I was born in 81 and growing up in the 80’s was great, I preferred the 90’s the 2000’s were ok and since the 2010’s it’s been like falling off a high cliff. It keeps getting worse as time passes and I know at some point it’s all going to come to a screeching halt and I’ll be dead. But in the 80’s there was good music, kids cartoons were great and movies were great too with so many classic films that you can watch today and say that film made me feel good and I can watch it again and again where as films today are mainly disappointing and if there is one film that you enjoyed it doesn’t have the ability to make you rewatch it more than another 1 or 2 times like the Indiana Jones & Back To The Future trilogies or The Goonies, Ghostbusters plus many more movies. I could go on but you grew up in the 80’s so you know what I’m talking about and really the only bad things to come out in the 80’s was the fashion and the hair especially the hair! Also AIDS was a big bad thing in the 80’s but it never effected me or most kids growing up in the 80’s.

In 2022, it sounds bloody marvelous by todays standards. Yes, I was a musical snob at the time, but I never thought things could get as bad as they have now. Some exeptions granted.

I feel like we are in no position to complain about the 80s.

I was a teen/20 in the eighties.... loved it, loved that time so much.

Any year from the 80s beats anything this century has had to offer so far. The only good thing about the 21st century is the parts of social media where we can reminisce about past times, when things were more fun and exciting.

80's was a great decade for me, especially the music. The second British invasion.

Actually the 80's were pretty good for music, take out all that poppy crap they mentioned and you still have the two tone movement, bands like the Specials, Madness, the Beat etc., the Smiths turned music on its head, the Pogues arrived, XTC were at the top of their game, U2 were at their peak and never got better, female artists like Sade and Kirsty MacColl,..in America, REM arrived, the Replacements another..in Australia there was a sort of musical renaissance with Men at Work, Midnight Oil, Died Pretty, Mental as Anything and Nick Cave, all seriously good artists...there are heaps of good bands/solo artists from the 80's I haven't mentioned....nothing today comes close musically.

The 80's were a tremendously creative decade esp music wise esp in England. People were more alive and hanging out together,they would actually listen to you when you were speaking. Now it's "hmmm , yeah,I know" when you speak to a youngster cos he or she is fiddling with the fucking cell phone as you speak.. Bring back the 80's!!!

Really enjoyed this. It's not slating the whole era and saying it's so much worse than today, it's just a giggle at the obvious highlights ( convenient pun not intended! )

It's only a bit of a laugh

This is hilarious, pretty bang on.

Neil Morrisey’s own mullet back in the day made a very good argument for them. That’s how handsome he was.

I think the 80's was the best time to be alive, we lived for the moment, everything about it was amazing, wish we had Thatcher back too, she got bigger balls than any of our corrupt politicians today! If I could turn back time I would.

Swing out sister were great. The music of the 1980s had it all, originality, energy and humour.

However, at least in the 1980s we didn't have documentaries where clips were interspersed with people talking for three seconds and repeating what we had just seen on the screen.

Conspiracy! When I click on your 10 likes, instead of going to 11, it goes down to nine! SO I couldn't tell you that I agree, but I'm telling you now.

One thing that nevef changes, throughout the millenia, is how each generation mocks the one before them.

The best thing about the 80s was you knew which side you were on greed or caring about other people - simpler times

"DANCING WITH A MULLET TO DURAN DURAN 😂😂😂😂😂😂 FK I LOVED THE 80S

The smiths , the cure, the pixies,the stone roses, James , NEW ORDER, the chameleons etc, the ZX spectrum , CB radio , early channel four, the young ones , BMX , Warlock of firetop mountain, electro and hip hop, and for the record leave Howard Jones out of it , his dancer brought us BEZ and he was a great pop writer and musician , although it had been done with Stacia and Hawkwind in the 70s , the era brought us some fantastic things , but it was an era of make money fast

Fascinating that your comment has only two upvotes after two weeks when you're saying that the 80s weren't so bad after all. Most of the comments raging against the people in this video for damning their favourite decade are made by people who almost certainly despise the groups and cultural artefacts you mention. After all, the Pixies sound way more 90s than 80s. I agree that there was a lot of great stuff in the decade but virtually none of it was mainstream. These people actually liked Spandau Ballet and Howard Jones. Personally I think that the vast majority of 80s mainstream pop culture (music, film, fashion) was horrendous.

Russell Kane has no business commenting on how ridiculous mullets are 😂 Pot, meet kettle.

Geoffrey Palmer is the best person qualified to narrate this. Anyone else you wouldn’t listen to but Geoffrey has you smiling and (if you are as old as me) nodding.

Sadly Geoffrey is no longer with us, and we can not enjoy having him narrate other shows today.

@@johnking5174 I had the pleasure of meeting him in the Green Room at Wood Lane many years. A thoroughly polite and humble gentleman. He was totally engaging and didn’t allow any focus on himself but instead asked me about who I was. RIP Geoffrey. They don’t make ‘em like you anymore.

I loved the 80's. I sat in an ivory tower studying Logic and Metaphysics at Uni whilst Thatcher destroyed socialism, the Argies and Scargill. Happy days.

I had a good laugh at this. Thanks for posting!

Care free 80's was a great era for me loved all the different styles of music. So much fun

Such a negative, pessimistic take on the 80s.... I love it!

Great decade

Very unhappy people that hate their miserable lives in this

I loved the mid eighties 😀. I was an Estate Agent and earned a load of money. Went to night clubs 2 to 3 times a week. The women were well dressed, immaculate and spent time on big hair. I loved it ! Unfortunately, it disappeared in the early 1990 with the collapse of the property market. I changed careers and ended up as a painter and decorator. But I still loved my life in the 80’s. My life now has provided a trade I can always rely on. The career then was short lived.

The eighties - met my sole partner, went backpacking/motorcycled around Europe, Austraya wrenched that mug from the Yanks, married, became a dad (twice), bought my first house and who could forget the VCR.

I fucking wish I was around in the 80s. Much better than the 2010s.

so? Personally? I LOVED the 80's and my memories play to a great soundtrack. Loved the energy. Loved the style. Loved the fashion and a vast majority of the synth pop bands. Some tunes I've hated since first time I heard them but I wouldn't trade my 80's for anything.

I am so pleased that I grew up as a teenager in the 80's. Looking back on these years and smile. A peaceful decade compared to now. Maybe the bright outrageous outfits we were wearing, spoke louder.

It wasn't peaceful, depending on where you were in the world at the time but its always nice to hear someone with nice positive feelings of about the time.

They are all looking back with 20/20 hindsight, but at the time they probably thought it was all really neat

This seems to bring out the grumpy commenters - the Eighties WERE shit! This is not the grumpy guide to the Eighties, this is the real guide to the Eighties, free from all the nostalgic treacle that DJ's pour onto every Eighties track they play nowadays.
