      Yes. That and anachronisms are what bug me about TV and movies set in the decade. It's like they exaggerated 1984 and 1987 and throw them together. Kids in high schools were rather subdued anyway, especially this time which has to be no later than early 1984.

That's why there were so many subcultres of outcasts like metal, punk, proto-goths, skns, etc. Lots of teeens were despressed but they weren't put on medicat1on like now.

    I graduated high school in 89. I’m surprised the decade has become so beloved. I had a great time. We had our positives and negatives but I do think the youth were happier. The Information Age and technology nowadays is absolutely amazing. The only problem is too many youth are lost in it, identify too much with it and it encourages separation and loneliness. If you’re part of this generation, do your best to limit social media, PlayStation and live in this world like we used to. If you do, you’ll have everything we did and much, much more. It’s really up to you where you live your life.

My mom freaked out, yes I got made fun of, but the following week, 8 or so classmates had bleach-blonde bangs, lol. So, not entirely innocent, but also nowhere near what's happening today. Too much having kids lead the world and having to grow up too soon. 🤦🏼‍♀️

    • @albedougnut
      @albedougnut Рік тому +1

      I think a substantial problem with loneliness in modern day stems from systemic issues, particularly around the way infrastructure and cities are designed. Youth enjoy spending time with one another, and oftentimes technology can actually enhance that experience. But with the increasing amount of city planning around roads rather than walkable cities with expansive public transportation, it makes it difficult for people to spend time in person. It also does not help that the public school system has become so obsessed with testing culture, preparing students for the SAT and ACT, rather than allowing them to enjoy their time in school. By the time I graduated, having 4+ hours of homework per night was not uncommon, and that level of workload on students is not conducive to a healthy social life. Certain forms of social media are genuinely quite damaging, though a lot of people will play games or watch television shows as a social activity.

    There is one major difference here ...I did not see one obese or overweight teenager in this clip...if you look at any high school now in 2022 most of the teenagers are overweight or obese....another reason I miss the 80s...we had home cooked meals and food wasn't so processed and we actually went outside and rode our bikes and or played kickball or hop scotch or we just went for long walks ...we didn't sit in front of a computer all day ..this is a few reasons why kids from the 80s were in better shape ...everything was better at that time ..including music and movies also....the movies didn't rely so much on special affects so they actually had a story and a plot!!!!

    i was born in 69, this was exactly my high school time in Germany. People talked to each other, meeting after school where usual. We hung around listend to the 80s music and talked. Friends seemed to be more reliable, came to appointments. There where no talking 10 times on the phone , before meeting. They just showed up!
    I´m really glad that i grew up without www.
    Cellphones and Internet destroyed this unique atmosphere we joined during the 80s. Always knowing about the political situation between east and west made us living in the now.
    Looking at my kids (16 / 13) makes me feel kind of sorry for them. At these days everything is digital, nothing analog. They spend way to much time in their rooms. Corona did it´s part as well....

      No cell phones true. I went to high school 1985 -1990 it wasn't perfect life was still not easy, but more dynamic with conversations - kids seem a bit different today i don't know, maybe world weary by their minds being somewhere else/distracted by social media on the brain.
      Back then it mostly was our tapes/CDs stereo some books/magazines, a push bike to explore places and the family TV set. Definitely no 24hr news cycle. And content (as people like to call it today) seemed more original in what we listened watched and read. Today culture seems all over the place fragmented as well as compressed in its life cycle with so many things vying for people's attention.

      I'm placing this at Spring of 85. Girls wore more make-up in 83. By the Fall of 85, they were wearing more layered haircuts and oversized clothing. Though, the cars in the background look more 84.

      My guess is early 1984. It is hard to tell with a small town high school because many of the people might have been more practical in their clothing, but haircuts look more pre-summer '84. Sometimes it depends on whether they had cable and followed certain magazines.

    It was a wonderful time to be alive.
    Such things as school being different, hanging with friends on some arcade places trying to get the high score, revolutionary electronics, Saturday cartoons, how most toys were based from those shows, music was somehow better than what late 2010s had to offer, movies were different & most of all people trusted one another.
    I know a bunch of this even born in early Y2K. I believe that I was reincarnated because at a young age, I still grew up with late 90s pieces. Most of it being the n64, ps1 & a bunch of stuff recorded in vhs. As time passed, I double thought some stuff that I saw & kept thinking why is all of this seems familiar? & this was before having fake nostalgia was a thing online.
    When I bring conversations about the 80s, I think of having the old friends I had. We cared for each other, had fun together. Although there could've been some mild drama, we end up patching things together.
    But something that triggers me is the thought of losing them. Yesterday, I was going through some memory lane, the 80s. Something I can't describe broke me in tears. Almost as if I've experienced this before & the situation was too familiar. When I put that on the modern people, I was concerned of I was going to lose them again.
    A question I have is how did I died back then? There had to be something that went wrong & how I was born in Y2K. One conclusions is maybe I sacrificed myself just for everyone to stay alive.
    When I was a toddler, growing up with previous decade stuff was almost as if I'm remembering or getting my old memory back.
    It's not 100% confirmed but it's a strong believe I had since sometime in mid 2010 or late 2000s.

    Two qualities that made the 1980s truly unique from any other point of time in history. Hope and Optimism. The 1980s did have a lot of problems in the real world but people during that time had two important qualities that truly made the 1980s feel magical and truly special and no matter how bad things got or how bad things seemed to be there was always light at the end of the dark tunnel. Hope and optimism is what made that time unique and still one of the greatest in human history. People felt like they could do anything and because they could. Their culture reflected that with movies, songs, and lifestyles. Dreams did some true because kids, teens, and young adults in the 1980s had hope and optimism two of the best of humanity's qualities that went away afterward.... it makes me sad to always realize that, but watching these videos always gives me hope and positivity. I hope someday that humanity can regain those qualities that bring out the best in people. 😊
