In 1985 I was a teenage metalhead, long hair, wearing the leather jacket, Iron Maiden t-shirt and smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. But I was also a music fan, so I would be taping whatever songs I felt were catchy from the radio on those shitty clear no-name cassettes. Obsession was one of them. Listened to this, pretty much all year (along with Zeppelin, Maiden, etc) on my family trip to Florida, when I skipped off school, when I got my first real job, etc. Obsession will always transport me back to 1985. That's my story.

[@CDavis-jt5fh]

You just described my teen years, as well as most of my friends. A few of us had denim jackets, but other than that you described 1985 perfectly.

[@allanburton8115]

Back in 1985, they changed the recipie in Coke and they called it "New Coke". The result was so bad that after just 3 months, they went back to the original formula and released it as "Classic Coke".

[@johnkalap9314]

Same, but I had outgrown metal by 1984, got my hair cut and got into Spandau Ballet, Alphaville, Modern Talking, the Cure, INXS, and other New wave/Romantic bands. Still love the classic metal bands, though.

[@darthmauljr]

I was 16 in 1985 so the 80's were my teen years. AMEN to what you said. I rode a Triumph motorcycle and had long hair, and denim jacket. DONT forget the rhinestones in the early 80's.

I was friends with David “Frenchy” O’Brien (Animotion’s drummer) through my mom (who he worked with in the Los Angeles Library system). He always used to give me & my friends tickets to his shows when he was with Red Zone and then Animotion. He would also give me tickets to other clubs when he had extras. I lost touch with him after the death of my mother in 2002. This video came up on my KZbin recommendations so I started watching it and looked up Frenchy online… That’s when I found out he passed away in 2019 at the age of 71. He was a prince of a person. My mom found him to be one of the funniest people she ever met. He was always helpful with advice for me regarding music and the bands I played in. Rest well, Frenchy. Thanks for being a beautiful soul. Say hello to my mom. ✌🏽❤️💔

[@NatalieValentina6]

@@kt1pl2 Firstly, they said stalker/creep, & I'll die on the hill that the male protagonist in that song is a creep. He straight-up ridicules, threatens, & gaslights her in the lyrics. He acts as if her accomplishments are solely due to HIS efforts. Plus when you read meaning into the lyrics, he's exhibiting stalker-like behavior, e.g. not taking "no" as an answer, not believing/wanting to abide by the fact that she says she doesn't want to see him. Perhaps he wasn't expecting a break-up, but his reaction is telling. He's not broken-hearted that she left, he's PISSED that she had the nerve to leave him without his permission. "You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up And turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too. Don't. Don't you want me? You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me Don't. Don't you want me? You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me It's much too late to find When you think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry Don't you want me, baby?"

[@christinamarcet1780]

Growing up in the 80s, my first exposure to this song was at a the roller rink as a kid. I remember it! The second this song started, the DJ brought all the house lights down but these flashing purple lights and lasers of some sort, and of course a disco ball was deployed, raining its reflections throughout the room. People starting pouring into the rink from the sidelines, and there we were, racing around the circular track with this new sound PUMPING out of the sound system, our minds blown by those synthesized blasts. There hadn't been a song like this before -- it was breaking ground. I never saw the visuals of the video until today -- personally I think the song is better, grittier, if you don't know what the singers looked like. Watching this on a laptop today delivers only a fraction of the magic that was hearing it in such a dark and kinetic setting, all of us in motion, on wheels and at speed. I would love to experience this in a roller rink again!

I was born in the mid 70s, so I consider myself an 80s kid. While I agree it was great to hear all these songs for the first time, when they came out, I disagree that 'only those who were young enough can really appreciate it'. Anyone can appreciate it, if they actually appreciate it. That's like saying only those who were in attendance of Mozart playing the piano can appreciate him. People will always appreciate it.

great videos?? u blind? we had it all, but videos nope...

@@mrpositronia I agree to a point, maybe. The thing is if someone today is young enough, they've never really had the opportunity to live unplugged or gone days and weeks without "content". Personally I think the biggest gift of the days before the internet isn't culture or music; it's having had to live with boredom and quiet sometimes.

it's a gray area. I tend to group myself more strongly with millenials. I can see a big difference between someone born in say 1975 vs 1980. I was too young to get into MTV till it was already on its way out in the mid 90s. Millenials are more likely to still be living with their parents after 25.
