Yes. That and anachronisms are what bug me about TV and movies set in the decade. It's like they exaggerated 1984 and 1987 and throw them together. Kids in high schools were rather subdued anyway, especially this time which has to be no later than early 1984.

I graduated high school in 89. I’m surprised the decade has become so beloved. I had a great time. We had our positives and negatives but I do think the youth were happier. The Information Age and technology nowadays is absolutely amazing. The only problem is too many youth are lost in it, identify too much with it and it encourages separation and loneliness. If you’re part of this generation, do your best to limit social media, PlayStation and live in this world like we used to. If you do, you’ll have everything we did and much, much more. It’s really up to you where you live your life.

I think a substantial problem with loneliness in modern day stems from systemic issues, particularly around the way infrastructure and cities are designed. Youth enjoy spending time with one another, and oftentimes technology can actually enhance that experience. But with the increasing amount of city planning around roads rather than walkable cities with expansive public transportation, it makes it difficult for people to spend time in person. It also does not help that the public school system has become so obsessed with testing culture, preparing students for the SAT and ACT, rather than allowing them to enjoy their time in school. By the time I graduated, having 4+ hours of homework per night was not uncommon, and that level of workload on students is not conducive to a healthy social life. Certain forms of social media are genuinely quite damaging, though a lot of people will play games or watch television shows as a social activity.

Nothing but good vibes from every single person, unlike today.

Back then it mostly was our tapes/CDs stereo some books/magazines, a push bike to explore places and the family TV set. Definitely no 24hr news cycle. And content (as people like to call it today) seemed more original in what we listened watched and read. Today culture seems all over the place fragmented as well as compressed in its life cycle with so many things vying for people's attention.

I hate that grown men now days always carry a backpack.

It was a wonderful time to be alive. Such things as school being different, hanging with friends on some arcade places trying to get the high score, revolutionary electronics, Saturday cartoons, how most toys were based from those shows, music was somehow better than what late 2010s had to offer, movies were different & most of all people trusted one another. I know a bunch of this even born in early Y2K. I believe that I was reincarnated because at a young age, I still grew up with late 90s pieces. Most of it being the n64, ps1 & a bunch of stuff recorded in vhs. As time passed, I double thought some stuff that I saw & kept thinking why is all of this seems familiar? & this was before having fake nostalgia was a thing online. When I bring conversations about the 80s, I think of having the old friends I had. We cared for each other, had fun together. Although there could've been some mild drama, we end up patching things together. But something that triggers me is the thought of losing them. Yesterday, I was going through some memory lane, the 80s. Something I can't describe broke me in tears. Almost as if I've experienced this before & the situation was too familiar. When I put that on the modern people, I was concerned of I was going to lose them again. A question I have is how did I died back then? There had to be something that went wrong & how I was born in Y2K. One conclusions is maybe I sacrificed myself just for everyone to stay alive. When I was a toddler, growing up with previous decade stuff was almost as if I'm remembering or getting my old memory back. It's not 100% confirmed but it's a strong believe I had since sometime in mid 2010 or late 2000s.

Nobody had their head down looking at a phone while ignoring the world around them, no black hoodies up hanging over their face as they walk slouched over, kids are actually talking to each other. Just imagine, having a face to face conversation with a real person. Todays kids could learn a lot from watching this 3+ minute video.

Ok boomer. It’s actually not. Old people always think the younger generations are greedy lazy and selfish because they forgot what they were like when they were young that they were the EXACT SAME WAY. Aristotle said that the youth in Ancient Greece were lazy selfish bastards with their heads down reading books and not doing physical activity. Humans are just humans old people always are afraid of young people.

could learn what exactly. 80s teens would be exactly the same as todays children if they were under the current technology and crisis circumstances. and i’m sure older people back them complained about kids not being “proper” like they were in the 50s.

I was born in 1991 was a kid in the 90’s wish I was a teenager back then would have been awesome 😎 love 80’s horror movies 🎥 and 80’s music I had a dream a few years ago I time traveled back to the 80’s wearing my clothes and people were all staring at me asking who’s that guy it was awesome..

Two qualities that made the 1980s truly unique from any other point of time in history. Hope and Optimism. The 1980s did have a lot of problems in the real world but people during that time had two important qualities that truly made the 1980s feel magical and truly special and no matter how bad things got or how bad things seemed to be there was always light at the end of the dark tunnel. Hope and optimism is what made that time unique and still one of the greatest in human history. People felt like they could do anything and because they could. Their culture reflected that with movies, songs, and lifestyles. Dreams did some true because kids, teens, and young adults in the 1980s had hope and optimism two of the best of humanity's qualities that went away afterward.... it makes me sad to always realize that, but watching these videos always gives me hope and positivity. I hope someday that humanity can regain those qualities that bring out the best in people. 😊

I think that's wildly overestimating. I'm guessing from the clothes and hair that this was approx. 1986. So, if they were age 15-16 in 1986, they are about 52 now, in 2022.

great days

Honestly, guys. I love the 80's and I'm sure they were great. But looking at some comments people make it seem like nowdays everything is shit and all the people are trash. Kids still hang out after school. They still go out and talk to each other. I don't know how old ya'll are but I assure you that we teenagers have friends, lives of our own, and just because we use phones doesn't mean we lock ourselves in our rooms and never interact with the world. And if your kids do that, maybe the problem is how you educated them lol Because my parents always thought me the importance of going out, spending time together, and not let social media control our life, and I came out great! Sure, our years have their flaws, a lot. But I'm 100% sure if you asked teenagers in the 80's what they thought of their time period they would have answered that it sucked. Because teenagers are teenagers, and they struggle with friends, parents and school regardless of the year they come from. I don't know about you, but when I go to school in the morning I never use my phone. I stop to talk with my friends outside of school. And when I get out, I walk to the station with those same friends and chat with them some more. When I want to hang out, I call them and ask if they want to take a walk with me or something. And yes, they show up. I know, crazy. Do I spend some time on social media? Yes, and probably more than some. Does that mean I never go out and never do anything else? Absolutely not! I don't know why you all have such a terrible perception of teenagers of today, but we are just kids. And for the record, shitty people existed in the 80's too. Just because they don't show up in recordings that doesn't mean everyone was pure, innocent and sweet. Bulling existed back then, drugs existed, criminals existed and yes, school shootings happened in the 90's too, since I saw someone in the comments say that "no one dreamt of bringing a gun in a school". Oh, and homophobia was very present in the 80's, just look it up. The 2000 are shitty, I know, but that doesn't mean we have to idealize the previous time periods.

Don't fret. Most of these people are looking at the past through a filter of denial. The 80s were just as sh***y, but in different ways. Most of my friends, and I, were "latchkey kids". We had horrible, abusive step parents. The Education System that was telling us our lives were pointless, because everything would be completely changed by technology, and we weren't being prepared for it (the latter was true). Almost every student was abusing alcohol/drugs (kids actually transferred TO my school, for the parties). Reagan had us perched on the brink of Nuclear Armageddon. Cities were ultra-violent, especially for kids. Fauci was telling us that we were all going to get Herpes 2 and AIDS if we ever had sex. We didn't, really, have anything to do but get high and have sex, because after school programs and extra-curriculars were being shut down (because some kids were being 'naughty", and Republicans didn't believe in spending money on schools)... Come to think of it, things aren't that different. And like now, we had fun, we made the best out of what we had, and we grew into adults. Of course, Gen X is still being shit on by Boomers, and now, Millennials as well, but we live our lives, think about the good and bad of the past and present, and hope we raised our Gen Z children to be better than us. And watch the Boomers and Millennials screw everything up worse than ever before.

@@emmarae4322 Hi! I can see your point, and I understand that I don't have the means to judge how society was back then. But I assure you that society now (at least in my limited experience) is not that bad. What you said about me not being able to actually know how it was because I wasn't there is true, but it works both ways: you can't assume to know how kids and teens act and interact nowdays if you're not experiencing it first hand. There's a whole world that adults will never be able to see, as I'm sure there was for teens back then too. I just think it's a bit unfair that a lot of people reduce us to "phone addicted" and that's it, while we're still young, still teenagers, and we like to hang out, be with friends, do activities together and more. Just because we have technology doesn't mean our lives revolve around it. But anyways, thanks for showing me your point of view^^ Good day!
