The public describes centrepoint kids as supervillians, lol.

"Thanks" to screentime and youtube... nowadays children don't even want to go out... they are just glued to the screen...

Some of these teenagers sounded so eloquent, sincere and intelligent. I'm surprised the standards of the time still labelled them as "punks".

Fine night for a buoy

Almost thought thats Britney lol😅

The last shot is epic. Centrepoint used to ‘dress up’ for Christmas and I remember there was an annual competition for the best decorated shopping mall in Orchard Road. The malls spent more back then in decoration during Christmas and they look much better than now. The 80s and early 90s were wonderful times. People were more relaxed and happy back then.

STOP children crossing 😂

I miss 1980s Singapore. There are too many foreigners here now. Too many foreign students too. No internet and no TikTok and yet these kids were cool and creative.

I remember seeing hiim perform with Skeeter in the 80s. My late dad loved Dear John Duet

I missed Mcd there.. cuppage hawker centre.. last Fire disco... tea dance

Wah that's cool, It's like before far east and takashimaya kids (which I was a part of in the 90s) There were the centre point kids Just hanging out because home is boring, and to make friends. Much is lost today

I saw Roger Peng , Gabriel Pereira, Keegan Siow , one of the “chick” if I could remember should be candy or jasmine whom work as a part timer at basement Cassettes shop named “Supreme music” beside Macdonald… unfortunately Roger Peng was killed 1997 at Holland Amsterdam .

From Far East kid 1981 to CP kid 1983 to 1986 & roller skates kiddo to 1988 were some sweet memories I had even till this day. 🤣

I missed the CP kids

I'm still a CP Kid at heart. I will never feel or grow old. I still listen to my favourite 80s music and in this era, techno music is my jam! I noticed some familiar faces in the video. Wishing all the CP Kids the best of life 💪

Those were the days kids nowadays are called pokemon kids 😂 different era

Why don't you find everyone in the video and do a reunion episode of sorts.

their hairstyles do not differ from what kids in california were doing with their hair in the 80s.

Now all become Centrepoint Uncles and Aunties liao.

ive got you

Would be more fantastic if Lynn Anderson joined in the singing.

❤️ 80s

Meh

stay lovin night buoys

Haha wow the effort they took dressing up

dont forget it was a time of video game arcades.. many youths hangout in arcades

Let's listen to Nu Shooz - I can't wait

Rare footage but their speeches do not match when you lip read.

0:10 last time I always told myself one day I will try to figure out how the bus fare of this bus service works. I never really took it as I don't know it's routes and I don't know it's fare system. Looks like it is gone now.

One of the Feedback anchors in this clip is my late sister, Ratna Lachman, whom I remember enjoyed interviewing these kids and airing their viewpoints.

Is this Port Angeles, Washington? It looks like the ships holding at Port A. waiting to head into seattle.

Tea dance then night disc at FIRE DISCO! Lunch at Centrepoint McDonald's in between. Those were the days!!!

Did I just see Chua En Lai being interviewed? :P

Those were the days with no internet, no smartphone and not even neighborhood malls. Very limited place and nothing much to do so youths just meet up in Orchard. Even my teenage time in 2005 a lot of youths were hanging out in Far East Plaza or Peninsula. Many kind of style. The rocker/scene, indie kids, punk, skinhead, rudeboys or just plain bengs/mats. I even remember came across expat girls dressed in goth dress. But by the time 2008 I realized the music scene kids were pretty much gone. Maybe we just grew up from that youth phase and moved on. I really miss those days where you could see random kids dressing up

Centrepoint Mall didnt last long; all the shoppers got so harassed they went elsewhere

Damn as a teenager in this generation, this is VERY DIFFERENT AHAHAHAH

Hahah now centre point is for u to go eat hot pot and buy second hand luxury HAHAHH

Can imagine how conservative the generation before this Centerpoint kids was. Just hanging out together = “Doing bad things”? 😅

It's part and parcel of growing up. And now they are daddy and mommy. My time was even earlier. The peninsula capitol theater hippie's back in the 70s. Really miss those days

2nd Chance fashion outlet in Tanjong Katong was pretty popular back then to get the shirts which they tucked out 'rebelliously'

I wonder where they are now. In good careers, health and family I hope🙂

2:00 Matrep
