The 80s were magical. No internet, no social media none of the crap we have today. We would listen to music and just talk to each other. God how I wish we could go back to that. The world would be a much better place.
I couldn’t agree more. All of this tech has subverted some very fundamental aspects of society and humanity. We have access to anyone at our fingertips at any time, yet somehow we are more lonely and it seems so much harder to connect in meaningful ways. I would gladly go back to having a rotary phone and no internet. 😂
yep, sometimes so much it almost hurts, it's like I can't stop listening to the best of the 80s, blubbering and tears occasionally depending on the song and how much wine I've had to drink, but eventually "reality" reels me back in to its tenacious grip...
@@AlejandroMS67Just kidding, I love my 80s tunes, and I miss the club's, dancing, drinking, making the scene with my flashy clothes and my good time friends!!
I did and it was awesome. My mom loved this song and back then you got lucky when it came on the radio in our shitty truck on the way to soccer practice. Memories
@@glenphillips1906 you are really lucky. I was born in the late 80's 1988 to be precise so in the mid 90's we still got a little feeling of the 80's before it all went burst.
@@manharrajesh7356 I was in my 20's. The Army, then foreign travel, College, two very passionate relationships and finally meeting 'my tribe' in S.F. and later in L.A.
10 years ago those Liberty Mutual commercials played this song while people wrecked their cars and backed into their houses. It made me laugh so hard. I was usually the only one.
@@wagnerlima1183 Wagner does music always new the generation that make does music it don't have people like that to make does kind of unique and masterpiece music again because they die in out the 80s were the best decade in music
So many singers from the 80s don't get the recognition they deserve. They didn't need autotune or props. They had raw talent. HOw times have changed. It was great growing up during this era. Positive vibes
Very similar feels, I'm 47 and going through a very difficult separation . Some advice, try not to break someone else's heart. Don't let your ego make a painful situation more difficult 😥
I miss the songs from the 80’s for many reasons. One of the biggest is because they told a story. From start to finish. Not just a lyric repeated over and over.
I'm 44 so I'd be a kid in the 80s but I still think the 80s is the greatest decade for music, fashion and even living standards. A minimum weeks wage went so much further than it does now.
from listenning to the beat it makes sense that JJ and TL produced this hit, because the beat is similar to beat on janet jackson i miss you much and the end melody sounds similar to the janet jackson intro on escapade ✊️😅
I also graduated in '87. I go to TH-cam to help me relive my teenage years. I never thought about getting older but it is what it is. Music today absolutely sucks. I know I might be rambling but I really do wish there was a way to time travel back to the eighties.
Same here. Honestly I feel like the eighties are a state of mind and a way of life if you will it to be. Some of us are lucky enough to have lived during that time and understand that the dream of that time is so much more ellusive than anything worth desiring today. Today most artists aren't willing to allow for any sense of true emotionality and longing. It's out there. But definitely not mainstream like it was then. It's like trying to catch the wind.
AUTOPHYXATION...Thank you for your input Debbie Downer. You sound like the kid who was bullied in the eighties as a child, and are still to this day as an adult. It’s very sad actually 😔
@@Name-qy9du I actually was not born in the 80s, and I was bullied by the oppressive social system of otherising that our society has unintentionally built up. You may call it Debbie Downer, but I call it Realism, and a bit of practicality. Wishful thinking (x time period was so much better) is all it is, unfortunately. And I'm sure you're well aware that the majority of adults dont believe in wishes
You know what, one of the best things about being in my 50's now is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's..........Priceless and I wouldn't change them for the world🇬🇧
@@MrPuros The benefit you have bud, is that you can rewind time and listen to these songs again and suddenly be transported back to that time again through your eyes!
The melodies, the complex percussion & rythm loop, the arc of the song where it almost comes to halt, the vocals ... damn, 80s music can be so perfect.
i feel old now buddy and im only 32 as i miss the 90s so much so god knows how you must feel..so sad that we all have to grow up although tbh i dont think i have im still peter pan haha
This is simply a masterpiece on every level, the quality of Phil Oakey’s vocals, combined with the production of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who were the masters of their craft at that time. It’s a true testament of schmaltzy pop soul ballad.
I'm 46 i miss the 80s every thing in my life at that time was so carefree and now I can listen to the music from that time and wish I could just spend a day are 2 with family whos gone RIP MISS YOU ALL 🌹 we are only human ...
I was born late 86 but I am so deeply in love with 80s music. This is one of those songs I love to sing. The voice, lyrics, the simplicity. What an era.
Honestly, I think The Human League was way ahead of their time, and greatly underappreciated. I mean, they had some iconic, iconic songs. Moments of brilliance. The sound, look, writing were incredible.
@chicken Gorge I saw T for F in concert, about three years ago, in Nashville. They were touring with Hall n Oates. They were so good in concert. I thought better than HnO. I would go see them again!
This was more my parents genre and era but I love this stuff, Michael McDonald, kenny loggins, Marvin Gaye, light house family (but newer I know) and my main music of choice is hip hop.. work that one out 🤣
Brings tears to me eyes how good things used to be. Even the hard times back then were better then the times of today. TOTAL NOSTALGIA RIGHT NOW. The memories that are flowing in my head. 😔
I agree rays6741. Our country is being stripped of everything. Damn the eighties NEVER had this schit! What is going on now. Funny it is all Bidens Fault and the Democraps. Really! We must get them out!
Sim verdade minha é meu pai passaram muitas dificuldades em santos e pagando aluguel até os anos 2006 quando ela faleceu minha bebida era Ksuco não tinha as coisas que tem hj mas infelizmente minha família hj em dia si dissolvel😢😢😢😢😢
The best time of my life a job I loved great friends we were out on Friday and sat nights drinking and dancing and having a great time please take me back ❤
I’m of an age where the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s all still find a place on my playlists, but every generation has it’s day. Where I think music lost it’s way in the 90’s, there are still songs that I like and that applies to the 2000’s, 2010 up to today.
Class of '85, Kick It Live! I can't believe it's gonna be 40 years way too soon! The song structure, that beat, those gorgeous, iconic DX Heaven chords! It's August, 2024...A timeless, pure 80s pop classic...Thought ya knew this was a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis joint! Long live the 80s!
+Lisa Taylor This song is classic and there are plenty of ppl out there who don't know who produced this song. the same ones that sang background for Morris Day and worked with Janet Jackson and many more. js
80s melodies are heavenly Those 80s keyboard lines that emulate kind of crystal, water, ice, wind, light, electricity and fire sound spectrums. 💎🌊❄️🌬️✨⚡🔥
@@kensmechanicalaffair No no, my friend, even some artists used to name their synthesizer sounds with physical nature elements, for example, library music used to. Like this one: Shining Ice by Paul Williams (1986) th-cam.com/video/dahfP6-1j9w/w-d-xo.html When I listen to this, in my mind I can visualize kind of cave with ice cubes shining and melting. It's incredible how every element has their own sound according to them and you can make a mental journey to landscapes. The power of music.
Human League had recently had a concert in Dubai and I couldn't watch as I was at work. Damn, young Phil Oakey reminds me of Chubbyemu now! 😅 But Phil Oakey had more rizz 😍
When I said I'd meet you somewhere you have to trust me otherwise I would have stiffed you. Depended on payphones to assure the parents I wasn't out doing psychedelics. I couldn't imagine living know as a teen. Such a cell....phone.
I remember growing up a little girl listening to this song and I fell in love with it, as I loved George Michael, and so many others. Still one of my favorites to this day. It's one the songs within my Pandora's playlist. I don't even bother with the new music. I open up Pandora and select an 80s artist and I listen to it all day. The 80s were the best!!!
My sentiments exactly. I think most people are like that. They tend to listen to mainly the music they grew up with. I honestly couldn't name a single song and the artist on the charts these days.
And somehow, they made it work, right? Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were awesome producers!!! The '80s was the best decade for music. So many memories this and others brings back...:)
Sunny Tyler Lfo boy band made song called baby be mines on there first a album 1999 .. there where from river falls Massachusetts...they sampled human league song
@@atuhaireanthony8679 We certainly had some issues but the eclectic mix of music styles in that decade will probably never be matched. We had it all really.
More lyrics.. Come on baby, dry your eyes Wipe your tears Never like to see you cry Won't you please forgive me I wouldn't ever try to hurt you I just needed someone to hold me To fill the void while you were gone To fill this space of emptiness I'm only human Of flesh and blood I'm made Human Born to make mistakes So many nights I longed to hold you So many times I looked and saw your face Nothing could change the way I feel No one else could ever take your place I'm only human Of flesh and blood I'm made Human Born to make mistakes (I am just a man) (Human) (Human) Please forgive me (The tears I cry aren't tears of pain They're only to hide my guilt and shame I forgive you, now I ask the same of you While we were apart I was human too) I'm only human Of flesh and blood I'm made (I am just a man) Human Born to make mistakes (Human Human).
This song taught me how to say "please forgive me". 38 years and 3 beautiful daughters later, I am still thankful that I was able to say it... 1986- 2024
They used the same drum beat for Janet Jackson - Love Will Never Do. Just discovered that today while flipping though music channels and hearing both songs playing!
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !* I just found this out yesterday watching a brief documentary on the group Loose Ends. This track was supposed to be for them.
I remember being SHOCKED when I learned about 18 years ago that Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam, who produced HARD songs for Janet Jackson such as Control produced this soft as hell Human song. I even said something like,"How did these HARD song Producers produce this soft Human song?"
Me in "85" getting divorced and heartbroken, listening this song and all of a sudden, here come the tears again. Strange how some songs trigger memories that you thought you got over, 36 years ago.
Time truly heals all wounds. Some take even longer than 38 years. But mine took 29 years. Sometimes u got to say F**k it and just let go , move on. Every minute that goes by, is another minute closer to us NO LONGER being alive.
Hal Newell This isn't hell. Listen to the amazing new band Chvrches. They make amazing synth pop. Lies is my favorite song to come out since the 90s. Their whole album is good.
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis’s production is all over this song! You could easily see SOS Band, Alexander O’Neil, Cherrelle, or even Janet Jackson singing this song. Greatness!
Every decade has their problems but life before the internet, social media and the god damn phones was REAL. Face to face human interactions. Creativity was at its best in the 80s. That's why the music was so good. Now everything is fake. Boring, zombie phone addicts everywhere you look. I am so tired of comments like 'don't romanticize the past.' If you weren't there you have no idea what you're talking about...

Born 1970, crappy decade but then 80s hit, what a time to be alive!
I was a teenager and early twenties in this decade and yes it was great music. Good for you. You have great taste.👍
Honestly, I think The Human League was way ahead of their time, and greatly underappreciated. I mean, they had some iconic, iconic songs. Moments of brilliance. The sound, look, writing were incredible.
Agree...
@chicken Gorge Amen! 80's was the best decade!
@chicken Gorge I saw T for F in concert, about three years ago, in Nashville. They were touring with Hall n Oates. They were so good in concert. I thought better than HnO. I would go see them again!
@chicken Gorge Radio just announced that Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island passed away today. Dude, that's like my first t.v. crush.
@chicken Gorge I know that Ginger is still alive. I think that's about it.
Please bring back the 80's. Best decade EVER!!
The lyrics "I'm only human. Born to make mistakes" is just sang so perfectly and with so much soul. It hits so hard
So is "Of flesh and blood I'm made" Damn!
Love the way she sings, “I am just a man!”
It's sure does great meaning and beat
Also, "While we were apart, I was human, too."
We wouldn't be human if we didn't make mistakes.
This was the best decade for music. Absolutely beautiful ❤️
What a pretty breathtaking woman ,hello my darling
I would say the 60s and 70s were great too. After Mid 90s .. music went horrible
I completely agree. I was young with a lot of the music but I feel like I remember it like I was older. 80s had the greatest music across all genres
Sure was music has alot of heart and soul.
Absolutely
My young daughter has discovered this era of music and has fell in love with it. I'm comforted in the knowledge this genres will not be forgotten.
Parenting goal!
Good for her!
This was more my parents genre and era but I love this stuff, Michael McDonald, kenny loggins, Marvin Gaye, light house family (but newer I know) and my main music of choice is hip hop.. work that one out 🤣
I think music from the mid-1950s to the mid-2000s will never be forgotten or duplicated. It was simply the golden age of the 4th art, period !
ty
Brings tears to me eyes how good things used to be. Even the hard times back then were better then the times of today. TOTAL NOSTALGIA RIGHT NOW. The memories that are flowing in my head. 😔
I agree rays6741. Our country is being stripped of everything. Damn the eighties NEVER had this schit! What is going on now. Funny it is all Bidens Fault and the Democraps. Really! We must get them out!
Brings back great memories
Amen. 80s...lots of good and bad times
I agree 💯 percent

Listening in 2022. Still the best song from the amazing Human League, IMO.
I'm listening to Human League Human early January 2022
Meee 1/10/2022
Love the drama
One of the best songs I've ever heard.
This song sounds like a Black R&B song 🤓
This in my opinion was Human League's best song ever.
agreed. love the sound of my vynil.
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis wrote this for them.
Opinion? No, youre correct!!
💯💯💯
Totally agree!!👍👌
80's music takes me back to the best times in my life. It could never be duplicated
Yeah!!! And 80s movie 🎥 🍿
The best time of my life a job I loved great friends we were out on Friday and sat nights drinking and dancing and having a great time please take me back ❤
I agree 👍👍
Nothing can compare , 80s music is the best.
Born in 64. I agree. 80s had the BEST music!
Human League , Spandau Ballet , Depeche Mode , ABC , Tears For Fears , Maddona... thats just a few .. nothing like them in this day
I agree with you...please add also Bon Jovi, U2...hoooo my God
I hope the younger generations take note and somehow keep this type of music alive
I’m of an age where the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s all still find a place on my playlists, but every generation has it’s day. Where I think music lost it’s way in the 90’s, there are still songs that I like and that applies to the 2000’s, 2010 up to today.
We saw Spamdau Ballet a couple of years ago. Still rocking. Howard Jones too.
@@jeffkramer3232 I'm definitely into mostly 80s and 90s and some 70s but occasionally I find songs from other decades I like
There is no other decade like the 80s. I feel blessed to grow up in this era. This music definded the way I listen to music.
Right there with you!
@@oldgoat142Me too❤
Me too!!😊
I will never forget this beautiful song!
I do appreciate it since I was 19 years old. Today I am 54.
C'est le genre de chanson que je n'oublierai jamais. Un des grands tubs des années 80.
Just like me. I. Am 54 years and i feel that same feelings that's One of my favorite songs born to make mistakes.

The UK produced some of the best bands in the '80s, there will never be another era like the '80s
This is so true we didn't need to be sniffing coke to have a good time just a few drinks. And then on to the disco.
I am a dutchman and i agree!
I fucking agree and even in the 90s and 00s. :-) A South African here. :P
Genial
Yet again they called it the British invasion. Hah! Americans.
I’m 43 but wish I could live the 80s again 😢
Iam building a time machine right now to go back

Class of '85, Kick It Live! I can't believe it's gonna be 40 years way too soon! The song structure, that beat, those gorgeous, iconic DX Heaven chords! It's August, 2024...A timeless, pure 80s pop classic...Thought ya knew this was a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis joint! Long live the 80s!

Everything Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis touched turned to gold.
+Lisa Taylor This song is classic and there are plenty of ppl out there who don't know who produced this song. the same ones that sang background for Morris Day and worked with Janet Jackson and many more. js
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis...worked magic back in the eighties. :)
+Brian Norby amen
+Lisa Taylor omg I didn't know this
+Lisa Taylor ...yes, they did. This was my jam back in '86.
80s melodies are heavenly
Those 80s keyboard lines that emulate kind of crystal, water, ice, wind, light, electricity and fire sound spectrums.
💎🌊❄️🌬️✨⚡🔥
Lol. I thought i was the only one who thought that.
@@kensmechanicalaffair
No no, my friend, even some artists used to name their synthesizer sounds with physical nature elements, for example, library music used to.
Like this one: Shining Ice by Paul Williams (1986) th-cam.com/video/dahfP6-1j9w/w-d-xo.html
When I listen to this, in my mind I can visualize kind of cave with ice cubes shining and melting.
It's incredible how every element has their own sound according to them and you can make a mental journey to landscapes. The power of music.
@@arcangelico2179 Very powerful.
thank you what a beautiful eloquent comment
Yes for sure ♥️
80's electronic pianos were something else. Such a smooth sound. The chords have so much power!

Human League had recently had a concert in Dubai and I couldn't watch as I was at work. Damn, young Phil Oakey reminds me of Chubbyemu now! 😅 But Phil Oakey had more rizz 😍
Was a teen in the 80s.. wouldn't have traded it for anything. No cell phones. No social media. True freedom.
💯💯💯 facts, life was happier times, we could go out and have a good time, no problems, now you might not make it back home 😒😒, so sad
I was a teen in the 80's as well. I am 53 years old and the 80's were the best!
When I said I'd meet you somewhere you have to trust me otherwise I would have stiffed you. Depended on payphones to assure the parents I wasn't out doing psychedelics. I couldn't imagine living know as a teen. Such a cell....phone.
@@WilliamDavidHobbs what a dumb ass comment
So true Monica. Good times.
I remember growing up a little girl listening to this song and I fell in love with it, as I loved George Michael, and so many others. Still one of my favorites to this day. It's one the songs within my Pandora's playlist. I don't even bother with the new music. I open up Pandora and select an 80s artist and I listen to it all day. The 80s were the best!!!
My sentiments exactly. I think most people are like that. They tend to listen to mainly the music they grew up with. I honestly couldn't name a single song and the artist on the charts these days.

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were/ are masters of their craft, and the vocals are perfect too. This is one of the greatest songs of all time.
True, these 2 masters were both from the school of Prince's music ... the Minneapolis Sound.
🎯
Those two producing music even last couple decades would made things like updated 80s w/o uncommon sense Hip Hop words.
They had their own sound. Janet new edition etc
Who knew a New-wave Pop Band from Sheffield, and Two R&B Writer/Producers from the Midwest, could create such Magic!?!?!?!?!?!?!
And somehow, they made it work, right? Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were awesome producers!!! The '80s was the best decade for music. So many memories this and others brings back...:)
Sunny Tyler Lfo boy band made song called baby be mines on there first a album 1999 .. there where from river falls Massachusetts...they sampled human league song
@@mulder4268 Terry Lewis & Jimmy Jam were members of The Time featuring Morris Day. They also contributed heavily to Janet Jackson's albums.
No wonder it has that new jack swing vibe to it!!
But human league original for song made they lfo sample there song from 1986!!!
I grew up hearing this song incessantly but only now as a middle aged adult does it really hit home as I find myself in this scenario..
You are stunning 😍 😚 ❤
All things considered, I hope you are able to still hold onto love. even if its not with the same person.
We all go through it. Thank God for grace!
Spill the tea miss! 🐸☕️
I want to insult you for being a thot, but overall I hope that you worked things out.
I was 20 in 1980, and that makes me old, but also gifted. I lived in the best decade of this country's existence.
Indeed, now 25.. can't stop wondering how it was then.
@@atuhaireanthony8679 We certainly had some issues but the eclectic mix of music styles in that decade will probably never be matched. We had it all really.
This Song Went To Number 1 On The Billboard Hot 100 Charts In 1986.

You Got That Right.

This song has been stuck in my head for the past 3 months and has no plans of leaving. Every few hours I just sing "I am just a mannnnnn" 😂
😂 😂😂
It's REALLYYYYYYY similar to "Cause' I'm a Man" by Tame Impala
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis are LEGENDS!!
I wish I could hear you saying it out loud 😂
SO GLAD I GREW UP AS AN 80S KID!! SUCH WONDERFUL MUSIC BACK THEN!! IT'LL "NEVER" BE FORGOTTEN!!!

More lyrics..
Come on baby, dry your eyes
Wipe your tears
Never like to see you cry
Won't you please forgive me
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
I just needed someone to hold me
To fill the void while you were gone
To fill this space of emptiness
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes
So many nights I longed to hold you
So many times I looked and saw your face
Nothing could change the way I feel
No one else could ever take your place
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
Human
Born to make mistakes
(I am just a man)
(Human)
(Human)
Please forgive me
(The tears I cry aren't tears of pain
They're only to hide my guilt and shame
I forgive you, now I ask the same of you
While we were apart I was human too)
I'm only human
Of flesh and blood I'm made
(I am just a man)
Human
Born to make mistakes
(Human
Human).
right, and the same blonde .. beautifull 😚
Thank you :-)
This song taught me how to say "please forgive me". 38 years and 3 beautiful daughters later, I am still thankful that I was able to say it... 1986- 2024
Shout out to Terry Lewis and Jimmy jam. The master minds behind this hit. Legends!🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌
👏
They used the same drum beat for Janet Jackson - Love Will Never Do.
Just discovered that today while flipping though music channels and hearing both songs playing!
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*
I just found this out yesterday watching a brief documentary on the group Loose Ends. This track was supposed to be for them.
I remember being SHOCKED when I learned about 18 years ago that Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam, who produced HARD songs for Janet Jackson such as Control produced this soft as hell Human song. I even said something like,"How did these HARD song Producers produce this soft Human song?"
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis pure legends! Huge impact: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_written_by_Jimmy_Jam_and_Terry_Lewis
This one of the best songs ever made. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis really gave these guys they best work 💎💎💎💎💎
On God bro I listen to this song 7 times in a row everytime I listen to it.
Dont you want me is their best work & their first US #1. This was their 2nd. That song is an 80s classic. Human opened them up to a black audience.

all the best bands were from my youth days, the best days of my lifexxxxxxx 80,s
Takes me back to roughly 1987, 1988 riding around in the family 1982 Volvo 240 DL wagon.
Me in "85" getting divorced and heartbroken, listening this song and all of a sudden, here come the tears again. Strange how some songs trigger memories that you thought you got over, 36 years ago.
For me it was Aerosmith's Angel. The song was popular around my sister's death and it's a hard song to listen to.
@@Moebian73 Whitesnake "is this love" for me
Happens to me a lot. Songs have a way of transporting you.
Time truly heals all wounds. Some take even longer than 38 years. But mine took 29 years. Sometimes u got to say F**k it and just let go , move on. Every minute that goes by, is another minute closer to us NO LONGER being alive.
2023 amo demais essa música.chega até doer meu coração de tanta lembrança dos anos 80 que vivi nessa época tão maravilhosa ❤❤❤
I’m listening to Human League Human early July 2023 Las Vegas Nevada
I’m listening on 12th October 2023 😊
Eu era criança nos anos 80, mas gosto desta música desde sempre.
Top demais essa canção
Estamos às vésperas de 2024 e não me canso de ouvir esse clássico que saudade do ano de 1987.
To me this song itself is proof that the 80's was the best decade ever.
right with you, when we listen about words in that song and songs now, makes me sad
Amen. The 80's were heaven- the 2000's- HELL.
that's right hal newell, very sade today the 2000's bullshit
YES IT WAS
Hal Newell This isn't hell. Listen to the amazing new band Chvrches. They make amazing synth pop. Lies is my favorite song to come out since the 90s. Their whole album is good.
One of the best songs of the 80s. It’s 2024 and I’m listening. Doesn’t get old.
This song is simply beautiful. It encapsulates what it means to be human.
Really? Wouldn’t you say that most humans spread ugliness rather than beauty? I mean, take black culture for instance.
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis’s production is all over this song! You could easily see SOS Band, Alexander O’Neil, Cherrelle, or even Janet Jackson singing this song. Greatness!
what about New Edition or Michael Jackson? or imagine him beatboxing to this!
exactly ✊️😅
Boys ll Men did a remix of this too. I still prefer the original artist.
Yep. Classic sound and top tier production quality from that time period, which influenced so many genres of music.
Yep 100%
The sound quality on this song is crystal clear!
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis produced it, known for Janet Jackson's album productions. You can really hear their influence here.
Every decade has their problems but life before the internet, social media and the god damn phones was REAL. Face to face human interactions. Creativity was at its best in the 80s. That's why the music was so good. Now everything is fake. Boring, zombie phone addicts everywhere you look. I am so tired of comments like 'don't romanticize the past.' If you weren't there you have no idea what you're talking about...
Yeah, everything is so real back in the day and now with that AI trend shit, everything seems completely fake and unoriginal.
Real Talk
