I'm 51. I got my drivers license in 1989. The country was much healthier. Almost everything was better. Smaller population, much cheaper food, gas, housing. Good new music.
@@ethorii People were healthier looking too. Today the average American is shockingly overweight. How do people allow themselves to live this way? Self-respect and dignity are a thing of the past in large swaths of this country.
Man, I love this style of music. I was born in 1990 and was so full of dreams and aspirations. Now it's 2024 and I'm a burnout working 50+ hours a week in healthcare with bleak hopes for the future. Wish we could hit that rewind button, I'd do so many things differently. Sending you all good vibes.
1990 baby also. i wish i could go back in time and change stuff too... but it's actually not too late to change stuff, even now. they don't even have to be big changes; life is like a dollar store, all those small things add up. i'm going back to school this september, i wouldn't tell someone else it's too late, so why tell myself ?
1987 baby here. i feel you on the 90's vibes and missing those times. my humble perspective for what its worth, we miss the 90's because it truly was a much more simple time. the world seemed to not move as fast as it does now. being an adolescent in the 90's felt exciting and everything seemed so interesting and ultimately good things were coming down the pipeline. Now in 2024, just turning 37, I have a son and another son expecting in Sept. I write this to you to let you know life does get better. you grow and mature and learn the silly games life can play on you- but ultimately good times are here in the present. this k mart version of my understanding of life is that try to keep things simple- i don't engage in the fads of social media and whats "trending". take it easy with the smart phone use and screen times. not lecturing you here, but suggestions that ive found helpful to simplify my life. enjoying what i have versus what is programmed to "influence" me of what others think i want. combining these efforts can make you more present and simplify your life.... maybe even mimic a lifestyle we had as kids growing up in the 90's... 1987 baby signing off :) keep it simple
I was 17/18 that year. I would go on to graduate from high school and join the Navy in 1990. None of the hopes and dreams of that eighteen year old young man would come to fruition, and what was once the modern present, has slipped into the distant past...and I cannot fathom how it all vanished so quickly.
My story resembles yours. I was 18 in 1985, went to a maritime school, joined the Merchant Navy in 1989. That was college of hard knocks and I'm immensely proud of it, even after all these years. Respect
Getting in bed with the Saudis bro. We followed the easy path of least resistance. Suckled on the petro dollar like little babies for a few decades, and let the evil empires grow instead of doing the hard work of building a true empire.
I was born in 1989! 👶🏻 I got to experience childhood in the mid 1990s - early 2000’s. It was a great time to be a kid at least here in the USA. We played outside all day. The internet was still in its infancy. We trusted our neighbors. We made eye contact. Human interaction was a real thing. I miss those days. Ignorance is bliss.. we didn’t know the future would be so bleak.
The 1980s, often remembered fondly for its pop culture, vibrant music, and technological advancements, also had its share of challenges and difficulties. Here's a detailed rundown of some significant issues and events that people like you often conveniently forget: Economic Issues 1. Recession and Inflation: The early 1980s saw a severe economic recession in many parts of the world, particularly in the United States and the UK. High inflation rates, unemployment, and a slow recovery process affected many households. 2. Debt Crisis: Many developing countries faced a crippling debt crisis. Latin American countries, in particular, struggled with massive external debts, leading to economic instability and hardship for their populations. Political and Social Unrest 1. Cold War Tensions: The ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. The threat of nuclear war was a constant concern, highlighted by events such as the Able Archer 83 exercise which brought the world close to a nuclear confrontation. 2. Falklands War: In 1982, Argentina and the United Kingdom went to war over the Falkland Islands. The conflict resulted in significant casualties and heightened tensions in the region. 3. Iran-Iraq War: This prolonged conflict, lasting from 1980 to 1988, caused massive destruction and loss of life. It also disrupted the global oil supply, contributing to economic instability. Health Crises 1. AIDS Epidemic: The emergence of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s caused widespread fear and confusion. The lack of understanding about the disease and its transmission led to stigma and discrimination against those affected. 2. Famine in Ethiopia: In the mid-1980s, Ethiopia experienced a devastating famine, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. The crisis garnered international attention and led to significant humanitarian efforts, including the famous Live Aid concert in 1985. Environmental Issues 1. Chernobyl Disaster: The Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 was one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. It released a massive amount of radioactive material into the environment, leading to long-term health and environmental consequences. 2. Bhopal Gas Tragedy: In 1984, a gas leak at a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, caused one of the world's worst industrial disasters. Thousands of people died, and many more suffered long-term health effects. Social Issues 1. Apartheid in South Africa: The apartheid regime in South Africa faced growing international condemnation. The internal struggle against apartheid led to significant violence and oppression, with widespread human rights abuses. 2. Racial Tensions in the US: The 1980s saw significant racial tensions in the United States, marked by incidents such as the 1980 Miami riots and the 1989 Central Park jogger case, which highlighted deep-seated issues of racism and inequality. Technological and Industrial Changes 1. Decline of Traditional Industries: The decline of traditional manufacturing industries, especially in Western countries, led to job losses and economic hardship for many workers. The shift towards a more service-oriented economy was difficult for those affected. 2. Challenger Disaster: In 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster shocked the world. The shuttle broke apart shortly after launch, killing all seven crew members and causing a temporary halt to the US space program. Conclusion While the 1980s are often remembered for their cultural vibrancy and technological progress, the decade also faced significant challenges that affected millions of lives globally. Economic struggles, political tensions, health crises, environmental disasters, and social issues all contributed to making life in the 1980s difficult for many. Just because some individuals may look back with nostalgia, it's important to recognize that not everyone had a good experience, and many faced severe hardships. Reflecting on this complexity reminds us that our memories of "good times" can often overlook the struggles and suffering of others.
@@Funkteon its weird Chernobyl... supposed to be 80,000000000 million thousand years of dead land and no life. Currently, less than 800,00000000 million years later, totally overgrown with green and animals. i think of science being off by that much...
I'm from europe but same here. I remember being outside all day long, with my bike, with my friends, I was selling little stuff to people and knocking at their doors, most of the time they invited me to drink something... nowadays I would be so stressed to do that 😅 ... Im a bit nostalgic
Funny you should say that. I remember when 1989 rolled over to 1990. I just turned 30. Still young. But I could swear to heaven I literally felt a shift in life, attitudes, and society. I remember back then thinking that I wish the calendar, times, and society could just stay in 1989. I know that doesn't sound rational. But when you see the best of times ending and feel it. You want to cling on to what brought you so much pleasure. Long live the 80's.
@@mikesaccoia5748 I literally thought I was the only one that felt that way. I'm glad to know I was not alone. I remember listening to Casey Kasem on my portable radio on the front porch swing on a beautiful fall day in 1989. I had so many good memories and 1990 was coming fast. As good as it felt, there was a slight fear to it as well.......I felt that the good times were going to be over now. Not all the good times were over, but damn most of them were. I long for the feeling of that decade.........the optimism, the patriotism, and damn, all of the good music and good times!
And the TV precariously perched on some kind of cabinet for no reason. What are some of those machines even doing 😅? Joking aside, it's a fun imaginary aesthetic to go with some nice office work tunes ❤.
Hah I was going to say the same thing, also (and AI is way away from dealing with this) her makeup isn't 80s it's far too modern looking. The hair isn't bad 😅
@@moumouchu the entire image makes no sense, nothing on this image makes any sense, from the object, person room, setting lighting everything is wrong, I basically knew from the small thumbnail this is AI crap
@@marin1419 The computers are a big part of the problem. They are highly addictive propaganda dispensers. The internet was supposed to be like the ultimate reference books but it was handed over to commercial operations to wring money and control our perspectives. There is not a single AI out there that will say a word against the narrative the System sets forth. AI is going to be as damaging as social media. The number of addicts to AI will be staggering. Far higher than the number of social media and pornography addicts. The rate of relationships will plummet further and soon people will primarily interact with their boss and the government and have little to no other in person contact with humans. The system will never report on it because it will be immensely profitable
What made the 1980s such a wonderful time for many is that technology was just enough to make life more convenient and fun without making everyone a slave to it. Children and even adults would be outside playing sports, riding bikes, swimming in the pools, playing games, or hanging out in the parks (there were parks with lots of trees and playgrounds on just about every neighborhood street corner it seemed). Shopping malls, roller skating rinks, and arcades were always packed. Pizza Huts, Blockbuster, and movie theaters were always packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Oddly enough, I don't recall as many fitness gyms as there are today. Even in the 1970s and early 1990s, it was like this too. Family values were still strong, patriotism was normal, friendships were genuine, the music was real and moved the soul, and food was not only used as nutritional medicine but was real food! And the feeling of positivity, being in control of your life, and creating your own destiny without barely any interference from government made the 1980s amazing. Sure, there were problems back then but not as crazy and chaotic as it is today. I just cannot express enough how "radical" the 1980s were. I wish everyone could go back in time and experience it.
You know from speaking on other side of the Pond In England .. I grew up as a teen in the 80`s and a young boy in the 70`s .. yes .. there were some hardship .. but everything you said .. I couldnt say it better myself .. you nailed it my friend ! Everyone was always out - riding bikes - the saying goes .. if you saw a big pile of bikes outside someones house .. you knew where all the kids were ! The music was great and yes there was optimism !
Every comment I've read reflects my own feelings. I was born in 1972. My youngest daughter just graduated from high school. I really wish she had the opportunity to live in a time pre internet and pre cell phone, as I suspect most people commenting here and myself did.
Sometimes when I'm in line at let's say a 7-11, and 17 yo kids are staring at their phones as they wait to pay for something.. I'll say to them... "you have no idea what it's like... to not have to feel like you need to stare at those screens every 20 seconds... it was freedom..." some get it, some don't.
Man, I hear ya on that. Born in 85, had a kid early in life, and my own daughter will graduate high school in 2026. She has a kind of old soul for her age, and I know she would have just loved the transition from 80s-90s-early 2000s with the tech and everything.
I hope someday science lets us switch lives from time to time, just for a short while; I mean you could swap your consciousness into someone else, and they into yours. Wouldn't that be interesting! Optionally, of course.
1950s - 70s had its own challenges with sanitation and overcrowding, depending where you lived. 1980s hit the sweet spot where technology got good enough but not planned obsolescence for profit, and people still had a value system to not backstab one another for short term gain.
@@mitchyoung93 I was there in both the 70s and the 80s and the 90s and can verify that people in the 90s wanted the 70s hence the Recreation of the disco craze and Penny Kravitz, and the Black Crowes, and etc,etc,etc...
Born in 1984, grew up in the 90’s…it’s absolutely undeniable to me that we’ve lost something. Everyone pines for the youth but this is way beyond nostalgia. The population is depressed, anxious, hyper mediated, addicted to technology and generally living the life of an npc drone with no attention span. Simultaneously the oligarchic-intel agency-big tech-globalist axis that actually runs the world reveals itself more and more everyday. Everything feels less human and I can’t help but think that’s precisely the goal.
Woke, global agendas, 2030, global warming, dictatorships, countries having less of their own people that immigrants, all about the group none about the individual, no liberties, politically correctness, corruption/ideology in the media, the fracture of civilization in two, those who wants to be free, those who wants to be your master. Of course this is beyond nostalgia, you came here to not lose your sanity at all, a small time to reflect, gain strength.
I grew up in the 80s. My kids ask about it all the time. I’ve kept games and stuff from the era, they love it. It wasn’t a perfect time but in my little world as a kid it was. So many great memories. While this is a great time in my life, I’d love to go back for awhile.
Same here. There are things to cherish in every decade. I wouldn't mind going back to a few for a visit and appreciate some pearls of timeless wisdom, but the future is where we grow.
As a child of the 90s, I could still feel that optimism during my formative years before the internet took over the world, when we had to make plans beforehand because cell phones were not ubiquitous.
I was 24 in 1989---just moved to Philadelphia and life was good (and fun). No internet, social media, etc. Music and nightlife was so much fun in '89. Sure, there were problems so but nothing like today. I would go back in a minute--it was one of my favorite years.
I was there! On "all ages nights" or sneaking in. I was 19. Revival. Memphis. The Trocadero. The Bank. Ortlieb's Jazz. South Street. I later bussed tables at Bridget Foy's. So many good times. Even work was a good time.
@@MatthewCleere Wow! Revival and Trocadero were amazing! The food festivals in the summer by the river were awesome. I lived in Center City-we would eat at one of the Midtown restaurants on New Years Day while the parades were going on. Some of the best years of my life!
@Drackleyrva Never caught the Mummers, unfortunately, but I did work at an ice cream place on front street for a few months, and I lived off Passyunk where we could see the Italian Market out the window, just a few blocks up from Pat's Steaks. Me and 2 other guys shared a 3 bedroom apt above a deli there, paying $220 rent each! You had to search around for deals like that, but at least they could be found, and the neighborhood was essentially protected by the mafia. I was saving money like crazy on a busboy's earnings. Impossible today. The sense of freedom and possibilities was so huge. It wasn't just "youth" it was being able to have almost nothing and yet not be worried about tomorrow at all.
I think 92 was my favorite year. I was born in 76 though. Loved the 80s and the 90s so much. Its a shame that the younger crowd will never realize what they lost because of the internet. No real quality moments when you are never out of touch with anyone.
During the 80's I was a kid. But even then, as a kiddo I envied the young adults like you who got be live that time period at that age. I always looked up at the teenagers, wanted to be like them, because they genuinely looked like having fun. I got to live my teenage years in the late 90s. But if I had to choose a decade to have lived my teens it would have to be the 80s. I was born 10 years late to have enjoyed the last analog party.
this has 80's "struggling against the big city"/"working after hours" written all over it, specially the first track (the best of the bunch in my opinion)
Really diggin' these vibes. I truly miss how good life felt in the late 1900's. Woah...feels weird saying that in 2024..."the late 1900's"....I'm not crying - you're crying.
Both my mom as my dad are in a fragile condition. Every time the phone rings, I am worried about bad news. Every time I visit my parents, I realise, this could be the last time I see them together. I remember, when I doing things or just was watching TV with them together in the 1980ties, they were so in the middle of life. I don't exactly know what I want to say to you, but I feel your pain.
I'm sorry about your loss man ❤ I'm 35 and the reality of mortality get ls more and more apparent as time goes. Especially when a storm comes and I can now feel it in my bones lol
I enjoy all the nostalgic comments about 1989 - yes it was a cool time to be young. I turned twenty that year and was actually going to school in France for my Junior year of college. I was there at the Berlin wall when it "fell" and there was a pervasive optimism that was nearly world-wide. Technology was just beginning to show true promise and the huge future companies like Google were just a few years away. Apple was still 3 years from releasing the I-pod which saved their company and Elon Musk was 17 years old and had just moved to Canada to avoid mandatory conscription into the South African military. An American could travel nearly anywhere, even the middle east as the Gulf War was still a year away. It really was an optimistic moment. Oh that AI generated thumbnail needs to update everything by about 10 years.
The iPod was 13(!) years away. No ipod in 1992. No mp3 format (that came in the late 90s) and no internet either unless you were employed at a university (most students only got internet access via their unis in the mid to late 90s). I got a modem and was on Fidonet and dialled into BBSs in 1993.
depends where you live, there was always problems with nazi leftovers through generations, some caused problems some managed to provoke wars, that are still to this day active, in my case ever since I know myself I been always surrounded by war and problems so to me 80s are not much different then today, the difference is that technology changed, and a number of people are still dumb and ignorant
@@steph.h. Among other things, the Internet. Human beings weren't meant for near instantaneous information and communication. It's rewired our brains to be a different type of animal.
@@steph.h. Cultural subversion, multiculturalism, social media. Those are the main 3 reasons. We are in deep shit and its going to take a lifetime to sort out. So many people are lost and not coming back.
@@RCCarDude TV/Radio was transhumanism most people handled ok due to it being passive, the internet has been a complete mind Fk. Why go anywhere? I can go there online? Why do this hobby or project? Someone else has already done it better online. Why have sex and take risk, i can do that online. Why have a conversation about anything. We can look it up online. Kids that were born into it don't really seem to be doing any better than those that weren't. They are just less grounded, not knowing why things are this way, and with no reference to the real world.
I was 6 in 1989 and I can't tell you how much I love these ambient tunes you produce, brings up such a feeling of comfort and happiness. Loved the 80's everything seemed much more simple then, and much more exiting without all the technology of today.
If there was a way to travel back in time (together with my family and a few of my friends)...maybe to the early 60s...with no chance to come back...I swear I would go. I don't care about Internet, Social Media, Smartphones or modern video games. I would be so happy to experience those eras and to spend my last years in the decade of my childhood...the 90s.
The filtered synth sounds evoke a sensation of memory, but the synth pop hits on the radio in the 80s that would have played in an office were crisp, jangly and angular, the soundtrack to a pressured time of remarkable materialism. I like this music but it evokes a time that never really happened, which maybe makes it more mysterious and dreamy. I never heard those whooshy filters until chill rooms in raves in the ‘90s, which was a place for complete outsiders.
All too right. I'm a big fan of synth- and vapourwave, but it does evoke a fantasy "1980s" that never actually happened. I get the sense a lot of people probably won't believe us when we tell them that the '80s didn't sound like this.
@@ggeemmiinnii Yes, by the 90s we might have heard Nirvana in an office if the radio had a rock station but not The Orb or Boards of Canada. Grunge broke punk to the mainstream but it would have been the late 90s the first time I heard a drum and bass rhythm in a car commercial. Before that in the ‘80s office music would be INXS and Whitney Houston, the popular sounds of the day.
My teenager also is nostalgic for the 80s, mainly thanks to Stranger Things. But if they transported back in time, I think they'd really miss their Roblox friends 😆
It is legit comforting reading through these comments and seeing so many folks around and about the same age as me, feeling the same fleeting feelings and wishing for a time we all considered as a sort of golden age. I hope that as the years flow on by, we get to witness another age that's comparable to what we had. Maybe, in the cyclical nature of things, we get lucky and were born at just the right time to get to see it all happen twice.
this sounds like a hard days work at a 80's office. I can see the montage including the typical construction worker cat calling, and the broken heal in the elevator.
I was a toddler, so absolutely true for my experience! But yes, there were many issues then too, people get too caught up in nostalgia, remembering a time that didn't exist as it's portrayed in their rose tinted eyes.
I had my first son in 1989. I was 21 yrs old. Life was still decent then. He's now 35 with 2 children who will never know how good life used to be. At least not our version of it.
The 80s were truly amazing my fondest and most heartfelt memories reside there... I wish time machines were real because I would go back in a heartbeat❤🥹.
how did I randomly stumble across these videos within the week theyre made, searched for "ethereal vaporwave" to get me through finals. god bless you man keep these up
I really admire 80s American culture. All these movies,cars,brands and atmosphere... I just wanted to get there, for an hour at least. Hello from Russia guys, stay safe!
My 2nd child born Oct 24 89. 35yrs has flown by. Thank you for this very nostalgic trip memory lane via the atmospheric music. We were all younger fitter & positive then! Good luck to us all, the world has changed & we are going to need it.
Really cool music ! Taking off start and whole love frequencies was amazing. Addictive feeling is how my mode is tempowise when im good in workflow.. Thank you ! It all feels very 80s in the best positive way.
I truly value your admiration for the 80s, although they didnt sound exactly like this, but it is close enough. The sounds are deep and nothing can compare to it.
Isn’t it strange? I work more efficiently when I pretend that I’m in the 1980s (or some time in the past). Perhaps I’m romanticising periods I haven’t been alive yet or perhaps… it feels freeing not to think about social media and the present/future.
I'm just here to sprinkle a little reality check. As a history nut, I like reminding people the world has always been a little chaotic. Many people in the Western world had a great life in the 80s - in some ways it was like a new Day-Glo-drenched working-mom 1950s. But it was also the decade of AIDS, nuclear disasters, and we were still in the Cold War. People behind the Iron Curtain had a completely different 80s experience. Just sayin'! We also have opportunities now we didn't have in the 80s. I make income for my family writing on the internet. If I had a family in the 80s, I'd probably be completely dependent on my husband, like my mom was. My dad had to join the Army because there were no other opportunities for a young family where he was from. The internet has changed everything, folks! If you long for a simpler time, create a beautiful life for yourself and your family as best you can and raise your kids to appreciate all of life's experiences. They'll create the decades to come. We create our experiences now. This music is pretty chill, though. 😄
in 1989 I was 20 and in love with the woman in our office with one leg (I don't think she was A.I. generated). So 1) I guess we didn't mind and 2) I didn't expect to think that much about 1989 today
@PhaedrusAK no matter when you live, there you are. I look at video of the 80s sometimes, and the business signs and cars and clothes look almost exotic now, but at the time, it felt like today feels to us now. In order to see where you are now, you have to be somewhere else later.
When I was a kid in the 80's I didn't realize I was living in America's greatest time. A lot of things are amazing now too, but before 2000 it was like a dream.
1:00 I caught this wave that people write about here.. a mixed feeling of intense sadness for those times and dreams and a tremulous feeling that somewhere there is such a corner of the earth.. but since the same people as me, but from other continents, write here, then this feeling remains only inside us.. But how nice it is, guys.. It was another planet and another world, it seems to me that we were all transferred to another reality from that beautiful world.. what happened to the planet? In Siberia, I can still switch myself to these feelings by leaving for some small town.. P.S. everyone probably has flashbacks from those times, and when they illuminate me, I get goosebumps, it is so nice, it is so mesmerizing and I don’t want to let go of this feeling
Using AI for the photos isn't producing it yourself. AI steals from other artists on the internet and slams it all into a photo. I admire the effort on everything else though.
@@Majeye I use AI mainly for photo realistic images such as the one in this video. It allows me to avoid taking copyrighted pictures without permission. And allows me to focus on my main skill that is is making music. I am not a graphic designer nor a photograph. My first goal is to distribute high quality music. But I completly understand your point.
Stuck in the office in 1989? No, I was stuck in school. Or pretending to be sick at school and going to the nurses office so that my mom would get me out. At least that's what I hoped for. The nurse got real tired of seeing me everyday.

Man, I love this style of music. I was born in 1990 and was so full of dreams and aspirations. Now it's 2024 and I'm a burnout working 50+ hours a week in healthcare with bleak hopes for the future. Wish we could hit that rewind button, I'd do so many things differently. Sending you all good vibes.
keep going, from one 1990 baby to another. It gets better.
1990 baby also. i wish i could go back in time and change stuff too... but it's actually not too late to change stuff, even now. they don't even have to be big changes; life is like a dollar store, all those small things add up. i'm going back to school this september, i wouldn't tell someone else it's too late, so why tell myself ?
The 90s was the last "great" decade - it wasn't perfect but it was a better time for sure - hopefully we can get back there someday.
1987 baby here. i feel you on the 90's vibes and missing those times. my humble perspective for what its worth, we miss the 90's because it truly was a much more simple time. the world seemed to not move as fast as it does now. being an adolescent in the 90's felt exciting and everything seemed so interesting and ultimately good things were coming down the pipeline. Now in 2024, just turning 37, I have a son and another son expecting in Sept. I write this to you to let you know life does get better. you grow and mature and learn the silly games life can play on you- but ultimately good times are here in the present.
this k mart version of my understanding of life is that try to keep things simple- i don't engage in the fads of social media and whats "trending". take it easy with the smart phone use and screen times. not lecturing you here, but suggestions that ive found helpful to simplify my life. enjoying what i have versus what is programmed to "influence" me of what others think i want. combining these efforts can make you more present and simplify your life.... maybe even mimic a lifestyle we had as kids growing up in the 90's...
1987 baby signing off :) keep it simple
What would you do different?
When the mall was cool, and the optimism was off the charts.
I remember...
I 'member
Meet you at the Sbarro bruh
yeah.. oh brother , things we so different back then... reminiscing...
Absolutely. So very true. Crazy how it's the opposite now and that old world has been totally destroyed.
I was 17/18 that year. I would go on to graduate from high school and join the Navy in 1990. None of the hopes and dreams of that eighteen year old young man would come to fruition, and what was once the modern present, has slipped into the distant past...and I cannot fathom how it all vanished so quickly.
yep... gone forever. i am grateful for having been alive during that time. no idea what the hell is going on anymore.... world is going crazy.
Same only joined army and graduated a year earlier
My story resembles yours. I was 18 in 1985, went to a maritime school, joined the Merchant Navy in 1989. That was college of hard knocks and I'm immensely proud of it, even after all these years.

@@petebondurant58 Yep, pretty soon everyone’s life becomes the opening credits of F is for Family.
Getting in bed with the Saudis bro. We followed the easy path of least resistance. Suckled on the petro dollar like little babies for a few decades, and let the evil empires grow instead of doing the hard work of building a true empire.
I feel comfy here, reading all these comments and thinking about their lives. Take care
I was born in 1989! 👶🏻 I got to experience childhood in the mid 1990s - early 2000’s. It was a great time to be a kid at least here in the USA. We played outside all day. The internet was still in its infancy. We trusted our neighbors. We made eye contact. Human interaction was a real thing. I miss those days. Ignorance is bliss.. we didn’t know the future would be so bleak.
For me it was the mid 70's to mid 80's - I feel for anyone born after 2000.
the future isn't bleak, your perception of it is
The 1980s, often remembered fondly for its pop culture, vibrant music, and technological advancements, also had its share of challenges and difficulties. Here's a detailed rundown of some significant issues and events that people like you often conveniently forget:
Economic Issues
1. Recession and Inflation: The early 1980s saw a severe economic recession in many parts of the world, particularly in the United States and the UK. High inflation rates, unemployment, and a slow recovery process affected many households.
2. Debt Crisis: Many developing countries faced a crippling debt crisis. Latin American countries, in particular, struggled with massive external debts, leading to economic instability and hardship for their populations.
Political and Social Unrest
1. Cold War Tensions: The ongoing Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union created an atmosphere of fear and uncertainty. The threat of nuclear war was a constant concern, highlighted by events such as the Able Archer 83 exercise which brought the world close to a nuclear confrontation.
2. Falklands War: In 1982, Argentina and the United Kingdom went to war over the Falkland Islands. The conflict resulted in significant casualties and heightened tensions in the region.
3. Iran-Iraq War: This prolonged conflict, lasting from 1980 to 1988, caused massive destruction and loss of life. It also disrupted the global oil supply, contributing to economic instability.
Health Crises
1. AIDS Epidemic: The emergence of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s caused widespread fear and confusion. The lack of understanding about the disease and its transmission led to stigma and discrimination against those affected.
2. Famine in Ethiopia: In the mid-1980s, Ethiopia experienced a devastating famine, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. The crisis garnered international attention and led to significant humanitarian efforts, including the famous Live Aid concert in 1985.
Environmental Issues
1. Chernobyl Disaster: The Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 was one of the worst nuclear accidents in history. It released a massive amount of radioactive material into the environment, leading to long-term health and environmental consequences.
2. Bhopal Gas Tragedy: In 1984, a gas leak at a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India, caused one of the world's worst industrial disasters. Thousands of people died, and many more suffered long-term health effects.
Social Issues
1. Apartheid in South Africa: The apartheid regime in South Africa faced growing international condemnation. The internal struggle against apartheid led to significant violence and oppression, with widespread human rights abuses.
2. Racial Tensions in the US: The 1980s saw significant racial tensions in the United States, marked by incidents such as the 1980 Miami riots and the 1989 Central Park jogger case, which highlighted deep-seated issues of racism and inequality.
Technological and Industrial Changes
1. Decline of Traditional Industries: The decline of traditional manufacturing industries, especially in Western countries, led to job losses and economic hardship for many workers. The shift towards a more service-oriented economy was difficult for those affected.
2. Challenger Disaster: In 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster shocked the world. The shuttle broke apart shortly after launch, killing all seven crew members and causing a temporary halt to the US space program.
Conclusion
While the 1980s are often remembered for their cultural vibrancy and technological progress, the decade also faced significant challenges that affected millions of lives globally. Economic struggles, political tensions, health crises, environmental disasters, and social issues all contributed to making life in the 1980s difficult for many. Just because some individuals may look back with nostalgia, it's important to recognize that not everyone had a good experience, and many faced severe hardships. Reflecting on this complexity reminds us that our memories of "good times" can often overlook the struggles and suffering of others.
@@Funkteon its weird Chernobyl... supposed to be 80,000000000 million thousand years of dead land and no life. Currently, less than 800,00000000 million years later, totally overgrown with green and animals. i think of science being off by that much...
I'm from europe but same here. I remember being outside all day long, with my bike, with my friends, I was selling little stuff to people and knocking at their doors, most of the time they invited me to drink something... nowadays I would be so stressed to do that 😅 ... Im a bit nostalgic

Funny you should say that. I remember when 1989 rolled over to 1990. I just turned 30. Still young. But I could swear to heaven I literally felt a shift in life, attitudes, and society. I remember back then thinking that I wish the calendar, times, and society could just stay in 1989. I know that doesn't sound rational. But when you see the best of times ending and feel it. You want to cling on to what brought you so much pleasure. Long live the 80's.
@@mikesaccoia5748 I literally thought I was the only one that felt that way. I'm glad to know I was not alone. I remember listening to Casey Kasem on my portable radio on the front porch swing on a beautiful fall day in 1989. I had so many good memories and 1990 was coming fast. As good as it felt, there was a slight fear to it as well.......I felt that the good times were going to be over now. Not all the good times were over, but damn most of them were. I long for the feeling of that decade.........the optimism, the patriotism, and damn, all of the good music and good times!
The hands 😨 The hands are always the giveaway. Great tracks though!
I know ahah so hard to fix the hands 😅 happy you like the music tho ❤️
And the TV precariously perched on some kind of cabinet for no reason. What are some of those machines even doing 😅? Joking aside, it's a fun imaginary aesthetic to go with some nice office work tunes ❤.

@@marin1419 The computers are a big part of the problem. They are highly addictive propaganda dispensers. The internet was supposed to be like the ultimate reference books but it was handed over to commercial operations to wring money and control our perspectives. There is not a single AI out there that will say a word against the narrative the System sets forth. AI is going to be as damaging as social media. The number of addicts to AI will be staggering. Far higher than the number of social media and pornography addicts. The rate of relationships will plummet further and soon people will primarily interact with their boss and the government and have little to no other in person contact with humans. The system will never report on it because it will be immensely profitable
What made the 1980s such a wonderful time for many is that technology was just enough to make life more convenient and fun without making everyone a slave to it. Children and even adults would be outside playing sports, riding bikes, swimming in the pools, playing games, or hanging out in the parks (there were parks with lots of trees and playgrounds on just about every neighborhood street corner it seemed). Shopping malls, roller skating rinks, and arcades were always packed. Pizza Huts, Blockbuster, and movie theaters were always packed on Friday and Saturday nights. Oddly enough, I don't recall as many fitness gyms as there are today. Even in the 1970s and early 1990s, it was like this too. Family values were still strong, patriotism was normal, friendships were genuine, the music was real and moved the soul, and food was not only used as nutritional medicine but was real food! And the feeling of positivity, being in control of your life, and creating your own destiny without barely any interference from government made the 1980s amazing. Sure, there were problems back then but not as crazy and chaotic as it is today. I just cannot express enough how "radical" the 1980s were. I wish everyone could go back in time and experience it.
My life has all of that now. I hope it stays like this.
well said. technology was fun, convenient, handy and a novelty. it hadn't yet taken over our lives and destroyed culture and interpersonal interaction
You know from speaking on other side of the Pond In England .. I grew up as a teen in the 80`s and a young boy in the 70`s .. yes .. there were some hardship .. but everything you said .. I couldnt say it better myself .. you nailed it my friend ! Everyone was always out - riding bikes - the saying goes .. if you saw a big pile of bikes outside someones house .. you knew where all the kids were ! The music was great and yes there was optimism !
damn straight jimmy
Without internet, Netflix, or smartphones, etc., it was boring to stay inside back then.
Unless it was raining, everyone was usually out.
Every comment I've read reflects my own feelings. I was born in 1972. My youngest daughter just graduated from high school. I really wish she had the opportunity to live in a time pre internet and pre cell phone, as I suspect most people commenting here and myself did.
Sometimes when I'm in line at let's say a 7-11, and 17 yo kids are staring at their phones as they wait to pay for something.. I'll say to them... "you have no idea what it's like... to not have to feel like you need to stare at those screens every 20 seconds... it was freedom..." some get it, some don't.

Man, I hear ya on that. Born in 85, had a kid early in life, and my own daughter will graduate high school in 2026. She has a kind of old soul for her age, and I know she would have just loved the transition from 80s-90s-early 2000s with the tech and everything.
I feel so comfy here, reading all these comments and imagining everyone's lives.

I hope someday science lets us switch lives from time to time, just for a short while; I mean you could swap your consciousness into someone else, and they into yours. Wouldn't that be interesting! Optionally, of course.
People in the 80s and 90s were longing for an earlier time as well. Live it up you're in a future generations idea of heaven
1950s - 70s had its own challenges with sanitation and overcrowding, depending where you lived. 1980s hit the sweet spot where technology got good enough but not planned obsolescence for profit, and people still had a value system to not backstab one another for short term gain.
I like that. Good one..

Born in 1984, grew up in the 90’s…it’s absolutely undeniable to me that we’ve lost something. Everyone pines for the youth but this is way beyond nostalgia. The population is depressed, anxious, hyper mediated, addicted to technology and generally living the life of an npc drone with no attention span. Simultaneously the oligarchic-intel agency-big tech-globalist axis that actually runs the world reveals itself more and more everyday. Everything feels less human and I can’t help but think that’s precisely the goal.
Speak the truth.
Woke, global agendas, 2030, global warming, dictatorships, countries having less of their own people that immigrants, all about the group none about the individual, no liberties, politically correctness, corruption/ideology in the media, the fracture of civilization in two, those who wants to be free, those who wants to be your master. Of course this is beyond nostalgia, you came here to not lose your sanity at all, a small time to reflect, gain strength.
Sept 30th 1984 here. And there isn't a single letter of a single word in a single sentence that you wrote that isn't pure truth.
I grew up in the 80s. My kids ask about it all the time. I’ve kept games and stuff from the era, they love it. It wasn’t a perfect time but in my little world as a kid it was. So many great memories. While this is a great time in my life, I’d love to go back for awhile.
The 70s were even better. I wouldn't trade that experience to be 15 years old now, with everything dominated by phones and computers.
Same here. There are things to cherish in every decade. I wouldn't mind going back to a few for a visit and appreciate some pearls of timeless wisdom, but the future is where we grow.
im so sad i have no one left in this world...mom i miss you so much looking forward to seeing you again . . .
❤🌻
I'm 45; lucky enough to have both parents still on this plane of existence. I'm grateful for them every day.
Love from the midwest.
As a child of the 90s, I could still feel that optimism during my formative years before the internet took over the world, when we had to make plans beforehand because cell phones were not ubiquitous.
I was born in 1985. The 80s contain my earliest memories. This will never not be comforting to me.
"Monica, I'd like you to take this dictation...and my heart."
Those times.When a friend's hug was equivalent to a million likes
I was 24 in 1989---just moved to Philadelphia and life was good (and fun). No internet, social media, etc. Music and nightlife was so much fun in '89. Sure, there were problems so but nothing like today. I would go back in a minute--it was one of my favorite years.
I was there! On "all ages nights" or sneaking in. I was 19. Revival. Memphis. The Trocadero. The Bank. Ortlieb's Jazz. South Street. I later bussed tables at Bridget Foy's. So many good times. Even work was a good time.
@@MatthewCleere Wow! Revival and Trocadero were amazing! The food festivals in the summer by the river were awesome. I lived in Center City-we would eat at one of the Midtown restaurants on New Years Day while the parades were going on. Some of the best years of my life!
@Drackleyrva Never caught the Mummers, unfortunately, but I did work at an ice cream place on front street for a few months, and I lived off Passyunk where we could see the Italian Market out the window, just a few blocks up from Pat's Steaks. Me and 2 other guys shared a 3 bedroom apt above a deli there, paying $220 rent each! You had to search around for deals like that, but at least they could be found, and the neighborhood was essentially protected by the mafia. I was saving money like crazy on a busboy's earnings. Impossible today. The sense of freedom and possibilities was so huge. It wasn't just "youth" it was being able to have almost nothing and yet not be worried about tomorrow at all.
I think 92 was my favorite year. I was born in 76 though. Loved the 80s and the 90s so much. Its a shame that the younger crowd will never realize what they lost because of the internet. No real quality moments when you are never out of touch with anyone.
During the 80's I was a kid. But even then, as a kiddo I envied the young adults like you who got be live that time period at that age. I always looked up at the teenagers, wanted to be like them, because they genuinely looked like having fun. I got to live my teenage years in the late 90s. But if I had to choose a decade to have lived my teens it would have to be the 80s. I was born 10 years late to have enjoyed the last analog party.
this has 80's "struggling against the big city"/"working after hours" written all over it, specially the first track (the best of the bunch in my opinion)
Really diggin' these vibes. I truly miss how good life felt in the late 1900's. Woah...feels weird saying that in 2024..."the late 1900's"....I'm not crying - you're crying.

I lost my dear father yesterday at 76.... my mind is in a daze a cloud of emotions unable to think clearly.... this video is helping a little
Take care of yourself my friend you are not alone
Both my mom as my dad are in a fragile condition. Every time the phone rings, I am worried about bad news. Every time I visit my parents, I realise, this could be the last time I see them together. I remember, when I doing things or just was watching TV with them together in the 1980ties, they were so in the middle of life. I don't exactly know what I want to say to you, but I feel your pain.
I'm sorry about your loss man ❤ I'm 35 and the reality of mortality get ls more and more apparent as time goes. Especially when a storm comes and I can now feel it in my bones lol
sending out best wishes to you and your family. take care bro,
Sorry for your lost, I senda a hug for your soul.
I enjoy all the nostalgic comments about 1989 - yes it was a cool time to be young. I turned twenty that year and was actually going to school in France for my Junior year of college. I was there at the Berlin wall when it "fell" and there was a pervasive optimism that was nearly world-wide. Technology was just beginning to show true promise and the huge future companies like Google were just a few years away. Apple was still 3 years from releasing the I-pod which saved their company and Elon Musk was 17 years old and had just moved to Canada to avoid mandatory conscription into the South African military. An American could travel nearly anywhere, even the middle east as the Gulf War was still a year away. It really was an optimistic moment.
Oh that AI generated thumbnail needs to update everything by about 10 years.
The iPod was 13(!) years away. No ipod in 1992. No mp3 format (that came in the late 90s) and no internet either unless you were employed at a university (most students only got internet access via their unis in the mid to late 90s). I got a modem and was on Fidonet and dialled into BBSs in 1993.
@@TheFeldhamsterThey had mp3s in the mid 90s.
In 1989 people were still excited about life and the future. They still made love and weren't complete psychopaths like today.
people of today are children of the people of these days... so what went wrong inbetween ?
depends where you live, there was always problems with nazi leftovers through generations, some caused problems some managed to provoke wars, that are still to this day active, in my case ever since I know myself I been always surrounded by war and problems so to me 80s are not much different then today, the difference is that technology changed, and a number of people are still dumb and ignorant

If there was a way to travel back in time (together with my family and a few of my friends)...maybe to the early 60s...with no chance to come back...I swear I would go. I don't care about Internet, Social Media, Smartphones or modern video games. I would be so happy to experience those eras and to spend my last years in the decade of my childhood...the 90s.
quantum leap
Feel like I'm in Hawkins, Indiana, watching these kids riding around on their bicycles.
The filtered synth sounds evoke a sensation of memory, but the synth pop hits on the radio in the 80s that would have played in an office were crisp, jangly and angular, the soundtrack to a pressured time of remarkable materialism. I like this music but it evokes a time that never really happened, which maybe makes it more mysterious and dreamy. I never heard those whooshy filters until chill rooms in raves in the ‘90s, which was a place for complete outsiders.
All too right. I'm a big fan of synth- and vapourwave, but it does evoke a fantasy "1980s" that never actually happened. I get the sense a lot of people probably won't believe us when we tell them that the '80s didn't sound like this.
Those rooms were pretty much the only areas I hung out in at parties as a 90s raver in the midwest...not an outsider, but an outlier.
@@ggeemmiinnii Yes, by the 90s we might have heard Nirvana in an office if the radio had a rock station but not The Orb or Boards of Canada. Grunge broke punk to the mainstream but it would have been the late 90s the first time I heard a drum and bass rhythm in a car commercial. Before that in the ‘80s office music would be INXS and Whitney Houston, the popular sounds of the day.

Born in 1974 so the 80s were my formative years. For me it was an awesome decade to be around.
When life was a lot simpler.
this sounds like a hard days work at a 80's office. I can see the montage including the typical construction worker cat calling, and the broken heal in the elevator.
Remember, if you were happy in 1989, it doesn't mean there weren't miserable people around the world. You just didn't KNOW about them.

I was a toddler, so absolutely true for my experience!
But yes, there were many issues then too, people get too caught up in nostalgia, remembering a time that didn't exist as it's portrayed in their rose tinted eyes.

Isn’t it strange? I work more efficiently when I pretend that I’m in the 1980s (or some time in the past). Perhaps I’m romanticising periods I haven’t been alive yet or perhaps… it feels freeing not to think about social media and the present/future.

Little did I know I was living in such an iconic era! Wish I had it back.
I'm just here to sprinkle a little reality check. As a history nut, I like reminding people the world has always been a little chaotic. Many people in the Western world had a great life in the 80s - in some ways it was like a new Day-Glo-drenched working-mom 1950s. But it was also the decade of AIDS, nuclear disasters, and we were still in the Cold War. People behind the Iron Curtain had a completely different 80s experience. Just sayin'!
We also have opportunities now we didn't have in the 80s. I make income for my family writing on the internet. If I had a family in the 80s, I'd probably be completely dependent on my husband, like my mom was. My dad had to join the Army because there were no other opportunities for a young family where he was from. The internet has changed everything, folks! If you long for a simpler time, create a beautiful life for yourself and your family as best you can and raise your kids to appreciate all of life's experiences. They'll create the decades to come. We create our experiences now.
This music is pretty chill, though. 😄
That dress suit though….. ❤
Not sure what this sound is supposed to be, but the lady in the screen is smokin'!
Shes a catch, if you don't mind her having six fingers on her left hand.
in 1989 I was 20 and in love with the woman in our office with one leg (I don't think she was A.I. generated). So 1) I guess we didn't mind and 2) I didn't expect to think that much about 1989 today
@PhaedrusAK no matter when you live, there you are. I look at video of the 80s sometimes, and the business signs and cars and clothes look almost exotic now, but at the time, it felt like today feels to us now. In order to see where you are now, you have to be somewhere else later.
She's a catch AND a witch.
When I was a kid in the 80's I didn't realize I was living in America's greatest time. A lot of things are amazing now too, but before 2000 it was like a dream.
I LOVE VAPORWAVE. 🩷 I was born in 1980. I love this upload. 🤎
1:00 I caught this wave that people write about here.. a mixed feeling of intense sadness for those times and dreams and a tremulous feeling that somewhere there is such a corner of the earth.. but since the same people as me, but from other continents, write here, then this feeling remains only inside us.. But how nice it is, guys.. It was another planet and another world, it seems to me that we were all transferred to another reality from that beautiful world.. what happened to the planet? In Siberia, I can still switch myself to these feelings by leaving for some small town..
P.S. everyone probably has flashbacks from those times, and when they illuminate me, I get goosebumps, it is so nice, it is so mesmerizing and I don’t want to let go of this feeling
The template is a tour in the time, go on in 80s.
Very good.
1989... I was 10 years old and I had nice yellow neon shorts!
Same and same.
Hey guys ! I started a new project (as always I produce everything my self) check it out ❤️ : ua-cam.com/video/Iv_NPZbRoK8/v-deo.html
Using AI for the photos isn't producing it yourself. AI steals from other artists on the internet and slams it all into a photo. I admire the effort on everything else though.
@@Majeye I use AI mainly for photo realistic images such as the one in this video. It allows me to avoid taking copyrighted pictures without permission. And allows me to focus on my main skill that is is making music. I am not a graphic designer nor a photograph. My first goal is to distribute high quality music. But I completly understand your point.
@@babymurcielaga The problem with AI, in its current form, is that images generated are using copywrited images without any attribution.
Stuck in the office in 1989? No, I was stuck in school. Or pretending to be sick at school and going to the nurses office so that my mom would get me out. At least that's what I hoped for. The nurse got real tired of seeing me everyday.
This is so nostalgic, and beautiful,it literally hurts.💔
I can confirm: This is what 1989 sounded like. Well done.
I love it, I remember '89 sounding closer to Def Leopard, it was a hairier time. I see kids are wearing mullets and tashes again.
That hairstyler who's looks more like something from the 60s or 70s ,80s hairstyles are more poofy in the East Coast and easy breezy in the West
The music, the thumbnail….good stuff 👍👍
The offices productivity level rises.
