- A Number of things that we consider normal today would NOT BE ACCEPTABLE in the 1980s. Some things we do today have changed since the 1970s and 1980s and anyone from that period might consider that these Things Have NOT Aged Well and EVEN Socially Unacceptable. Here are ONLY 8 Things Today that Would NOT Be Acceptable in the 70s and 80s.
Lord, I totally accidentally deleted another one I wanted to add....parents going to interviews with their kids to help get their kid a job. That would not fly in the 70s and 80s, for sure. Well, enjoy these and add other modern things we do that never would have made sense, and even be SOCIALLY UNACCEPTABLE during the Gen Xperience.
I am pretty sure that still isn't acceptable today. I don't think that ever goes over very well.
They are starting to do it...but GOD lets hope it doesn't catch on.
I didn't realise thats a thing today? If i was employing someone and they turned up with their parents, the pen wouldn't be used much.
@@dannyseville2543 My wife, who manages the aquatics programs at two city rec. centers, has to deal with that all the time. They have to hire lifeguards constantly and most applicants are in HS or college. Not only does she have to deal with the parents when they interview she has to deal with them if they get fired for any reason, too. Then there are the ones who get upset when their kid doesn't pass a lifeguard training class and come down to b!tch about it even though their kid couldn't swim worth a crap or pass the CPR tests, much less the written one. They are trying to be lifeguards, which means they are guarding people's lives. You can't just let them slide so they can get a cool summer job where they get to check out all the cute boys or girls in their swimsuits.
Allowing children to scream and carry on in public places, and the parents just ignoring it it insane to me! I would have NEVER gotten away with that as a kid.
NO way. You and me both. And it shouldn't be acceptable NOW.
I think we spent more time together as families growing up. Watching your videos on the Olympics and the space shuttle made me realize everyone watched that stuff together.
First, I really appreciate you watching the Olympic and Space Shuttle shows. Those are the big hit videos....but I don't care. I just do what I like, and I see quality people like you like them. Secondly, we did spend more time together, life was a collective shared experience once. Thank you so much.
Watching this, it just hit me: when I was a kid in the 80s, my family almost always watched TV while eating dinner. Meanwhile, raising my son, one big rule I had was no screens: no TV, no phone, during dinner. It was a time when we can talk about our days without distractions. He's 21 now and that is something he appreciates, and we both still follow. When we sit down to eat together, the phones go away. Thanks for another great video, and lots of memories, as always.
THIS. This is wonderful. Amazing that although you had more screen time as a kid, you have made the choice not to allow screens, and it works. Everyone is together, and your decision has made everyone better. Thank you for watching.
We really had it better for so many reasons back in the day! Thanks for reminding us of many of those things that were better. Such a great show this week!
Thank you. As you know, it was tough on me, and I totally deleted one of them on accident. LOL. Some things were just better before.
Spot on in every aspect!
Thank you. Its nice to turn it around and tell people was IS NOT AGING WELL TODAY, and was better before.
People can't even cross the friggen street without looking at their phone!
They can't lift their heads ever. That is how we will have less idiots, lol.
I totally agree with you.
And I totally appreciate the view, too. Thank you
Great video...I definitely can relate. Makes me think maybe somethings from the past might be better in today's time. Keep up the great work Fam.❤️
Hey hey. So good to see you here. And yes, I agree some ways of life then would be make today better off if they were still around. Thank you so much.
I remember all of these growing up, except for the driving part since I can't see and never got the chance to drive
THank you for the comment. If I am reading this right, you can't physically see? Totally understand the driving thing, then...but you do listen to my show? Thank you sooooo very very much. It is appreciated.
I'd argue that the pajama pants in public started in the early 90s with Zubaz.
I did have a pair, too. I remember wearing them in 1991. THey just felt like something we didn't sleep in...although I would agree they seemed like PJs
Where I live (which, frankly, is a pretty safe neighborhood), the school bus won't pick up your kid unless a parent is waiting at the bus stop with them. Depending on your work schedule, you might just need to drop them off on the way to work.
When I was a kid (exact same neighborhood), you could catch the bus by yourself or with a group of other kids in the neighborhood, no adults required.
Doing things by ourselves was something we had pride in, and our parents were thrilled that we might be self sufficient adults.
Parents just don't understand!
lol. That about sums it up. Thanks for the comment
preaching to the choir, brother, but here's what bothers me......
why did people stop teaching their children simple values?
i saw it happening in real time around 1980, when, all of a sudden, every kid had to get a bumper sticker, whether they earned it or not.
as an honor student, i raised a fuss.
what is the motivation for working hard, following the rules and going above and beyond if we can not be rewarded for it because we might make the other kids "feel bad"?
within 10 years, teenagers no longer looked forward to graduating, moving out and starting their new lives of freedom, preferring to stay with their parents as long as possible, to stay teenagers for as long as possible.
and now you say they don't even look forward to their own wheels anymore......
modern humans are devolving into mush.
only good part is, you can't breed if you don't have face to face contact with somebody, even if it's only a doctor!!! 🤣
So much good stuff to unpack here, lol. Seriously, I try to make sense of it. Some people say it is progress, evolution...but I can't see how any of it is good for us, or better. Thank you for watching and your sensical comments.
@@GENXPERIENCE i seriously don't see how anyone could think that humans are evolving in any way right now.......
and it's so sad to hear that anyone would believe that.
you can't begin to fix or correct a problem if you can't even admit that it's there....... 😞🤬
I‘m part of Gen Z in Asia. Here where I am (and in many places across the rest of the Eastern part of the continent) , the authority of teachers and parents is still quite unquestionable. (For example, there are strict school uniform and hair regulations that are being enforced). I always got in trouble for hair length because it touched the ear and/or collar of the uniform, plus teachers are strict with hair colors that aren’t black.
I see doing chores as rewarding because it gives a sense of cleanliness and serves as a good form of exercise, especially in the case of sweeping and mopping floors.
Not a lot of people learn to drive in their teenage years, if at all because of the following circumstances:
- buses and trains are the main modes of transportation
- cannot afford owning a vehicle
- walking to school is normal
I agree with you a lot in the fashion department. Seeing pajamas and leggings without layers worn in public is quite funny. XD
It‘d be cool if people took the time to style themselves because one can still be comfortable without sacrificing style. I think Korean and Japanese youth are good examples of those who still take time to be presentable/stylish even if all that will be done is go to the supermarket or convenience store.
THIS. All of this. We once were "More" like that (not exact, of coures), but we allow for this. I wish uniforms were standard here...that might help. I appreciate your take, and the watch. Thank you
@@GENXPERIENCE No problem, and yes, I think school uniforms are quite beneficial to help others easily identify if someone is a minor or where to go/who to contact if emergencies arise. Also helps in avoiding difficulty in deciding what to wear for the day. XD
Ah, chores. When I was twelve my parents were buying a new house and while we were in the model home going over the blueprints the real estate agent was listing all the extras you could get such as dishwashers. My dad said, "I don't need to pay extra for a dishwasher, I already have one." The agent, looking confused, said, "sir, you can't take the dishwasher from out of your old house and install it in the new one." My dad laughed and said, "sure I can! He's standing right there!" while pointing at me.
Cute, and totally acceptable, lol. That is how my parents did it, too. Thank you for watching.
I love your hair and the video #DisneyDiva ❤
Thank you for both. I thought you would like the use of the Little Mermaid and Aladdin in the show, too.
My Mom hated me being in front of the TV too long, especially in the summer. I grew up on a farm in a small town so she was always telling me to get outside, go visit friends, read a book, etc., etc. The TV was a treat, not a babysitter. Today's kids are glued to their phone and tablets.
I always thought watching that much TV was going to make me go blind. Although that may or may not be true, it still was healthier for our parents to push us away from watching so much of it. Thanks for the comment.
My parents were not so much concerned about me going blind from the TV. But the radiation exposure. The brand of TV was called the radiation king after all we bought it very used
Yeah, wimpy parents not parenting their kids bugs me too.
They have got to do better.
but who raised them?
how did we get here? 🤔
