      I think that's precisely why it's difficult for so many of us to look back. The fact that they were so good and we can never truly recapture it is extremely painful. At least it is for me. It gets even harder if you're someone who realized too late that they were wasting the best years of their life sitting on their ass playing video games and doing nothing else (talking about myself here and I may be suicidal yes).

    I get a similar feeling when I'm visiting the neighborhood I grew up in, 20 years ago. Houses look different, the street looks different, most of my old neighbours died, most of my friends moved far away. Businesses that used to operate there are now closed. It's almost like I'm a ghost lurking there. The place and people of my childhood exist only in my memories. And when I die, these memories will go away forever as if they never happened.

    • @emmy4537
      @emmy4537 2 роки тому +7

      It’s bittersweet and that’s how life goes unfortunately. It’s important to plan ahead for the future, however it’s just as important to enjoy yourself “in the now” as well so in the future you’ll have mostly good memories to look back on.
      It’s because I’ll die eventually that I have less anxiety now because I no longer care about what people may think of me, and that I do more of the things I want to do and make as many good interactions with people as possible.
      Before I know it, the 2020’s will be my version of the 1980’s in the sense that a lot of time would have passed by that time.

    Gosh guys thank you soooo much for this. I’m 43 and it’s so weird how much your memories of being “metal head” teens makes me nostalgic for my own memories of the same. We walked everywhere. We tried everything. We loved music. And we loved each other with pure hearts. It was a sweet time to be alive. Thanks so much for connections and memories.

    Hey, I love your videos. I'm 47, and I identify so much with your lives your history. You were me, I was you. I was a metalhead then, and I am today also. The only thing different is my parents were squares and wouldn't let me have long hair. When I was 25, I had hair reaching below my armpits (not armpit hair!) and earrings in my ears. Now, like you, I have short hair, am somewhat balding, and still fixated in some ways on the last decent decade - the 1980s! That's why I started watching your videos. You bring back great (and some not-so-great) memories, and it has been great walking down your memory lane with you and seeing how much your neighborhood (and lives) has changed.

We would just ride our bikes and stop into our local record store, comic book stores and the old infamous convenience store to buy pop, gum or whatever you could get for no more than $2. MTV was my drug of choice and my overdose would absolutely be Headbangers Ball. Thank you for these old videos.

Back then kids ruled,we were everywhere....where are those kids like us today...I don't see them. No concerts,different skaters no midnight movies...it saddens me but makes me grateful to have lived when I did..in so many ways we're the same because of when we grew up. Even though I was in northern California we could relate to each other. I'm 60 in April and my body hurts more but in my heart...I've never been younger..rock on teen brothers...thanks 😊 Adam.

    I've been watching these two all afternoon, all their vids here in 2022 from way back in the 80s. Fabulous time machine material. Honestly it's better than a cry and a cup of tea to make you feel good. In 1981 I was I was 16 and living in MN as an exchange student for a year. It all looked so similar, the times were just simpler and people didn't stress, they just made their own fun and lived their lives. If I put on my shoes and and tap my heels three times, I hope to return to those days in the 80s, after the last three years we've all endured I think a few people would join me.
