Just amazing! Although I was more the alternative tribe (jeans and cotton t-shirts) and didn´t like much that fashion which become associated with the 80's and 90's, I have bitter-sweet memories of those days of my youth, it´s a phase we all have some dear memories of, not matter how hard it was. Thank you for uploading this fantastic video here, much love from Brazilian LGBTQs.
