      I was born in 2000, and I have always been fascinated by the 80s since I was very young. I am not sure why, but the affinity I have towards that decade, one I wasn't even alive in, will always be a mystery to me. Maybe I was alive in the 80s in a past life?? Either way, your generation will never truly understand how lucky and good you had it. Pre-9/11, pre-economic crash, pre-covid, pre-goddamn-everything honestly. I'm sure it wasn't perfect, no time period is, but compared to now, holy fuck take me back please.
      I try not to be one of those "I was born in the wrong generation!" types, but I can't help it when it comes to the 80s, y'all just had it too damn good. Try to take it easy on us youngin's, we grew up in a very weird time, that is why we are the way we are. We'll never know life before the 21st century, but it seemed pretty damn fun

    This was probably filmed in December 1987 or very early January 1988 (as it's Christmas time) and is filmed on 35mm. It looks amazing and is the best snapshot of the Sunset Strip in the 1980's I've seen, as the quality of the recording (for the time) is perfect.
