime. If your kids ever ask you, "What were the 80s like?" Just play this for them.
The best decade of all time….❤❤
At that time, we did not realize how lucky we were to be teenagers in the 80’s…
The 80’s what a decade!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I make $250K a year now, but was a poor immigrant kid living in government housing during the 80's and I wish I could go back.

❤❤muitas, saudades 🥺
So true. If only we realized how lucky we were back then!
I was lucky to have been born in that era
For anyone who grew up in the 80's. Hard to see this and not shed some tears.
An incredible time, gone forever. We've advanced in a lot of ways and declined in a lot of ways...
Yes sir....100%
@@JessCorey it not gone gone forever it lives in our hearts forever! 80's !!!
Wish I can give this a 1000 thumbs up. You are so right. Being a tech IT guy, while I do appreciate technology cause I do it for a living, at times I wish it didn't exist. The 80s was perfect in every way, just enough technology to enjoy, but not enough to consume us.
Yes, Shawn. It seems like every decade in the 20th century had a personality.
But when we entered the 21st century, everything went to slop! No personality, nothing iconic. Just plain blah!
I am so thankful to live in a time when there was great music, movies, fashion, and TV shows. The 80s was the epitome of personality and creativity.
80s was the BEST in many things. Nothing can surpassed the phenomenon of 80s did. It's already a History in many aspects that's why it's ALWAYS remembered and cherished. 😂 ❤️ 80s generation kid.

As a teen from the 80's I have to say once this video began I got chills. I remember ALL of this. Then when I watched it again and began to read the comments that laugh-cry began and I realized we all grew up in the SAME town, on the same street wishing the same thing! And now we wished we were right back there! Here's a hug to all my 80's family! So blessed to have grown up in the 80's. Was the best decade of all time!
Oof. This comment got me right in my heart light...
well said Bearded, very well said.......
Couldn't agree more
Yeah the music was just awesome,
"I realized we all grew up in the SAME town, on the same street wishing the same thing! And now we wished we were right back there!" Wow. That was deep what you said there!!!! It's so true.........
How could anyone watch this video- with it's pervasive atmosphere of fun and prosperity -and not think to themselves, "We blew it. The future was ours, and we totally blew it...."
Everyone blows it , just try to remember u where there, apart from the wars we fought which influentialy theres not a comparison...this was it

for memories
Four minutes and thirty two seconds of pure delight & happiness. I was 4 when the decade began and 13 when it ended. The greatest time a kid could have. If you didn't get to experience it, I'm sorry. For us that did, we know how incredible it was. And we'll never forget.
Same here my brother!

About the same age...born in 77!!!
I turned 11 in 1980, man it was the best, riding my bike everywhere all day everyday was one of my fondest memories

Damn, the 80's were pure magic. I was born in 1975, so I grew up a child of the 80's with Saturday morning cartoons, going to the mall, buying the best toys and watching the best movies. All I want is a time machine to go back to the 80's. No social media, no cellphones. Just you, your friends, your radio and a cassette to push play & record to record your favorite songs.
No locking doors, outside playing till dark, Sega Genesis, Nintendo, Atari and only caring about who are what you were going to be doing the next day.
@Billy Tresco yesssssssss
I am another 1975 baby, completely agree. Walked to school on my own from when I was 5 in 1980. We have what is now a Sunday morning interactive audience games kids show called What Now, it's been going since the 80s and back then it was a Saturday morning cartoons show. These days mothers drive their kids to school in the family peoplemover or SUV, no walking.
@@cameronwaddel4072 Yes! I was walking to school when I was 5 yrs old too! That was a fun part of growing up! Walking home with your friends was so much fun. But you’re right, no one walks to school anymore.
Same here. I realize how fortunate I was to be a kid growing up in the 80's. I feel bad that my kids can't experience that same joy now, too much has dramatically changed in the world. It's moving too fast now and kids aren't having true childhoods. It's very sad.
Almost 57 now and I'm very grateful to have experienced, enjoyed and lived the best decades of my life.
That's a tautology.

Right. 👍

What if it didn't have to be ten consecutive years?
Time machine anybody. O wait TH-cam is our Morden Day Time Machine.

This video has me more emotional than basically anything on the internet. Kills me every time... And I adore it.
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
I can't be the only one who gets choked up every time I see John Candy's smile from the end of "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles." He was like Gen X's uncle. I still miss him.
Right there with you mate :)
You're not alone on that. Miss John Candy.
Me too, I liked his movies. I watched this movie with my dad thousands of times... He's not with me anymore and that scene hit me really hard.
That scene gets me every time as well
Yes. I choke up with John Candy’s smile too. Also scene with Mr Miyagi proudly smiling after Danileson beats Johnny get me every time.

Totally agree. Id say 81-1999 was peak for sure. 90s were quite amazing as well but the 80s had everything.. i miss the humanity, families were actually united and people had very high values and morals.
Born in 1970, I was an 80's teen and got to experience the greatest decade. The 21st Century has been a real disappointment to date.
Born in the mid 60's I got to experience the 80's in my early 20's. Great times. We had technology but not social media and no political correctness shoved down our throats to try to make our lives miserable. The 80's was a great time.
April 3rd 1970 baby yay!
Technology and Trump ruined the 21st century --- back in the 80's we had Reagan and good times and good music --- it's all we needed
@@fredwerza3478 No, the left and the media ruined it with political correctness and identity politics.
Born in 1971, graduated HS in 1989 - can’t be more a child of the 80’’s than me!
I miss the 80's so much that it's painful. Grown man here in tears.
Same.
Yep.
With ya!
You're never alone same here kiddo.
It's okay man, we all are. :'(
Showed this to my Mom who was an 80s teen. She just cried and it wasn't a bad cry. It was crying tears of joy. She loved this. I do to and I was born 2003.
Hey, my mom born in the '50s (I in the '70s), really liked this video too!! :-) Dispite she was a teen in the '60s and the '70s thus experienced a preeeetty cool era, she still claims that the there will never be a decade like that of the 1980 when it comes to fashion, that merry innocent attitude of that era not least its music and thouse legendary pioneering video/computer games.... This was in deed just before the Western civilisation began to fall apart; increasing unnecessary wars (like the Vietnam War wasn´t enough?!), political correcteness, wokeism and all that deluided nonsence emerged.
@@17461771 Yeah I must be the only Gen Z that doesn't like this woke society
@@Airland_combatNo…you’re not. There are others. I only wish you could all have experienced what we did. It was fantastic. 😊
@@17461771 80's? I fell in love, married, raised a family and the 'soundtrack' to this video is one of my favorite "love songs". THERE WAS NO INTERNET! Life had a much better pace.
@@Airland_combatyou are a rare breed!
Great selection of best 80's moments. I really love Bangle's Susanna turn of eyes in Walk like an Egyptian!
The 80s were great for me. Graduated high school in 81. Graduated college in 85. Married in 85, and both of my children were born in the late 80s. Wow, what a decade and I’m grateful to have lived through it. Still married to the same person too!
For anyone who was between the ages of 18 and 33 during the 80's, we all know it was the best time to be alive.
I was born in 81 and I even know it. 😍
Preferred the 70's. The 80's were marked with what would progressively be taken away from us. It was a joyful and sad time as it progressed.
Unforgetable!!😪
ummmmm yeah, i could agree with that!
I was 17 in 1980 and 27 in 1990. Great decade to be a young adult.
I legit cried. I was born in 1981 and these were absolutely the best years of my life.
It was a great time to be a kid, wasn't it??
Tears from both my eyes every time I watch it.. If anyone asks us to describe your childhood.. This is the video..
How much did you remember?
@@dreamawake2670 I remember some of 1984, but have clear memories of 1985 and onwards.
@@dreamawake2670 One of my earliest memories is of seeing E.T. in the theater.
I watched this for the first time and it brings me back to my 35 years in law enforcement,,,I would come home 2 3 4 5 6 7 am, kiss my wife while she was sleeping, telling her I was ok and made it home,,check on my kids...then sit and breath I made it home,,,would turn on these videos, and thank these people how it was soooo calming, putting a smile on my face and how they would help me decompress...
I'm 51 now. I guess you know how this video makes me feel. I'm just happy I was there when the 80's happened.
YES!!!!
For four minutes and 32 seconds I was living my best 20-something life. What a great trip!
This comment hits right in the ♥️
Same here cant stop watching I wanna go back to when love meant something
Just lie!
On my 7th play through....
Llllĺ
So glad I lived the 80’s, best time ever to live your teen years, so sorry I cant turn back time
I often reminisce of that time. I was ten when decade started and 19 when it ended. What I'd give to go back to that.
If only we all had delorean's. I know where I'd be heading back to.
I'll go halves on a time machine.. If i could go back to 80s and stay there i would give pretty much everything.
No internet, no twitter, no snowflakes, no mobile phones etc. Also nobody wanted to be another gender every 20 minutes and if they did they couldn't go on about it all day long. I miss the 80s with a passion.
Right. I was 12 in 1980. I work for an urgent care now and we give a 10% discount for people who pay instead of get billed. Those with a $22 copay end up paying $19.80 and I say (depending on age) "Let's go back to 1980" , every time people say "yes, let's go back" or something like that. Every single time, which speaks volumes to how we live now (not counting 2020).
Claireanne Johnson I was born in 1957 and so I was hardly a teen in the 1980s but I have to agree with you - what an amazing decade for music it definitely was and I am so eternally grateful and thankful that I was there to enjoy it. And enjoy it I did. And, like you, oh how I wish we could turn back time............straight back to the 1980s..... Keep enjoying!!!
This tribute is like the soundtrack to my life, I mean like every clip is a memory
Jan 01, 1980, I was 7 years old
Dec 31, 1989, i was 17 years old.
I'm so thankful for being a kid at that time.
Thank you 1980's.
Yep it was wonderful spending my teen years in the 80s.
Jan 01, 1980, I was 9 years old.
Dec 31, 1989, I was 19 years old.
Right there with you, pal
ME TOO!!! I was born June 24 1973 👍🏻
Jan 01, 1980, I was 1 week old.
Dec 31, 1989, I was 10 years old.
Don't remember much of the early 80's, but vivid memories of the mid and late 80's.
Best decade ever!
Jan 01, 1980, I was 1 year old (2 on April)
Dec 31,1989, I was 11 years old
Wish I was a teenager during the 80's, but I can't complain about my childhood. It was simply magical! 😊❤️
I don't think there are too many people who were alive back then who wouldn't want to return to those times. The world wasn't perfect but there was hope and joy and not this absolute mess we are in today.
I don't even recognize this world! How did all of this mess happen!
I think it's more than nostalgia --- people truly were happier back then and hopeful about the future --- you don't see any of that with the current generation of kids --- they all seem depressed and angry all the time and it's really bumming me out
@kerzytibok3211 Most of the music today is either serious or dark. If there are 5 kids at a bus stop, none of them are talking to each other. If you go to the mall, you could get shot-that happens at the mall near me at least twice a year! It's a different world. I blame the far left, the far right, and parents that don't care to know their children.
I’d go back in a heartbeat. Times for me weren’t easy back then, but I at least was able to dream! ❤
@@geekworthy7938 Indoctrination into Marxist philosophy in schools. That’s exactly how we’ve ended up here.
I graduated from high school in 1979 so the 80s was when I entered into becoming an adult. As always in hindsight the 80s truly was a great decade. There were lots of one hit wonder songs that now we call classics. Great movies that we still watch and celebrate their anniversaries. And the new medium of watching music videos on MTV was the thing to do. We went to the malls just to hang out and see our friends. We bought records, wrote letters...by hand, used the phone as a phone, and we had real genuine friends. It seems like the 80s was the last great decade. My God!! Where did we make that wrong turn??
I too graduated high school in 1979 and thought the 80’s were the best decade to be alive...so care free ,no worries in the world.
I still find myself thinking about those great times
the best years of my life were in the 80's btw, Class of '79 here too ;)
Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Lasse Riise feel sorry for ya, the party really did end.
Dude, you made me cry... :'o(
قبل عشرة أعوام او اكثر كنت اشاهد هذا الفيديو وها أنا ذا بعد هذه الفترة اعاود المرة لاشاهده مرة أخرى
يا لهذه الايام كم تمر سريعا بحلوها ومرها وأحداثها .
ثمضي بنا الايام وتترك توقيعها جليا واضحا على قلوبنا
So glad to have lived thru the 80s, easily best decade ever. Gen x has the best style, best music, best vibe. Wouldn’t trade what I experienced for anyone else’s time.
Well those of us Boomers would say, sure, you Xers had a nice decade, but we also got the 80s after the 60s and 70s music...to me, there is no comparison between what was going on in rock music from the mid-to late 60s through the 70s, until disco raised it's ugly head...Everything that came in the 80s was built upon the 60s and 70s base, not to mention Chuck Berry. But we're all biased!
Well, we Millenials had the 90's and 2000's, great decades too
and the public identifies us to be the coolest parents on the block!
OMG, I would give anything to go back to the 80's and start over..... I wish the 80's never ended...
So f*** true
Me too mate 😉👍
The best thing I loved growing up in the 80s was all my music musicians and all the movie actors from the 80s to the 90s those were my best times growing up I do miss the 80s alot because I was born in the 80s I was born 1/2/ 1981 February 😁🤘✌👍
In some ways...the 80s havnt ended yet. Still driving vehicles from the 80s and even earlier. Listen to music and watching movies from the 80s every week. Celebrating birthdays of kids all born in the 80s every year. The 80s will probably never leave me..
i was 7 in 1980... great years.. best years...
the entire video, some people might smile, some people might cry for whatever reason, im on the teary side with joy remembering how good 80 was
Me too
Reagan 1984
Same here 🥲
At 64, this is a bittersweet homage to watch. I have to say that I feel lucky to have lived through 4 incredible decades, each with their pluses and minuses.I was a child in the 60's, teenager in the 70's, young adult (20's) in the 80's, and 30's in the 90's. To me the last "free" decade was the 90's.
NO-ONE from the 80s can dislike this.
Definitely agree. Puts tears to my eyes
Got out of the Marines in 1980, so I enjoyed ever second of it. For the future people in 2080 watching this, there will NEVER be another 80s like the 1980s. Eat your heart out.🎉🎉❤😂 from 2023!
Semper Fi! And I joined the Marines at the other end, 1989 just weeks after graduating high school. A wonderful time to be alive.
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service! I agree, whole heartedly! The 1980’s had it going on!
As a German - my sincere thank's for your service. It seems that back then we all knew who our friends where - and who was the enemy. Sadly the world today is more fucked up than ever - and even the music kind of shows that. All the best you and to all of us that trust in democracy@@rockhopper01
My late brother got out of Marines also 1980 he served two years JFK carrier Mediterranean fleet. Station Norfolk, Semper Fi.
Being a teenager in the 80s, this almost brought me to tears. A great era for Music and Movies.
The best!
Don’t forget entertainment too
I know, it is like everything they put out was golden. 90s too.
I can imagine even though I was born in 1989.
I’m 58; This made me think of all those we lost since these memories. Stars and friends & family. Life is short, go live & Love everyone, everyday.
Who is here for the thousand time?
Me! It’s in my mix list I listen to almost every night
Me!
I am reliving the eighties all over again this is a good video good job.
My daily happiness video for the past month!
With a tot of whiskey this is good stuff ....
I turned 21 in the summer of 1980. I got to spend my 20's enjoying this decade. What a great time I had. The music, movies, etc. and yes Reagan, it was a magical decade in my life. I'll always cherish the 80's. YT, thanks for the memories.
I turned 10 in the summer of 1980. Despite not having the "state-of-the-art" luxuries (i.e. internet/social media/tik tok, Amazon, and Uber/Doordash/Postmates/Grubhub), to quote the hit song from, "Dirty Dancing," I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE! In my opinion, the '80s, WERE, and ALWAYS WILL BE, CIVILIZATION'S "CROWNING ERA" or the PINNACLE OF CIVILIZATION!
I was born in december 1980 Lol.....A magnificent decade in my child life!!
So many great Movies, Music, TV Shows, Emotions, Simplicity, Joy and lots lots more. My opinion this is The Golden Decade. Sad, but I had no happiness to experience it :/
The 80s will never be matched
