Fun Trivia: That's me at 9:07. The pretty young woman I'm pestering would eventually become my wife. It's the very 1st time we ever met. On 9-1-18 we'll celebrate our 25th anniversary.
Thanks, man. We had so much fun shooting this. There's a lot of footage I didn't include in this cut. Maybe I should release a longer "Director's Cut."
carsondyle6 Hahaha. This was so awesome to watch. If you have more footage please release it. Everyone had great personalities. Such a different time back in those days. No cell phones 😁 everyone was more social.
1981... when you and your high school teacher could go outside between classes, smoke a cigarette and talk about the Remington 700 .30-06 rifle you have in your 4x4 truck outside.
nothing has been lost lol. The only difference is that we have cell phones now that allow us to talk when we aren't in the same room. People still socialize to the same degree.
@@kristiann4346 no there was more effort put into it these days. I still remember receiving love letters soaked in the girls favourite perfume with a wax seal, with SWALK (sealed with a loving kiss), not text can replace that feeling of receiving this! Some times too they would give you a scrap book with their favourite pictures and poems lol
RollsRoyce dude people write love letters in text now that’s what she meant when she said people use phones to get the message across when there not in the same room .
fordsrule35 yeah but housing and the cost of living as a whole was much, much cheaper in those days. A 26k salary in the early 80s meant that you were upper middle class.
Make Rome Great Again Ummm Maybe middle class. My dad's salary was around that much in the mid 80's. Oh yes it was much cheaper back in those days lol. I miss the 80's.
fordsrule35 I did some internet research and what I found out what that the average price for a home in California was something like 67k, which in todays money would be like 190k. The dude makes 26k, that would be like 74k in todays money, where a house would cost 190k in todays money... just to give a you an image of cheap the cost of living used to be. Wow. The guy had it really good, he was upper middle class but probably felt wealthy due to the immense cheap cost of living. Now consider this, the average California home today is at around 440k and average wage is like 50k. Wages have really stagnated, thanks to the decline of labor unions. Also, I share your nostalgia for the decade of the 80s. I love the music, pop culture fashion from that era. The cheap cost of living is a huge bonus too.
they had no digital escape -- it's lively due to a lack of the "just saving my personality for the internet" attitude of a checked-out social media addict
1MNUTZ it’s also sunny Surf town California these kids are most likely upper middle class at least so they seem pretty carefree. That school seems amazing though. The times too!
Lesbians are entertaining to watch...... they're so screwed up! Check out their UA-cam channels they are hilarious and they don't even know it! You can't take them seriously but be careful not to negatively comment on the videos because they are hyper sensitive to any kind of criticism..... you'll get blocked quick! Just watch and laugh! Same with the black channels.😱.. very entertaining!
*I turned 13 in 2006 so I watched one High School video shoot in that year called "Boone High School Class of 2006 Senior Video" and I felt like I was back in time while I watching it. Now this video brings so many memories of a time when I wasn't even born but I feel like I lived these years. I feel myself like I was born in the wrong time, wrong year, wrong society!*
No joke I go to this high school as a sophomore and it is now called “Palos Verdes Peninsula High School” It is currently the 10th best high school in California and pretty competitive but seeing the campus now is crazy considering the fact that I walk up these stairs and around that architecture literally everyday, a lot has changed from 1981 to 2018. This is crazy.
i 6tir And it was used in the same context that we use it in today. Goes to show that a lot of the expressions and memes we have today are just recycled from the past.
Loved seeing this. I graduated at this school in 1978 when it was Rolling Hills HS. It was exactly like this. Miss those times. It was awesome to see the school again.
No comments about how that's Jay Bilas?? The tall guy doing the interview played basketball at Duke and is on ESPN all the time as a basketball analyst.
Notice..most of these kids are easy going and sociable. Not really any obnoxiously rude loud n viloent kids w NO SOCIAL SKILLS. Intelligent humour as well.
nowadays, kids look so miserable and won't even look you in the eye when you are taking to them. so much low self-esteem and insecurity in today's kids.
Melissa Adami That's why you must soak in a bath filled with Anti-Oxident One every single day, if you are not doing so already. Slows the aging process down a lot.
This was actually very creative and humorous. I bet the students put this whole video project together. I graduated from a high school in California in 1995, myself.
No crime at all. Rolling Hills is actually a guard gated CITY. One of the only in all of LA. Besides Hollywood Hills. Rancho Palos Verdes on the other hand is not. Regardless, I am on campus all the time and even though they are always renovating and making it more modern I feel it still has the same personna and some architecture from nearly 55 years ago. ( My dad and his three sisters graduated from this school) One sister graduated the same year this video was shot. one thing to point out though, this school is no longer called Rolling Hills high but rather Palos Verdes Peninsula High school.
Yeah, I heard it too. The use of the word troll is hardly a meme. But it probably is evidence that the first use of the word troll likely originated through internet in users in this part of the US.
Graduated from RHHS the class of ‘68 - Great school from the year it opened in 1964! The Turtles, Jackie DeShannon, & Hugh Masekela were a few of the stars that performed in the gym for hootenanny. I consider myself lucky to have been in the class of ‘68, the first graduating class at RHHS to attend all 4 years of high school there.
These were innocent days. Days when people actually felt hopeful and thought things could only get better. They still can, but only if we realize our current system isn't working.
You might say I wouldn't know - I wasn't born. But i've seen my parents, their friends, family - and they all feel cheated and defeated from the system, they were told benefited them - was on their side. Lies.
+thatstheguy07 you serious? 😐 Girls in high school and middle school are wearing 10 pounds of makeup and dessing beyond their age, can easily pass 20 these days. It is really sad everyone is trying to grow up fast.
I’m obsessed with these 80s and 90s videos. They’re basically the first UA-cam videos/vlogs
Me too i was born in the 1990 :D
Uhm. There is 60's and 70's videos too.
I am too. I'm a sucker for the 70s 80s and 90s

My dad was born in the 70s he was 7 at 1981
I HAVE BEEN BINGE WATCHING THESE TYPES OF VIDEOS NON STOP HELP ME
me too...

her diaries yes!!
Help you stop or help you carry on?

limpbizquick me its true. This guy is the editor of the vid
Yup, true story. We were married in `93, but our first encounter is recorded on this video. (-:
Congrats bro, that's killer
What state is this in? Just curious for the way y’all talk
That can’t be possible because I’m the girl in the video and we got divorced over 15 years ago. Nice try, imposter!
I'm the guy who shot this and cut it together. Glad so many people have gotten a kick out of it. We had a blast making it.
Thanks, man. We had so much fun shooting this. There's a lot of footage I didn't include in this cut. Maybe I should release a longer "Director's Cut."
Cameron Crowe told us the check was in the mail. That was 41 years ago. Guess it's time to follow up.

man, the memories.
1981... when you and your high school teacher could go outside between classes, smoke a cigarette and talk about the Remington 700 .30-06 rifle you have in your 4x4 truck outside.
The principle comes outside only to bring his Remington 870 12 gauge shotgun over and join the conversation.
JustAGuy we were stoners
Lol junkies
Yep! The Latin teacher bummed one off me first day of school.
I eat tide pods with my teacher
The kid in the brown jacket is my cousin Richard. RIP Richard, you were fun to hang around with.
He was to young
When did he die?
My dad graduated here in 1982. I wish I would have found this a year ago to show him before he passed.
So sorry to hear that, Michael. Your dear Dad passed too soon.
Carlito thank you for that. Coming up on a year soon. Did you go here as well?
Damm rip bro sorry for ur loss
I was 4 years old then. It's hard to believe that people who graduated that year are now in their late 50's. Time really does fly.
These kids interviewing are hilarious but in a very smart/witty way. Very impressed with 1981
Kill TV Very witty kids
Blank TV 1981 was a good year...legends were born in '81 :D
Blank TV
Bet you wished you were around
were all these teachers fuckin tryin to be comedians. deport him to Texas
MICHAEL MONFREDO all of the kids who have tried tide pods are dead now. They don't matter anymore. Natural selection.

I graduated high school in 1981. I love these old 80s videos.
"Deport him to Texas" "negotiate with thespians". This is hilarious.
$26,000 in 1981 is $73,762.00 in today's dollar. Not too shabby...
Paul Ferguson Pretty shabby.
73k in southern California today is not good. Take out taxes and it's not much. House prices are ridiculous in this state now.

I find it interesting that this time period of high school students had the best sense of humor and sarcasm comparatively to later generations.
We were very separated into groups. You only associated within your group. We weren't accepting of others. We were.....assholes.
weirdo
They didn't have to walk on egg shells
These people seem a lot more "lively" more in tune than people today must be something in the water
they had no digital escape -- it's lively due to a lack of the "just saving my personality for the internet" attitude of a checked-out social media addict
Spot on, PG. They had no alternate reality, therefor they made the best out of the one they were in, the *real* world.
People in that time had much more developed social and speaking skills.
1MNUTZ it’s also sunny Surf town California these kids are most likely upper middle class at least so they seem pretty carefree. That school seems amazing though. The times too!
jeb419 That is true. Rolling Hills is still a pretty nice place, even today.

In this video, several Foremans, Hydes, maybe a Donna or two and all presented by Kelso.
Brian In Fingal That went away by 1983 I think
I hear you man
I turned 13 on this day in 1981. I am from Chicago I don't even know why I am watching this but I love any look back at the past.
I love watching these too, I also turned 13 in September 1981
wow ! so u are like 50 now?
I was 2.

These people have a genuine sense of humour. Nowadays shouting suddenly or yelling "what are those?" Counts as good banter, god save us.
life seemed so much cooler and fun], plus the people were funny af lol
It's because everyone was white.
This school seems particularly cool only because it's one of the richest areas of LA.
adri k well that was in California back then, go to the east coast, some place like the New York and it was a shithole environment even back then
@@1tokeover I guess so
Loved seeing this. I graduated at this school in 1978 when it was Rolling Hills HS. It was exactly like this. Miss those times. It was awesome to see the school again.
My junior year was in 1981. Webb School of California. High school in the early 80s was so much fun. "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" nailed it.
Exactly 9 years before I was born. These videos are my new favourite thing to watch on UA-cam.
Omg, people talking to each other.
No comments about how that's Jay Bilas?? The tall guy doing the interview played basketball at Duke and is on ESPN all the time as a basketball analyst.
M Williams Also wondered how no one was discussing that. Super interesting
Holy shit, that is him!
I was seriously wondering the same thing
I dint know who he was, not American....but i had a strong feeling he’s gonna be on tv which he did as u said
That is Jay go to 8:06 she says his name
People back then had humor!!!!
Dom Gould yes we did!
I have good humour born in 1997, but adults now from the 70s 80s have no fuckn humour isnt that crazy? Lol such prudes
Rosay Ramos I disagree with your age group has no personality it's all about me.
shut the hell up old man
John Gold I'm sure they were, but just about different things. What was offensive back then may not be considered offensive now, and vise versa.
Notice..most of these kids are easy going and sociable. Not really any obnoxiously rude loud n viloent kids w NO SOCIAL SKILLS. Intelligent humour as well.
Legend has it @4:50 he's still explaining surfing lingo to this day
These people are so well spoken.
“What do you do at this school?”
“Uhh, nothing..”
“Are you proud of that fact?”
*”Sure..”*
emag It was fine then to say something like that . Today you might get sacked for it.
Ed Denoy if a kid said that today
"UGH KIDS ARE SO BRAINDEAD TODAY, THEIR GENERATION IS DOOOOOMED!"
@@memo-fq3ps yet ur from are generation i love older music and stuff like this to but im not going to down generation a that im ftom.
The video looks really good for 1981
This school really had a lot of funny people
Haha these guys are pretty funny
Only pretty funny though they can't get all the credit
No ones looking down at their cell phones?? Oh wait thats right.. What a nice time. I feel like i missed out. I was born in the late 90's.
“I can’t have a coke? Ok, I’ll have a martini!”
This was awesome. Watching in quarantine 2020
It seems like the kids back in high school in the 80's acted older than the kids of high school today.
Kid at 4:10 embodies everything So Cal “Gotta know your lingo man...”
Is this honestly a new movie. It seems like the best script ever written.
Why has this not gone viral?! This is amazing. I was not expecting to laugh like that! Thank you so much for posting and making my day 💛
they all act like adults and have an amazing vocabulary.
4:08 Some great vocabulary huh?
Are you being sarcastic? because i still think its great.
This is the best high school video yet. I'm. Class of 81 central valley ca.
Before social media destroyed social interaction, people were lively and happy to communicate and no one offended even those with status
“Deport him to Texas” I died
Cool Video , gives everyone and idea what kids were like in plush southern Ca . Cool time in America !
nowadays, kids look so miserable and won't even look you in the eye when you are taking to them. so much low self-esteem and insecurity in today's kids.
These youngsters in this video must be around 54 years old now!
Melissa Adami lol I made the same calculations
Darn youngins
We are! I turn 54 7/2/18.
Melissa Adami That's why you must soak in a bath filled with Anti-Oxident One every single day, if you are not doing so already. Slows the aging process down a lot.
M.O'Riley which one Is you
It's 1981 and they still look like they're casting for Room 222.
These people were so lucky to live in this era.
That was classic humor interviewing and editing for the time! Loved it.
Freshmen in 1980- 81. Great memories.
This was actually very creative and humorous. I bet the students put this whole video project together. I graduated from a high school in California in 1995, myself.

Wow this class is 53 years old
jimmer vasquez 55 now
My mother's age
Its not that old, for me its only 13 years older

Teachers were great in the 80's. Note how many men there are.
I was in the graduating class that year.
serious question. Is richard really dead?
is it me or does someone say "LeBron James" at 7:54
I was too, just only 35 years later
did you recognize anyone here?
+Chrystal, tell us about your time there, your memories.
I really enjoyed watching this 😂 these guys are a riot
I’m near the end and I’m blushing just watching myself. Lol
Did he just say what happened to rock n roll. It was 1981 😭
All the kids they interviewed were mad high 😭😭😭
Punk rock kids complaining about "poseurs," how things never change.
When life wasn’t an eggshell walk, and people weren’t so easily offended.
5:34 that dude was so stoned.
The year before i was born. Gotta love the Rolling 80s
Amazing memories! Thanks for sharing. Even my parents were still in primary school that time.
"Evelyn don't run away from me..." Who is this guy with his camera so funny
Led Zeppelin His name is Jay Bilas, ESPN reporter
I currently am a senior in this school. It looks sooo different back then xD
Now you were a senior 5 years ago and I bet it looks even more different now. SO what have you been doing these last 5 years?
Wow you graduated 5 years ago
They started serving soda before 1:15 and it went to hell

no metal detectors, no police cars parked out front, and no school shootings. i was 14 in 1981 i remember this time pretty well.

School's aging like fine wine.
Why did high school kids look about 30 back then?
Because these people are the adults of today. Their style is similar to today's 50-year-olds.
