Does Gen Z Know 80s Celebrities?! (Michael Jackson, Molly Ringwald, Prince) | Try Not To Fail

[@cliffordbunton8788]

As an 80s baby I am so proud of all of these reactors for knowing so much about my decade. I love React, People Vs Food and all those involved with the channel...

[@florenciohernandezjr.2556]

I’ve never been more blown away by a comment than I was for “Oh, so Friends was the 70’s?” 😂 💀

[@Shanruss]

Lol

[@GaryTongue-to3pw]

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. 1994-2004

[@MarusyaSuper]

Chornobyl is the city in Ukraine (in 80s - Ukrainian SSR), Nuclear power plant got its name after it. Prypiat was the closest city to the NPP, and was only built in 1975 (specifically for NPP workers), and was completely abandoned in 1986 after the Chornobyl disaster. Both cities were fully evacuated, but some institutions still operate in Chornobyl (like hotels for tourists, and workers who look after the district), but no full-time residents are living there. I wrote this piece because I saw different versions in comments, I visited both cities in 2018 so decided to share.

Is Friends 70s……look I know I’m like 15 years older then these kids but for him not to understand the visual and cultural differences between the 70s and 90s is insane

I was born in the 70s, and I grew up knowing the name of actors, actresses, events, and entertainers 50 years or more before my time. Sometimes I think the more information is at our fingertips, the less we care to learn it.

[@christinezara3491]

You speak the truth as another denizen of the 70s.

[@jp3813]

I think it's more that visibility of people outside your circle was very limited in the past. For example, Jackie Chan was largely unknown in the west during his heyday in the 80s. Nowadays, even Korean boy bands are getting marketed in western countries.

I was impressed with Jaxon's British voice. Who knew he could go that deep

[@PaulLoh]

One day, my aunt brought me to a record store in Korea. She said I could get whatever I wanted. I had never owned my own music before because all I had to listen to was my parent's music. But on the Armed Forces Korea Network (AFKN the American broadcasts for both television and radio), I had heard Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. So I bought Thriller and She's So Unusual on cassette. I listened to them on my Walkman constantly. As a matter of fact, I still have my Thriller cassette. The video for Thriller, and the Making Of Thriller documentary are what got me into horror movies, zombie films, and film making. I am now a horror film maker and author.

[@ebbhead20]

Omg, you made Sweet Home! Sorry, just kidding. It would be fun though. 😂

These kids are so much fun to watch. They all know quite a bit about a decade that was well before their time. I was born in the 80s, so that would be like quizzing me on trivia from the 50s and 60s, and I'd probably do just as well as they did. Seriously, just good kids.

[@jenniferpajor5365]

Of course I knew all of these because I was born in the 80s. In fact, The Little Mermaid is the first movie that I remember seeing in the theater (apparently my parents took me to see Snow White when I was 3 but I don’t remember that). I was a first-grader anxiously waiting school to let out because my godmother was planning to pick me up and take me to see it after school.

[@ebbhead20]

Little Mermaid. Frozen. 2 danish fairy tales from HC Andersen. I think Disney did Ugly Duckling back in the day. So that's at least 3 from HC Disney have used so far. But there might be more. Not sussed on Disney stuff. 😎

[@1936case]

So none of them got the question about the nuclear accident correct. They were asked for the city it happened in. Chernobyl was the name of the power station where the accident happened at not the city. The name of the city the power station was located near was actually Pripyat.

[@ry.the.stunner]

Well, the question was what city was the location, not what city was NEAR the location. Chernobyl is not within the city of Pripyat, it's NEAR it, so that wouldn't have technically been correct either if we're being super picky about it.
