I bet back then none of these people had a clue that one day thousands of people would have watched this and could watch it any time they like, from anywhere in the world.
Crazy that my mom graduated 3 years before this. It makes me feel like I'm looking at what she'd be like in her teenage years. My mom passed away 6 months ago, this is exactly what I needed, thank you.
You think life was simple. That was during the Cold War. Challenger and Chernobyl just happened. Your friends were not available all the time, you had to call them, and the phone was often in the living room of your parents, no privacy. No internet, no wikipedia.
Class of ‘87 here! South High school Salt Lake City , Utah. No metal detectors, no discrimination, no racism, no CRT, no trans cults, very few fights, no shootings, and my grandmas Oldsmobile station wagon. These were the best of times! Thanks for the vid , Wayne! Hello mom!
The best way to summarize all of these classic 1980's high school videos is teenagers knew how to be teenagers back then. Most kids were healthy, a bit gawky and unsure of themselves (which is normal) and very good sociability in those days too. They were not trying to grow up fast like the ones today.
Hey I'm embarrassed it has taken 10 years to reply Lisa but yes, it feels like time travel for sure! Everyone looked at me so weird that day for bringing the camcorder but I'm so glad I did!
Graduated high school in 87. I have almost no pictures and definitely no videos of myself or my friends from this time. Taking pictures of ourselves just wasn't something we did much back then. We also didn't have these little amazing pieces of technology in our pockets all the time. In some ways I think 'thank God', since preserving those awkward teenaged years could be really cringeworthy. But it would be cool to have more photos from my youth. It's gone before you know it.
0:37 Wow! I started watching this thinking, “What are the odds that I will see myself on this video.” That’s me in the Alabama jacket with the red sleeves standing in the lunch line waiting for radioactive pizza. 😂 Thanks for sharing, Wayne!
@@MaYeRsNoLife well yeah we would be 50 but everyone eventually grows old but our "younger years" would have been more meaningful and fun and looking back you would be much happier with the 80's years
This is such a great time capsule, Wayne. I vaguely remember you shooting this, and I think someone gave me a copy for a video I edited for c/o ‘88’s 10-year reunion. -Wayne Franklin
Wow the year 1987. I remember when eazy e boys in the hood song was a hit and wrestlemania 3 event was great. Also, the video game metal gear on Nintendo came out too. Nostalgia 😎
Time travel is so sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like seeing the introverts and can't help to wonder where are they now....kinda breaks my heart in a way bc I was glued to my highschool sweetheart .. the innocence is all gone :(((((((((((
My graduation year. Tennessee. great times for some and sad times others. But I wouldn't change my live for anything. 80's music, clothing, the cars and movies.
How cool, right, the 80s, 1987, you have a video of your high school days, this is one of the best memories a person can have of their school days and a lot of watching videos of those on youtube
Why do you people always say you wish you were BORN in the 80's when your watching teenagers in high school on the video. If you were BORN in the 80's you would be a baby or a toddler or a little kid. I was born in the 80's in 1982. I was an infant, a toddler and a little kid back in the 80's. I did not have the same experience as the teenagers did back then. They were much older then me and in high school. I on the other hand was really little and was in nursery school and preschool. Two different age groups, two different experiences.
So that's what the cafeteria looks like from the inside! I went four years to this high school and never ate inside, just a soda and a Whatchamacallit for 4 straight years outside, haha!
The mullet did peak in popularity between 1985-1989 but it was never the dominant hairstyle. Probably only about one in 10 people had some form of a mullet.
people were generally too shy for cameras back them. Now that everyone is so in love with themselves today with selfies they eat up the camera every opportunity they have
I always think that. I graduated in 1990 and cannot believe I covered my body with baggy clothing when I had the best body of my life. Haha. I guess it left a lot to the boys' imaginations, which is kind of cool.
Wow, how different it was all that time with what little technology there was. I think if I would travel again at that time, I would only entertain myself with saries to come like The Simpsons or Alf 🙄
I used to think the same about females being stuck up and unreachable in modern times, but then again, these days guys are too afraid to approach and talk to women. I blame social media for both sides of the spectrum
