It’s weird how they don’t recoil from the camera. Today, it’s considered rude and intrusive to shove a camera in someone’s face, as you have no idea where that video could end up. But here, no ones afraid of the camera or any exposure, since they had no reason to believe that this video would wind up anywhere. Pretty strange to see.

[@KidAteMe1LetsBuildsAndMore]

Well the thing is the person holding the camera's actually pretty nice and charismatic, unlike most of the people who hold up cameras to people's faces today in order to *mostly* shame them and make fun of them.

FrobblOo The issue isn't that it's a complete culture overhaul though, there will always be friendly people and there will always be snobby anti social cunts, sure. Nostalgia obviously plays part in the sadness and happiness that this video brings, but it's a fact that drug culture runs far more rampant these days, and with the advent of social media, more and more people are beginning to feel a false sense of entitlement. When I go out, sometimes I'll have an absolute fucken blast, but more often than not, I run into a large amount of people with superiority complexes that can only be attributed to internet culture that has only emerged over the last 5-10 years. So of course we can still find friendly fun seekers and party like its 1987 today, it's just that they aren't as prevalent.

[@Steve42098]

FrobblOo WORLD STAR!!!!!

[@louloutre]

Maybe it's not only nostalgia.... I feel like so many things are so much better today : fashion, food, style in general, technology of course. Thanks to the internet, our lives have been improved A LOT : we can learn everything. How to speak a language, how to cook, how to style our hair and put our make up on, how to start a business, how to make a world tour.... Being a teenager was a nightmare till a few years ago. Except for a small minority from the upper class, nobody knew what to do with their hair, with their bad skin.... Young people were a lot more socially awkward because they couldn't improve their social skills on the internet. STILL, even if technically, except for music, a lot of things sucked..... the MINDSET was different. The 80's were about EXCITEMENT.... people felt like the world entered a new era of modernity and there was that "everything is possible" feeling. Now the most overwhelming feeling is FEAR..... fear of the future, of terrorism, of demography, of poverty. My mom always told me how young people didn't think about their old days during the 80's; Never. People didn't even think about buying houses..... renting was enough. People didn't think about the future, and that's a pretty strong indicator of a happier time for me.
