Yes very well put and i agree with you!!

@@buckeyevinnie8456 technology has damaged society tremendously and it has also destroyed culture and so many values that people learned and enjoyed to the fullest back in the 1980’s.

Yes! 1000% human contact!!

We need to get back to that miss the 80s the best

Parking, skinny dipping. I don't think any of them today even know what that is without Google

Some of us are starting our 60s

@@justakitty6372 i was a young kid in the 80s , i am now 45

That makes me sad

Yes, some of this kids are grandparents as well. I will be turning 56 this year and was in CLASS of 1983. Loved this decade.

I was born in 78....so I was just a kid in the 1980s but I loved it.... as a kid in elementary school the first time I had to date one of my assignments with the year "1990"....I paused and just stared at it for a few moments....I knew then there that the end of a special time was over and gone forever and I felt sad because I knew the world would never be the same again....I thought the 80s would last forever and it was that moment I realized it wouldn't last forever and that it was infact gone for good.

I genuinely hate my generation, class of 2026 here. it looks like you all enjoyed life to the fullest.

class of '80 too.

@@Sue-gq7xv Sue... it's great to read that another in the class of 1980 is still enjoying life!

Me too! Graduated in June 90.

I wish I grew up in this time

Best decades were 80s & 90s

The 80s were trash full of crack and gangs. What a horrible time. Now the 50s and early 60s was a truly great America.

I started high school in 86 as well, that was the year of the shuttle disaster, the world wept over the loss of 7 people that day, today 7 people dying is barely a news story

Is there a difference between 80s teenagers and 90s teenagers since teens in the 90s are the younger half of generation X

​@@claytonphillips85As far as the pop culture goes a little bit. The internet started in 1994 so that's when things started going into the direction they are now.

1985-89 for me! Now that I am in my 50's I realize just how special this time period was!

@tc720, FUN, FUN, FUN, till social media and other vices took it away.....😢

No cell phones!! 🎉

Hell yeah! 1000% human contact!!

This didn't look like my high school...where's the diversity?

There mustaches and earrings in the 80s.

And no instagram and facebook, no porn addiction. ..no internet. People were more real.

weird

Thats so fuckin funny

I get it,every video like this is some old blurry video look,so you can only image it in real life

The same thing with even older vids in black and white

I so agree, I have always said you can tell when I am really mad because I start swearing.

I suppose it depended on what part of the country you went to high school or the crowd you hung out with as far as cursing goes. I was in high school from 1982 to1986 and I heard it all the time. Well, even in elementary school...

Nobody was confused at what a woman was.😂

Class of ‘23 here. People still exchange greetings and talk with others. Just because we have phones doesn’t mean we don’t socialize. If anything, it was easier to plan after school activities, I could call my ma and ask her if I could go to the fair while still with my friends during lunch.

The ironic thing was that there were students in the 1980s complaining that it wasn't like their parents' time... the 1950s/early '60s with stuff such as sock hops. Just enjoy what you make of the moment, look back and treasure what's fondly, and then inspire everything to make a new goal. Each era has its pros and cons, and you just have to live with the good and the bad.

​​@@pannoni8449are you fkn kidding? My father was worried to death about being drafted into Nam. Then you had Korea in the 50s. In the 80s you didn't worry about being draftedThey just tried scaring everyone with ww3 movies.

Well everyone wants to believe that the 80's was THE perfect decade, but we'd be lying if we said like any other time in school, you had your assholes and bullies back then too. You had crime, politics, sex and drugs, marriage, taxes and death, but to try and pinpoint what it is exactly that people really clammer for from the 80's. I think, it was the intention, the goal as it were, to create real happiness in life and to always look forward and be excited about what's next, what "new thing" was gonna make life better. I hate to say this cause I don't wanna believe it, but I think we've reached the pinnacle of whatever the hell can make for a better society. In fact I think we're beginning to wilt and quickly, simply because we hit the ceiling, with technology, health care, food and drink, hair and beauty, television, music and film, media as a whole. (At least in most of the world). And we've become so bored and complacent, we find fulfillment from the most ridiculous and mundane things, like video games, porn, and reaction videos. T.V and advertising has gone out the window, now that everyone watches everything online, even Cinema is nowhere near what it was twenty years ago. Without realizing it, technology is one thing we've allowed to take over a huge chunk our lives, and it's not good. I sometimes envy people who say they don't use facebook, like my god, I wish I could detox from it all. But, I also Think with the decline will be opportunity to come back around, forgive the manic depressive rant lol I probably sound like one, but yeah everything gets a return.

@rjc7289, mine spanned from fall of 1883-1988.

Oh my gosh graduated in '87 from Ohio same here now anything goes!! I loved the 80's best of times for me!!

Ha ha, same here 78-82. Now cruising the rest of the way in life!

My brother

How was the high school in 1984

Yea, I was 85. Had a dream last night that it was 1981 again. So I watched this video.....Yea, great times, so glad I'm not young today

@@deanjordan2975 it was great.

You said in the 70s Video you started HS in 1979. If you did, you should have graduated HS in 1983. Were you on a 5 year Plan? 🤔 🤣 Just as I called it. An 80s kid. You didn't go to HS in the 70s at all unless you flunked a grade. Which wouldn't surprise me.

@@kbrewski1 I started in 79. I had a car accident and couldn’t graduate until 1984. I believe in one of these I stated I went to two proms. Are you a dick in real life or just play one on the internet? If you are not happy with the way your life turned out don’t project your anger on others. Have a nice day.

High school for me was from 1982 to 1986.

@@jamosh1967 So like 5 years??

1984-1988

Class of 82 also. Kinnelon HS. Kinnelon, NJ.

I could hardly wait for 80 when we got our DL and a 72 Chevelle

@@daveb227 My first car, I got was a 1971 Chevy Impala. I got it in my junior year in High School. (In April of 1981. I still remember those days.

1982 Graduate. Best times ever. Fast Times at Ridgemont High is like a documentary. It's so accurate.

You graduated the year i was born.

glass tiger

Class of 1986 here too.

‘85 ❤️

‘86 here too. Do you remember hearing about the Challenger over your school’s PA system? So Sad. It seems like yesterday, but it’s been so long ago.

​@@Unknown-rz1sj im class of 2023, and i completely agree with you! i wish i was born in the 60s :( life nowadays as a teenager sucks.

87 from Ohio it was some awesome times for me great memories!!

I graduated high school in 1986 too.

Yes they were i am also a 80's era when i grew up everything was awesome way better than this joke of a culture today!!

Sounds amazing! I wish I lived that too…

same here but 87 - 91. it was rock and roll high school back then

Class of 86 here too.

The last to get a decent education in the public school system? ...God you sound old and cranky

Class of 86 too

Class of 1985, without the benefit of receiving a decent education in the public school system, "borrowed" my research paper, and had a much more firm grap of Ebonics than the Kang's Anglish.

14 year olds maybe, but I definitely didn’t look 12 at 16. Either way, it’s better to look younger than you actually are. Because at 40 you’ll look no older than 32

Yes, but at least it was an actual style other than a political statement like it is today

Thank you. High School was not heaven for everyone. A lot people thrived after high school.

Yes we did!

What u doin here Bulldog? We'll see yall Nov 5 punks...haha

@@GetSoberWithMe We will beat you guys again this year, just watch.

MTV wasn't widely available until about 1985.

I don’t know how a small town in Indiana had MTV in 81, but there were times during open lunch, we’d eat fast, ride bikes to somebody’s house that had it. Watch for like 20-25 minutes and race back to school in time for afternoon classes.

My dad was also the class of 89!!

class of 91. i bet you were and still a hottie. date younger men? lol

Ikr

its is

Hello 👋🏿how are you doing?

Class of 91🎉👍

Hello 👋🏿 how are you doing?

In most ways it was better. But today is 1000x better if you need someone to talk to (danger is the rabbit hole of self wallowing so that IS worse). But 100% better is if you wanted a hobby but couldnt afford it you can at least absorb all the info you can on the net. Too bad young people don't understand how GREAT that is. Instead they wallow, pretend they're 100 different genders, FOMO on socials, complain... some shoot their peers. Hobbies would solve most teen depression today. God if only I had the net to indulge my hobby interests at 15.

It was!

I'd sure like to see that footage, I went to seneca in 89'

The word "teenager" was officially coined in the early 1940s. That word appeared on the cover of some magazine.

Its the video, they looked just as young as today. No different...but they were almost never obese or overweight.

Hello 👋🏿how are you doing?

Tbh, they could all pass as 21 year olds
