I think the year was 1986 I was in Kindergarten and I had my WWF Sgt. Slaughter Ben Cooper costume, I can remember getting dressed and going to the gymnasium, as I walked in the halls all the other kids were coming down to enter the gymnasium. I had no idea what was going on but it felt like it was the biggest event on earth, my little mind couldn't grasp what was going on, all we were told was get dress there's a Halloween party and parade. When we got to the gym we lined up and then went to the playground and paraded around the field while our parents were outside cheering us all on. Then we all went to the gym and partied with the parents, teachers, and kids. These kids today will never be able to experience that fun, heck they can't barely even mention the word Halloween.

OMG!!!!!!!❤

Bumbags were great. And yup always make sure jeans were long enough to peg. In fact we even pegged baggy chinos

I’m mainly a digital watch kinda guy, but for a brief period when I was in middle school, I had a Swatch.

THE BEST OF TIMES

I loved la gear shoes I wish they would come back

I was 15 in '83 and I never ever owned a Swatch.

Swatches are still more expensive than the superb Casio's in the UK.

I almost forgot about rolled up jeans!!!!!!!

This was fun. I will never forget this stuff!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

Nice video, But what about Swatch Guards ?

As someone born in the year 2000, I can respect 80s fashion 😎 I actually own a jacket shirt with shoulder pads on them. Yeah! That's it! Shoulder pads!

Very recognizable! I got my first swatch, mc gregor, from my parents in ‘85 I think and loved it. Later I also had the turquoise bay and a jelly transparent one. All my watches got stolen 20yrs back unfortunately. Now few wks ago I found and bought a Nautilus from ‘86 in great condition via our local Ebay and I love it! Its tiny indeed, 34mm but getting used to it again. The fun thing is you see No-One wearing it😊 thanks for the nice vid.

Bullshit

I used your sound in a short and had to come see the original video. I had so many swatches and never knew what the name stood for until you 😅 Great memories surrounding this brand; thanks for the informative video! Oh, and I had completely forgotten about the Swatch Guards... A must have! ❤

Oops, sorry my son just pointed out. That wasn’t Nemo. It was flounder from the little mermaid.

I have that exact swatch on your thumbnail. Need replacement straps tho. Missed an unused one on ebay for 20 bucks ; ;

I wore acid washed jeans that were pleated and had pockets in the thighs you could unsnap and drape the pocket down that had different colored material like stripes or flowers, and my pixie sneakers that the cuff at the top would also fold down to show off a print. Loved them!

They had "skinny jeans" back then but were not called that as they had the zipper on the ankle part and they pulled there thick socks up over the bottom of jeans to hide the zipper. Loved rhe aerobics videos if gals wearing high cut leotards with various colored tights.

I became a teenager in the 1980s and it was the best years of my life. I miss the 24hr clubs in NYC.

Had one in 1987

I am glad you people don’t like them. I love them specially the chocolate.

It feels like his head will rip off going back and it’s kinda hard to pull

We would March down tje street

Im confused someone tell me

Love the 80s. Fashions. Compare that fashions

Ah yes, the world's most disgusting candy lol.

I was born in 1990 so I just barely missed it . I wish we could bring some of these styles back

Is int funny tht this style is back now like it never left ..there is really nthing new..smfh😂

Reebok white high top sneakers and Capezio white dance shoes both warn with leg warmers.

BLAND FLAVOR? NECCO wafers simply taste old-fashioned. LOTS of old candy brands taste great. They are hard to find.

Love my seconds of sweetness. It's the weirdest watch I own but love it the most 😂

Ray bans are still cool and jeans are still ripped😂

some of the 80s trends were awful, but at least effort was put into styling, verses today's generation who don't even try, or even care for that matter. looking lazy is just accepted now

Thanks. Great memories. We played Cooties circa 1960. Also had Silly Safari, Mousetrap, Green Ghost and others. (Green Ghost was circa 1966.) Also played Probe, Sorry!, Password, Scrabble and of course Monopoly. Our family sometimes got goofed up with Monopoly, since we'd want to buy property, etc., for one another.

I drank 2 of mine recently that I kept from 1994. I remember buying them brand new in 94 because it had Cal Ripken on it.

half jean/half fluffy full skirts, short jean shorts with flowery material ruffles-(possibly 90's), two pairs of socks that were two different colors either scrunched or folded, guess jeans with side zippers, flowery blouses with transparent panels.

My favorite

i’m eating them rn watching this

A late 40s woman in the house. We had great fashion, however our hair styles were questionable 😂😂

Still got 80s acid. Wash jeans. Guess acid. Wash jackets.

Still got leg. Warmers.

I love the 80s because well not that I wish that am a woman from the 80s

Was class of 1980 made 80s room. Keep my 80 concerts things keep acid. Wash jeans. Jeans. Jackets.

Thank you Spangler❤

Acid wash jeans, or parachute pants. Jelly sandals.

Florescent green Lol

tums.

In the early 90s my boy Ogre was working at Capezio Shoes at an outlet mall, and their inventory never had an exact amount of shoes, so at the end of the day, my closet was full of LA Gears, British Knights, Pumas, Reeboks and of course fine Italian leather shoes made by Capezio.
