Current Times Suck, The 80's and Early 90's Rocked

[@silverpro8356]

Dude the early 80s and 90s were amazing hey it was so cozy and everyone was close and family. Now no one talks to each other.

[@Adam63545]

It’s even worse in 2019, I’d love to be back in 2008 when this vid was made

[@Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong]

And now everyone wishes it was 2019 again, mainly because of the pandemic but still. It's purely nostalgia, not much truth to it.

[@thevegantitian]

Exactly 😂😂😂. 2008 was wayyy better than 2023 right now.

[@thevegantitian]

​@@Captain-Sum.Ting-WongExactly lol. 2019 was the last good year before the chaotic 2020s started.

[@VoidDweller86]

​@@thevegantitian The 2020s so far is just a complete BOREFEST!!!!!! of a Decade!!!!!! Period Dot Dash!!!!!! I am 36 years old by the way, Black American male.

[@rainyseasonhero730]

I saw this as a kid 15 years ago, and wished i was around for the 80s and 90s How ironic that I'm nostalgic for the 2000s now lol

[@user-friendly-boiiis]

I watched this video 15 years and to this very day you both had a massive impact in my life. I'm saddened to say that it seems everything has slowly vanished. Living in L.A I don't think my idea of a good time is Amoeba Music or any of those tourists traps. But I do remember growing up and being surrounded by allot of awesome stores. For me it was mostly big retail clothing stores. But I do recall witnessing the end of the arcades etc. Anyway I hope life is treating well and thank you for this video which I watched 15 years ago. May life continue to treat you kindly coolduder.

[@truthaholikz5653]

2008 was actually a good year but I also liked the 80's and early 90's. It's the mid-late 2010's and 2020 that actually suck.

[@NinjaxShadowXx]

I miss these Coolduder videos :( wish he would do stuff like this again instead of just movie pickups.

Oh absolutely 😌 the early 90's still felt like the 80's you bros nailed it! Modern times suck so damn much!

[@keyransolo]

I was born in 1990, but I really like EVERYTHING about the 80s, and I loved growing up in the 90s too, you guys are completely correct.

[@millionmanwales]

you're spot on lads. i was born in 1980 (in wales, UK) and totally hear what you're saying. Keep up the good work!

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

Im working on bringing the spirit of the 90s back

[@lowjamz828]

I miss the 80s and early 90s so much. Best times of my life were back then. And Music and TV were awesome. However things have gone down hill very badly since then. I totally love this video.

[@Loverboy19691]

You were right about the 80's, but the 90's really sucked in more ways than one !!

[@MylarBalloonLover]

@@Loverboy19691 80s sucks!

[@NintenPizza]

Things went down hill in 96...91 compared to 98 felt like living on a completely different planet. The music and fashion alone changed drastically. 87- 93 would be the sweet spot for me.

[@Jurassicprince]

I still think the 90s are 1000x better than today, but I'm starting to adjust to now. You just have to find things you love about the time you're in.

[@Armando.Sepulveda]

Absolutely!

[@NintenPizza]

I'd rather live in a late 80's/early 90's bubble when I'm at home instead of adapting and rolling with the times 100%. I'm far more happier listening to 80's synth pop/music videos, decorating my place up like it's 1989 all over again, rocking the fashion etc. Pop culture is dead. Everything gradually went down hill in 96. 85 - 95 is the sweet spot ;) I feel so sorry for the kids these days, we had it way better and it's the truth!

[@hanzo138]

I REALLY wish I lived around people like you guys!

[@rebeldetail6134]

I agree with u guys arcade were a hangout and we rode bikes everywhere and kids were always outside hanging out we had Atari but we played it at night when our parents made us come home like ur views guys keep ur dream alive

[@RockyMountainHighCO]

I miss the past; the 80s and 90s rocked! We just have to remember that although we might not like that times are changing or even like right now, one thing to really look forward to is making the world and earth a better place for each other! Take care of the earth, animals, and each other. Love thy neighbor. :D

[@sForever-ud5lj]

70s 80s 90s was just awesome

[@Powermetalman]

1997 was a great year

[@sexykitten0627]

I completely agree with the whole video. I miss the 80's early 90's. My husband and I would like an opportunity to hang with you guys, but we live far away in New Hampshire.

[@davidcolantuono3622]

For me, the last good year was in 1997. But, it wasn't until the year 2000 that I really began to hate just about everything. In fact, I had my first real anxiety attack about the future on the night of December 31, 1999. While I was at a New Year's Eve party with my family, everyone else was celebrating the coming of the new year, decade, century, and even millennium. In contrast, I felt "ill" and had to lie down on the couch that night. I didn't know it then, but what I believe is that I had a terrible premonition about the future. I was scared about what was coming, even though I had no idea just how much worse my life and most things would get back then. I was one of those kids back in the 1980s and 1990s who also thought everything would last forever, as you mentioned in this video. I was also one of those kids who couldn't wait to grow up and be an adult. I thought that my life would get better once I reached adulthood. I could not have been *MORE WRONG!!* It didn't happen right away, but things soon became worse. I'm 44 years old (as of March 3rd, 2023), and I keep wishing to go back to when I was still in the single digits. I can't decide exactly which year in the 1980s I want to go back to. I keep changing my mind, but the range of years I've mentioned in my wishlist is between 1985 and 1988. As for the things I miss about the 1980s...I can't even begin to list them. My list of things that I miss and keep wishing to go back to (if I could remember everything I miss) would stretch this comment to the size of Yankee Stadium if that tells you anything! I want to go back. I hate the modern world. Everything has gone from bad to worse. The only thing I like about today is what's left of my family...and there isn't much left of them. 😭

[@zebare726]

I would like to relive the 80s just for the social aspect that existed. Something that has slowly died out during the 2000s.

[@oldradiosnphonographs]

Anxiety SUCKS. I've been suffering on and off since 2001 since slightly before 9/11

[@tool2158]

I just read this comment 9 months later and I had the same feeling of illness at the start of the millennium. I relate to that so much. Somehow we knew that things wouldn’t ever be the same. And we were right. 2000 already felt quite different from 1999, but we had no idea how worse it would get. We have to make the best out of it, but sometimes I wonder why we let it all go down the drain.

[@ilove1994]

I agree man i was born in 93 the 90s & early 2000s were fricken awesome miss those days.

[@Africana3789]

I completely agree. 80's and 90's were GOLDEN compared to the craptasticness now.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

I loved the old rollercoasters. Today they are as safe as fuck. Back then they were built of timber and they 'were' actually dangerous...lol. You knew they were dangerous and when you was up there they swayed, creaked and moved around a lot. That was the fun that you could actually die..like climbing a tree 70 ft in the air.

[@alansixx]

These guys are my heroes........ I was born to fucking late the 2000 are not the age for metal heads

[@Gino419]

Man you guys are prophetic. You saw everything coming 2 shit. I was born in 1984, and I agree with you.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

Coolduder...I love you because you are like a guy from the 80s. You love the movies and all the great stuff that came with it. You remind me of the 80s so god dammed much. I only just realised this and I realise so this is why I watch all your videos.

[@girlvixen82]

I really agree with u guys, current shit suck!!!!! I was born in '82 and the mid 80's first heard U2 music very cool, and the early 90's very cool too. Don't let those fuckers get to u. Love the 70's 80's and 90's times are great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BarbieWearsPink]

You think just like me I full on lived the early 90's loved it!! There was this mcdonalds I always ate at which was 50's theme with a jukebox and it's still there..you guys remind me of songs like smashing pumpkins-1979 or foo fighters ever long

[@rharms_]

best youtube clip title ever. the 80s were an amazing time - i always feel sad when people put it down - they miss out on sooooooo much i wish they could see what i (or maybe others) see, it was very bright and colorful and fun time. i acutally feel sad i swear to god for them cause theres just no way they see current times like we 80s fans see 80s just look at how powerful 80s tv commercials are , they absolutely blow my mind still every time i watch them. so energetic and beautifully done

[@TechNoir87]

Yeah, well....technology isn't everything (and a bit overrated), theres more to life than that, I'm proud to be a 90's kid. you're a perfect example of my point - people focus too much on technology nowadays - what about TV, Music and fashion - to me those are the main elements of pop culture and it's lacking.

[@edisgaiz5123]

In Europe it's the same everything sucks the same.80s 90s was best era!.

[@MylarBalloonLover]

00s was much better

[@KratostheThird]

We all wish to hop on a time machine and go back to the simpler days of our lives when we thought entertainment was at it's peak, but science won't allow it. You could be one of those guys that watches material on obsolete equipment while everybody else has more modern devices, or we could admit to ourselves that there is nothing we can do about it, and move on. That is the hardest part of life, removing yourself from the good times is not easy. But that doesn't mean that life has to end abrupt.

[@DANTVSVERGIL]

It sucks not being born in like 1992 or so I was born in 1999 so I didn't get a lot lf the 90s

[@Loverboy19691]

[@brysonwilliams2489]

Can you do more videos like this again cool duder

[@MrJorgito89]

that's why I am here... I was born in 1970, so I was lucky to be a kid and teenager in those years, a lot of the things I miss right now, I took for granted back then... but change sneaks up on you slowly, by the time you realize, most of the good things are gone, never to be back again, some might remain if we are lucky. I'm actually from south Texas, so I grew up fully immersed in American culture... the shoping mall's over here were medium size, but like you said, they were different from each other, each on a had his own ...personality?. well, now if you have Ben to any american mall, pretty much you are not missing much from the other Mall's, because they all look alike... same stores, same colors, same logos, same restaurants, they look like a mass produced building, one of the malls in Brownsville Tx, had a Mexican theme in the whole Mall, adobe floors, adobe roof tiles, dark and light stained wood everywhere, solid wood beams, Arch's, etc... but they closed it in the late 90's, they expanded Sunride all,and most big stores left the mall for their own free standing stores with their own parking lot... I mean, like you said, where is the video Game Arcade? MusicLand, Sammy Good, Hastings video store, circuit city, toy's R Us, KB Toys, local owned stores, local owned food court etc???... when I started having kids, in '93-98, I kind of lost track of many things, and stopped going to the Mall that often, when I started going back to the mall to take my tween girl and friends to the mall, I felt like a fish out of water... wtf... everything was so different, so cold and so...so...cold... well, at leas we known what it was to have lived on the 70's, 80's, 90's and early 2000's...to me 9-11 changed everything, and I knew from than moment on the whole world was going to change for the worse... I hope I nevfashion, Alzheimer's disease or get amneasia, because I have so many good memories of growing up in those years...I will view your other videos, its my 1st time in your Chanel, and I subscribed already... see u in the tube...I do love/hate technology... but miss the no internet world...

[@Dayofthedead1976]

I totally loved the 80's. Remember the Hyper color t shirts? The ones that changed color based on your body temp. Bill and Ted were the kings of teen duo comedies. M.J., your shirt rules. I an a throwback, it's nice to know that there are people younger than me, who feel the same way. I hate so many things that are out now. Yes, even the shitty Hot Topics. Miss them good old days where the selection was out of this world.

[@booshaddict1990]

i 100 percent agree i was born 1990 but wish i was born so much earlier

[@CnoacdeTara]

i was a little child in the 80´s and i grew up along the 90´s, definetly the 80´s sucks..., music and fashion specially, cinema was great, the 90´s rocks specially in the middle o the decade, in music, fashion, cinema, etc, but all the decade was great in almost everyway...

[@bigdaddybrown2]

You guys have made like the best video I've looked at in for ever. I love the part about the music there is no style to it anymore. Yea I agree with you guys cell phones and the net are nice. But what ever happed to the people in the Mall's I remember a time when they were so packed on a friday and sat. night you could not walk..

[@crowdedenz87]

I agree the 80's and 90's were more raw and exciting. It is funny the only new albums i buy are by old bands that have reformed. The new crowded house album in which they have managed to keep their original style. Even the adds of today aren't as good as they were back then, at least in Australia any way. If you type in the "electric pandas" into the search. Click on the coke add and you will see. It was featured on the Oz VHS release of the ghostbusters. tell me what you think of it.

[@ToeTag9899]

Social Media and smart phones ruined everything.

[@SquishypuffDave]

Hey you guys are right about the "positive music" thing. I'm racking my brain trying to come up with some positive/happy modern music that also shows good musicianship... Out of all the newer bands I listen to, all I can come up with is Newton Faulkner. You might want to check his album out.

[@newagetelevisions]

i wish i coulda been born in the 80's!

[@Stinger198]

I agree with you and you are 9000% right!!! I dont know much about the past (Due to tha fact that i was born in the 90s not the 80s) but current times... SUCK! rap... emo.... whatever that new crap is... sucksssssss!!!!!

[@SuperRob77]

I totally agree with everything; including "ghostbusters is the best movie ever made". Plus, it seems like all malls are changing to outside malls...i miss the good ole days!

[@Anthonybchannel]

I would have said things started to go downhill in 2006. Not 1996.

[@rsaravia115]

Yes thank you are 100% correct I think the reason for that is because music began to suck, TV and cartoons began to suck, video rental stores slowly started to close down, public places were slowly starting to go out of style, Gen Z completely began, KZbin really started to blow up in popularity, Pixar began to suck, movies started to become hit or miss, sequels to movies after 2005 weren’t all that great, video games started to slowly go downhill with Nintendo consoles being gimmicks based, and the complete start of the frutiger aero era began. There were some changes happening during 2004 and 2005 but it wasn’t until the 4th quarter of 2006 when things completely changed with things progressively getting worse throughout the rest of the years.

[@RhidMorgan]

what i loved about the 90s was the feel like the video games-croc,rugratslol i was little the music was awesome to and shops omg i really miss the 90s

[@adman4t]

Hey some stuff from 96-2000 is still pretty cool, I was born in 89 so I don't really remember much of the early 90's but I do remember the late 90's early 2000's. Late 90's music was pretty sweet too. But yeah alot of things these days feel too materialistic and fake, I still have a faint vibe of the early 90's when stuff was still true to its roots.

[@TechNoir87]

Well I have two siblings who are 35 and 37, they had a blast in the 80's as kids/teens. and I happen to like 80's fashion and hairstyles, I'm not gonna diss it now just because it's not the mainstream anymore, it all seemed more fun, clothes and hair today are extremely dull.

[@KratostheThird]

I'm only going to say one thing to sum up my statement here: Nostalgia. Why? Because we had the best time of our lives as young kids, and as you grow older, you begin to lose touch with current popular interests until eventually, one complains and wishes for the good 'old' days. I am actually a kid of the early to mid 90s, but I can sense where both of you are coming from. Probably the best thing that has come out of this decade are DVDs, in which we can relive ourselves when stuff goes bad.

[@MylarBalloonLover]

2000-2006 were much better

[@evolutionsolutionco]

oh, and thank you again for your most recent dvd update. Hope to hear back soon. Ryan

[@67tr876]

And idk but people today just don't care as much anymore for old stuff :(

[@crowdedenz87]

I have had a read of the other comments. I live in Sunbury, Victoria australia and there are a few malls within a short driving distance. That when you enter them, you feel like you have been transported back to the 80's and 90's. There is actually an arcade franchise called time zone. They have a few arcades through out Australia.

[@peterfinnfilms]

This might sound juvenile, but there is a band that I thought usually sounded very positive (but I wasn't born until 1992, so I can't be entirely sure if it's what you mean). The only problem with them is that their music was frequently played on Radio Disney. They're called Jump5, and they disbanded a couple of years ago. But if you want something like that, but slightly less childish, two Jump5 members formed a new band called Guest. Check them out, they're really good.

[@evolutionsolutionco]

Hi Guys, No negative comments here. Shawn & MJ are a nice wake up call for those living in the Matrix. I always feel a bit nystolgic when I watch 80's films. Particularily when watching The Lost Boys. I miss Comic shops & arcades so badly now! And if there is an arcade good luck finding any great classics IE Donkey Kong,Q Bert, Mario Bros. and or pinball games etc.Music is too depressing now..80's music and film has always lifted my spirits & now so have you guys! Thanks for that! Ryan

[@WVMothman]

In the mid to late 1970's were very easy going, the early 80's were sort of the same, after 1984 everything changed.

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

It was glorious up until 1989. The new decade brought in huge changes as it would. The 90s sucked because all the pop music was singing about 'pain' bla, bla, bla!!

[@Mythosician06]

You know why things have gone to shit in the last decade? Advertising. It's evolved rather too quickly for its own good, and some things to come out of that: 1) Specialized malls: Get in, get out. 2) Loud Cartoons with tons of Product-Placement: The Simpsons is one such show that suffers from being too loud nowadays, and every episode has a real-world product being advertised in a subtle way. 3) The Gossip Boom: After that Spears bitch burst onto the pop scene, the mags and shows went apeshit.

They should bring back Blockbuster video stores other video stores too so Blockbuster isn't a monopoly. Bring back arcades. Put the Machines at 25 cents. Or even better make the arcade and charge people like $10 to play unlimited and you would have workers making sure if there are a lot of people that they don't hog the machines the whole time.

[@rharms_]

i agree with you that the 80s were FAR SUPERIOR to current times in any category , shape or form BUT how come in the dvd updates there's mostly this alleged crappy current movies ? we need more 80s !!!!

[@TechNoir87]

and I don't get why people like you get upset just because certain people prefer other eras more, I've had WAY too many bad experiences to actually like this decade, the 2000's are okay....I just identify and relate more with the 80's and 90's.

[@rebeldetail6134]

I agreei graduated 1988 man 85 to 90 for me was the best time I am a guitar player and we had alot of fun playing loud and proud and people got along for the most part today's kids are just super mean and hateful I have a 15 year old now I was glad to be a 80s kid we did have our problems tho but nothing like kids today social media I think has ruined social good times

Hollywood is a woke mess 5.MTV,G4,Nickelodeon,CN is dead. 6.Music industry is very safe 7.My towns malls only sell clothes. 8.

Beyond specifics, or rather behind them, is a cyclical generational pattern that has been on repeat since WW2. It's an underlying motive; a constant battle between a popular appreciation for creation and independence, pitted against consumption and conformity. Teenagers nowadays are the children of the children of the children who partied it up on the spoils of WW2, without being the generation that earned/appreciated it.

[@0c7ober7]

In 2008 I was in elementary school but I remember the 2000s vividly but I honestly like the late 80s early 90s for whatever reason maybe its who I grew up with as in immediate family or movies of the early 90s mid 90s that Netflix has resurfaced or just growing up on VHS movies and box TVs of the early 2000s but I like in the 2020s you can reflect on all the era's and pic back the good due to technology but the bad is today's times are bland but you can live within you're bubble like me I hardly use social media and my wardrobe is 2000s down along with a lot of things I'm into just naturally way before older things became cool lol but anyways maybe the 2020s will be nostalgia to these kids being born 2010 up.

@shanejensen problem is u2 had this uninspiring boring sound of the 00s even in the 80s which is a rare case back then- SO they always sounded like current music - they never sounded that 80s since they are alternatve music and typical 80s music is mainstream pop

My memories are of the 90's and early 2000's. I don't remember the 80's

I think the title should say "21st century sucks, 20th century rocks!" :)

You should check out a band called The Sword if you are into hard rock. They have a classic sound. A lot of the best-selling albums from the past couple of years have been comeback albums from bands from the 80s and 90s, like AC/DC, U2, Metallica etc.

I liked the whole 90's, the world turned to shit for me in 04
