That kid: "It's just a subway, nobody cares if I'm shirtless"
30 yrs later
4 million people:👀👀
Take a picture of him
He must be in his late 40's now.
Why was he shirtless anyway tho... I can never truly know
Yah got it
〘serial sleeper〙 It looks like they were going to swim, in some shots he was holding a towel and he’s wearing what appears to be swimming shorts
this is why it's so important to take videos, even of seemingly meaningless things like a subway ride because watching this is like stepping into a time machine
Totally!
Totally. That reminds me i need to buy a camera.
For random people on the internet!
💯💯💯💯💯
That's a really good point its kinda of funny to see how things were back in the day
This is a piece of history right here. Nothing short of a masterpiece. Nothing too special just a moment in time captured.
calm down. its nothing to brag about.
masterpiece lol
@@robroy6374 Bro , was lowkey livin the NYC life until 1980 (age 10) shit is real as it gets. Coney was dirty AF, crime was outta control, visiting my relatives at Flatbush & Coney every summer. Foster Ave. & Coney island Boulevard (Ditmas Park) was mostly an Italian/ Jewish neighborhood back in the 70's early 80's. Different times my guy...
@@LeopoldMaysonet so? those days are over.
@@LeopoldMaysonetWhat does that have to do with this guys home video, lol
My dad was born and raised in NY. These videos describe NY exactly how my dad said it was during the 70’s and 80’s. ❤
No cell phones... apparently they used spray paint to communicate back then
Shay Kosovac People talked face to face back then. There isn’t a better way to get to know someone. Spay painting, also called tagging, was used to get the attention of as many people as possible. Sort of like posting on the internet.
@@MrWhoevr damn, you really missed the joke.
Lucyller I didn’t miss it I dismissed it.
Shay Kosovac good joke
MrWhoevr Nice one :D
Bro that kid is walking around NY like its his living room.Zero fucks given
0 fucks given about laying his face on that seat
All he needs is a pillow and a remote.
Dave H Lol. That's what I thought! When I was that age I had that shirt off, too. " It's casual".
Very interesting how things change.
Dave H that's how we are now lol
This footage from 1987 is still better quality than most CCTV cameras today.
This footage is a valuable piece of history.
Safe to say whoever that shirtless boy is now.. he is definitely immune from the coronavirus
LMAO!!!!! I was thinking the same damn thang!!!!!!!!!
why ?
@deadmanw@lk1ng that boy is gonna wind up getting the corona LMFAOOO 😂😂😂😂
@BNOZ99 ! Bruh are u fuckin stupid I’m from the u.s. and I live in NY like wtf are u talking about I’m not from no other country smh 🤦♂️😂😂😂
@BNOZ99 ! Yea I am from the U.S. tho and I’m from queens NY and ur right about that I am one of them I’m like a samurai of darkness #Animeforlife 😈😈
Shirtless guy is probably immune to everything at this point in life
He could jump in the Hudson River and be fine
Find him, he probably has the cure to coronavirus
Be careful! Twitter bans people who dissent from what the people who run the UN believe to cure or not cure coronavirus.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
& shoeless
i love how VHS renditions try to be as low quality as it can be
but when i look at VHS from the actual era, they seem pristine and recognizable
this video seems to be up-rezed in some way. extremely high quality for the cameras at the time.
Upscaling
The audio is pretty good. It could also be Video8.
i just wish there was more lol.. every time the video ends i'm feeling like there should be more! i love how he recorded so many things its like he knew people were going to want to watch all of it. thank you nelson rip bud
have a sex change and a fire hose
Yeah I've watched this a bunch of times when it comes into my feed.
a person coming onto this train from japan would have a heart attack
Can I ask why ?
@@RandomPerson-hj8fq first of all the boy lying down on the chairs, the graffiti, and everyone talking at a normal voice
@@livindeadghoul also the fact that it is not completely crowded as hell, there's a lot of space between people.
@@livindeadghoul A lot of people talk in a normal voice in Osaka's metro, tho. Also in certain lines of the Tokyo metro.
@@peskymacaw9033 they talk normally in the stations, but its common courtesy to be quiet in the trains
And amusing to remember that the guy filming was walking around with a 5 pound plastic box the size of a loaf of bread on his shoulder the whole time.
🤣👍🏾
Now we have video cameras on phones that fit in our pockets, and can easily upload to RUclips, an extremely popular website.
So now people are spending money on radio equipment.....
🤣
Turbo Pokey glad no one stole it
LMAOO
My heart is literally aching with joy! I made this trek from Queens from 1980 to 1987. The fun we had! Far Rockaway and Coney Island were the places to be! Great video! By the way, several things I love about this video.... First, this looks like such a fun NY group of kids! Mostly, I love that no one is on a damn cellphone. They are connected to each other and not to a damn phone!
It is amazing that will lived without cellphones. If I don't know where my phone is for one minute I am in panic mode.
@chris-tg1hv That sounds kind of sad. No one should live that way. Sounds like an addiction. That can't be healthy. I often leave my phone at home deliberately. I need to know that it has no hold on me.
@@RumbleFish69No it’s just cuz they’re expensive and so necessary in everyday modern life. Also he was talking about losing it, not knowing where it is, by leaving it at home you know where it is.
He literally has a camera on. And everyone seems thankful for the capture. What's the difference? This is a new era. Get over it. Old people back then where probably complaining about the dirty af train, Graffiti, everyone being high of cocaine, girls half naked, guys half naked,... And so on. You just got old, that's all.
You can thank China for the cell phone epidemic
Lol NYC was so fckin dirty in the 70’s and 80’s and we just accepted it.
It looks so surrealistic, like a movie from a dystopian future/past
No it looks like a train ride to Coney Island in 1987
PokeDoke Zoomers...
The professional Camper and proud
The professional Camper I mean he/she didn’t lie
Nathan Casey lol
Wtf my wallet was stolen while watching this.
Tremendous. Why doesn't this have more likes?
Hahaha , that was a good one.
is it weird to ask that i didnt get it
yawnb00ty you ain’t from around here 😂
xyre you live ina rough then we all the same
Look at those kids just laying face down on the dirty ass seats! 😂 so badass!
That young man went down for a nap, and came up with several STD’s.
I'm so glad I clicked on this video! What a cast of characters, I mean, you could have written a broadway musical about this trip alone!! Thanks for posting this absolute jem!
I'd go to the performance if it existed! If created, please bring the production to the Des Moines Civic Center, :-)
A Broadway musical...I love it...get a bunch of guys to blow some producers. Hire Miranda and his clan and write some shitty music and you've got a hit Broadway musical.
The guy in the yellow pants is Michael Musto. He was a prolific writer, journalist, and television personality. He had a very popular column in the weekly newspaper, The Village Voice, and was MTV’s nightlife correspondent for quite some time.
The guy who “thought” of recording this trip is surely a time traveller
Please explain more.
Video cameras existed back then (VHS), was the size of a bazooka!
@@shahedmc9656 - Time travel Traveling the currents of time its cool try it
Maybe I should record more boring and day to day things these days (instead of myself) and it will be interesting in the future
brendielahooha yup that’s what op meant
No cell phones. No social media. Just great hair and cocaine. Ahh the 80s
And gays
@@craftah gays still exist
@@YellowSubmarine8 The cocaine too
@@YellowSubmarine8 but there was more gays in the 80s
Andre De Fleur gays were more gay
I am from Brooklyn and rode this train every single day! What a flashback! 😊
I recognize that movie theater at 4:25. It's a Marshalls store now! People used to always tell me it used to be a theater. But seeing it...wow....
The Loew’s Oriental… one of the great NY movie palaces. It was beautiful.
Who’s watching this in September 2020?

It's 9/11 2020
Why is this recommended on 9/11/2020? 🤦♀️

Amazing footage. That half naked guy is about 40 something today
Before cell phones. People would engage
D Maxson you clearly don’t know anything about nelson
Wow. I was 17 and holy shit do I feel old. Those days are never returning. Cherish those years kids,it flies by
Same here
I was 16
I wasn't even born. I was born in 1993.
Whoever upload these videos: thank you. There’s always hate everywhere, even back then.
This video here shows a lot of wholesome moments in 10 minutes. Honestly this is a great education of the life in New York of other folks around.
Again, thanks. And thank you, Nelson. I know he is long gone, but his videos are immortalized.
Haters? This looks like a 3rd world country. A city that ONCE was a shinning beacon of hope for the entire world. But now..... there is no way that I'm visiting that he'll hole unless I'm packing. And don't even think about approaching me on any level. Unless there is an emergency.
The question is why this kid is shirtless and barefoot walking around in NYC
It's called being dirt poor.
ⒷⒶⓃⒼ|ⒷⒶⓃⒼ you don’t have to say it like that. Nyc is a tough place to live you know
ⒷⒶⓃⒼ|ⒷⒶⓃⒼ and he does have shoes if u watched long enough. He took them off before he put his feet on the bench.
The inmune system is at their best function . In the 80s nobody care about bacteria an viruses 🦠
He must be a RHCP fan.
This could be 1987, or the year 3000 post-nuclear war.
Then what year is it now meat head
Cuzzy is there any need for that ? Learn some manners
@@vicvvs6189 Cuzzy doesn't understand the joke. It's okay. Cuzzy is from the year 3000 and those jokes haven't been reinvented yet.
M. Stewart I understand the joke it was just a bad one
@@vicvvs6189 it was free. 😁
Not phones, not the Internet, not social networks. Humanity is beyond digital slavery! Cool time!
Brings back a lot of Brooklyn/ Coney Island memories from the 80s! Loved it!! The train rides back and forth from Williamsburg to Coney Island seemed like an eternity when i was kid 😂 but i loved every minute looking out the window and just not feeling at all scared or afraid. It was just great seeing a diverse group of people. It was around the same year of this video, when my family went to Coney Island and my mom said there was a photographer taking pics of people at the beach just hanging out. He asked if he could take a picture of me and my chocolate ice cream covered face 😂😂 I was 6/7 at the time😂
Looking out the window? WTF are you talking about. If those are window, they look like no one cares either to clean them. Or the public doesn't care enough to respect them.
Ya.... at first I thought that this train was part of a nightmare or horror scene in a movie. But this is reality of a filthy, decaying and depressing hot mess. No wonder every person who visits NYC says it a dirty place, that smells like urine and rot.
But I'm glad for this video. Because if I visit m, I'm packing. Ya..... don't even think about approaching me about anything.. I'm going to take care of business, and keep on a stepping. Cuz, that looks like a war zone. And the most important thing in any war, is self preservation. That's right, it's me -v- you, and I'm going to take care of me.
Don't get it twisted, I'm not starting troubles. Just minding my own business. Therefore if you leave me alone, I'll leave you alone.
Vlogs in 1987

Times where diffrent back then and I wasn't even alive back then.
Yeah man... me too..
My mom will slap my snit on me if I do like that hahha
This is the year I was born.
Whoa! Brings back memories of my train rides as a kid in NYC. I just showed this to my 10 year old and told him "this is the only way you'll experience NYC the way I experienced it as a kid, thru these kinds of videos, etc."
NYC transit in the 80's and 90's so gritty... Love it!
Think they ever imagined 31 years later people from all over the world would watch this? 💖
Never
I mean, Michael Musto (the guy in the very beginning) is still alive and pretty well-known for writing for the Village Voice. I'm sure someone's told him about this by now.
I was replying to your question on who you wondered was still alive and watched it recently.
no worries
They probably imagined you and I were soulmates and that we would find each other one day through watching this video, Monique.
This footage from over 30 years ago is still better quality then any UFO video
Lmao good one!
Hahahahaha
Right! Also any nasa footage
Hahahahha
*than
I literally took that ride to C.I. hundreds of times with my mother, as a child, and then with friends in my teenage years! Brings back memories!!
This was amazing, can’t wait to dig into your channel further.
Its weird to think that those teens are now in their 40s-50s
Or dead.
what's weird about it?
17y old +30 =47.....
News flash people age
and some of us weren’t even born 😀
@@thestruggler776 the cameraman didn't die lol. Michael is still living his best life.
Legend says the kid is now 47 years old and still shirtless
shut up stupid remark not even funny ,your probably toothless
@@paulmcdonough1093 You're probably the kid shut up
@but2star you want everyone to please your emotions
I wasn't born until 1990. I thought that Blonde Woman in the orange dress was attractive.
Any born in the 80s is pushing 30-40. That kid is probably in his late 40s today
I love this video. Looks like a fun gathering of friends hanging out at someone’s house or apartment - except it’s on a train.
What a great channel here. So many times I wanted to film my adventures growing up in LA but got distracted but other things. I love the carefree feeling of the everyday happenings. Very cool. Thanks
can't believe this was 300 years ago
SIKK RMXS quit messing with the "pasties" here. They always tell us to never meddle. It's all merely research.
SIKK RMXS 30 Bro 30
I think you're off by a zero.
This is obviously 3000 years ago.
😂😂😂
amazing this was actually 3,000 years ago
This is the most confusing thing I’ve ever seen like every second it got more weirder
'More weirder' 😄😄
Ikr
Well, it was the club kids
That’s exactly how nyc subway rides are tho till before corona
More diverse but still the essence is the same
grateful to have stumbled upon this amazing timecapsule of a channel
This is wonderful. Thank you warmly
This guy travelled time and started vlogging before it was a thing
Kaisy Neistat from 80's
YOUR ON TO SUM
yes
STRAIGHT FACTS
Majority of Americans who owned a camcorder during the 70s 80s and 90s did this. I'm sure it dates back farther
32 years ago. These kids must now be in their 50s
Thx for the likes
Nah. 40s
Try 60s and Nelson the guy who does the camera work passed away in 1989.
People get old...so will you ...profound isn't it?
Math isn’t your thing I see.
I was 9 years old in 1987. Now I’m 42. Time really does fly by!!!
Wow this is so amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing 🥰
Makes me wish I was there! the '80s seem amazing I love NY and God bless these retro vlogs! thankful to watch them.
But how ugly the city of New York looks in this video, it looks like a city in an underdeveloped country, dilapidated and dirty buildings, ugly streets, the train full of garbage and graffiti. I can't believe it's New York.
I promise you, it wasn’t that great.
@@Peaceshiet812Nobody gives a shit
That train is literally more vandalized than a back alley wtf.
Or your mum
@@dwad3ify that was uncalled for, my good sir.
I mean that was normal for nyc in the 80's. People didn't give a fuck about graffiti back then
ny graffiti didnt have any laws for a while. you could go right on the rails and paint the outside of trains. then fences came and security. the inside of the trains were still being marked. so now the insides are made in a way they can be cleaned easily and the paint dont stick permanently. they were spending so much money on the inside and outside of cleaning trains they pretty much developed every way possible to make it not work. the graffiti fines werent that much also. i dont know what they are now but you might get $100 fine in ny or even just let go and charged only for some kind of petty vandalism or tresspassing. in my city you can get 5 years of community service if you get caught.
Raoul Duke lol
Imagine going shirtless and barefoot on a NYC subway in any era.
Is it not good?
@@vanilla5710 hell TF no
@I like Potatoes do u have needles on the floor in NYC Metro?
@I like Potatoes 😭
for real that's so gross. i won't even wear open toed shoes in the city!
Nelson Sullivan truly was so ahead of his time, I do believe his collection of recordings inspired what we know as vlogging today
We are so fortunate to have easy access to such amazing pieces of history at our fingertips
RIP Nelson and thank you for educating us children today on LGBTQ+ culture in 80s NYC
Love watching videos from the 1950s - 1990s, it provides a temporary escape from 2023, i was born in 1959. 📹

Omg true!
@@alitheabbas45 you think that's sad? You never held a real clay tablet. T
That's the NY I remember. I remember being told these things: "Don't go to the last boxcar wearing jewelry. Don't go to Central Park at night - don't go during the day if you can help it - and mind your own business." My first landlord back in NY told me this: "I know there's cockroaches, but if this place was any nicer, you couldn't afford it." Rent was $450 for a one bedroom apartment in Hell's Kitchen in 1987. I miss this NY.
Now that apt is 3500-4000
I was told, "Don't look up at the Sky scrappers"... Meant you were a newbie!
Were the last boxcars known for more crime? Didn't know that
Grew up in Jamaica Queens 83-89.... This was exactly how I remembered NY. I went to PS 117 and JHS 217... It felt like prison. Those two schools taught me how to fight. It was a jungle.
@King Delevingne Damn, I'm a grown man, and didn't even know that.
Love coming back to watch Nelson's videos after a while not seeing them
I love these urban ambience, fly on the wall type of videos that pop up from back in the day. Relaxing and intriguing
this could be an 80's music video so easily.
Doogie N.D. This could be a David Lynch film!
Doogie N.D. - it's like Michael Jackson's Bad. video

oh yeah

Cool thought! Lol very clever
No graffiti is cringe
cover tv ho you’re cringe loser
I dont get it
No, Graffiti is shit........
Always wanted to go to Coney Island , the warriors🇬🇧🇬🇧
Bro it's dirty AF just giving you a heads up..
Do u think in his wildest dreams Nelson would have imagined more than 5 million people would one be watching his videos one day?
Wherever u are mate I hope u know how special u were.
I don't know why this has been recommended but I will watch it nonetheless
Billy Bob definitely a victim of child abuse.

after a week i was like " fuck it ill watch"

freddyy I know right lol I guess over time things dumb down and people become less appreciative of things but this is retro man it's crazy how trends back then make these trends we have now or grew up with makes us say wow we use to watch cartoons on tv in the morning kids can stream it on a ipod laptop if they want
freddyy what jungle. life?
concrete is ugly as fuck, nature is beautiful
freddyy because these modern days videos are so edited they loose their natural flavor
no im just saying its videos from wayyy before i was a born. its pretty cool
I took this exact trip to coney 09' and I'm really blown away how familiar it all looks still.
True Story. Growing up in Washington State, I visited NYC on Business for the first time ever in 2016 at 50 years old (I had to make the trip alone). Loved NY and one Sunday morning while at the Hotel, I came up with the Great idea of visiting Coney Island (Since i had heard about it many times growing up). So I mapped it out and hopped on the Subway. I First visited Roosevelt Island via the Tram, then made my way to Court Square to catch the "G". Of Course, At the end of the G, I had to wait for the "F" to go the Final Leg. When I approached Coney Island, I was like "Wow, this is Quiet" (And there were just a couple people on the Train). I get out, cross the Street and Coney Island was CLOSED for the Fall and Winter🤣😅🤣🤦 (it was like late October and the temp was actually in the Mid 60's, so nice) . But I had No Idea they closed down for the cold months. So I walked around feeling like an idiot, and Thankfully Nathan's was the only thing open, so I had their Famous Hot Dogs and then hopped on the "F" to Downtown Brooklyn; Transferred to the "A" or "C" for one stop, and Walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. That's my Coney Island Story😛😛😛😛 I love NYC and have visited many times since.
this is seriously one of the most raw things i’ve ever watched on youtube. 1987, IN NEW YORK. wow.
rightt!
Exactly. Right when and where I was born. :)
Epic Realist that’s so cool!! i wish i was alive back then.

Visited Coney for first time today. Your video made for great contrast…thx!
I'm a future cinematographer, still trying to get into college, and I absolutely love to study about the past, how people lived, and what were the mundane things of the past compared to mundane things now. This is gold in a pot for me, it's so simple yet so perfect for what I like to look at. I watched every second with amazement.
I hope that the people in this video continue to live long, blessed and happy lives
Not that much different compared to today. Only major difference, no internet and no iPhones.
When this randomly pops up in your suggested loo
I know. Where the hell did this come from?? Haha
Lowkey Matt yup
Lowkey Matt, I wonder why?
very strange
Lowkey Matt same
Glad I'm not the only one haha
This just feels a weird dream to me
Omg yes
I experienced this very thing yet it seems like a dream more than anything.
That’s how the 80’s felt.
I'm 49 now , was 15 & in high school in 1987. This video doesn't seem very old to me at all but I know to a 15 yr old, it looks/seems like forever ago. At 15 in 1987 I thought 1967 was a long time ago. It literally felt like 50-60 yrs ago when it was only 20. I can't believe this was 34 yrs ago, it's weird how time and age greatly changes our perceptions of the world. I still ride around on 1985 motorcycle . Teenagers today probably think it's super old school and surprised it still runs.
Epic timepiece thank you for sharing!

Back when it was cheap to live in NY without a credit check. As long as you had a job and paid your rent and didn't smoke crack you could live in any of the boroughs.
Michael Knight Yeah back when NY was a crack town and crimes were prevalent graffiti on the trains. NY is so much better now
So true
Not da Park Avenue
all the scumbags from NYC moved and ruined upstate NY thanks Giuliani you pos
Lol,even if you smoked crack:P
I feel like i'm going back in time whenever I watch these videos
The beauty and miracle of photography/videos/movies - You can capture a moment in space/time on a piece of plastic virtually forever.
No ones going to talk about how this was recommended to them 8 years later on RUclips...
True. RUclips logarithm is messed up. Lol
What did I do to earn this especially now
Everything in it’s time
We think this is the past, but RUclips is really just showing us our future, what NYC will look like again under its current Mayor.
Lmao that algorithm
Who else always ends up watching these random ass videos RUclips recommends
Me
Me too 😱
Me I guess
You should lurk the rest of the videos on this channel. What ends up being a random recommendation ends up being hours of fascinating video. Nelson Sullivan was a vlogger before vlogging was even a thing.
I don't know how I got here
Time Capsule! Thanks for sharing. Beautiful family and friend.
Love this video, thanks for sharing 🤗
This train looks like the physical embodiment of drugs
jarrett maltry like riding the mushroom train. Wow

You got that right!

Lmao good one. Oddly to me, its this type of "flare" that New York is missing these days. Smh. NY kinda really sucks now.
I feel like I need to shower after watching this video.
LMFAO I felt the same way 😩😂
You would feel the need for a shower after being anywhere in NYC for the whole day.
I’m sure that train car smelled like stale beer, piss, Swisher Sweets and crappy life choices...

I miss the 80’s!!!
Ahh back in the day if only time travel existed I'd give it all away to go back with all I Kno now...
Ok RUclips algorithm, why is this video suddenly appearing on thousands upon thousands of peoples feeds all of a sudden?
Because it's got a dude dressed as a woman. It pushes the narrative.
Because it makes the past seem dystopic, which distracts us from the present state of decay
I know right?!

Good question
Strange but interesting. How will the world look like in another 31 years?

The train looks like something taken from The Warriors
The Warriors was made in 1979. About the same timeline.
That’s exactly where they ended up; the Warriors territory was Coney Island
When The Warriors see Coney they know their home. They like to think they’re safe. 🌊
This is great
Yes it is
The times when you could dangle around barefoot and wearing trunks only and nobody gave shit about it.
murienrouge who the fuck would want to live in a world like that? it's like everywhere you go, you're in a Walmart world.
Joel Moreno
walmart?.
where are all the fatties
I also think it has to do with our phones. I mean everything is recordable in a second. If you dare to do something different than others like overthere in a subway you can count on it that your face is shown atleast at one social media platform. It's a bit like big brother is watching you all the time.
that's cause it was less people then, without it being labeled like in today's world.
you always belive what you heard?
The comments about everyone in the video looking depressed are definitely not from New Yorkers bc they look perfectly happy to me 😂 lol
Watching this from in Japan, I can imagine the shock of any Japanese tourist taking this train.
This is strangely calming to me
Same
It feels familiar
Me too. Something about the demographics...
Probably cause it was a place where you free to do and say whatever you wanted and nobody would give a fuck
Because there is no diversity. Peaceful
