Jams, Shark watches, Converse super high tops you fold down with different colors and striped socks, and all we did was play outside. You saw so many kids out back then, now most are inside.
I was 8 when this was taken,,,, people who weren't around pre Internet and cell phone will never understand what they missed out on......id trade all the years I have left for just a couple good 88's
Yeah does years looked fun and amazing to be in instead of wasting my time on my phone and video games I would’ve been playing outside hanging outside with friends
I started kindergarten in 1988. I found this video because I'm always searching for videos from the 80s and 90s. It's like opening a time capsule from my childhood years.
I find it so awesome to look at these videos. It's like looking through a magic looking glass backwards in time. Imagine if you could watch videos from 1000 years ago.
2000 to 2010 wasnt as big of a jump as it had been 1970 to 1980 and 1980 to 1990, etc. and 2010 to 2020 now seems even slower. It was the rise of technology and since 2000 we have been slowing down, 70 to 00 the tech jump was so huge it literally changed how life was lived.
Yeah the decade styles (music, fashion) usually overlap the 3 years of the previous decade. The early 70s had alot of folk music left over from the late 60s. So 1966 - 1974 could be like one decade. 1977/8 - 1983 have alot in common. When people think of the 80s they usually reference things from 1984 - 1987 period (fashion music tv movies). 1984 is when the 80s seemed to have officially started prior to that there was aloy of throwback from the late 70s. This video for example is from 1988 and it looks very early 90s more so than 80s. These kids style and look resemble 1990 more than 1984. 1987/88 - 1993 are one distinct period. The 90s also had 2 very distinct periods one from 93 - 97 and the other 97 - 2003 with the Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Nsync pop music culture. There's lots of gray areas and certain times of the year will overlap with previois or following years but you get the idea. A high schooler from 1990 or 1991 would have more in common with someone from 1988 than a high schooler from 1999 (and 99 more in common with 2001) even though they tehically attended school in the same decade.
@im married to my child I disagree when people think of Britney Spears they think of Nsync and when they think of Nsync they think of Backstreet Boys. The late 90s carried over into the early 2000s because by 2003 those boy band pop groups BSB, Nsync, 98 degrees, Britney, Christina, Jessica Simpson, Mandy Moore etc had seriously wanned in popularity. Go to any of their videos all you'll see is how people miss the "90s". I get what youre saying that its very late 90s but it still defines the 90s in peoples minds instead of the 2000s. Backstreet Boys started in 1996. Spice Girls started even earlier. And even earlier than that if you count NKOTB which orginated in the 80s but is considered a early 90s group. That bubblegum pop is firmly rooted in the 90s with its origin and carried over into the early 2000s. By 2002 there was a shift away from bubblegum pop and by 2003 it was nearly gone. The nineties covers a real spectrum of music from grunge to gangster rap to rock bands to bubblegum pop.
Thank you for the videos, Gilbert. I'm a little older than you and moved from Boston to Orange County in the 80's. I was only there for about a year, but loved California, especially the weather. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if I stayed in Orange County. Again, thank you for the look back to the past. Also, just subscribed.
I was born in October 1992 and this is nice to see what those old decades were like. No phone and all that. I'm curious about the style of hair and the wide clothing haha. thanks for sharing !
I feel like the styles people wore at this school were uniquely SoCal compared to other high school videos I've seen from this year. There's more of a skater or punk vibe to a lot of the clothes and there are fewer perms, but lots of big bangs with straighter hair!
These videos feel nostalgic and the closest thing to these cameras I have ever seen was a sony handycam. I always keep a place in my heart for these old machines. Hopefully I'll buy an old 90s or 80s camcorder sometime.
I would to go back in time someday to lived in the 70s, 80s, 90s & early 2000s. Without technology & no social media’s. 2010s & this new decades are the worst.
I would love to find a video like this in the state I was actually born in because California was so different than where I grew up! Thanks for the upload!
Still wondering, "how did I get here". I've been watching these videos by Gilbert too. Amazing that you captured your life and overcame some struggles and loving every about life now
I was 16 in 1988, so I can completely relate to everything we were so fortunate to have growing up during the 70's and 80's. The coverage you got in your videos of the 80's is absolutely priceless!! You're one of the few if not the only person literally on UA-cam w/ such extensive amount of coverage of the golden era!! I don't know what possessed you to spend so much time doing something during a time in our lives which was considered almost bizarre and mundane, but thank you!!! The cars, the hairstyles, the music... PRICELESS!!!
88 was the year I graduated high school in Chicago. I love watching this shit. Brings back so many good memories. Thanks for sharing!! Who would have known that thousands of people would be watching VHs recording!!
Totally aweome ! The Best times were late 80s and early 90s. So great and nostalgic. Kids borned in 2000s and later have all missed best times période. Poor Kids !
I was born 5 months and 14 days later this same year in 88. It was so much better back then the 80s and 90s. Even though i was born in 88, my high school days from the mid 200s and shit even my college days were wack. If only i was born in the mid 70s. This generation of mine is trash. Good video dude.
@GILBERT A I an so glad as a young teen you with your hobbies, love, or passion to record. I'm not sure what it was maybe all or the above. I have seen less than a dozen of your videos but I do watch more as I can, this is a great documentary of history you captured. I wish someone at my High School would have done the same. 3:20 Funny thing the only thing that did not change over time is cats/animals, but the people, buildings, clothing and vehicles have changed.
Another good one. I think I'm about a year younger than you Gilbert. I'm still in West Covina, though I went to graduate school in San Francisco so I lived there for a while. I didn't go to public school though. I went to Don Bosco in Rosemead. Drove there every morning. I think I know the streets you were driving on in this video. It looks like you were on Woodgate Drive, but I'm not totally sure, if not that street, then probably on one of the streets in the Shadow Oak area. Then it looks like you may be on Azusa Ave. It's funny to see the bus blowing up smoke; they're all electric around here now. Plymouth dealership ... that's extinct now. Where's that Lisa Coffee Shop? I'm not familiar with it. Gilbert, it's like you are Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown in Back to the Future, taking us to see how the Puente Hills Mall, West Covina, and Covina, and more was back 30 years. Thanks for sending us back and making us feel like teens again. You may have no idea how nice a treat this is for a lot of us. They probably teased you for carrying such a huge camera around but I bet everyone would in your videos who sees them will have a great big smile on their faces.
WOWWWWW this video was made Exactly 8 years before I was BORN!!!??? My parents weren't even married yet!!! That shit is sooo fucking crazy! Goddamn!! May 10th 1988??? That is INCREDIBLE how all that life was going on without me present hahaha like that is unbelievable! This isn't a movie or TV, this is real life!
Gilbert Arciniega it's mind boggling how shit just went on. I find it insulting how life carried on with out my ass even being thought off. A baby will be born a week from now and people are living doing their thing! Now this footage is 29 y/o!? Just wow.....
@DaOld You are one sick little puppy. Not only did the world exist before that particular portion of your anatomy came into existence, but it was a much better place.
we didnt have SJW's back then, or if they were they didnt voice it they were quiet. It was sports kids who were king, cheerleaders were there girlfriends and popular, and being a nerd was a bad thing you were picked on for. The group in the middle were just normal and didnt bother anyone just had fun.
@@davidca96 Are we seriously getting through the whole "SJW" boogeyman again? 🙄 Just so you know there were literally many states during this time that still legalized oppressing minorities so I don't think the "offending" was invalid.
This is Patrick Walters. I attended Northview Highschool during this year. We won the football championship in 1988 against Los Altos. Michael Hollowell and I were two of the best looking black guys in the school. We rolled around in his all black muscle car bumping EPMD. I lived like a king with the Charbonrau family. Greg Charbonrau was like my brother. Greg's dad bought a white Limo and he use to take me to school every day. Felt like "Different Strokes." Mario Tapia, Eddie Frijo, Erick Kline Venessa Galindo, Mike Galindo, Carla Wicks, so many good people to remember. I was a Jr. During 1988. I left to go back to Los Angeles to attend Manual Arts Highschool. I was known for doing backflips and breakdancing. Those were the days. Later in life I continue break dancing and touring with Jurassic 5. I also attended Las Palmas middle school. I remember beating Cory Nocatoni in a wrestling match which he said because of my Jerry curled hair is why I won. Lol. Those were the days. Truth.
I have to point out one thing American culture puts too much emphasis on how people were in high school....it's your life after high school that truly counts.
This is awesome. You literally had in mind that soon off thi gs like the cars and schools, and ma y more other things were gonna change in the next couple of years! Awesome videos! I wish i got to see the 80s! But sadly i was born in the 2000s, its a nice way to look at how life was nack in its time
Wow I was only 8 back then. I thought high school Seniors were such old adults back then 🤷 The 80's were definitely very cool I must say. For one, I was kid enjoying life back then and two, there was so much cool stuff out there like movies, music, and t.v. shows, in particular. I was not from this area though. Seems like they were having good times, too. 35 years ago....wow
LOL! I was not anything of popular. But I sure liked attention! And it was problematic to get attention since I was way too shy! So I naturally did what I can to "earn" the kind of attention I want! The only ways that helped me was to own (and "show off) anything that is DIFFERENT! And I would love the "temporary" attention. But I had to keep "showing off" my cool stuff time after time to "maintain" the temporary attention. Since I just could NOT break out of my shyness! This included a few one of a kind shirts, my Elite 150 scooter, and ULTIMATELY my $1000 camcorder! I tell ya! Back in my day, when I first got my camcorder,. I COULD NOT WAIT to show it off to everybody, haha. BUT in reality, it was a BIG hope for me to get people coming to me and talking to me and make me feel "special" and even HOPES to even earn a girlfriend. THAT WAS ME and my hopes! BUT the thing is, being too shy PREVENTED me from ever getting what I wanted. Apparently showing my cool stuff only HELPed. But could not get me what I wanted. hahahahaha. True though. IF I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK IN TIME, I WOULD TELL MYSELF: "MAN, YOU NEED SNAP OUT OF YOUR SHYNESS, you won't get anywhere if you don't!"
@@fueledbymusic3 yea I was shy too, had little friends in highschool, no gf, so I kinda know what you mean, but I wish I had a 1000 dollar camcorder back in my times...
@@fueledbymusic3 I'm pretty sure if you did over come your shyness you would have been known more popularity is overrated anyways I rather have real friends than fake ones also I had a whole bunch of girls that liked me but I was to shy to say something so I feel you on that
Had i not seen the date i would have assumed this was the early 90s. Decades styles are grouped different. The last 3 years of the decade and the first 3 are usually the same. Example 77 - 83, 87 - 93, 97 - 2003.
Quick question, does anyone have the 1987 Northview vs Covina game? ( NV) won CIF that year. It was on cable, and was a blowout 56-0 (NV). Covina's football archive of games was wiped put in a fire in the locker room/ coaches offices in the late 80's early 90's..
If I was going to say whether I liked life then vs now. I would have to say, I like life better now. Because of all the things I can do now vs then. Technology speaking. For instance: If I wanted a specific song, I had to either wait for radio to play it or going and buy the LP record. Today, we just go to youtube. And not to mention the great improvement of today's electronics. Like a 1080p video camera on your phone, vs the BIG bulky $2000 VHS camera. If not talking about technology, back then I complained about lack of love life and feeling unwanted by the "peers". TODAY, this is no longer an issue. (on that aspect). So all in all, I have to say. I like life now than I did then
The most mudane hour of life is now a national treasure. You don't know what you did back then, but you were way ahead of your time.
to be honest i was born in ‘05, and i don’t know why this seems so oddly nostalgic to me. the 80s must’ve of have been one hell of a decade…
same :')
Lol ur deluded
Born in 99 and I feel the same way 😂😂
If you don't remember it, it can't be nostalgic. You're just delusional lol
ahhhh the 80s, camaros, big hair, mullets and full bush!
This is still going on the Chicago bro
Forgot shoulder pads women wore, men wore air Jordans.
Jams, Shark watches, Converse super high tops you fold down with different colors and striped socks, and all we did was play outside. You saw so many kids out back then, now most are inside.

Full bush? Whats that
I was 8 when this was taken,,,, people who weren't around pre Internet and cell phone will never understand what they missed out on......id trade all the years I have left for just a couple good 88's
Yeah does years looked fun and amazing to be in instead of wasting my time on my phone and video games I would’ve been playing outside hanging outside with friends
Just wait til the next Carrington event. It will wipe out all electronics. It'll be glorious.
@@PrimericanIdol god I hope it happens soon 👍🏻
This is so insane to watch.. im a senior at Northview at the moment and i find this so cool !
Hows it look now

And now you are likely a senior or graduated from college! Time flies...

You grew up in a hell of a decade man
I started kindergarten in 1988. I found this video because I'm always searching for videos from the 80s and 90s. It's like opening a time capsule from my childhood years.
I find it so awesome to look at these videos. It's like looking through a magic looking glass backwards in time. Imagine if you could watch videos from 1000 years ago.
Thanks for posting the video -- I was class of '81 at Northview; those classrooms bring back memories.
The random things you find on the net...
Blast from the past. Class of 90 here. I remember a ton of the people in this vid. Thanks for posting.
KNEEYOLO do you still talk to them to this day ?
it really seems like the world is changing every 10years, from 1970 to 79 and 1980 to 89 etc.. you could notice the difference
True we are at the end of this decade . 2010 is sure different from 2018.
Even now the style is so much different from the early 2000s to the 2010s
2000 to 2010 wasnt as big of a jump as it had been 1970 to 1980 and 1980 to 1990, etc. and 2010 to 2020 now seems even slower. It was the rise of technology and since 2000 we have been slowing down, 70 to 00 the tech jump was so huge it literally changed how life was lived.

I have been watching videos like these to "accidentally" find my doppelganger...and begin my time machine project once i find...me..
I wish I would have filmed my young days, I was 19 in 1988....good stuff!
These videos feel nostalgic and the closest thing to these cameras I have ever seen was a sony handycam. I always keep a place in my heart for these old machines. Hopefully I'll buy an old 90s or 80s camcorder sometime.
Make sure it's in fresh working condition.
I would to go back in time someday to lived in the 70s, 80s, 90s & early 2000s. Without technology & no social media’s. 2010s & this new decades are the worst.
Shut up same shit was said about the fucking 90s now You nostalgioids want to go back
I would love to find a video like this in the state I was actually born in because California was so different than where I grew up! Thanks for the upload!
that school food looks so much better back then
Nowadays I just walk around school with my friends and everywhere I look I see ppl hitting their juuls and on their phones💀
This is why I chose to only use my phone for a minimum. If I’m out and about I limit it only for the necessity of contacting someone.
Feels like everyone can't wait for the future
Yet Gilbert is just living life as it comes
Awesome 👍
Still wondering, "how did I get here". I've been watching these videos by Gilbert too. Amazing that you captured your life and overcame some struggles and loving every about life now
I was born on June, 6th 1988. Around the time that this was made. Thanks for posting this historical footage.

I feel ya i was also 17 in 88. I was at Leuzinger High in Lawndale . Best years of my life
You mean lose a finger?!
No one back then pitched a fit when being filmed. I KNOW MY RIGHTS!!! YOU CAN'T VIDEO ME IN PUBLIC!! I'M CALLING THE POLICE!!
Mostly the difference is people nowadays know that any digital video can immediately be uploaded and viewed by millions.

What are you talking about? I didn’t see anything.
the dab originated in the 80s . PRince and Madonna can be seen doing this in their performances. Look up Madonna's music video "Dress you up "
u made a wise choice by buying a camcorder bac then..i was 3 years old in 1988...i think 80s n 90s were d evergreen decades to live..

I wish i got to see the 80s! But sadly i was born in the 2000s, its a nice way to look at how life was nack in its time
Wow I was only 8 back then. I thought high school Seniors were such old adults back then 🤷 The 80's were definitely very cool I must say. For one, I was kid enjoying life back then and two, there was so much cool stuff out there like movies, music, and t.v. shows, in particular. I was not from this area though. Seems like they were having good times, too. 35 years ago....wow
I keep waiting for Lou Diamond Phillips from Stand and Deliver to walk by 🤣🤣🤣
The best part of this video is that no one is txting or on they’re phone. Omg lol
Exactly so refreshing to see.
I was born July 7th 1988.
Hey gil, were you popular in highschool? Or was it the video recorder that got you the attention? No offense? Just wondering
LOL! I was not anything of popular. But I sure liked attention! And it was problematic to get attention since I was way too shy! So I naturally did what I can to "earn" the kind of attention I want! The only ways that helped me was to own (and "show off) anything that is DIFFERENT! And I would love the "temporary" attention. But I had to keep "showing off" my cool stuff time after time to "maintain" the temporary attention. Since I just could NOT break out of my shyness! This included a few one of a kind shirts, my Elite 150 scooter, and ULTIMATELY my $1000 camcorder! I tell ya! Back in my day, when I first got my camcorder,. I COULD NOT WAIT to show it off to everybody, haha. BUT in reality, it was a BIG hope for me to get people coming to me and talking to me and make me feel "special" and even HOPES to even earn a girlfriend. THAT WAS ME and my hopes! BUT the thing is, being too shy PREVENTED me from ever getting what I wanted. Apparently showing my cool stuff only HELPed. But could not get me what I wanted. hahahahaha. True though. IF I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK IN TIME, I WOULD TELL MYSELF: "MAN, YOU NEED SNAP OUT OF YOUR SHYNESS, you won't get anywhere if you don't!"
This sounds like a good subject for my next vlog! NICE! thanks for the idea!
@@fueledbymusic3 yea I was shy too, had little friends in highschool, no gf, so I kinda know what you mean, but I wish I had a 1000 dollar camcorder back in my times...
@@fueledbymusic3 I'm pretty sure if you did over come your shyness you would have been known more popularity is overrated anyways I rather have real friends than fake ones also I had a whole bunch of girls that liked me but I was to shy to say something so I feel you on that
back then kids did everything to get away from the camera, today they'll do anything to get in front of it
That’s true , hahaha
Mad magazine's!! I used to collect those mags.💙 @ 0.21
Haha thats cool. HAA HA creeping on girls thats classic
They would never allow me to record at school.
Dude, this is great. Thanks for uploading this. Notice how there's no smartphones and no one is obese. ????? Everyone just seems happier
I bet the 80’s kids missed this who were born missed these good old time’s
Aye Gilbert how many time's you've seen the Berakfast Club hahah
Gilbert these videos are Priceless man and by the way do you keep in touch with any of your classmates
pdblade99 Why thank you! Sadly, I had not seen any of them since those days. I was not anything of popular.
@@fueledbymusic3 what was up Dennis butt.
32:50.... the Pledge of Allegiance is rarely done in high school these days.
I support the American Pledge of Allegiance and it should be continous.
the 80s was the time republicans controlled most of america while now were in democrat control and they don't want us to pledge to the flag
Im curious as too how long did school semesters normally last in the 80s. Nowadays it’s usually the last week of May or first week of June
Not everyone in the 80s knew kung fu as the movies would leave you to believe.
88 was my 1st year of high school. Rubidoux HS Riverside.
Yo. What happened to the ceiling fan?
I wonder whatever happened to those two boys fighting lol, where are they now 🤔
Had i not seen the date i would have assumed this was the early 90s. Decades styles are grouped different. The last 3 years of the decade and the first 3 are usually the same. Example 77 - 83, 87 - 93, 97 - 2003.
There will be people who say at you (or me) the following: "Who cares?"
I drive by this, I think, to go to W. Covina hockey. Pretty sure it's exactly the same now as it was then.
Flashback in the 80's
You had that Twinkie today you could still eat it...I'm telling yeah.
Do you still talk to those guys?
6:00 looks like Mike Myers in Wayne’s World 😂
Lol 😂
I was born this year, what a time to be alive 1988
The teachers and students all look like the ones In my highschool in 1988🤣
Quick question, does anyone have the 1987 Northview vs Covina game? ( NV) won CIF that year. It was on cable, and was a blowout 56-0 (NV). Covina's football archive of games was wiped put in a fire in the locker room/ coaches offices in the late 80's early 90's..
I can see where you get that hairstyle, Wayne's World type hair. Haha the 80s in America would've been a time to be.
I got the same fan as at 0:17 and it's still working. I don't believe it. is this a coincident?
I went to Rincon intermediate school in 1985 it was such a nice time in this era
Haha remember the plancha, gangsterr's #1 tool. oh yeah the MAD's magazine the only interesting thing about it is how to fold it.
estaran vivas estas personas? 😭
Gilbert, did u live over by Lucky (near Aroma dr.)? Did you ride ur bike from there to Northview every day?
This reminds me of my grandma’s house, i miss her
I love the 80s
Hi Gilbert why the two guys where fighting?👊🏻
oh yeah. you noticed. lol. If I can remember, one was upset about the other gossiping about him.
@@fueledbymusic3 Was where El Polo Loco is now still there in that strip mall?
Cause '88.
Did you like life better back then? Man, what I wouldn't give to live in the 80s.
If I was going to say whether I liked life then vs now. I would have to say, I like life better now. Because of all the things I can do now vs then. Technology speaking. For instance: If I wanted a specific song, I had to either wait for radio to play it or going and buy the LP record. Today, we just go to youtube. And not to mention the great improvement of today's electronics. Like a 1080p video camera on your phone, vs the BIG bulky $2000 VHS camera.
If not talking about technology, back then I complained about lack of love life and feeling unwanted by the "peers". TODAY, this is no longer an issue. (on that aspect).
So all in all, I have to say. I like life now than I did then
I actually like the 70's the best out of any decade so far
+Bob Silver dang your fuckin
old then
+Gilbert Arciniega yes, sure life is better these days days because technology is more efficient, but I just hate how people USE them sometimes.
