1981 was the best year , IMO, for hard rock music!

80's best, we know everyone's phone number and visit relatives often. Movies were the best ever produced. VH1 and MTV plays nothing but music.

Our town has two record stores.

Trapper Keeper? NEEEEERD

I graduated high school in 1786, the 80's were the BEST!

I remembered in 1975 in San Antonio a grocery store called Skagg Alpha Beta until 1982 return there and it changed to Albertsons. In mid 70’s in Portsmouth, Virginia Food Fair in mall until 1980 it was gone. Currently Big Star Foods, and A&P are gone too.

This is American supermarkets from the past! 🛒 🥬 🥦 🥕 🌶️ 🌽 🇺🇸

The Walkman was actually simpler and easier. All you had to do was plug headphones in and put the tape in and press Play. Back in those days, you can visually see that your headphones are connected instead of assuming they’re connected wirelessly and have your music awkwardly play on full blast for everyone to hear

The 80's were more intolerant than now. Being gay and in high school wasn't fun. A gay dude in the 80's was a nightmare. I wish I could be born now. It wouldn't be so difficult. Just Say No! I'd like to zap into a future in which donald trump doesn't exist and people treat each other with compassion & decency. A dream world until trump is gone.

Yeah I'd like to go back to the 80's. I'm only 26 but the 20's suck so bad.

You forgot to mention about Trapper Keepers is the themes of who had the coolest Keeper from being a latest Voltron theme to transformers.

I was born 1949. I remember much about the 1950!Mg favorite was the soda fountain you could also find in crugstores!💙💙💙💙

Actually spanking kids was technically a form of discipline for when a kid misbehaves or acts up as a Christian kid growing up back then that was the only way of discipline because a spank on the butt would remind you not to be disrespectful or disobedient I would know all about that I was raised in a Christian home

🙏👍

Wish I born then , Definitely born in the wrong generation something about the society code back then made it special were everyone had each others back in acceptable times , Now everyone’s stuck up and only cares about themselves and are soft

Lots of batteries for auto reverse cassette walkman

Im not american and i feel nostalgic about the 80's 😅

I'm sorry, "Kaset" tapes?

GenX kid here. I'll keep it short. Y'all wouldn't have made it in our day. GenX, raised on hose water and neglect!

When I think of 80's movies all I think of is courtroom dramas especially Kramer V's Kramer.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Trapper keepers are still being sold they're making a comeback.

TI 99 4A Home Computer!

Physical card catalogs in libraries, index cards ruled! MTV!!

"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "War Games" Matthew Broderick!

It couldn’t have started off any better “do you believe in miracles”…..

I miss those days when you only saw white people everywhere, and that they were healthy & not obese. All you see today is fat gross entitled, narcissistic, prideful, pathetic dark skin ugly immigrants, I feel sad for white kids today.

Star wars?

they showed boy George in the 1960s well he was born in 61 but was only 9 when the 60s left. he was a 1980s . seems it talked of bare midriffs for females but started in 50s but by mid 1965 most teen to 20s and some even older ware it all summer any time warm enough and mostly braless . but overall didn't do bad . now exclude the extremes and put a middle class girs pic from then into street scen today ot a teen today in a 1960s scene there's quite alike. long straight hair most love short shorts and sandals or bare feet and even tee and tanks were similar . unfortunately the over 18 in today like to graffiti there bodies with terrible tattoos. worst thing in the late 60s inti early 70 was extreme bell bottoms trying to outdo how wide and frayed warn bottoms got no one looks good in more than slight flairs

The 80's were more than "fun" times, they were freaking AWESOME!!! 😂

The Walkman created the "mixed tapes".

I'm glad that you included multiple versions of the origin stories. I've seen different versions on several channels!

Although we never got to try an Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips in my home town we did have the wonderful H. Salt Esquire brand which was always a treat! There is still an A & W standing restaurant down the peninsula from me that's combined with a Kentucky Fried Chicken! I have it on my list of places to try one of these days!

Not that long ago I got a Jarts T-shirt with the classic box logo on it! Closest thing to my ever having or playing with those things! Haha! One time as a teenager my parents dragged me on a road trip early and I had stayed up late the night before. I took a blanket and slept in the back of our Buick Sport Wagon with the back seat folded down! Lucky my dad was a safe driver!

In northern California for roughly 30 years we had Fry's Food and Drug. Founded by Donald Fry in 1954. In the 80s his sons wanted to start up Fry's Electronics and technically be a separate entity, but they kept the same sign font! I used to laugh about it because the supermarket had a happy grocery bag mascot, but the electronics had a happy microchip that pretty much looked the same! Haha!

wiow

Life was so good before mobiles and internet👍

Thanks I was getting really tired of all the 1980's nostalgia

For me it was long hair, navy bell-bottoms, and peace signs..

Chi chis mean “Titties” 😂😂😂😂 I love it!!

Maga = 1980’s

Star Wars was released in 1977 not in the 80’s

Could not imagine the nostalgia in the 80’s

Mom& pop, stored no longers, extisited, but not should still there's other's, placed

I would give ANYTHING to go back!!!! I knew how great it was when I was growing up in it! I would totally give up cell phones and the internet to go back 🥺

The narrator’s mispronunciation of basic words like cassette is grating on my ears.

I favored the walkman for a while because it could actually fit in your pocket.

The 1980s and 1990s were the most common in the United States.

The part about "Models were not inclusive" is of course true, however the mindset behind embracing everyone despite their looks doesn't hold up in business. Every company knows all too well that it's bad for sales to use advertisements displaying fat or otherwise physically unattractive persons promoting their products. As for the 1980's mainly using white models, it's interesting that the African American women that are considered the most beautiful, are almost exclusively the ones with part Caucasian / White descent - not just from a White male's perspective, but evident from successful African American men's choice of partner.

The greatest decade of all time the 1980's. ❤❤❤❤
