I’ve been listening to 80s way before this because of my parents

[@paolavega2400]

My child and I watched ST together. I was so happy I could show her the clothes I used to wear, the music we listened to... the supermarkets.. and face to face friendship. This series is one of the best things that ever happened to us❤ and this music is just sublime👏👏👏 thanks!!!

[@Edfons]

I was born in 78, so i was a child during the 80s, i remember this beats very clearly, i remember Saturday morning cartoons, the Thundercats, He man, She Ra, the Ghostbusters, the playing swapping cards and nick nacks from Pick and Save, the magic of morning breakfast, the made up lair shacks that we would build for hideouts, video stores, tower records, red, yellow, orange and brown, wooden panels, split level homes, KB toys, toys with quality that could actually be yours to touch and to personalize and that would be presented not just on a gaming console or a tablet! So many kids today don't and will not have the privilege to experience this things. We live in a totally different era today, the analog was pushed away to make room for the digital! Much has changed for worst and some for better! Do i miss the 80s? of course, I even miss the 90s for god sakes but i can always look back and smile! Is in my memory!

[@SlidTossedPissed]

I was born in 77... and you nailed every word, sentence down FLAT. KB Toys.. man, I grew up in that place. I loved it. Lionel Kiddy City.. was the best damn toy store... till ya had Toys R Us. I dont mean this PC bs of organization, I mean aisle after aisle floor to ceiling... of Toys. I used to go sledding in the winter on a sled that you could steer. Id go out sledding for a bit, then come back in and watch Knight Rider, FAME, Pink Panther... HECK... there is ONE thing I wish I had, a camera, cause no one believes me. (But it was INSANE to ask for a CAMERA and hand it to a child.)

Class of '89 here, and just like most others here, I'm rather nostalgic for this time in my life. Reason? I knew without a shadow of a doubt that it would be the BEST time of my life. Sure, life is good for me now. But then? From the time I was 9 in 1980 until graduating in 89, I got to experiences the entire decade from start to finish. From Video Killed the Radio Star by the Bugles to Love Shack by the B-52s, it was an awesome time. Yep, I was a D&D geek just like in Stranger Things too. Still am at 51.

[@jamesyboy4330]

Welcome to the future old man 🎉 Nah but for real, I wish I could have experienced what my parents and so many others did. The 70s-late 90s were some interesting times to be alive, and when the internet wasn’t quite a thing yet, people had other means of entertainment. I’m sure it must have been a blast man 🙏

This reminds me of the 80s. But obviously, this is not the 80s, not the movie tried to be that way. If you want the 80s you have to listen to 80s music, because its production was also different. The 80s, musically speaking had a variety of generes where synth became an important instument. I´d say that this is an evolution of what was left behind in the 80s decade. Our mixing tools are also different. But it´s very good to listen to and i´m happy to see there´s still new music based on 80s synthwave being created. Congratulations to the composer.

The birth, or rebirth if u count disco, of electronic dance music. A glorious meeting of equipment improvement, the desire to party longer, and of course chemicals, which inspired the new movement.
