More Than This - An 80's Tribute

  • MEA CULPA; YES, TERMINATOR 2 WAS 1991. DRACULA DEAD AND LOVING IT WAS 1995. THE HAPPY DAYS AND CHIPS CLIPS WERE FROM THE 80'S. THE DUKES CLIP MAY HAVE BEEN FROM THE 70'S. WHEN I ORIGINALLY DID THE VID IT WAS JUST FOR FUN (YOU REMEMBER FUN) AND I WAS GETTING LIKE 200 VIEWS. THIS LITTLE VID OF MINE DONE ON FREE SOFTWARE HAS NOT GOT OVER 400K IN VIEWS, AND I GET ZERO MONEY FROM IT.
    YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THE MISTAKES. IF YOU CAN'T THEN THIS VID AND MY CHANNEL ARE NOT FOR YOU. THIS IS WHAT IS ENTIRELY WRONG WITH THE WORLD TODAY. LIVE AND LET LIVE. HAVE FUN. IF NOT, SHUT UP, AND MOVE ON. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT IS THE GEN-X APPROACH.
    NOW PLEASE F'N ENJOY THE VID IN THE SPIRIT IT WAS MADE.
    The other night I was watching The Goldbergs and they used this song , "More Than This" by Roxy Music, featuring lead singer Bryan Ferry, and I thought, yep, have to do that song.
    So here is just a random selection of 80's nostalgia clips set to this great mood song of the 80's. Let''s face it, if there is one thing we have learned since we exited the 80's it's that, no there was nothing more than that.

    I was a teen in the 80’s and can appreciate now that I am in my early 50’s how lucky I was to experience this amazing decade minus all the ridiculous social influencers that are nothing more than empty-headed, self-entitled kids. I was able to just hang out with friends, go to the mall while not worried about school shootings, abductions or being put on meds because I was confused about my identity, was depressed, etc! I pity kids growing up now with so much against them. The 80’s ruled!

    Can’t beat the 1980s under Reagan country. It was a beautiful decade. This country was strong & things made sense. The movies were absolute gold. The toys. MTV. The clothes. The styles. The values. The simplicity. The lack of social media. Playing outside in the neighborhood. No one had to lock their doors. My grandparents being alive. Miss those days. Miss the 1980s.

      are you drunk? Reagan destroyed the middle class with his trickle-down economics... the first war in Afghanistan, the Cold War, AIDS, bad fashion (parachute pants, shoulder pads, Madonna), the "war" on drugs, racism & sexism were worse, and crime was actually a lot worse in the 80's. The BEST thing from the 80's was that we didn't have to deal with social media.

I felt the beginnings of independence then, the great music and movies, meeting my spouse - and Roxy Music’s More Than This, at the time I totally felt the truth of that song’s lyrics, and I cannot think of the 80s and that era without the memory of that song and so many others.

      Yes you’re right. Teens now will never misremember their teenage years as the best times in history like we do. I’m your age and while sentiment can often rise tint my own memories I am under no illusion that it was a perfect time. Kids have to worry about school shooters and we had to worry about the USSR bombing us at school. Maybe you had a dad who was a dentist or had a trust fund but I remember that horrible recession where my parents lost both of their jobs and we almost lost our house; we ate beans and rice for dinner nearly every night. My parents kept me fed but that’s when I learned I had to work if I wanted anything extra and to pay off both of my houses as soon as I could so they couldn’t take it.

    10 going on to 11 years old in 1980, 20 going on to 21 years old in 1990. What an absolute beautiful decade to grow up in. The summer's in Australia back then lasted forever. 1984 the best year of the 80's ever!!!! ❤❤❤

    As a 60's kid, I am so grateful that my two kids grew up in the 80's/90's. They ran the streets of San Francisco, hung at Pier 39 and The Exploratorium, had GG Park for a backyard. Most of all they are-to this day-still friends with all their peeps from that time. As they approach their 50's I am more thankful than ever that social media did not exist for them!

    I was at work recently and "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins came on the radio. I was telling all my 30 something associates that I still remember the firs time I heard that song I was in my late teens and watching a very dramatic episode of Miami Vice. And the impact those days made on me all came rushing back almost knocked me over. I guess we were all very fortunate to have lived through those amazing years. There was nothing like those days before or since.

    So grateful to have lived in the 80's whilst in my 20's. Such fond memories of everything we had, the music we listened to, the fun just hanging out with friends, the romances, the dances, the drive-in's, but best of all the music that was diverse yet fantastic. If I had to choose an era to go back to and stay forever it would be the 80's.

    Born in 1978, being a kid in the 1980's was the coolest!!!! We all felt free and could ride our bikes where ever we wanted, Halloween was packed full of kids on the streets. Our neighborhood would play night tag and go Christmas caroling. We lived right off of lake Erie Michigan so when the lake froze we would sake on it and even bring four wheelers/three wheelers. The 80's had it's own vibe to it; I miss that world so much!
