It’s about growing up in the 80s rather than things that began in the 80s so naturally there will be a carry over from the 70s Felix. Much like everyone from the 2000s had CDs as a big part of their life but they came out in the 80s. I grew up in the 80s too.

​@@aldy74ComedyJames Where to start to pick apart nearly the entire video as not representative of the 80's... There are many, many, many things that are classic and uniquely 80's and most of the stuff in the video is not it. The video is out of time by a decade, even trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, I rewatched. I realize the video must be British centric, but I have to assume a lot of what was 80's in the US was also 80's in Britain. They could not have been an entire decade behind the US, a year or two behind maybe but not a decade. It didn't even hit simple beepers whose heydays was in the 80's or Walkman radios and Walkman CD players that were signature to the 80's. The home computers tech is alien. Where are the Atari 400, 800, & 1200, where are the Commodore 64 & 128, where are the early IBM PC & PC Jr, or the 80's TI computers... The gas pumps are 20-30 years out of date for the 80's, and the convenience stores inside the gas station where you paid was popping up everywhere. I don't know what country that 3 wheel vehicle is from but I never saw one of those in the 80's anywhere in the states or traveling abroad with my parents in the 80's. A 3 wheel vehicle in the 80's would have stuck out and been noticed by everyone. The TV models are very pre 80's, ancient and replaced by the 80's unless it belonged to an older person still holding on to a decade old TV. TV's in the late 70's and early 80's would have had a VHF knob that had around 11 or so numbers (I believe Channels 2 - 13) and some funky U symbol to switch to the UHF knob that had even more and higher numbers than what I can recall. & which were very outdated tech even before the 80's ended and replaced with push buttons for channels up/down, on/off, volume up/down, etc.... with the early TV remote controls. CD's were an 80's development, ancient, common technology by the 2000's. I have a whole set of 80's music CDs and very rarely bought another CD after the 80's. Cassette tapes could probably be identified as both a 70's symbol as well as an 80's. Although, the CD's were quickly replacing them by the mid 80's. Glass milk bottle deliveries would be signature classics of the 50s, 60's and maybe 70's in some places and an extinct or nearly extinct service almost everywhere by the 80's. The showcased TV programs and characters must be British or something else, never seen any of them. No MacGyver, Air Wolf, Spencer for Hire, Magnum PI, The A Team, Knight Rider, Family Ties, ALF, Fraggle Rock, Silver Spoons, Punky Bruster, nor the most important show that marks the 80's of all time in my opinion Miami Vice, not even Bosom Buddies. I recognize Are You Being Served in the video, that was an early 70's British show that ended in the 80's and is not uniquely 80's. It crossed over to the 80's but it was a uniquely 70's show. Anyone old enough to be in middle school, high school or college in the 80's should have been taking Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics, Chemistry and Physics and would have known the buttons on the calculator had a use. Unless you were 10-12 years old without a clue of what a scientific calculator was for. There are so many signature and classic 80's things all of which were missed in the video. Lite Brite, Simon Says, Mr. Potato Head, Cabbage Patch Dolls, Spirograph, Atari 2600 crossed over into the 80's as classic 80's game console, or the uniquely 80's game consoles of ColecoVision & Intelivision. Video games like Pacman, Donkey Kong, Smurfs, Asteroids. Nintendo Game consoles in the mid 1980's and Genesis consoles in the late 1980's. Not even Super Mario Brothers game still played today but classic 80's game. 80's hair styles, giant shopping malls, Valley Girl lingo, neon bright clothing and jewelry, Swatch watches, surfer shorts, Maimi Vice dress wear, Madona inspired clothing and jewelry, Frankie Says Relax shirts, GQ inspired teen and young adult dresswear, etc....... CapriSun fruit pouch drinks, Dr. Pepper, countless brands of cereal, cookies, and snacks. I can name hundreds none of which were covered. Most of what was covered is not uniquely 80's. It belongs in the 70's, maybe mid to late 70's. You could not have grown up in the 80's and not have been surrounded by all of these. These things circumnavigated almost the entire world, not just English speaking countries or just western countries. They were almost everywhere we traveled with my parents as a teen. Intermingled with their own local/cultural classics of the decade. We all have items we drag from one decade to the next that we do not dispose of. But they have their time frame of when they were classic, they represent a specific decade. Even if you still have it and it works 1-2 decades later, it still belongs in a unique time period.

@@jean-claudelol563 wow. Hope you’re ok mate. You seem quite angry. I was 4 when the 80s hit in the UK and these things are everything I think of as growing up in the 80s. I haven’t heard of many of the things you mentioned. There certainly weren’t giant shopping malls in the UK or some of the consoles you mentioned or tv shows. We had THREE tv channels here in the uk until 1984! Then we got a fourth channel. I bought my first CD in 1989 and I was the first out of my year to have a CD player then. Milk continued to be delivered door to door by electric milk float until the 90s here and in some areas they are still found today. Most stopped the service in the late 90s in the UK. I know it doesn’t appeal to Americans but maybe, just maybe, this is for my own colleagues here in the UK. There are bound to be clips for Americans about the 80s. This clip is my childhood and seemingly from the amount of likes and shares, for many many others. In addition, how long did you want the clip to be for goodness sake? If I included everything, it would be an hour long. I chose the most unique and amusing topics I could and I’m glad so many have liked and shared it from this side of the pond. Quite a few thousand from America have found it Tro’s night too. That’s all it is Felix so hopefully it hasn’t ruined your day too much :)

@@aldy74ComedyJames Who is Felix? You’ve addressed me as such twice. I’ve gone by many different handles on my account over the years, I don’t recall that being one of them. People love to stereotype and make assumptions and I love watching them try by periodically changing my account name/handle and avatar. Hmmm…. I may have had a Felix the Cat handle and avatar at one point, not sure it was on youtube tough. However you look at it, the video is 90% 70’s, maybe… 10% 80’s. You hit all icons classically 70’s and missed all the possible icons classically 80’s. It’s as if you were already too old in the 80’s to distinguish it from 70’s. Or…, not old enough to know the difference between the 70’s and 80’s. You presented it from the perspective as if I were to try to distinguish classic 60’s from classic 70’s having still been too young to really remember the 60 or 70’s. Or trying to distinguish the 2000’s from the 2010’s where at my age they blur together and seem the same. Even though they are not and each have their unique classic icons of each decade. More research, less repetitive assertions. My examples were all classic 80’s, indisputable. They were not classic 70’s or 90’s even if there was some overlap.

@@jean-claudelol563 no worries. You’re allowed your opinion Ofcourse. I’m lucky to see so many love the clips and feel they reflect their childhood in the 80s so I’ll have to fall back on that to make me feel ok :)
