Nelson left us such a gift. The ability to live in a time we never could among people we’d never know. It must’ve been hard for him being the only person in many of these rooms who understood the importance of what he was doing. It was after all a time where, unlike today, a person carrying a camera everywhere they went was an incredibly odd concept.

I wonder what the price of these kind of places are in comparison to today. That building is probably so expensive. Millions to buy, and like $8,000 monthly just for building maintenance fees. I love how people talk and joke around in these videos. I wish it was like that today. I don't think a lot of people know how to joke around and have fun. I really am starving for the way things were then. What I was going to say is that it really is amazing the lives that lived yesteryear that we do not know anything about. Nelson's and his friend's lives would have been the same if it weren't for his video taping.

There's designers and chain clothing stores that still do that to this day - trying to turn punk into high fashion. It was goofy then and is goofy now, yet also super interesting to see as far back as 1989! I love these videos for this kinda stuff!

I know who they are though and it's really cool seeing them as younger folks getting started in their careers and things. Sadly, lots of Nelson's friends have also passed away and that is unfortunately just a part of life. Nelson, John Sex, Brant Mewborn, and Carlos all passed away within a year or so of this video, for example. Too young. RIP to all and God Bless to everyone.

It meant that whereever you ended up, whoever you were with, became interesting and mattered to you. So parties like this or nights like this felt adventurous because you had no idea who you might meet or where you might end up. Life could be lived in the moment. Nobody had phones so nobody was stressing that they might be at the wrong party or the best party. They were just try to fit in as many as they could in a night. Going to a party where you knew few people was an adventure. Nobody took photos, this guy was exceptional. We took a few photos occasionally but only when it was a special occasion. That meant you did not worry about how you would look online, because online did not exist. Real life was just that. It was beautiful and it is still available to you. Just keep your phone in your pocket. Just leave it home. Just go away for a night and leave it at home. It will open your eyes.

Man I miss the 80's and definitely the 90's. What a time to be young and in the underground music scene. No phones, no gps to find where we were going. Just genuine actual real connection's. I honestly feel bad for the young ones now having to grow up with a screen glued to their faces at all times , like that's just normal or something. The oldskool underground days can never be duplicated , and it was thee absolute BEST time of my life (I'm from the Florida bass /breakbeats scene, VERY different than new York and Chicago's vibe) and just like these kids , it all started out with the Best of intentions and an insane amount of sheer , raw, unadulterated beauty, talent, art forms, real true acceptance , a time and a way that can never be done again, but can easily take you to a bad place if not very very careful. We had our dark side shit happen after many years too unfortunately. No regrets 💖 SO very very blessed to have been a part of such beauty for so long, and even after 26 years the music and dance is STILL my favorite thing in the world, so glad we all still get together every month or so and throw down 🔊😎💜

They'll look back on their golden years the same way you and I do :)

Nelson was a baby boomer, but he was also 41 years old at this time in 1989. Many others he hung around were in their early 20's to early 30's so they were not all boomers. He also hungout with boomers too because he had other friends older than he was. He didn't seem to care how old they were as long as they were interesting, friendly, cool, artistic, unique, and talented.
