The music is what I miss the most. And how the girls looked and dressed and acted back then . It was a beautiful time. I'm 50 years old now. The 80s were an amazing time to be a teenager.
So true the MUSIC sucks and SO MANY young ( should be attractive) Girls/ Lady’s Look like Plastic freaks from an old cheesey episode of Buck Rodgers Cheque out on RUclips theses two bands for the music you crave “Messer Chups” Try Call me Zombie and “HillBilly Moon Explosion “ try Queen of Hearts and Brown Eyed Boy Then let the music take you to another time
yeah it was, didn't have to worry about nothing me & my two sisters , my dad worked & payed the bills & mom took care of the house but I was the only who graduated in the 90's , 1992
Life is always simpler for most kids. It's all the "adult" stuff that burdens us. Bills, work, politics, finances..... Life just gets crappier as we get older, the world around us changes into something unrecognizable, our bodies break down, relationships and pieces of our life fall away. All that is left is longing for that "simpler time". Getting old sucks.
As a guy born in 1968, grew up in the 70's and a teenager in most of the 80's... this is an awesome video! Nostalgia never had it so good as this. Thank you for posting it.
man this made me cry lol i'm 42 in 2018 and sooo miss the 80's .. it's the unDISPUTED best era ever!! us kids that grew up then, know it to be true.. even the music was the best; not the garbage you hear now a days .. lol
I Agree Music was better Remember the hits Breakout Take on Me The Sun Always Shines On T V Gloria Girls just want to have fun and the Bangles Walk like an Egyptian .😊🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅
Yes this brought a huge smile to my face and I felt instant feelings of nostalgia! My childhood was the best…I miss those times. Now I’m 45 and life is so shallow and disingenuous compared to the 80’s and 90’s IMO. *sigh*
I remember every single thing in this video. I loved my childhood, and we had very little. It didn't take much back then. Just a little imagination and a couple good friends. I miss it so much. I wish my 12 year old daughter could be experiencing her childhood this way. I will keep watching these videos, I want to keep the memories fresh ❤️
Gosh I miss it so much. What has happened to us and our country . It was so innocent back then. I remember when olympics came on, they were like hero’s on tv.
Possibly THE BEST 80s vid I've ever seen. You brilliantly nailed the fact that growing up as a child in any particular decade means that you are also influenced by things from the previous generation! I in 1984 I watched as many syndicated reruns of shows from the 60s/70s as I did new episodes of Different Strokes or GI Joe. Within 10 years I could go to a music store and buy albums on 8 track, vinyl, cassette and CDs; movies on betamax, vhs, laserdisc and DVD.
Most of that stuff was around in the 70's too, some from the 60's. But there were a few things VERY 80's. ET? Garbage Pail kids? yeah, 80's But Blockbuster? They really did not become widespread until the 90's, in the 80's it was mostly "mom & pop" video rental stores in the 80's.
I just want to say thank you with all my heart. I buried my mom last week and this reminded me of all the great times I had with my mother. Thank you so very much.
Its like you went back to my childhood and took pictures of everything in our house! Especially at the very beginning. Thanks for posting! (I was born in '70)
Thanks for posting a awesome video. Born in 79 and grew up in the 80s. You really made me feel better. Those were the times when being a kid was just cool. In my opinion I believe that the 80s defies who are today. The world was different compared to today for sure. Best TV shows, cartoons, toys etc etc. Again thank you for posting this awesome video. #80salwaysinmyheart. #80srule4ever.
Born in 75, and my birthday is 3 days away. This brought back so many memories. Thanks so much! I got a couple more to add: Big League Chew Bomb Pops (the huge size) Muppet Show Punky Brewster Facts of Life Back to the Future Terminator Star Wars trilogy Indiana Jones Footloose John Hughes movies Lawn Jarts BMX bikes (GT, Diamondback, Mongoose) Break Dancing Portable Boom boxes Easy Bake Oven Sears catalog Toys R Us and Geoffrey Zantigos The damp blue and white paper copies at school California Raisins Microwave popcorn And a million more I missed...
Thanks so much for putting this upload together! Brough a lot of thump in my throught, with the memories, and makes you realise that time waits for no one...and you can never get it back! Regards from manchester uk, have a great evening! sonique
Nailed it! All of the sudden, I feel grateful for the time I grew up in (born in 75), and for my parents and what they gave me as a kid. I also feel further detached from a time that made sense and was good, and lonely as hell. I wish for my kids that they could experience the time I lived in for a month, but then they would be as depressed as I am, and that would be cruel.
It was the people that made those days better. They were a higher caliber. They were much more innocent while being much more mature. We were freer and had fewer Grows everywhere
Sweet console TV and component stereo. I dig the 'dial' thermostat "my mother could never leave it alone, much to the chagrin of my Dad whom was always conscious of the 'heating bills". The 'dial' phone was your connection with the outside world. 'Fun-Dip' and 'Pop Rocks' were sought after. Legend has it a kid blew-up from eating too many Pop-Rocks. Rewinding a cassette tape with a pencil or pen was standard 80s procedure. VHS tapes ruled in the 80s and 90s, yet I was always perplexed as to why 'Beta' as a superior format never took hold. To be honest some of this serious shiznitz is more 70s related.
Wow amazing collection. Lots of nostalgia here. I remember 90 percent of these items. Born in 78. The older I get the more I reflect. Thank you for this. It deserves far more views but according to some of the comments, here it is 5 years later and people still clicking! Thanks again.
What an awesome video. This is a time of life I cherished. Things were so much simpler back then. The music was a great choice also. Thanks for this. I will probably add this to my favorites so I can rewatch it from time to time to reset myself.
I was born in 67, my senior year was 1985, I just knew the music would be on here, but no??? well it was a big part of my 80's. 95% of the things in the video are spot on, thank you for the memories, I'm going now to find 80's music to keep this going...thank you so much for this video... "rock on dude". this was "gnarley"
I was born in 62 , but I remember all that stuff, if I didn't have it ,my friends did , I have been trying to find chicklets for a while ,not to many mom and pop stores left. I used to get those soda pops all the time. etc . just know you brought back a simpler time where peace and love was all that mattered right into the 80s. I want to time travel so bad right now, the world is full of hate, but I live in my own reality and happiness. I live like I'm still in that time, it's hard but worth it. ty for the smile you gave me.😁😁😁 plus I miss the Pepsi bottles esp when you could turn them in for a nickle apiece.
Thanks for posting this. It was great seeing so much stuff I had totally forgotten about. Kids today know computers, video games and social media. They are missing out on being a true kid. The 80's was the best decade to grow up in. So many great memories. The only thing I will say, is you may want to re-edit this. Having nothing except for music for the last couple of minutes is very strange. This should be cut out. Just my opinion. Other than that, it's great.
Born in 66 started high school 1980 I remember a lot of this. Star Wars Return of the jedi. Wearing bandanas around your legs with Levi Jean's concert shirts and Varney sunglasses with cat eyes. Water beds really got popular. Good times!
I think it was the best era to be a kid. I’d live it all over again in a heartbeat.
same here .
Yes i love grow up in 1980's
The music is what I miss the most. And how the girls looked and dressed and acted back then . It was a beautiful time. I'm 50 years old now. The 80s were an amazing time to be a teenager.
So true the MUSIC sucks and SO MANY young ( should be attractive) Girls/ Lady’s Look like Plastic freaks from an old cheesey episode of Buck Rodgers Cheque out on RUclips theses two bands for the music you crave
“Messer Chups” Try
Call me Zombie and
“HillBilly Moon Explosion “ try
Queen of Hearts and
Brown Eyed Boy Then let the music take you to another time
Could not have said it better. Class of 1987.
The 80s babes were legendary!
I agree I am 55 and grow up in the 70s and 80s
I miss the 80s when life was so simple ..
yeah it was, didn't have to worry about nothing me & my two sisters , my dad worked & payed the bills & mom took care of the house but I was the only who graduated in the 90's , 1992
Back when life was simpler
Amen
Life is always simpler for most kids. It's all the "adult" stuff that burdens us. Bills, work, politics, finances..... Life just gets crappier as we get older, the world around us changes into something unrecognizable, our bodies break down, relationships and pieces of our life fall away.

This made me cry😭😢😥😔
I miss it so much.

man this made me cry lol i'm 42 in 2018 and sooo miss the 80's .. it's the unDISPUTED best era ever!! us kids that grew up then, know it to be true.. even the music was the best; not the garbage you hear now a days .. lol
I hear you bro... I'm 45...very nostalgic
Me too man
Ok boomer... but not in a bad way...
I’m 35 and I agree
I Agree Music was better Remember the hits Breakout Take on Me The Sun Always Shines On T V Gloria Girls just want to have fun and the Bangles Walk like an Egyptian .😊🌅🌅🌅🌅🌅
Awesome...rad...totally cool...and so much more...thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I remember it all very well. It was a LOT better time to be an American than it is today. Fell in love for the first time in 1984.
1984....I won a little championship that year and was an all-star.
Yes this brought a huge smile to my face and I felt instant feelings of nostalgia! My childhood was the best…I miss those times. Now I’m 45 and life is so shallow and disingenuous compared to the 80’s and 90’s IMO. *sigh*
Same here, those good old days, stay safe.
Magical times and stuff when things were simple boys knew they were boys and girls knew they were girls
I completely agree my dear. You’re 5 years my senior, but I feel you!
Same here. I’m 46……. And you are so right.
I'm 46 and I feel the same. I teared up in the first 45 seconds of this vid.
I was born in 1971. I remember practically everything shown. I felt this video _so hard..._
never did i think a compilation of items would give me so many feelings.
I was surprised too... thinking "so and so had that!". It's not just the items. It's sisters and brothers and friends...
fond memories of a time gone, brought a tear to my eye,thank you very much for the post
I has tears 45 seconds in.
So many memories. I miss the 80s.
God i miss the 80,s it was such a fun decade to grow up in anything seemed possible ❤️
I remember every single thing in this video. I loved my childhood, and we had very little. It didn't take much back then. Just a little imagination and a couple good friends. I miss it so much. I wish my 12 year old daughter could be experiencing her childhood this way. I will keep watching these videos, I want to keep the memories fresh ❤️
Gosh I miss it so much. What has happened to us and our country . It was so innocent back then. I remember when olympics came on, they were like hero’s on tv.
When kids still had imaginations. You really took it back, 2 thumbs up!!!!
Now they can't function without someone telling them what to do on Facebook or Twitter.
Thank you for this video. I miss these days so much. Wish we could go back.💕😞
I remember almost every image shown. What a melancholy trip down memory lane. Makes me so miss my older days. Thank you!
Born in 74 ...miss the 80s. Probably the only time I was happy 😁😁😁
I can relate, Malcolm.
Born in 71 and grew up in 80's.... ty for hitting me in the "Feels". :)
I don’t want this to ever end. Thank you!

Oh wow. Such memories. I can say that growing up in the 80s was a great time. Look what we have become now.................
Loved it til it ended...Then I felt old again..😀
I know right?!
Born at the end of 1975. Being an 80's kid was the best!
I was born in 1968, and some of this looks way more 70's than 80's, but I experienced both decades and they were still *GREAT.*
I just want to say thank you with all my heart. I buried my mom last week and this reminded me of all the great times I had with my mother. Thank you so very much.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I know how hard it is. My Mom passed in 2018 and this video brought back so many memories of my young years with her
God I miss those days
Its like you went back to my childhood and took pictures of everything in our house! Especially at the very beginning.
Thanks for posting!

I was born in 1972. The 70s and 80s were all my childhood. From starting elementary school to graduating high school. Great times and Great memories.

Fruit Island Cereal "Hiyuma yuma!"
@@ragingbull154 But could your resist the temptation to open those neat new toys & leave em in the package so they'll be worth more in 35+ years?
Fruit Stripes gum was delicious...... For about 5 seconds😒
Sagittarius420 Cheefie yes it's true, but it was an amazing 5 seconds, lol
They still sell it at dollar tree
Thank you for the best memories ever.
I love the 80's!
Luv this born 1971😉😀

Can't believe the 80's were the best because I was around 7 years old then so so sad to miss
Thanks so much for putting this upload together! Brough a lot of thump in my throught, with the memories, and makes you realise that time waits for no one...and you can never get it back! Regards from manchester uk, have a great evening! sonique
One of the best 'back in the day' videos I've seen! So many memories! Thank you!!
The only thing missing there was the Sony Walkman! Man that was massive back then! 😊
I had mine in army basic training
Back when we didn't have cellphones back when everyone didn't get offended and we played outside
Great video so many memories I was born in 77 💯👍🏿👍🏼👍🏾👑👰🏿🖤❤💯
I was born in October of 1970 and I remember everything in this video. There was no decade like the 80s.
Nailed it!
All of the sudden, I feel grateful for the time I grew up in (born in 75), and for my parents and what they gave me as a kid. I also feel further detached from a time that made sense and was good, and lonely as hell.
I wish for my kids that they could experience the time I lived in for a month, but then they would be as depressed as I am, and that would be cruel.
Thank you for bringing back some really fond memories of the good times. I am blessed to have been a teenager in the 80's
Thanks for the great Memories.
OOOOOMMMGGGGG!!! Thank you for this presentation. What a BLAST from the past. 😍
Wow! Brings back memories from my childhood. I had many of those exact things.
It was the people that made those days better. They were a higher caliber.
They were much more innocent while being much more mature.
We were freer and had fewer Grows everywhere
The good old days for sure!
Thank you. This was awesome. 1972 born 80’s kid.

just disappointed this video wasn't made with 80's music .. fail on that part..
Wheres your version?
Missed opportunity.
It was to make it emotional.
I think the song adds something
I was born in 1980 and this nostalgia hit me like a train. Where did the days go 😭😢
Wow amazing collection. Lots of nostalgia here. I remember 90 percent of these items. Born in 78. The older I get the more I reflect. Thank you for this. It deserves far more views but according to some of the comments, here it is 5 years later and people still clicking! Thanks again.
This one hit home for me!!! Soooo many memories and stuff I’ve forgotten all about! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Loved the music too!!! Nice touch at the last part, letting each person remember their own memories!!!
What an awesome video. This is a time of life I cherished. Things were so much simpler back then. The music was a great choice also. Thanks for this. I will probably add this to my favorites so I can rewatch it from time to time to reset myself.
My God how I miss those times wish I could go back.
Exactly as I remember it! I also drove my mom’s 81 hand me down Chevy Chevette in high school!
Man, I still remember 17 years ago when gas prices were still that cheap.. If only it could go back to that..
NightSprinter Cost of living was so different. But then again, so was the pay.
Cool memories I remember nearly all of it.
This was absolutely "totally awesome "!! Thank u so much 4 bringing back such fantastic memories from such a golden time. Very well done.
I was born in 67, my senior year was 1985, I just knew the music would be on here, but no??? well it was a big part of my 80's. 95% of the things in the video are spot on, thank you for the memories, I'm going now to find 80's music to keep this going...thank you so much for this video...

I was born in 62 , but I remember all that stuff, if I didn't have it ,my friends did , I have been trying to find chicklets for a while ,not to many mom and pop stores left. I used to get those soda pops all the time. etc . just know you brought back a simpler time where peace and love was all that mattered right into the 80s.

I live like I'm still in that time, it's hard but worth it. ty for the smile you gave me.😁😁😁 plus I miss the Pepsi bottles esp when you could turn them in for a nickle apiece.
Thank You times a Million...this is pure Nostalgic Mind Candy 👍
Thanks for posting this. It was great seeing so much stuff I had totally forgotten about. Kids today know computers, video games and social media. They are missing out on being a true kid. The 80's was the best decade to grow up in. So many great memories.
The only thing I will say, is you may want to re-edit this. Having nothing except for music for the last couple of minutes is very strange. This should be cut out. Just my opinion. Other than that, it's great.
Some of this is from the 70"s as well. Good video 😊
Born in 66 started high school 1980 I remember a lot of this.
Star Wars Return of the jedi.
Wearing bandanas around your legs with Levi Jean's concert shirts and Varney sunglasses with cat eyes.
Water beds really got popular.
Good times!
Thanks for making this video. It made me feel really good remembering all those amazing times
I lost it at the silver box that flips the tv from game to antennea.
I didn't even know that memory was still in m'mellon.
After seeing this and getting hit by that wave of nostalgia... I realized for the first time that I really am "over the hill."
Oh how i miss it. Life was much simpler and all around good.
I miss that time. Who would have ever known this decade would be the last great decade.
The scratch and sniff stickers i remember those 😃
I miss those days
Oh heavens, it was like you went back into my childhood! So radical!!!!!
WOW!!!! I just came across this and I’m almost in tears remembering my youth and how much I loved the 80’s!!
@Lil' Randall what you want to know Bubba.
Just seen my life flash before my eyes...
Wish I had a time machine to go back to those days! Station wagon and Chocolate QUICK!! Smurfs and Atari! Lol
TOYS R US?!!! 😌
I was just saying that it even look different than today too u can tell
what a wonderful journey through so many memories...thank you for posting this.
The orange juice gum got me, thanks now im depressed for the rest of the day!
Thanks for the video. Forgot about some of these. Brought back great memories
Omg I had a good 1/2 of these toys. The 1980’s were so cool!!! #Longlivethe80’s
