Couldn't have said it better myself. I was 2 years old in 1988, but I can still remember the early/mid-90s and how we interacted with each other. Everyone was always PRESENT and since there were no mobile phones, no one could escape or retreat into some app to avoid each other's gaze/presence. Truly wonderful, I'm glad I could at least enjoy my childhood and youth without smartphones. There's just no real depth to most relationships nowadays it seems. People have been zombified by technology.

For anyone interested, the bonus features of Party Monster: The Shockumentary show some extended footage from this day (along with a lot more that you won't see on youtube), including the full ride on the Wonder Wheel; you see everyone sharing a joint at the top of the ride, having a good time when the ride's in motion then going still and quiet whenever they reach the ground level (someone jokes: "does anybody smell marijuana?"). Nelson laments that the joint runs out too quickly and asks someone to light another one, but they only brought the one on the ride.

To give perspective, I remember they days where you could lie UNDER the boardwalk, to shelter you from the hot sun. Also, although I was young, I remember the old Spanish men selling "cerveza" from there coolers on the sand. And the rides? Wow, call them basic, but boy were they fun! Now, to get a wristband from Luna Park is around $50! Not to mention the price of concessions; I bought a slice of plain pizza on the boardwalk and it was about $6 (2019, pre Covid-19). The water doesn't even have any seashells anymore! And now, BBQs are prohibited on the beach and to go "metal" detecting or hosting a party, you need a fucking permit! 😑 The 80's, yes they were rough, but there was a certain freedom, an air of "joie de vivre", if you will, that can never replaced or replicated.

Wait, this is like a really good idea! He could probably tell other things that happened behind the scenes, or that day when Nelson wasn't filming. She could narrate and add to it... That would be absolutely brilliant.

I'd have luv'd ti have been around back then, I'm pretty sure I'd b just the rite amount of kooky/outthere to b part of their crowd/group!!! Altho seemingly quite chaotic it was really sweet to see such a ragtag bunch of sum mite say misfits an oddballs, showin real family viewing, u could really tell that they all loved one another truly, an that they were tru friendships, altho not anywhere near as fabulous or awesome, I too rely heavily on my friends as my family, we're quite a similar bunch of "ragtag misfits an oddballs" an I couldn't nor wouldn't ask not want for anythin more! I'm literally obsessed with this channel an all its subjects since I literally stumbled across a vid a cppl days ago an haven't looked back since!!!
