These videos are so nostalgic, I was 9 in 84, I remember how fun it was to go to the mall, I don't care what anyone says, life was better then.
People died from aids more often so life was not better lol
@@edjsjjsjsjeje3751 That's called cherry picking, you can do that for any decade or era. Nice try though.
@@DucatiGTS so you basically said u don't care about people dying from aids
@@edjsjjsjsjeje3751 You're an idiot to assume that, the point is , you can cherry pick any tragedy, you could say the same about covid and this decade. It doesn't take away from how good someone feels this time period was for them. So please spare us the dramatic bs.
So true it really was
For me, old Mall / Arcade vids are some of the most top-notch things to see in regards to nostalgia and trying to get a sense of part of the culture back then. I'm glad I found this channel.
I'm so glad you found this too .. 😜
Are u dumb? Culture is not that simple
Wow. I forgot how crowded malls were back then. I went to the mall 3 days before Christmas this past year and parked in the first spot outside Macy’s, walked in and it was pretty much a ghost town. I was at that same mall on Christmas Eve day with my mom in 1999 and it was a total mob scene. Sad that malls are dying.
1984, age 12. The malls were my haven. Burlington Center, Moorestown Mall, Cherry Hill Mall. The stores, the clothes, the hair, the music, the people...all awesome!
Back when you could shop without getting your head blown off, by a mall shooter, I miss those days ❤RIP 80s&90s😢
No but...
a sudden heart attack? You bet.
In 1984 I was fresh out of high school and had no idea how I was going to make it in life. Here we are almost 40 years later, and I still have no idea how I'm going to make it in life.
Feel
Respect
This is the kind of video you could convert the audio to a cassette tape or CD, and in the event of the apocalypse, go to a mall that has sunny areas, bring a battery powered boom box, play this in the open area, sit on a bench and stare at the floor and imagine that people and society still exist. The ambience of a mall full of mumbling, shuffling shoppers.
🤨Then the cannibals hear it and come for you.
I like the way you think.
I love the thought you put into that. Would be a great scene in a movie. You’d make a good writer.
It all changes,but then it all remains the same.If you close your eyes,the sounds of humanity never change.
Oh* yeah they* do*!* People* were happier* then*!*!*!* Music*, food*, F*U*N*!*!*!* 🥳💘☄️😇🌟🎡👆✨💫🌈🍦🍨🪐🍕🧀🚀😇🌈🌠💘🥳✨👄🍭🍬🎡👆🌟🌈☄️😇
FrFr. No cap.
1984 looked like the 70s, much like how 2004 looked 90s
Where's the obesity?
Your channel is amazing! 😊
I remember 1984 as the year that shopping just took off! It seemed like everyone had to buy a new tv, stereo system, games, toys and loads of clothes, shoes, accessories and jewelry. I don't remember the buying spree slowing down until 1993. I worked in retail and the malls were packed every day of the week.
Senseless over consumption.
The economy boom under Regan
@@davidmitchell6873This was during the CRASH. You could literally buy 2600 Cartridges in Bargin Bins at the time.
Boy do I remember the Cabbage Patch Kid craze…. Huge, next to beanie babies.
What is something that is missing? No hoochie mommas,walruses showing everything. People had more class,dressed better,behaved better. i remember black friday being civil. plus most stuff was still made in USA! Better quality!
Yeah what's the deal with cows wearing spandex and think their shiot don't stink , gross
So true
Funny how we get all misty over big malls in their hey day, easy to forget how hated the developments where for destroying what was there before be it older buildings or just nature. Not to mention the many smaller long standing businesses badly affected and closed due to a mall development in a community.
True, but you buzz killed my nostalgia- hahahaha!
The big hair trend was in effect.
I feel for the guy at 6:42 stressing out over picking the "right one" that will make her happy.
@cgeorge6786, Stressing out, where???????
@@halloweenville1man’s was really thinking hard
@@michelle7286 Thinking hard is not stressing out. they are not the same thing.
@@halloweenville1 I didn’t even argue that just saying what I observed 😂 it’s all good 🙏🏻
@@michelle7286 I didn't say you were arguing. I was pointing out that the guy isn't stressing out.
The background noise seems so much less than today. It's very calming.
Back when you wore your best for a trip to the mall, it was the highlight of the week. Now people think they are cool if they walk out in their pajamas. nothing cool about being a slob.
Yes! Proof of the Sanrio store that was at Tysons--thanks for posting this video.
Anyone else find videos from their birth year and find yourself shocked and appalled at how ancient it looks 😮
Amazing ❤ indeed took me to a decade i didn’t exist in.
Memories of being a teen I'm the 80s will never be challenged
We went from then, to a dark, twisted and evil world.
Where does all this high quality footage come from? Were you the camera person?
From a prison 😿
Are these videos you have taken? This is an awesome channel! Glad i stumbled across it.
@@carryeveryday910 There is a whole channel full of videos
Malls brought people together. The internet drove them apart.
5:47. This has to be 1984 because parents aren't killing each to buy Cabbage Patch Kids! 😁
I was 8 in 1984. I remember being dragged to malls and I didn’t like how crowded it was. Now malls are so empty! It was neat seeing original Cabbage Patch Kids again. I bet this mall is now closed.
Notice how well dressed they are. Unlike today you see lazy people wearing pajamas looking all dirty at the mall. Disgusting 😂
Yessss!!
They dressed nicer because we still had some semblance of a middle class back then
How do you feel about transgender people? You're a bigoted garbage human being. There is NOTHING good about you.
Not everyone dresses like that.
The demographics were way different
1:37 I had that brown one when I was a kid!!!
Our first "super mall" opened in 1984. Madison Square Mall was the name. Was demolished in 2017 for the place called Mid City Town Center.
And there we have the modern penchant for excessive euphemism. It used to be that you gave a suburban mall a name as straightforward as "Springfield Mall". Now you try to pretend it's in the middle of a colonial village, even though it's not in the middle, it's not colonial, and it's not a village-things like "Village Crossing", "Towne Center", "The Shoppes at Fairfield Commons", with zillion-acre parking-lots surrounded by six-lane roads, while the actual downtown degenerates into pawn-shops, high-priced junk-food & lottery-tickets convenience-stores, pot-shops and vape-shops, and payday-loansharks.
Beautiful
Hi there! This is GREAT footage! Did you film this yourself?
Crazy, these young teenagers are like my parents age now today!!
This is fascinating. Where do you find all this footage? I assume it's B-roll from news stations and such. Is there a website?
I believe he was the one creating the footage and has ownership of it.
Curious- who shot this and why?
Don’t quote me on this, but I believe that these were used as B-roll, which would be used for the news (I think)
I bet for newscasts, as background or to be edited later. There must be millions of these.
oh yeah they did used to use paper shopping bags
Back when people had self respect
And common sense and knowledge and actually when people were able to socialize and focus
When did you lose your self respect?
When I found out the world was full of David Mitchell types.
I'm glad your mom doesn't feel that way.
@David mitchell she does. She told me about you. She told everyone. Your tiny dick is a legend.
I saw the Woodward + Lothrop price tags.
Back then you heard a lot more clickety-clack sound when people walked. Everybody wears rubber-soled shoes now.
today I was at Tyson's Corner !! the Video was shot 3 years before I was born !! wow
It looks odd to not see people with a phone in their hands, everyone walks upright.
No It looks normal.
I miss the electronics of the 80s. Fun times.
Really brings back memories. And nobody's wearing a mask- wow!!
People died from aids almost everyday back then compared to now where u will most likely survive
The pace of life was so much better…shoot, almost everything was better
This was when i was in my hanging out at the mall phase hoping to meet girls.
I was born that year.
I saw an IBM 3683 or 3684 in the background @5:06
Not a person w their phone in their face
Because they didn't exist yet.
People died from aids way more often back then compared to nowadays
I was 18 that year. Got my first job also
Did u work at all these places on ur channel ? And why did u film all these just curious
This is interesting but where are the toy stores dammit?
Thomas The Tank Engine wasn't there but it was in England, UK in 1984 only.
Where were all the store swarmings in these videos??.. didn't people know back then how to get the "100% OFF" specials??
The times where to get something you actually had to move your ass off the couch. Now you order stuff from bed and it will be delivered streight to your door.
Where is all the trash at?? There isn't anyone yelling and fighting.
Simple brain comment.
Probably at your house.
People died from aids and cancer way more often back then lol
Nobody gave birth and raised them yet 😆😆!!
i didn't know 1980s camcorders could be this high res.
I was 12 in '84. They were actually pretty clear at the time, but the tape quality degrades over time.
Do You Remember Sears Funtronics
Honestly. No. I had to look that up. Interesting...
Probably not the same as online shopping just the experience is different. Clicking a few buttons on a screen seems very simple but its surely unpleasant and boring
Online you have better selection and price choices.
Makes me wonder why some cameraman would waste their expensive batteries just filming everyday things like a Mall.
It’s B-Roll footage for a local news story about Christmas Shopping.
Sad to think that some of the older folk shown probably aren’t with us anymore. Overall a great video, I just thought I would share my incite, regardless of how depressing it may seem.
Insight, not "incite".
@@lesleylesley5821 I felt incited by his insightfulness tho.
