I will never forget Miami Vice, Police Academy, American Ninja, Rambo 2, Beverly Hills Cop 1, Bloodsport, Jackie Chan, Phil Collins, the beginning of Hip Hop, the 1986 World Cup with Maradona, the comic books Marvel, DC...a time with no smartphone, no social media influencers. I am glad I was alive to see it, and live through it.
I feel like the corporatization of the entire internet and the politicization of literally everything in our lives turned the world into a state that's almost locked in cultural stasis. Music, movies and tv etc have all not just been basically the same for the last 20 years, but in fact a lot of it actually is just the same stuff! We have no culture anymore, no real soulful art, just corporate "content", endlessly regurgitated mind distraction fodder and style over substance gumpf all churned out to the same templates too.
i KNOW. I can still see and remember everything like it was just 10 or 15 years ago. I still watch all 80s Christmas TV ADs from here and all over the country including Canada. I still play 80s music along with the new material of today. I was a great decade. That's one thing I love about the sitcom Psych. They always celebrate the 80s from the opening scene.
me and my friend took on a bunch of ninjas who were clowning the local shop keeper a prety asian girl, we got our asses kicked and my friend ended up in a coma, ive been training under the shop keepers uncle, his an old man who vowed to never teach his secrets, but i won his heart, and have been dating his niece, while preparing to go back and kick the ninjas asses once and for all. i found out the ninjas work for a drug dealing real-estate developing corporation and the ceo is a super ninja. they wanted to shut the store down to demolish the local neighbor hood and build a high rise casino, they have taken my girl freind as leverage i am listening to this music while remembering what they did and what i had to go through. wish me luck the final battle is tomorrow
The 80s feels more like a movie that plays over and over in my head than an actual place in time. I consider it both a blessing and a curse to be an 80s kid.
I used to think the 80s was not all that wonderful, but now, in retrospect, it was a helluva lot better than the 2020s are. Homelessness, insane amounts of greed (so bad that people believe communism is a good idea), crazy interest rates, massive barriers to job market entry, people losing homes after paying for them for decades, housing costing 2/3rd actual income levels (especially rent), so many ridiculous laws and rules (can't walk down the street without committing some sort of victimless crime), extreme violence and "Karens" everywhere, and a new generation that's prejudice to an extreme (there's always been some racial prejudice, but I don't recall people going on murder rampages on the sole basis of skin color, religious preferences, etc), having to jump through hoops just to get a place to live, gentrification out the wazoo, and more. Let's not forget that most of society is now on psychotropics (and the obesity epidemic from anti-depressants, nutrient-free food, and super-sized food/drinks, is out of control). The future dystopian warnings of the 1980s have all come true and the system is wrapped up in clear, sterile, plastic packaging, marketed at every turn, and controlled by parasitic psychopaths calling themselves "elite".
I wasn't even alive in the 80's... yet I somehow still miss it. 80's has a special place in my heart. The fashion, synthesizers, the overall vibe was much better than any other decade. Humankind was still discovering most things we are accustomed to nowadays. Humans in general had morals and values, which sadly diminished over the years. Anyway, enough ranting. 80's forever!
See the music has that effect I love 80's music the lyrical content was way better. I listened to the Dababy yesterday and his song shake something was like bitch bitch bitch lol. I'm good I'll stick to Vaporwave.
Morals? Sure, from the decade of "greed is good". I agree we have a severe lack of values today but I'm not sure the '80s was a poster child for good values. 😂
I lived and experienced the 80's in full lenght which made me an old man today. But I don't feel old if someone from a younger generation shows his appreciation to this long gone era. Thank you.
I was very much alive in the 80's and while I harbor nostalgic feelings for the time period, I am not ignorant to the lack of morals and values of the time. Things were not so great, it's just that as kids and teens WE weren't facing the issues head on, our parents were. What has happened over the years is a flashlight has been shed on those who operated without morals and ethics in the 80's and even decades before.
I have an Audi Coupe 1984. At night, after work i drive through the city to my home, and im listening retrowave and synthwave. At that time I am in 80-s, in Vice City (Miami)
I so miss the good old days of real music like this. So much thanks for bringing me back to the good old days. 1980s were the absolute best years ever.
Miami Vice.....the Lambo....Everything pink and purple...a time like no other....Love it brother keep up the good work....I can see Crockett and Tubs cruising in the black Ferrari
I’m in my mid 20s here in Miami but old school myself. All of my friends are old men already and a lot of them were heavy hitters back in the day. The 80s is what started serious movement in Miami.
Eighties. LCD watches, LED almost everuthing else. Vcrs blinking 12:00, big crt tvs, tiny crt tvs, Walkmans, cassette tapes, boom boxes, cd players, IBM pcs, floppy discs, Compuserve, ninjas, great movies, B movies, chrome was out, black trim was in, disco was out, hair metal was in, home stacked stereos, just a great decade. Subbed.😊
80s. Moved to NYc. Crack & AIDs& emptied out mental institutions - and yet I still miss the steamy macrobiotic cafes, the high quality of clothes, Patti Smith, mergers&aquisitions, street guys spraying the car with shaving cream to 'clean the windsheild', when at my job, the worst crime on Wall St. was insider trading, as opposed to planes crashes into the towers. I think I worked too much in the 80s!
This playlist has a bit of a Jan Hammer "Miami Vice" feel to it. I could see Crockett and Tubbs cruising along in the Testarossa on a warm Miami night on their way to bust some big Columbian drug lord with this playing in the background. This very lucky child of the 80's approves!
This playlist has quickly become my favorite Synthwave video on RUclips. - I am bewildered at how your music is free of copyright, as I perceive talent and dedication in each track's making. - Thank you Karl Casey, and I am keenly paying attention now!
Same! it's quite lenient. If I ever make a video game (that's what I do) and use this music I'll definitely be contacting this person for a proper remuneration. Such hard work can't go unrewarded
Should I be concerned that my memories of 80s movies are slowly being replaced by very convincing Key & Peele parodies of 80s movies? This video immediately reminds me of Detective Key screaming a desperate "Noooooo!!!" into the sky.
Thank you so much man, i just want you know there are people on the globe that truly cherish your efforts. Greetings to you from Saudi Arabia brother❤️🇸🇦.
Due to copyrigth issues, free copyrigth music like this is the only way for streamers like me to promote a good enviroment in my streams, and White Bat Audio is the channel I mostly use as background music for my work. I also realized there are other streamers doing the same since I recognize such songs on their streams - adicionally, the music is awesome since I love the 80s! This channel deserves more recognition, not only due to the fact that it provides literally FREE MUSIC to ANY STREAMER (which itself is a big deal in the streaming world) but also because the music is good! Honestly sometimes I forget about crediting this channel (due to being sometimes late for the streams and need to start them in a rush) but from now one I will keep that in mind more often, this channel deserves it, and it's resposible for some memorable moments in my streams - thank you Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio!
I LOVE the 1980s. The movies, music, cars, stylish clothes, VHS tapes, Cassette tapes and my favorite, Synthesizers! It's surprising because I wasn't even close to being born yet.
Thank you so much for sharing this incredible playlist! Every track feels perfectly chosen, and it’s been such a joy to listen to. The flow of the music is spot on, and it’s clear you put a lot of thought into curating it. I can’t wait to play it on repeat! 🎶🙌
The track 'Black Rainbows' while excellent, has some synths very similar to the great but bizarre movie 'Beyond the Black Rainbow, 'Home' has some shades of Clint Mansell, 'Act lll' sounds like Kumite from Bloodsport, 'Androids and Sentient Beings', has those riffs from 'Public Image Order of Death', but then tracks like 'Neon Glow', 'Floating', 'The Traveler', 'Impala', 'Vice', 'Rendezvous', 'The Call', 'Neon Breeze', are all so beautiful, surreal and original that i do not know where you delved to in order to create these melodies. This is Gold.
my new favorite. love how this music makes me FEEL, especially when i stare at the graphic (pink lambo and guy in the suit and the palm trees). this makes reading feel like a fun experience. thank you!!!
5 HOURS you mad Legend , you're the best that happened to me finding music on RUclips and im a bit shocked that there aren't 155.000.000 Subscribers yet ❤🔥😈👌👌
Just commenting to say that this music is SO GOOD. I've been listening to it while I work and it is just so perfect. I wouldn't ever have a need for using it in content creation, but the fact that it is copyright free is cool AF too. Keep doing what you're doing, this is so damn good.

80's will never die. It's not just a decade...it's a lifestyle.

The fashion and the prices, designs on things and art work and nightclubs and party life and night life just hit totally different
Yeah, the lifestyle of getting aids and dying
How Miami Vice this is.
Im 52 was a teen in the 80s i miss those years !
I totally agree. 51 now.
Right behind you guys😎

I dont understand how the 80s always feels like it was 20 years ago. In 2034 it will still feel like that.

hell some of the stuff from the 90 and early 2000s seems like yesterday sometimes lol.
Feeling old? Jurassic Park came out 20 years ago.
It's scary to think that distance between now and the 80s today, is the same as the 80s and the 40s (WW2!). It only feels like yesterday.
The late 80's, early 90's was peak America. We will never have it again.
Good :)
Sadly! It was perfect!!!
This has made going through spreadsheets all day feel like I'm in an 80's movie montage. Love it
Lotus 1-2-3 ?
yes. awesome for productivity!
lol
Ironically going thru spreadsheets is potentially a very 80s thing to do.
Badass.

A blessing to be an eighties kid, a curse to not be in the eighties.

80's has a special place in my heart. The fashion, synthesizers, the overall vibe was much better than any other decade. Humankind was still discovering most things we are accustomed to nowadays.
Humans in general had morals and values, which sadly diminished over the years.

Unless you have some health conditions. Modern science has gone a long way since the 80s

This video brings back fond memories of the 1980's, it was truly a special era to be alive.
I ride my motorcycle through the city real late at night and listen to these playlist.
You can almost see the opening credits
I lived in Fort Lauderdale FL in the 80's, it was magic.
Hope your nostrils are ok bro

Brings me back to better times. Sort of bitter-sweet music for me. But better than lots of the junk created today
Impressive. Very nice... Let's see Paul Allen's 80's wallpaper.

Amazing work Karl. This music makes me poignant about a time long gone, but a future which will one done come to be. Weird.
Nice work White Bat Audio. Honestly felt like I was back the '80s (and it felt good).

Absolutely the best of the best, repairing tools in my job hasn't felt so powerful in months
GTA Vice City vibes in the art and sound, Mansion, Palm trees, sports cars, suit, it lacked the caliber 12.
You just can't stop, can you???

1950's and 1980s were amazing!
yes couldn't agree more you are right
Aggh yes...the 80's, back when life was good!
When American Psycho meet Sonny Crocket. Love it.
So far I have listened to this half way through and I am loving it. Takes me back to the 80's!!!
19:37 Legend song brings me somewhere happy
Stunning lambo concept !
I usually don't listen to synthwave, but this just started playing and I couldn't stop listening. Really stands out. Nice job
