Who is the artist of the image is an AI ?

[@GalacticDrive]

@@IdentifiantE.S yeah I just play around with different inputs on Midjourney, then do some final edits and animations. I try to stick to the overall vibe of the music when playing around with the images😃

[@maurinoana]

Amazing!!! Greetings from Brazil!!!

[@CosmicStardew]

This longing isn't just nostalgia it's a powerful desire to connect with an era that feels more real, more alive. The 80s, in my imagination, are a time of unbridled freedom, where life was lived fiercely and passionately. In that decade, the world pulsed with a more vivid, untamed energy, and I ache to experience it. To step into a dimension where the 80s are just beginning, to immerse myself in that rich dynamic of sights, sounds, and emotions that would be a dream, a chance to touch a part of history that my heart inexplicably calls home.

[@thomas_xsg]

Exactly how I feel and thank you for expressing it so eloquently. The 80's were of another world, a completely different time and what an era to be young. I pity the teens of today to never have felt that free and careless.

[@WarDaft]

Honestly, a lot of 80s movies about corporate dystopias set in the 2020s are actually playing out better than real life. because the movies actually had happy endings, and we just have higher rent.

[@SaithMasu12]

80s and 90s all the way. That were the times. I would go back if i could. Life was much easier back then.

[@GalacticDrive]

Too true!

[@TheWatchernator]

The progression paradox states that many of the things to make our life easier, actually don't make our lives more enjoyable.

[@newretrowave01]

The 80s truly encapsulated an era of unparalleled greatness, and its music remains an eternal testament to that golden age.

[@gunslinger2501]

The best times of my life were in the 80’s!!! Not like the trash happening now.

[@darthprime4916]

AMEN to that

[@darthprime4916]

[@HighTide_808]

Me too but you literally have a super computer in your pocket that let you complain about a time without super computers 🤨

[@akirahojo2]

Every generation has its ups and downs, but I understand your comment. We are experiencing a spiralling down of the modern civilisation.

[@dee1458]

*GLORIOUS 80s!!!* Indeed, the FIRST decade that enjoyed the widespread start of consumer tech. BUT was still early enough that most things people needed to do, work for, sweat for and enjoy --- were still very "analog" and simple. *Like for example using the rotary phone and calling your crush (and hope no one eavesdrops on the shared line) then strategically sending hand-written perfume-infused love letters via snail mail and hoping the postman (or a suspicious father) won't intercept and open it before your crush could.*

[@GalacticDrive]

Totally agree! How do you think the 80s compares to this day and age?

[@scandisamurai8899]

I've never tried to name a song before, so here goes: Track 1: Carry Me Free Track 2: Arcade Track 3: Your Heartbeat Track 4: Horsepower Track 6: Tokyo Nightlife Track 7: Tell You a Tale Track 11: Coming Over Track 13: All in Good Time Track 14: What I Need Track 15: Dynamo Track 16: Midnight Dance Track 17: Dig Deeper Track 18: You and Me Forever Track 19: Beyond Track 20: Slow Pulse Track 21: Naturally Track 22: Stars in the Sky Track 23: Racing to You Track 24: Connection Hope that helps; Thanks!

Well for a first time you did awesome! They are great suggestions🫶

[@paulmartin5646]

Man, I didn't live in the eighties (I was born in 92'), but I feel so attracted to those times, I love the music, the fashion, the way to express things...I don't know, life then seemed to be so real, so free and so wild. If there's another dimension I'd like to go to one where the eighties are just beginning and stay there for a while 🔥

[@GalacticDrive]

Maybe mankind will invent a back to the future style time machine and you can head back!😆😎 Thanks for the comment and the support!

The 80s truly held some of the most cherished moments of my life! It's hard to compare to the current state of affairs, which often feels disheartening.

[@GalacticDrive]

@@hutitch2647 Hi again, thanks for the support recently🙂I’ve been very fortunate that my channel has been received super well. Ironically, I was only just accepted into the KZbin partner program around 10 days ago, but then immediately removed. KZbin deemed my channel as “reused content” that “does not offer any value to viewers”. I feel this claim is 100% incorrect and false! I’ve asked for examples, and they won’t tell me, which is just crazy. I also asked how could a human from KZbin initially review my channel and accept me and my content into the program, but then an automated bot remove me? Again they didn’t answer! So I’m now reaching out to my supporters and subscribers for help. If you can spare a few minutes, it would mean the world to me if you could reach out to KZbin via any handle you have. On Twitter, you can tweet them @TeamKZbin. On Instagram you can message them on their page KZbin, on Facebook you can find their page as KZbin. You can even send them an email at [e-mail]. If you could please reach out to them in any way, mention my KZbin handle GalacticDrive and tell them how you as a KZbin supporter find value in my content and that my removal from the KZbin partner program should be reversed immediately. I’m hoping if I can get enough support from my subscribers then KZbin will listen and agree that my content does offer value to you😄 Thanks so much for your help! 🙏🏼
