I hear ya. I was born in 68 and NYC was my home thru the 70's, 80s and 90s. But my parents longed for the 50s and 60s and my grandparents the 30s and 40s. So who knows. I will say that NYC was cool during this time though. But we still had many of the same problems and bs then as we have today.

80’s and 90’s were the peak of times. I remember back then any get together with family and/or friends would last all day and night. When I was a kid, a day felt like an eternity. Now- every holiday, birthday party, get together/party is over in a few short hours- if that. Everyone too busy staring at their phone and has somewhere else to be. Things will never go back. I feel sorry for the people that will never experience growing up like that

You are definitely not NYC-friendly and would probably be more at ease with those who choose to live far away from the 5 boroughs, segregating themselves from the mix of cultures and preferring to live with the bears in the woods. People with that mentality are the ones that make this city an angry, hostile, miserable place to live. New York City is accepting of ALL people regardless of race, culture, wealth, sexual orientation, etc. I am extremely proud to be a Native New Yorker!

Where did it all go? This was my city, my home, my heart. All of these places were the backdrop to my life in 1987. That year I lived in a fifth floor walk up on the corner of Perry and West Fourth - my studio looked out over the rooftops of the West Village. We all steered ourselves across town by the sight of the twin towers - a sort of compass point that never was out of sight. I was a freelance illustrator, mostly children’s books - but how I loved getting uptown to drop off my sketches at Children’s TV Workshop, or walking over to the Henson Studios… The cabs, the old Times Square, rattling buses and the smell of the subway on a steamy summer night - thank you for reminding me. Everything is changed now - including me. My NYC no longer exists.

We were from Nashville, Tn. living there while my dad was an electrician working on construction of The New York World's Fair. He and I went there. Not sure why he didn't take the whole family, except my youngest brother was just a baby, so that probably had a lot to do with it. I'm 70 now, and I have a hard time remembering what I had for breakfast this morning, but I STILL have so many vivid memories, that all come back, crystal clear, when I see film like this.

xXxMartin96xXx read about glyphosate which is an herbicide sprayed on our food - it is toxic to humans even at low doses. There are a lot of chemicals now, more so than in the 70s and 80s I believe. These are not just “buzzwords”. If you check the news recently a man won a case against Monsanto. If something has the potential to cause cancer then there’s a good chance there’s a lot more inflammation in the body as well... There are other ways to protect our foods btw. I like Paul Stamets research on this front but there’s a monopoly on these kind of things in the business world. Huge corporations want to keep things the way they are. More money for them. Also people used to prepare meals, take their time to make food, slow cooked meals, more balanced meals with real ingredients. Once processed foods and fast food was introduced into our lives things became more convenient but definitely not healthy. There’s way too much sugar, fried food, empty carbs in the standard American diet now. I remember when fast food chains like McDonald’s were introduced to other countries, like China and Brazil, who thrived on their own traditional diets and cooking methods, the rates of obesity in young people started to slowly climb. It wasn’t like that before. Poor diets, lack of exercise and too much sitting in front of TVs, videogames and computers ... we live in a different world now.

As online payment services ramped up and we started using more connectivity I started using 1995 or 95 buried in user ID and email addresses. That year doesn’t represent anything in particular for me but it does represent the year things really started moving to the internet and PCs became accessible to everyone with Windows OS. 20 years later you have everything connected in your pocket. We’re too connected and our brains can’t handle this much stimulus. Anyway point being I guess I agree and I’m pretty sure I used 1995 because it was the point where we shifted.

I lived and worked in Seattle in the mid-'80s and I recall my excitement when first going to New York. The experience was totally different from expectations. On public transport, especially the underground, people had their heads down and stared at their knees as if scared to look up. I stayed in a hotel and in the evening wanted to walk to the next block to get a newspaper. The doorman insisted I take a taxi - instead of walking 50 metres. "It is too dangerous to walk," he said. Later I was in a vehicle when two drivers jostled each other. At traffic lights, one driver left his vehicle, shot the other driver and returned to his car as if all was normal. I had to make several more trips to New York. My best experience in the USA was taking the Greyhound bus over the Rockies to Canada. You could see the whales spouting out at sea. I promised myself never to return to that ugly, crowded, dangerous place. Now I am happily retired in Thailand after voluntary work in Africa.

In 1987 I was 23 and living in Brooklyn , one word for it back then . Fast paced , well okay that's two words . It is definitely not for the faint of heart . Lots to see and do ,especially at a young age . I think it really is a young person's city . I did my running up and down in NYC , worked for NYCT for a little over 30 years and finally retired in 2019 . Now at 58 and living in the Lehigh Valley I seek out a more relaxed pace . I will always love New York , I experienced much there , some good ,some bad , but overall a valuable learning experience .

I was 30 then and it was a great time to be in NY. Fast paced yes, fun, yes. Now I am in a slower paced environment also and really enjoy that. I agree it’s a great city for the young and also for the rich who have people do a lot of stuff for them.

I visited New York around this time as well. I was amazed. It’s definitely the city that never sleeps. I remember seeing the Twin Towers, looked up and my neck just went back as far as it could. I remember the language, and the “city”, and the “village”. I saw a robbery in real time in Brooklyn and it blew me away. They chased the guy and held him down until the cops came, yelling, “we take care of our own here on Chauncey!” I will never forget that. My spirit, as with others, was crushed on 9/11, but that was the day I was introduced to Holy Spirit, and got closer to God. So something great came out of it. I have not been back since, and not sure if I ever will. So much has changed. Godspeed to NYC

Fantastic documentary! Thanks for uploading. I recall visiting the Pennsylvania Hotel in 2015. At that time, my sister and I were students and had no money to sleep in another hotel. The Pennsylvania was the cheapest option, so we went for it, not knowing that it was such a legendary hotel. It’s so sad they decided to get rid of it. I’m grateful we got to visit it before it was closed down for good.

Hence, the NY skyline is hardwired into our consciousness for ever.

His name was Craig Palmer, and he composed all kinds of music, but was well known for this kind of jazzy, industrial music featured on news broadcasts, documentaries, etc....We know all of our favorite bands from the late 70s and 80s, but talented guys like Craig were tucked away in California recording studios, behind the scenes, making music that we could never put a face to, but that everyone was hearing on their commemorative Super Bowl films. I am a hobby musician and amateur music historian. I enjoy collecting old music gear from the time period this video was made in.

Around the year 2009 up to around the years 2013 or 2014 maybe there seems to be a lot of comments both in the forums of Wikipedia and on KZfaq that used to bash the 2000s a lot with a lot of people calling it "the worst decade ever" even though you can call every decade the best or worst decade ever since it's after all it's subjective. But around the mid 2010s something changed. The people that grew up in the 2000s well grew up and there seems to be a lot of nostalgia from those groups of people that grew up in that decade. And over time people seem to bash it much less than usual. This is called rosy retrospection or nostalgia bias by the way. Don't get me wrong though there are people who still don't like the 2000s which for them is fine. But it goes to show that over time the past decade can be grown on people. I expect the same to happen with the 2010s. The people who grew up in the 2010s (like me) will be grown up adults and will have a heavy amount of nostalgia for that decade due to the fact that they must've had a fun time in the decade and swiping off the bad things of it. This is another one of the elements of rosy retrospection/nostalgia bias. There will still be people who will still hate the 2010s which is fine. But more people will be accepting the 2010s for what it was. And this is not just catered to the 2000s nor the 2010s either. The 1990s, 1980s, 1970s, 1960s, 1950s, and so on must've had the same elements of this cycle as well with people not accepting the past decade for what it was until around halfway through that current decade.

Now what about the 2020s however? Well this cycle will also affect the 2020s and future decade as well. Now before you say "but the 2020s suck and 2020 and 2021 sucks for having covid and we're living in bad times aren't we" well let me tell you this. Rosy retrospection is a double edged sword. It can allow you to look past all of the negatives of past decades and accept it as simpler times. But it can also allow you to be very naitive about the really bad stuff that happened which if they happened you would just say "well that was only a small problem the times were simpler no matter what" and would just make your perspective on things of the present kinda change. It can make even the smallest of problems to cause you to hate the present day for it. And for the past when such problems in the present were way worse back then would only just make you thing "eh it could've been worse". So with this in mind you yourself will be just swapping all of the negatives of the pandemic under the rug and just looking at all of the positives instead in around 5 to 10 years time. This is what rosy retrospective does. As does the old saying goes "We don’t realize we are in the best of times till it’s over". And I mean if people can look back at the freaking 1930s and 1940s as great times even though it had the worst economic depression of the last century and the worst war in human history then I mean people will foundly look back at the covid-19 pandemic positively and still be native about it which is fine since it's all apart of our nature and our biology and that's the entire point of rosy retrospection/nostalgia bias right? Also before I go there is another term for this call the golden age fallacy because there are a lot of terms for this phenomenon in this one subject.

As a Brooklynite myself, one word to describe NYC during the eighties would be WILD! I'll never forget the club scenes, block parties, random crimes, hip-hop, and the authentic nitty-gritty culture! Most of the gentrification and phony outsiders have changed and ruined the authenticity of the Big Apple in my opinion.

This was a better era, even despite what seemed like half the city looking like a war zone. No smartphones, people weren't confused about their gender... Yes there were economic issues, AIDS, crack, etc. but there was great success too, and people were just nicer, more cooperative and less polarized due to having common values, common culture, etc.

@@shakespearishot71 Of course. That's existed in some form since the dawn of time -- but only for an extremely minuscule amount of people throughout history. It's never been this massive, celebrated, militantly "normalized" phenomenon until very recently*. There's a reason that demographic has hovered around 0.1% to 0.3% of people for 100+ years (basically since we started tracking it at all, and estimated to have been about the same throughout all history), but has suddenly skyrocketed in the last several years. In some areas the rates of minors identifying as another gender and/or presenting with dysphoria has increased by as much as 500%, and in several Western countries the overall population has gone from 0.14% average to over 3% in the last decade. It's become a social contagion that's being overtly promoted as not just trendy and cool, but some kind of brave achievement by virtually every institution of influence across the West: Hollywood to music to newsmedia to schools to governments to corporations; you name it. Funny too how those demographic numbers dropped off a cliff during the Covid lockdowns, when kids weren't in class being indoctrinated via their curriculum or seeing how LGBT kids were praised and fussed over -- and since school's been back in, rates have gone back up. Correlation isn't causation, but what's happening here couldn't be much more obvious. *Weimar Germany came close though, as did the Roman Empire during its final days. Any honest student of history will tell you this kind of overt promotion and celebration of LGBT is a consistent feature of societies in serious decline.

@@J.DeLaPoer i don't think kids were indoctrinated i think they have the rare access to tools that help them understand why they feel the way they did. it isnt completely crazy for kids to be figuring out what they like or how they want to identify when they hit adolescence. during covid people had time to think about a lot of things. also people haven't been doing heavy research and assigning words to our emotions or identities until recently.

This video made me so... happy. Nostalgia for something I never touched or experienced back then, but always felt - courtesy of film, TV, music, news media, pop culture. Even when I go to NYC now as an adult, I see it through this romanticised lens. I think I love NYC for the idea of it, more than what it is. And boy oh boy... I'm so grateful that I can remember life before cellphones.

The 80s was really really enjoyable. Probably the best decade of my life time. Those were the happening years! I'm really happy to have lived through that decade. Women were very fashionable and elegant. They were super sexy at the beaches Kids were breakdancing at every street corner and they were really good. The way people dressed and moved their bodies Movies were spectacular, TV series, cartoons, wrestling, action movies, martial art movies, fantasy, sci fi and mafia movies were all enjoyable to watch. All kinds of good music.....too many to mention. The most important thing about the 80s was the feel. There was a very mysterious strange feel in the air during that decade. There was a bit of that blade runner/ fantasy feel in the air. Something rather futuristic about that decade. Something magical. it was a great feeling. A decade of perfection!

This new generation of women (gen Z) seem to dress sloppy & they don't seem to stay in shape as much. Not all are like this but some have unfortunately latched onto the unhealthy "body positive" movement that glorifies obesity. The 80s were all about working out & staying fit like Jane Fonda from what I remember.
