In all seriousness, it was amazing. Phones and social media have given us a lot, but destroyed a lot of what made it so fun to be a person :,(. People were where they were when they said they’d be there. The phone was fought over because you only had one line and love felt tangible and like something you could trust.
I say your allowed to miss what you miss and unless he knows the person and is watching the tape with him, him along with everyone else watching this missing those times miss them and that doesn't change because they're watching it on a phone? Gosh... Why even comment that? Delusional if you think anyone even has a choice in what and how they miss something and the circumstances in which they naturally unfold.. 🙄
@@iamsosorry3175 thats not why he wrote that, ofcourse he probably saw this on his phone but hes right times then were better i wish i wasn't born with this technology even though its amazing but i would like to be social like this
I love seeing these vids from the 80's. They quickly take me back to my childhood. Though this one seems a bit like deleted scenes from "Friday the 13th." lol
I just watched another one of your vids where you & friends were at a 7-11…nostalgic. I notice how nobody in these vids has their face buried in a phone…everyone is “doing”, communicating and sharing time together. Keep these coming…it’s so nice to see this stuff! I was 14 when this was filmed. Honestly if I could just go back, I would. I truly would. Thanks for sharing the memories. All the best!
It was truly nice. I also caught the same 7-11 experience only years later & 8 new flavors later! Lol…thank you again. Oh, I subbed & put all notifications on. It was damn nice to see the past as I remember it.
JS D right? the foresight on this guy. I gotta start recording me and my friends now, so I can post it in like 30 years when it's retro. wait that just might be stupid enough to work. wish me luck! lol
Idk if it’s this generation or just this specific group of young adults. But they seem soooo much happier and livelier than today’s generation. It’s so sad
5:52 the girl you zoomed in on 😂 for a split second you can see her look annoyed before you turn the camera away.. brought back that feeling of getting caught staring at a boy and he catches me 🙈 Love these vids 🤙🏼
Amazing how no matter what part of the country you came from, we all looked the same in the 80's. ALl these people in this video look like people from my high school. Craziness.
@@NateBostian - I can't remember specifically what camp ground the one in this video is...but I think it was near Melbourne. I think it was the first time it was used for one of our youth events. And it was one of the last ones I attended as I left my youth behind, so I don't know if it was used after that. I attended many events at Canterbury in Oviedo, and Camp Joy in Apopka. There was another near Ocala that I can't remember the name of and did one in Jacksonville too. But went to Kanuga about 4 or 5 times during my youth. Good times and memories. Still have many of those friends today.
A couple reasons: 1) I only have a limited supply of videos from the ‘80s. I can’t go back and make more. 2) Lots of adulting makes for limited amount of free time to make new ones and find old ones. But hey, I hear I might have a lot of free time over the next month or so...so stay tuned.
It was "In real life" "IRL" before that was a thing. Im happy to have been alive then...good ol days before all this tech sht, we actually had to talk to a girl in person first if we wanted to date one.
Finished College, worked at Disney a little longer, worked on a few TV shows, then started working at local TV stations and moved around the country doing that for 25 years. Last year I bought a little beach bar & grill in Tampa.
@@ChrisIller seems like you had an adventurous time constantly moving around! I'm finishing up college this year at 21 and seeing your videos makes me better appreciate how fun these past 4 years were
"Is it on?" idk why people ask this so regularly, still today, as if it is more normal for someone to be pretending to record with a camera for 30 minutes.
@@ChrisIller I felt kinda refiled after seeing you reply, I was also kinda worried why there's no more uploads since 2 years. TBH, your 1987 video made me smile without me knowing, I wasn't born in 80's, but always felt like 80's was the best era and your video confirmed it.
I need to go back to my archive and upload some videos. But getting new videos from the ‘80s is a bit tough. My flux capacitor is on the fritz at the moment
Quill Clock there isn't anything cringy about being genuine, but when you post it publicly it is no longer a genuine moment, but rather an experience for the audience to interpret 2nd hand. An audience is inherently detached from the scene and sees it subjectively objective, rather than objectivity subjective. It's no longer a personal moment and is now corny and cringy af. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it can add or take from any form of entertainment or expression, but it is inherent to the content. The cringe isn't the moment, but the sharing of such a moment publicly.
Skyler I see. very well put man. I've always been confused about the "cringe" stuff on UA-cam and why sometimes people are cringing at mundane things like this. I think it's because I'm a pretty empathetic person. so in situations like these I can get into it and enjoy myself and the content. And when I see cringey fail videos I usually find myself feeling bad for/with the person. If only I was autistic then I could cringe with the big boys. lol
Quill Clock that comment you ended on, about autism, is very cringy. But this time it's not a reflection of a moment or scene, but a reflection of your personal character. Stereotyping marginalized demographics only makes you appear ignorant. Lol and here I was trying level with you on philosophical terms, I guess that makes me the real dummy here 😂
Skyler Nah man you totally helped in a very philosophical way. you gave me the explanation well enough I could use it and apply it to myself. I had an epiphany and everything. you put it to well if anything. Im rly genuine guy, so I appear cringy all the time online. so I use tasteless humor to combat that. honestly this is the first time making a crude joke at the end of a genuine statement got me called cringy. maybe because you are woker than the average chad, er no wait skyler.
"Try it man it's the 80's"
Right after a swatsika on the wall.. nothing's changed I guess
Even people in the 80s sounded like they where making fun of the 80s 😂
The 80s was the future. Still is. And was
The most 80s thing to say.haha😂

getting nostalgia for a time i never experienced
I was 18 in 88 and I always wonder how people in these videos lives turned out. They're so full of life I hope they are all still alive and well. 🙏🏻
I cherish these memories and im not even in them, well done recording this stuff 1987 Chris Iller
Thanks!
@@ChrisIller which one are you and did you feel,safe.
i’m binge watching all your old videos and i’m obsessed, it would’ve been so cool to grow up in that decade.
Ha....hope you like our corny jokes.

I miss the 80s so much after watching this.. thanks for sharing Chris.. Class of 86 right here.

this makes me miss the 80s and i wasn't even born then
I love how the cars at the end slowly get closer and closer until the footage goes to static
I hope vidoes like these never get lost

I caught another time traveler! Girl in sleeveless white shirt was checking her text messages at 8:29
Teen girls back in those days it was popular to have hand held mirrors and they were always checking their hair and makeup.
She’s reading a can

“This one time at band camp” 👧🏼
At this moment in time, I was 11 years old and heavily into skateboarding. I was riding my Christian Hosoi deck at the time. I miss the 80's!!!

Dude the wimins were so fuckin naturally cute back then

That dude in the yellow shirt started singing Eddie Cochran "summertime blues" that was so cool lmao
Cool video!
it's totally rad.
I wish I was there
Is everyone here because of the other video from 1987
Love the throw backs
What Church camp was this? I heard reference to a Diocese and to Kanuga. Was this an Episcopal Camp?
Yes...Episcopal
@@ChrisIller Cool. I'm an Episcopal priest who works with Camps and Conferences. The video had a very familiar vibe to it, even after all these years.

Why the lack of recent uploads?

Can you make an update of present day. I seen your 7-11 videos at midnight from the 80s and 2014
13:20 Oh hey look it's a young Jack Swagger!
lol... was looking for the spiky hair first.
0:46 That guy Ty has my name. Me me and him now have a instant connection. Well I guess I have his name. But still.
