When we were living in the 80's, things seemed so bright and futuristic. Cars, gadgets, watches yiu name it. We couldn't wait for the future to arrive and see what was next. Now we're in the future, and i, for one, want to go back to the 80's!

Born exactly in 1980, for me this was the best decade of all. Our generation has seen a little of everything. We saw everything from Atari to PS5, from vinyl records to Spotify, from floppy disks to cloud files, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of the internet, the birth of smartphones. The younger ones will forgive me, but we in the 70s, 80s and 90s saw the best transformations in the world.

I was born in '82 and although it was the first 8 years of my life,..it's sometimes difficult to relate strongly with the decade. The 90s was the decade that I came into my own. 3rd grade all the way to Freshman year of college. The 80s impact is most probably on a subconscious level and will impact me from early childhood forever.
Born in the 70's so lucky to have my teenage years in the 80's. A really exciting time to grow up. So much change with music and fashion. Having to meet people to socialise. Everything seemed exciting and colourful.
Born in 1970, childhood in the 70s, teenage years in the 80s, college and clubs in the 90s. First thing I'm going thank God for giving me. The time period I was born... it was perfect.

I'm 43, grew up in the 80's and 90's, obviously. This is such a great mix. Not over the top like other's try, who don't understand the mystique of 80's tunes.

Im glad i was born in '64, and was a teen in the 80s. It was our time, and the best time. We all got along no matter who we were or where we came from, or what we listened to, we were just us.
@@GalacticDrive It was alot better in the 80s. Like i said most everyone where i lived got along in school. We all treated us like family. I guess thats what i loved about the town i lived in, and the school i went to.
I was born in 1971. Music from the 1980s can be divided into early 80s and later 80s. Later 80s was much more like pop music; the early 80s was the classic synthwave sound. This video truly captures the synthesizer-driven music of the early 80s that was so magical and different from the 1970s-era music that preceded it. Synthwave reflected the spirit of the 1980s: technology and forward-looking optimism.
I miss leg warmers under miniskirts, big hair, and skintight Jordache jeans. I even find myself thinking nostalgically about those godawful rabbit fur jackets.
@@robertdaone Hi, Yes, yes it was. It Was a lot quieter, over here in the UK that is. Men & women seemed to be better looking ( the women especially). No political correctness, no woke. Seemed as well that different ethnic groups got on better in the 80's, because it came from the heart, whereas now being "racist" is a criminal act ( although racism is evil) but still! Even though the 80's like any other decade wasn't perfect, everything was done from the ❤️ back then,
@@robertdaoneyou know I use to love ( well I can say that now) walking down certain streets in my home town over here, but not now! Not that they're dangerous or anything, but they sparkled in the 80's when we were teenagers. In fact believe it or not the Streets were more dangerous in the 80's, but it was a different kind of danger, as you only got a right royal kicking, whethers now, you can get stabbed or killed, but getting a kicking was way more frequent than the latter ( hard to explain, I know, but one had to have been there to know why?) Me thinks it had, & has to do with CCTV. There wasn't much in the way of materialism, and money. Was at a happy medium. Anyway that's my bit on the 80's.
Born in 1978, a child of the 80's, a rebel (teen years) in the 90's. As I remember most of the 90's on a more conscious level, it is the 80's that has made an impact to me. Whenever I hear 80's music, it automatically takes me back into a "non-specific memory" but more of like a "feeling" of bitter-sweet childhood emotions where everything was pure, simple and happy. 80's will always be the best, where everyone was awesome and cool. 80's will always have an unbreakable bond in my heart until my dying days. Music like these, it's transcendental. You're a genius man! Thanks for this.
I reported for Basic Training and AIT at Fort Benning, Georgia on June 6 1980. That was the decade that decided we had missed an entire 2 cycles of development in arms and armor, and damn didn't they give us the best - the M1 Abrams, Kevlar Helmets and body armor, the M16A2 rifle, the M204 SAW, the Bradley AFV...all to the score of DEVO, Flock of Seagulls, Nena (99 Luftbalons) Prince, Blondie, Sugar Hill Gang...cyberpunk before it was cyberpunk. Loved it.
I work an office job downtown where I live - let me tell you this is a complete vibe for being productive, positive energy and just completely enjoying yourself. Happy Monday!
I became an adult in 1990 so some of the best years of my childhood and all my teen years were in the 1980s. I miss those times a lot, the people, my family, my home, those old places that don't exist anymore, and the pop culture and prosperity and optimism that made that decade so awesome. Life is still good now but I'll always miss those days. Then again, as an adult, I can choose to relive a lot of the 1980s - and I get to make it so that it's only the good parts! Thank you so much for this awesome music that takes me back there again ...
80's was magic and I agree. Only thing to worry about back then was a cold war but there was allot of peace everywhere except Africa. Now everything is falling apart.
Was 4 to 13 I miss those days. 90's were good but it wasn't the 80's. You were at the perfect age for the 80's. Would have loved to spend my high school years at the end of the 80's but those were the early to mid 90's for me.
Definitely brings back the fun memories of the 1980s - arcade tokens, wandering the woods and drainage tunnels till nightfall with your friends, rotary phones to call your folks, and Saturday morning cartoons!
If life feels too complicated right now, let this music simplify things, even if just for a moment. It’s the little things that matter. 🎶🌱 Leave a 🌱 if you find solace here!
Ah the 80s when you came home from school, got changed and went straight back again. Nobody knew where we were and we always went back home when we were hungry.
Yeah, no mobile phones, no social media. When you had real actual physical friends you hung around with all the time round someone's house. - and yeah the irony that we're listening to this via social media is not lost. Back in the day I'd have simply given you a tape to copy ;-)
I'm just glad I realized in the 80's that it was a special decade while it was happening. I'm genuinely sad for people who didn't get to live during that time.
Gonna be the ancient one here: born in 1960, the 80's were so wide open alive, music could be chill & not frantic and so could we.....it was the best time to be young & fearless. Thx for your mix--it's like a shot of Everclear to my soul 💙
That's great to hear! Happy the music brings back some good ole memories. It's the aim of the channel 😃 Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it!
I'm often reminded of this quote from the movie Strange Days. "Wanna know how I know it's the end of the world? Because nothing is new, we've already done everything." What we need is a new frontier of some kind.
Pre-ancient then. Born 1957. LOL. I remember when we all thought the synthesizer music was so cool. It was a new thing. Still cool when done right. We are lucky to have experienced so many decades and genres of music first hand.
Hey Bluesioux I was born in July 61. I spent the 80s from 19-29yrs old spent ENTIRE 80s while in Army. What a great time for our music. I like the fact that 60s and 70s music was still popular also. ANY TIME I hear 80s music I get nostalgic and want to go back if only for the music. GREAT BANDS GREAT MUSIC AND LIFE DIDNT SEEM TO BE FALLING APART, the sky was the limit. I would go back in a minute if I could. Your not the only ancient that misses that time period. MAN HOW I MISS THE 80s
Rad tunes man! Born in '80 so my childhood rocked. BMX with the boys, pinecone fights in woods, going to the mall, action movies and amazing music. Still have my Dukes of Hazard lunchbox and the thermos still smells like Spaghettios. No-one had a stupid cell phone and you looked up information in books like a real person. Gas was 97 cents and obesity wasn't a 'disease' yet. Damn....now I'm sad.
80's music is absolutely timeless! The unique blend of synths, unforgettable melodies, and infectious beats makes it stand out as one of the greatest musical eras. Every song has a distinctive energy that still resonates today, capturing the essence of fun, emotion, and pure creativity. 🎶✨
Born in 1971 (January) and teenager in the great 80s. Oh Lord, I confirm that we'd really need to go back to that era ! It was full of creativity, and we had so much freedom (of thoughts and speech) compared to nowadays. We had just enough technologies to make our days easier, but not enough to enslave us. Life was not perfect of course, but it was more rad, "chillier", and somewhat brighter, like subdued light of coloured neons. 🌆
The 1980's wasn't just a decade. It's a state of mind, a different level of consciousness that anyone can achieve regardless of when they were born. You just have to understand the art- the music, movies, clothing, etc. And see where it came from and why.
You took the words right from my soul. Was in my 20's then. And yes. There was a vibe, a zeitgeist the like which I have never experienced before or ever since.
84, 85, 86 were simply peak happiness for me… born in 73… films and music were awesome. My kids love all the music and films too… still loving it today😅
I was born in 1968 and I can tell you "what was good about this music at that time" and still hear it today makes me extremely happy. When I saw the movie "drive" and also the credits of Stranger Things, I had this little smile. Thank you for these sounds -I love the first track.
I think the 80's will be marked down in history as the best or golden years of humans existence, I'm so glad I was part of it. The years may keep on climbing but the 80's music will keep on playing till time it self doesn't exist, this is eternity.
And remember kids, to listen to these kinds of mixes with headphones that have a headband worn over the head, with each phone on / over the ears. Best sound and experience ever ❤.
80's was my best time of life. I am so glad I managed to live that at that age. I miss my pals, my cars, my girls, those endless summers, night clubs, music, fashion, you name it.
Born in mid-70s. Glad I was able to hear this genre in its infancy and its expansion toward the mainstream. Current synth technology does the old sounds right.
Born 73' The 80's rocked! so glad I made that generation. We were taught to be self-sufficient. Some of us were neglected, but not un-loved... just left to ourselves, (which I actually loved); so many good times and memories. Music was a HUGE part of our lives, probably because it wasn't instant, at least not until CD's. All the tapes I owned had been bought at least 2X minimum. Soundtracks were a big deal back then, this playlist is a memory pill of sorts, thanks for sharing! When my kids hear me talk about high school, they just can't relate, at all. They don't get that talking, storytelling and hanging out was the norm. Most kids have a hard time communicating, but they can all text. I'm so thankful youtube and cell-phones were not around back then, even though I use each a lot today.
Born in 1984 and have such a strong connection to this music. Thank you so much for putting this together. I simply cannot stop listening to it! And the artwork...Its hypnotic.
Born in 78. I miss the 80s up until 1995. Best time of my life. Wish i could go back. 😢. Thanks for this lovely nostalgic music, brings back sweet memories. Subbed.
Even though I was born in 1989, I still feel like I have some sort of spiritual connection with this magical decade. I'm just so drawn to every good thing that the 80's had despite not really getting to experience said decade physically. Thank you for putting this out.
Well, the general feeling of the 80s bled well into the 90s. They were both distinct, but the spirit was similar. Stark contrast between them and the 2000s-present. You're the same age as my little brother, and he's through and through an 80s/90s kid.
I was born in 77,, so my best child hood memories are all in the 80’s then the 90s hit and Gang banging and drugs took over my life growing up in East Oakland,, now I’m 46 living my best life sober serving God and living in Texas.
Born in 77 as well and I've been in love with Jesus since I was 5 years old. Welcome to Texas, really wish California was what it was 30 to 40 years ago.
I'm 33, grew up in the 90's and early 2000's, obviously. But such a soothing Feeling of Nostalgia and Greatness of a positive, humanistic 80's Spirit+Vibe always overcomes me with such Music. As If i have been alive a little earlier already!
@@SludgeMan90 Hope the same for you Buddy. At around 30 i turned around everything, it is still work in progress. I enjoy this Music very much sometimes when i am alone, working at Home.
late 70s-80s- where sound technology, ideas & imagination came together for the greatest period of music & sound in history, including film scores. And it all coincided with the advent of video games & the technological leaps in that field. Very exciting time & I'm glad I was able to live thru much of it
I m 91 born but! I'm so much in love with this 80s synthwave music... This was missing in my life... It feels like this genre is me... 🥹🥹 Also I love so many of the 80s music... They were so bomb... Thats when I knew 80s beats were my kind off
I can't get enough of this awesome music! It’s perfectly in sync with the visuals, creating an engaging and immersive experience that draws you in from the very beginning. Each track is thoughtfully chosen, adding to the overall atmosphere and making the video even more enjoyable. The soundtrack is an excellent choice and truly enhances the video, showcasing the creator's exceptional taste in music.
Track 7 is one of the most heavenly, reflective and resonating tunes I have ever heard. What a wonderful creation. Thankyou!. Born 1985, but wishing I was born 1965 to have heard all 80s music live at the time!
Absolutely beautiful, indeed. This isn't an over-the-top experience; instead, it's a pure and unadulterated journey into the soothing realms of synthwave. With its nostalgic allure, it effortlessly transports you back to the vibrant and colorful 80s, filling your heart with a sense of pride and joy. It's like a musical time machine, and I'm loving every moment of this pride-heart-rainbow-philly-infused voyage. 🌈🎶🕰😌
My cousin shared this video to me telling me he found a picture that looks just like me in my teenage years. Its kinda funny cause I always used to rock that same hairstyle and I would always play fighting games in the arcades! Im 33 and I grew up in the late 90's-early 00's so seeing and hearing this is such a nostalgic trip!
Track 6 is magical. It takes me back to some better times. The art work on this vid is beyond words incredible. It reminds me of an arcade I use to go to back in the golden age. The girl pictured I feel I know somehow. Thanx for all of this!!
@GalacticDrive hey thank you for the like. gotta say I'm really enjoying your synthwave 80's stuff. If you like good speakers. The polk signature elite series is really good. I have a yamaha stereo amp it's Also old school new tech very reminiscent of old style class d amps and sounds great with plenty of punch yo drive any speaker. If you wondering about the sub. It's amazing don't wait get it. Is their better yes also more.
Born in 1969. Lucky enough to have lived every second of my youth in the 80's. It's not hyperbole to say that in America the 80's were pure magic. The nexus of technology, booming economy, pop culture and good-natured patriotism were a once in a lifetime event.
Thanks so much for the support M. L.🙂I’ve been very fortunate that my channel has been received super well. Ironically, I was only just accepted into the UA-cam partner program around 10 days ago, but then immediately removed. UA-cam deemed my channel as “reused content” that “does not offer any value to viewers”. I feel this claim is 100% incorrect and false! I’ve asked for examples, and they won’t tell me, which is just crazy. I also asked how could a human from UA-cam initially review my channel and accept me and my content into the program, but then an automated bot remove me? Again they won't answer! So I’m now reaching out to my supporters and subscribers for help. If you can spare a few minutes, it would mean the world to me if you could reach out to UA-cam via any social media handle you have. On Twitter, you can tweet them @TeamUA-cam. On Instagram you can message them on their page UA-cam, on Facebook you can find their page as UA-cam. If you could please reach out to them in any way, mention my UA-cam handle "GalacticDrive" and tell them how you as a UA-cam supporter find value in my content and that my removal from the UA-cam partner program should be reversed immediately. I’m hoping if I can get enough support from my subscribers then UA-cam will listen and agree that my content does offer value to you😄 Thanks so much for your help! 🙏🏼
Engage Galactic Drive! :) Thx for being on the tube. I was born in 1977. So, I was 10 when Joshua Tree by U2 was released. I was 19 when Independence Day the movie was released. I am just old enough to have wished when I was 10 to have been born 10 years earlier. The 80's was an amazing decade. The 90's formed most of my brain, I think. The 90's was a bit darker than the 80's. I was a child growing up in suburban paradise in the 80's. In the 90's I was a teenager that dropped out of high school and dived into hacking, street culture, drugs and easy illegal money. I was living on my own at 16. - That would have been 1993. I was playing stuff like this mix everywhere I went on my cassette tape player or CD player. I liked cassettes better because they didn't skip while I was skateboarding. lol - The people that remember how it was know. ;)

This video truly captures the synthesizer-driven music of the early 80s that was so magical and different from the 1970s-era music that preceded it. Synthwave reflected the spirit of the 1980s: technology and forward-looking optimism.

Synthwave actually started in the 2000's, but it is inspired by synth pioneers of the late70's- early 80's
Born in 1995 but I miss the 80s as well,a great decade.
Lol
Hopefully the music gives you those 80 vibes!
@GalacticDrive yes it does!like a time machine!❤

I’m 55 years old, and in my lifetime so far, The 80’s has a magical feeling to it. 🪄
I miss leg warmers under miniskirts, big hair, and skintight Jordache jeans. I even find myself thinking nostalgically about those godawful rabbit fur jackets.
@@JChrisBourdier and let’s not forget Parachute pants! Those were awesome! I had several pairs! 👖
@LaurisBornToFilm YUP! 👍🏾
I miss the 1980s.
It was definitely a special decade.
I was born in 1996 but I could swear my soul lived in the 80s.
Born in 1983. I remember enough of the 80s to know it was a great time. The 90s was dope too
@@robertdaone Hi,
Yes, yes it was. It Was a lot quieter, over here in the UK that is. Men & women seemed to be better looking ( the women especially). No political correctness, no woke.
Seemed as well that different ethnic groups got on better in the 80's, because it came from the heart, whereas now being "racist" is a criminal act ( although racism is evil) but still!
Even though the 80's like any other decade wasn't perfect, everything was done from the ❤️ back then,
@@robertdaoneyou know I use to love ( well I can say that now) walking down certain streets in my home town over here, but not now!
Not that they're dangerous or anything, but they sparkled in the 80's when we were teenagers. In fact believe it or not the Streets were more dangerous in the 80's, but it was a different kind of danger, as you only got a right royal kicking, whethers now, you can get stabbed or killed, but getting a kicking was way more frequent than the latter ( hard to explain, I know, but one had to have been there to know why?) Me thinks it had, & has to do with CCTV.
There wasn't much in the way of materialism, and money. Was at a happy medium.
Anyway that's my bit on the 80's.
Born in 1978, a child of the 80's, a rebel (teen years) in the 90's. As I remember most of the 90's on a more conscious level, it is the 80's that has made an impact to me. Whenever I hear 80's music, it automatically takes me back into a "non-specific memory" but more of like a "feeling" of bitter-sweet childhood emotions where everything was pure, simple and happy. 80's will always be the best, where everyone was awesome and cool. 80's will always have an unbreakable bond in my heart until my dying days. Music like these, it's transcendental. You're a genius man! Thanks for this.
I reported for Basic Training and AIT at Fort Benning, Georgia on June 6 1980. That was the decade that decided we had missed an entire 2 cycles of development in arms and armor, and damn didn't they give us the best - the M1 Abrams, Kevlar Helmets and body armor, the M16A2 rifle, the M204 SAW, the Bradley AFV...all to the score of DEVO, Flock of Seagulls, Nena (99 Luftbalons) Prince, Blondie, Sugar Hill Gang...cyberpunk before it was cyberpunk.
Loved it.
Happy it takes you back! And thanks for the support and motivation! I've got a new video coming out in a few days, hope you'll like it!😃
@@GalacticDrive will wait for it 😊❤️ thanks! This is a time machine you got here. More power to you!

Born in '85. This brings me back to my childhood.
love the screen. Arcade video game in 80'...I miss these days...
What was your favourite game?😃
I became an adult in 1990 so some of the best years of my childhood and all my teen years were in the 1980s. I miss those times a lot, the people, my family, my home, those old places that don't exist anymore, and the pop culture and prosperity and optimism that made that decade so awesome. Life is still good now but I'll always miss those days. Then again, as an adult, I can choose to relive a lot of the 1980s - and I get to make it so that it's only the good parts! Thank you so much for this awesome music that takes me back there again ...
Hey Bionic Bigfoot, similar experience for me. Synthwave let's us experience that time again. 🎶😀🎉
I wasn't even alive then, but I also wanna go back.
Nice friend! Happy it brings back good memories😊
Im born in 1981, 80´s The best decade, best music, incomparables escences, the best rememberances!!
Im 40, This music is magical and back me to amazing 80s, and I am very grateful for that
Happy it takes you back to better times😊
80s might be best decade in human history
Of course it is! I was born in the 80ies ;-)
80's was magic and I agree. Only thing to worry about back then was a cold war but there was allot of peace everywhere except Africa. Now everything is falling apart.
Goddamn right.
'I'll buy that For A dollar'
strong argument for
Damn man, I’d give anything to relive the 80s. Age 7 to 17. What a blast.
Couldn't agree more man!
Was 4 to 13 I miss those days. 90's were good but it wasn't the 80's. You were at the perfect age for the 80's. Would have loved to spend my high school years at the end of the 80's but those were the early to mid 90's for me.
Definitely brings back the fun memories of the 1980s - arcade tokens, wandering the woods and drainage tunnels till nightfall with your friends, rotary phones to call your folks, and Saturday morning cartoons!
Saturday morning cartoons were my favourite!!!😊
@@GalacticDrive And Cereal Boxes that had toy prizes in them
@@GalacticDrive Getting up at 5am just to watch Bass Masters before the toons started you were so excited.
If life feels too complicated right now, let this music simplify things, even if just for a moment. It’s the little things that matter. 🎶🌱 Leave a 🌱 if you find solace here!
Ah the 80s when you came home from school, got changed and went straight back again. Nobody knew where we were and we always went back home when we were hungry.
Yeah, no mobile phones, no social media. When you had real actual physical friends you hung around with all the time round someone's house.
- and yeah the irony that we're listening to this via social media is not lost. Back in the day I'd have simply given you a tape to copy ;-)
I'm just glad I realized in the 80's that it was a special decade while it was happening. I'm genuinely sad for people who didn't get to live during that time.
Gonna be the ancient one here: born in 1960, the 80's were so wide open alive, music could be chill & not frantic and so could we.....it was the best time to be young & fearless. Thx for your mix--it's like a shot of Everclear to my soul 💙
That's great to hear! Happy the music brings back some good ole memories. It's the aim of the channel 😃 Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it!
I'm often reminded of this quote from the movie Strange Days. "Wanna know how I know it's the end of the world? Because nothing is new, we've already done everything." What we need is a new frontier of some kind.
Pre-ancient then. Born 1957. LOL. I remember when we all thought the synthesizer music was so cool. It was a new thing. Still cool when done right. We are lucky to have experienced so many decades and genres of music first hand.
I'm 9 years behind you but absolutely concur with your sentiment.
Hey Bluesioux I was born in July 61. I spent the 80s from 19-29yrs old spent ENTIRE 80s while in Army. What a great time for our music. I like the fact that 60s and 70s music was still popular also.
ANY TIME I hear 80s music I get nostalgic and want to go back if only for the music. GREAT BANDS GREAT MUSIC AND LIFE DIDNT SEEM TO BE FALLING APART, the sky was the limit. I would go back in a minute if I could. Your not the only ancient that misses that time period.
MAN HOW I MISS THE 80s
Rad tunes man! Born in '80 so my childhood rocked. BMX with the boys, pinecone fights in woods, going to the mall, action movies and amazing music. Still have my Dukes of Hazard lunchbox and the thermos still smells like Spaghettios. No-one had a stupid cell phone and you looked up information in books like a real person. Gas was 97 cents and obesity wasn't a 'disease' yet. Damn....now I'm sad.
Thanks mate! Happy you’re digging em’! More to come for you soon! Check out my barbie and ken video in the mean time. I think you’ll enjoy the tracks😃
80's music is absolutely timeless! The unique blend of synths, unforgettable melodies, and infectious beats makes it stand out as one of the greatest musical eras. Every song has a distinctive energy that still resonates today, capturing the essence of fun, emotion, and pure creativity. 🎶✨
Born in 1971 (January) and teenager in the great 80s. Oh Lord, I confirm that we'd really need to go back to that era ! It was full of creativity, and we had so much freedom (of thoughts and speech) compared to nowadays. We had just enough technologies to make our days easier, but not enough to enslave us. Life was not perfect of course, but it was more rad, "chillier", and somewhat brighter, like subdued light of coloured neons. 🌆
100%!!!!
This is absolutely beautiful. Not over the top, just pure, relaxing synthwave that takes you back to the 80s
Hey I appreciate that!😃 happy you’re enjoying the tunes😊
I was born in 1980, so this is one hundred percent my decade. This has me feeling so nostalgic!
The 1980's wasn't just a decade. It's a state of mind, a different level of consciousness that anyone can achieve regardless of when they were born. You just have to understand the art- the music, movies, clothing, etc. And see where it came from and why.
You took the words right from my soul. Was in my 20's then. And yes. There was a vibe, a zeitgeist the like which I have never experienced before or ever since.
sure... but there also has been much shit in the 80s ;)
@@CXSGroupie i guess it's all in what you decide to take away from it.
84, 85, 86 were simply peak happiness for me… born in 73… films and music were awesome. My kids love all the music and films too… still loving it today😅
I was born in 1968 and I can tell you "what was good about this music at that time" and still hear it today makes me extremely happy. When I saw the movie "drive" and also the credits of Stranger Things, I had this little smile. Thank you for these sounds -I love the first track.
Night Call omg
which movie "drive", what year?
@@mrtienphysics666 HI- Drive from Nicolas Winding Refn out in 2011.
Same year here, October
I think the 80's will be marked down in history as the best or golden years of humans existence, I'm so glad I was part of it. The years may keep on climbing but the 80's music will keep on playing till time it self doesn't exist, this is eternity.
And remember kids, to listen to these kinds of mixes with headphones that have a headband worn over the head, with each phone on / over the ears. Best sound and experience ever ❤.
Haha love it!!
80's was my best time of life. I am so glad I managed to live that at that age. I miss my pals, my cars, my girls, those endless summers, night clubs, music, fashion, you name it.
Different from today hey!
Born in mid-70s. Glad I was able to hear this genre in its infancy and its expansion toward the mainstream. Current synth technology does the old sounds right.
I was born in 2003 but find these old time music very much better than contemporary music 🔥🔥

The 80s stand out as a remarkable decade in human history, marked by an explosion of creativity, innovation, and cultural significance.
Being born in 85’ meant I didn’t get to enjoy the 80s, but the music and movies of that era certainly carried over to the early 90s 😊
I was born in '86, I definitely still have memories being in the 80s though...
@@hairedesigned3833 I have some memories of the 80s but not compared to the 90s…cheers to us my 80s brother or sister🍻
Born 73' The 80's rocked! so glad I made that generation. We were taught to be self-sufficient. Some of us were neglected, but not un-loved... just left to ourselves, (which I actually loved); so many good times and memories. Music was a HUGE part of our lives, probably because it wasn't instant, at least not until CD's. All the tapes I owned had been bought at least 2X minimum. Soundtracks were a big deal back then, this playlist is a memory pill of sorts, thanks for sharing! When my kids hear me talk about high school, they just can't relate, at all. They don't get that talking, storytelling and hanging out was the norm. Most kids have a hard time communicating, but they can all text. I'm so thankful youtube and cell-phones were not around back then, even though I use each a lot today.
Well said!😃
Born in 1984 and have such a strong connection to this music. Thank you so much for putting this together. I simply cannot stop listening to it! And the artwork...Its hypnotic.
I was born in 1984 as well. Now we live in 1984. Creepy huh

At least we still have the movies and music from that era!😄
Born 75 here. Experienced a lot of extreme highs and lows during the 80’s and 90’s. The rest of the succeeding decades became kinda flat.
This make me feel the happiness I felt when I'd go ride my bike after school as a kiddo. It's screaming adventure❤
You hold on to that Linda, and the innocence you had.
Even though I was born in 1989, I still feel like I have some sort of spiritual connection with this magical decade. I'm just so drawn to every good thing that the 80's had despite not really getting to experience said decade physically. Thank you for putting this out.
Well, the general feeling of the 80s bled well into the 90s. They were both distinct, but the spirit was similar. Stark contrast between them and the 2000s-present. You're the same age as my little brother, and he's through and through an 80s/90s kid.
I was born in 77,, so my best child hood memories are all in the 80’s then the 90s hit and Gang banging and drugs took over my life growing up in East Oakland,, now I’m 46 living my best life sober serving God and living in Texas.

It was still popular in the 90s...synth was just getting started actually
late 70s-80s- where sound technology, ideas & imagination came together for the greatest period of music & sound in history, including film scores. And it all coincided with the advent of video games & the technological leaps in that field. Very exciting time & I'm glad I was able to live thru much of it

Ironically, I was only just accepted into the UA-cam partner program around 10 days ago, but then immediately removed. UA-cam deemed my channel as “reused content” that “does not offer any value to viewers”.
I feel this claim is 100% incorrect and false! I’ve asked for examples, and they won’t tell me, which is just crazy. I also asked how could a human from UA-cam initially review my channel and accept me and my content into the program, but then an automated bot remove me? Again they won't answer!
So I’m now reaching out to my supporters and subscribers for help. If you can spare a few minutes, it would mean the world to me if you could reach out to UA-cam via any social media handle you have.
On Twitter, you can tweet them @TeamUA-cam. On Instagram you can message them on their page UA-cam, on Facebook you can find their page as UA-cam.
If you could please reach out to them in any way, mention my UA-cam handle "GalacticDrive" and tell them how you as a UA-cam supporter find value in my content and that my removal from the UA-cam partner program should be reversed immediately.
I’m hoping if I can get enough support from my subscribers then UA-cam will listen and agree that my content does offer value to you😄 Thanks so much for your help! 🙏🏼

Engage Galactic Drive! :) Thx for being on the tube. I was born in 1977. So, I was 10 when Joshua Tree by U2 was released. I was 19 when Independence Day the movie was released. I am just old enough to have wished when I was 10 to have been born 10 years earlier. The 80's was an amazing decade. The 90's formed most of my brain, I think. The 90's was a bit darker than the 80's. I was a child growing up in suburban paradise in the 80's. In the 90's I was a teenager that dropped out of high school and dived into hacking, street culture, drugs and easy illegal money. I was living on my own at 16. - That would have been 1993. I was playing stuff like this mix everywhere I went on my cassette tape player or CD player. I liked cassettes better because they didn't skip while I was skateboarding. lol - The people that remember how it was know. ;)
This is a great mix. Busy working in a noisy office and this just lets my mind work unimpeded.
