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.
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
Me.. i was born in '83, i couldn't remember much about the 80s but the songs reminds me of my father as loved to sing. I wish I could back to the 80s, just stay there in my childhood without worries, just simple life and playing with friends outside
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.
@@charliesartandcrafts, 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👍

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
It really is true that you don't know what you got till it's gone, isn't it? I thought in the 90s that computers would help us and all they have done is ruin us.
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.
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.
AERODAVES: YES, YOU SAY RIGHT: "It is probably the greatest video on all of RU-vid." I LOVE THE 80's!!! BECAUSE I WAS BORN IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES!!! IT MEANS: THE 80's BELONGS TO ME!!! AND I BELONG TO THE 80's!!!
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
The person responsible for making this video is a absolute genius. It was like a fireworks display of my life in the 80s. I loved my childhood, I'd go back tomorrow.
The only bad part about this video is that it was way too short :( Nevertheless it was so awesome that I posted the video on my FaceBook page. Class of 1985 Morgan Hill, Ca.
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..
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.
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 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.
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.
I think this comment section is the most harmonious and united I've ever seen on RU-vid. Only 80's nostalgia can do that. Take a bow ladies and gents..👏🏾👍🏾
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."
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.
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.
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.
For 4 mins 32 seconds I was transported back to the 80's. A big smile on my face and a tear in my eye. Such an awesome decade. Don't be sad that's it over....smile because it happened.
This is beyond a shadow of a doubt, the best video on RU-vid. I've watched this over 200 times through lockdown and it still makes me emotional and poignant
How can it be that we had WAY LESS screen time back then yet we (80s kids) can remember like 99% of the images in this montage??? It tells me we had more time to let those meaningful songs, videos, movies, TV shows resonate with us and seep into our memories. Today there is so much 5-30sec "content", so many viewing options, on so many platforms that you can't really forge deep lasting memories bc as soon as something appealing arrives and you watch it, its buried under 1000 other pieces of content in the next 24 hours. So weird.
Can't really describe how amazing this video was to me...I've never experienced a nostalgic rush quite like what just happened. Almost like your life flashing before you. Thank you.
This montage deserves an Oscar and an Emmy. Each viewing I'm wiping away tears, even though I'm a tough guy like Cobra ;) Bravo and thank you! There can be no argument that the '80s was the climax of western civilization
True. But it was just a coincidence. This system had to crush right from the start. The only question was, when. If they didn´t cheat (remove the Dollar from the Gold-Standard), the 70´s had been the climax. But in this scenario, we will have to face the decline right now.
@@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.
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.
I totally agree with you because being myself as 90s kids born in 1996 70s and 80s English music are the best decades and such a beautiful nostalgia in 70s and 80s I also miss those 80s
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!!!
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
today's kids want to be the parents, just without the responsibility and financial burden. you'd think that a generation of people who stick their tongues where it shouldn't be wouldn't be such assholes about every. single. thing. ah, well, at least we have good memories of our youth and nary a picture of our dinner was ever taken.
@Tim Turko Political correctness is only a problem if you're trying to be an arsehole. It's really not that hard to treat people with decency and respect and still have fun.
@@salexo9 These things have always been offensive. The only difference is that we're more interconnected now. Back then, marginalised individuals and groups just had to grit their teeth and bear the indignities; after all who was going to stand up for them? Now they're able to band together to support eachother and raise their voices collectively. You will still get those that will fly-off-the-handle at the smallest slight, but they are a tiny minority. When it comes to most people, as long as you're not going out of your way to offend people (and not doubling-down if you do make a mistake,) you can usually get by fine without problems.

What I would not give to be an old man now so I could have lived through the 70s as a teen And L-I-V-E-D through the 80s as a 20 something and had fun in the 90s as a 30 something And enjoyed the 2000s as a forty year old I feel SOOOOOOOOO sorry for generation z
@@adrenalinbemyride Oh am sure they are happy in their own way listening to the monotonous thumping they call music whilst carrying a huge chip on their shoulder and staring at a screen all today.
Christmas 1988, I'm 8 years old, my Dad takes me to Toys R Us to buy a set of wheels for my Vison Gater skateboard. I pick a set of Street Rock Skeletons. Each wheel is a different colour. Every kid down my street comes over to try out my board, and I get to shoot darts into the tree outside with my older friends air pistol that Santa brought him. Thats the 80's right there.
Whoever put this video together, you deserve a greatest person of the century award or something. The way everything just syncs perfectly and then with the cartoons colliding right as the saxophone drops. I wanna buy you a beer!
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.
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..
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.
Drawing dead we need to get back to those times where when elections end we accept the results and stand behind our country, president, elected officials regardless of our political affiliations
@@davidhead3704 Agree but you can't have in your face fraud like 2020 for that to be realistic. Every state that has actually looked found piles and piles or irregularities. The late vote changes were close to statistically impossible in a fair election.
Drawing dead where I live out of close to 3000 people there were like 10 people who voted for president trump. We live in a small community and I never met any person who would vote for him around here. When he was elected there were actually more votes for him before they knew anything about him. Unfortunately he alienated too many people. Made too many enemies. I’m pretty sure if there were the irregularities you say that the republicans controlled Supreme Court would have seen his evidence. How do you explain that? By the way, I have voted Republican more times that I’ve voted Democrat. This past election cycle I sat out refusing to vote for either candidate. The Republican Party has changed too much for my liking and I would NEVER vote against my AR-15’s. So please don’t accuse me of being of one party affiliation or another. I’m not either
If you grew up in the 80s, like me, now 56…when you see all those that we’ve lost…MJ, Prince, Swayze, R. Williams, Candy, Ramis, Turner, G.Michael, Noriyuki, Weathers, Van Halen, Houston, and so many more…if you don’t shed a tear for all the memories, then you’ve got a heart of stone
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.........
Some call me Millenial. I was born in '86. I disagree with that term. Some call me a "boomer" that is also incorrect. I can still love this era of music/movies/pop culture through my older sister who showed me the amazing 80's!
Pfft born 83 here...honestly their early half of the Millennials shouldn't be tossed in with the millenials. There is a big tech change that was happening during that time. Id say enough of one to call for a generation split really.
@@MrRoryG Yeah, but you were too young to really experience the 1980s like us Gen Xers did. But I'm glad that you at least have some memories of the 80s.
And they have no idea. None. I've never won a thing in my life, but I did win the birth-year lottery, as I was able to live and love the 80s in all of their glory.
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.
