Whether they disagreed or agreed with men wearing make-up, these youngsters were happy to sit and talk about it with real maturity, and comfortable to say what they wanted. Not like today! You can't say anything to anyone, without them getting offended, and shoving their victim-attitude moans and groans onto social media. The 80s were great for just getting on with things.
Me too. When I started clubbing in the early-80’s there were girls and boys that would take a costume change and their make-up bag. It wasn’t something I would do, but when you’ve grown up on a drab council estate in a steel town, watching these exotic birds parade on a Saturday night was like a breath of fresh air. These uptight, humourless “men should be men” types are the biggest snowflakes going.
Any fella who wore make up in town was undoubtedly from the southside .. you would be weary wearing makeup on the bus home going Northside! Unfortunately you'd be battered.
That last person with the perfect answer, concise and educates. An other said it's whats in a person that matters, also good, but cliche and reductionist
Young fashions should always be a little bit ridiculous. It certainly beats the modern horrors of sportswear - brain-dead he-boys in nylon wifebeaters and white-soled plimsolls, drunk on whey powder, hip-hop and Jordan Peterson videos. Imagine how embarrassed these young bores will be in 40 years time when they look back at old family photos and find that they’re indistinguishable from their grandfathers.
@@markofsaltburn Jaysus, he only bleedin' commented on the fashion of the day. Must be amazing waking up every morning & just being Mark Lawton, fashion guru, intellectual & judging by your Peterson comment, a woke (probably middle class) leftist who wouldn't know a hard days work if hard work were a 30 stone man &he sat on your face!
I've decided that I'm going to be a woman 3 day's a week , I bought a lovely frock and frilly knickers , but I'm keeping my beard,, these day's anything goes. If you can't beat them, join them , it's a woman's world.
There are plenty of girls who love painted dandies, and there’s no shortage of rough-handed bearded has-beens like me who hate them for it - for many different reasons. If you want to read a man, put him in a room with a beautiful boy.

I love the individuality of the 80s…

I grew up in Dublin in the 70's/80's, trust me, from where I grew up, if you wore makeup as a man, you would have got your head kicked in.
How dull
@@markofsaltburn It was actually quite scary.
@@katoness intermittently dull and scary.
@@markofsaltburn Can you put a tune to that?
this is great! thank you so much for taking the time to upload all these amazing videos!!!
Fast forward 35 years: “What is a woman?”
Honestly what isn't these days. Men, children, 2d drawings, attack helicopters, the list is long and exhaustive.

Love the modesty of the people here.
I'd love to see those people today, looking back on this footage and getting their reaction. Some of those 80's fashions were awful.

@@markofsaltburn literally no such person fits this description. This is an embarrassing description of an imaginary stereotype.
Smart kids...
A real man for me
Jesus I remember this
I must admit I'm still partial to black eyeliner on men after all these years.

happy for you ❤️❤️❤️
Plait your beard and pair a boob tube with that outfit and I’ll be taking a run at you, big boi.
You can just be a dude with war paint too, but you do you I guess.
Fair play! :)

If you say “If you say I ‘I used to be punk rock’ then you never were” then you never were.
@@markofsaltburn I take it you're a former punk? XD I thought that "if you aren't now, you never were" was straight-edge bollocks.
