Just amazing! My daughter was shocked to see pictures of me wearing black eyeliner, lipstick, paisley shirts, dark blazers, brooches, black pants, and pointy nana shoes. I was a club hound. Now, I wear suites and ties, and own an attorney service. I miss those days. The 80's were the best time to be young.
Can you point the time ( min / sec )? Also.exactly what song was being played esp in the first 5 mins? Would you remember as I think this clip is being used for various 80's song!!
I'm going to be 54 this year. I was a teenager in the 80s and I don't regret it at all. Whenever I get together with my friends from that time, we remember things we did. The parties were the best...
@kjererrt7804 no drugs, lots of coffee. Just dressing up to dance for hours. I remember a coffee shop in southern CA that we would go to and drink tons of coffee before hitting the metro club. I remember .25 cents per cup. Still drink coffee and workout to those 80's tunes. 80's and early 90's music helps the mood while house cleaning. Be blessed 🙌
@Dystopiancircus true. Couldn't help but love the nostalgia. Love it! Also love the old Saturday morning cartoons with bumpers. Awesome people upload those. Thankful for the fun reminders.
We all just felt so free even if life was hard sometimes. Thank you 1984 for all my glorious memories of youth - the music, the dancing, the fashion, the art, the freedom and the cheap rent. lol Love my Bay Area❤
I still love the 80s more than the 90s. Maybe because the 90s got a little dark and of course I went with that dark period. It wasn't a very positive time. Pretty sad. I just think of all the great artists in the grunge genre who struggled and eventually died. I loved all those bands but man lots of bad energy...
@@dystopian2153 True. I think most of it was because of the drug culture in music and the Pacific NW where so many of the 90s bands got their start. Most of the musician had already gotten on hard drugs right as they blew up and there was an element of darkness to a lot of the different genres. I think most of it was misdirected anger too that made it so sketchy. But the optimism from the later 80s was still there, at least on the street and in other entertainment. I went with some of the darkness too but luckily I got the hell away from my hometown and it changed my perspective. But yeah, I definitely miss a lot of it. But hey. At least we were there for it!!
Notice when they realize the camera is on them no fish lips? No kiss and peace sign? Just a smile. Notice how the dance is just them feeling the music? Not a choreographed TikTok.
@@stonebaxter Peace sign comes much earlier than than 60s. I believe it was Winston Churchill era. World war I or world war II and People of Japan started using it in photos.
Today everyone is longing for individualism but all have the same haircuts and cloth. Back then 100 people had 100 different styles. What an exciting time back in the 80s!
Lol in this video alone I see the same haircut with the long bang and the sides up like devil horns at least 4 different times. Don’t delude yourself into thinking you were so original and never followed trends just cuz it was your generation.
U are literally mentioning 4 people...I see no relevant point in what u say..the others have all very unique styles (and maybe those girls were a group of friends?)@@TheSilentBattle...and obviously there were trends (more than one and in any case everyone tried to find their own individuality... today those of my generation try to do everything to conform, even if they will never admit it)
@@vertserc453 yes I agree with you. My point is the youth is always trying to conform. Some decades just have better trends than others. But you’re right that todays youth is especially lazy at coming up with anything other than what their told to act, do or say on TikTok
If you didn't experience the 80s, you have no idea what you missed! The 80s was the best decade in the history of decades before and after. The best movies, music, cartoons, dressing style and look. Life was amazing!
As a kid back in the 80s I remember my parents listening to the oldies on the radio. Hearing them talk about the 1950s back then might as well have been 100 years ago as far as I was concerned. Now here I am and it’s me looking back at the 1980s with the same nostalgia only it doesn’t seem like 100 years ago. Seems like yesterday. Hard to believe but I’m very thankful I grew up when I did and thank you for keeping these memories of the greatest decade alive.
I loved the 80s. That was the disco scene, then there was the rocker scene and growing, Hangover from the punk mod and rocker scene. Things were hard, they got better, but it was a learning curve and a brilliant time, we reinvented ourselves because we had to and it was brilliant!! All the best from Scotland!
Im a 80s kid grew up in the best decade 💯 loved every minute best music an hair styles , loved just being with close friends no phones or websites just , riding bikes, skate boards , listening to or dancing to music best times best decade 80s 😁❤️👏🏽
As a 24 year old, it is. My dad is apart of y’all’s generation and growing up he exposed me to sooo many things of the 80s (thank god) so much that when I went to high school I had no problem dressing how I wanted and didn’t care what others thought about me 😂 yall were a great generation!!
You guys should do Nostalgia Night, it's a holliday in my country on the night before independence day (so you don't have to go to work the next day). All night clubs do a 70s, 80s, or 90s theme night and most don't let people under 40/50/60 in, so at least once a year peole can meet with their old school friends and go party like you're in their 20s again without feeling akward about running into people your kid's age. Even some people in their 80s who started the tradition in the late 70s keep going to 60s parties
God, dancing with cigarettes! I dont know how many times I ran into one, or someone ran into mine!!😮. I lived at dance clubs in the 80’s. I miss this so much! Im glad these videos exist!!
It blows my mind that these pre-internet tapes were preserved and made it to you tube. I was able to see some old friends in one of the non-remastered versions. What a mind trip.

Its bland because when people try to have their own style and be “unique” society shuts them down and looks at them ugly. Telling them to be like celebs of today who are mostly plastic and fake
Yep '83 grad as well. No way to convey how different it felt to be alive and young then. Best decade ever and just like that, in a blink of the eye, it was over and will never happen again. No way. Things weren't perfect but they were better.

Ahh the 80s. When you went out you had a good time with no phone bothering or distracting you. We actually talked to each other.
We still do. If you don't than that's really on you. I just went for a 5 hour walk with a friend (in Berlin) and am now chilling on youtube. There were so many people outside, sitting on the riverside laughing, talking, having fun. Every single café, bar was absolutely packed, every bench was taken. Basically everyone left their home. It's not the times, you live it, it's really just you. If you miss it... do something about it.
Wonderful footage. What strikes me is that everyone is at their peak here. They would never lookor feel any better. My time was about a decade later and there's often a temptation to look back and cringe at how you looked back then. I don't think these people need worry about that. They look fabulous.
God I miss this so much. Everyone had their own unique style and didn't look like carbon copies of fakeness like they do now. No horrid cellphones in everyone's hands, just living in the moment. Nothing will ever be like this again. 😥😞
@@LostwaveObsession Unfortunately I lived in a very small southern town in the US so unless I traveled with friends to a nearby city that had clubs like this, I didn't go much. But I cherish the times I was able to go to places like this so much.
Seeing it on here and actually getting to live through it, man, I'd give anything to go back again and stay there. The 80's were the best decade ever! What a wonderful time to be young and carefree!
To some people today this might look a bit pretentious - strange outfits, big hair, girls all gussied up, but it wasn't at all. It was a very fun, welcoming, positive time. People did their own thing, not try to imitate, or one-up each other. If you did, it was with your friends, and fun we'd laugh at. I was young, shy, and honestly barely went to any clubs like this, but the times I did it was such a great experience.
My father was born in the 1960s. 80s was his era. He told me about his time while showing pictures when he was in his 20s. Best years of his life. People back then were much happier. Now i am in my 20s, i wish i could live in that era.
@@galwaytribesman9289 who died and made you Dictator? People (lars anderson) allowed their opinions and statements . Did your feelings get hurt because you didn't experience this awesome era? And have your eyes glued to ya phone. Lol
@MrJoseoz The fuck you on about. I was born in 73. I'm stating facts. I hear this shit all the time people complaining about people being stuck in phones. Phones have given us a lot of good too and you are using your phone to make your statement so don't be a hypocrite.
Ich war 22 Jahre diese Zeit werde ich niemals vergessen damals lebte ich in Berlin und ich ging jedes Wochenende mit Freunden Tanzen und feiern die Nächte endeten um 6 morgen danach ging es Frühstücken wirklich nee geile Zeit danke fürs hochladen
back when people went out at night to have fun, everyone got along with each other and everyone was there to just have a great time, not like today where is all so fake and everyone wants to fight everyone, the 80's where the best times and the best people!
Dude I'm about to out of my mind. Everyone has their own style. Each fckn person has its own unique style and it's so fckn original. It's amazing. All em re killing it. This era will never come again. Damn.
I’m 60 next year. From 1983 to 1986 (before I moved abroad for 20 odd years - and those were different good times) every Thursday night in London I’d go to the Hippodrome on Leicester Square and then onto Stringfellows and would roll out of bed the next day, scrub up, and head off for the day to start again the next night at a different club. Good days.
When you're young ya can do it every day & not feel it. Now I'm older a hangover can last 3 days :) What was Stringfellows like? The man himself always struck me as a bit of a lecherous creep but his club was allegedly one of the best in London at that time.
Best damn decade ever !!!! Hands down . I was 10 , lol my aunt shut me up when she took me to Fedco in 1986 to purchase “ The legend of Zelda” gold cartridge Nintendo 8 bit. She was 25 and she had to babysit my azz lol. She dropped me off at the neighbors house instead and went to Stratus club. I wasn’t mad lol , cuz I had Zelda
Your Aunt was Very Cool. " l got my little nephew here with me, babysitting; but l wanna Disco Down; HOW? " " I KNOW; buy that game he's on about and drop him at Vicky's "....TAXI...
Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful I can just say it’s all good that is beautiful. We live in that era 80s on 54 and it was just beautiful.
This was exactly my time, my music, style and scene. In Chicago it we danced at Medusa’s on the north side. Some of the best memories of my life!! Now go out and live yours!
Born in 1971, Graduated in 1989. I remember these times like they were ten years ago! It's funny how I can identify so much with some these people...I remember the music, the sweat, the "runner's/dancer's high". Sneaking into some clubs, getting your buzz on, the friends, the after-parties..the choice music. No internet, no cell phones, just good people, fun and release!! Thanks for posting this my friend! These were the best times of my life! No regrets, ever!! 🤩💜💕💟🤙
I love watching these videos i always wonder where are these people now and what lives did they live etc etc It can get emotional just thinking about back in the day
FUCK! I would have given ANYTHING to have gone there back in the day! And I say that as someone who fully experienced two clubbing eras - the 80s and the 90s! Brilliant!
Ah muy bellos recuerdos de esa época yo tenía entre 18 a los 22 disfrutábamos mucho ir a los party’s y clubs con hermana primas y amigas cercanas fue una época inolvidable mi esposo en ese entonces era DJ
Вы не одни такие ,Мы тоже любим 80-90г. Лучшие хотя у нас они были тяжелые , особенно 90г. Но это лучшая , музыка , столько энергии, драйва, жизнь кипела, бурлила, всем Добра!!!!
Awesome , I had a wicked time in the 80s. Fantastic music and my black blazer with a white shirt done right up with my black cowboy boots on , lol. No decade will ever touch the 80s...graduated in 86
I was 15 through 24 through the 80s... How llucky I was.A previous poster said it best I never met any of those people but I feel like I know them all! Best times of my life. It was so awesome, and I am so grateful for being a part of the last uncomplicated decade.
They were genuinely happier. People in the 80s actually lived and had a great fucking time. I wish I could have experienced these times. I hate how life is today. Too much technology and people can’t even live in the moment like these people did
@Yungrexy not to all of us, one of my buddies died from liver cancer from too much alcohol and another committed suicide after his kid and wife died, we were all 80s generation, times were a lot harder back then
I went to this club back in 1986 and it was super fun. I can't say it was more fun than the regular Club I used to go to in my own Hometown. Now that I think about it I can't believe how careless I was to have met some guys in Los Angeles and then drove them all the way to San Diego to go to this club the next night. These years were the best years of my life and I wish I could replay them again and appreciate how great they were.
I was born 83 and always felt a connection to this era mid to late 80s was truly the start of modern club culture when that synth sound started to come in the disco era of the 70s was amazing but it wasn't as forward-thinking when it came to fashion and music I love the black and white and the crazy hairstyles these people paved the way for the rave revolution that changed everything from 89 onwards.
Peeeeerfect song for this! Great times. Those of us who got to live in the 80’s as youth were so lucky. Imagine being one of these kids onky to come across this video as a low older adult and seeing yourself back then. Hell yeah!
For those that don’t know, Stratus was an under 21 club, along with Distillery they were some of our favorites. If you travelled south of the boarder, we went to Tequlia Sunrise on Wednesday nights. By 86-87 all of these kids would have been two to three years younger than our crowd. We had progressed to 21+ clubs, Emerald City, Manikin, Piranha Room. These peeps are my peeps though, we danced the night away every chance we got! Love the video!
This footage looks great and so clean for its age. I would’ve been 16/17 at this time, but wasn’t able to go to clubs yet. Got my dancing in at all the concerts I went to instead. But this is so fun to watch and remember how many different styles there were.
The beautiful one at 1:13...you are the memories of these amazing days...I was stationed in West Germany and you were...are...the dream indeed. What an angel.
Yup! We would go and there were the the super cool regulars we knew but most everyone was pretty likeable back then at these clubs. I keep looking for myself and my friends who were twins and we usually went together. Fun times, beach day and party nite, Mission Beach to Torrey Pines, Valhalla and Granite Hills all us hanging out, so many good times. We sure did party back then.
I am around the same age now done all this in the uk, but it makes you wonder what these beautiful people are doing now, id even consider going to a stratus 86/87 reunion 8f they could do this ? all the way from the uk because this has stirred memories in me god bless all
Good gods this is absolutely glorious. This was a time when I wish I wasn't a little kid but actually old enough for this to be my own memory, which is why now at 41 I listen to synthwave, retro, and synthpop. At least my brain can take me their even though my body wasn't. 💔
I wasn't old enough to go clubbing then (just 14) but I remember my older sibs going most weekends and being super jealous of them. I would have loved going. By the time I was old enough the whole vibe had changed. It wasn't the same.

Didn’t realise how glorious we were.
Uh, They are not 80's Babies
God I miss this so much. Everyone had their own unique style and didn't look like carbon copies of fakeness like they do now. No horrid cellphones in everyone's hands, just living in the moment. Nothing will ever be like this again. 😥😞
We were out in Nottingham a lot around this time, great clubbing nights, and Coventry too. We took disposable cameras with us!
@@LostwaveObsession Unfortunately I lived in a very small southern town in the US so unless I traveled with friends to a nearby city that had clubs like this, I didn't go much. But I cherish the times I was able to go to places like this so much.
Truth! So thankful I was able to grow up in the before times.
Well get out and have a dance….don’t let yourself or anyone else put you off👍😀✌️
@@LostwaveObsession Back those days we were doing the same as students over in Derby
Best time of my life and I still play the eighties sounds in the car.
Keep rocking brother, I was there also.👍👍
Seeing it on here and actually getting to live through it, man, I'd give anything to go back again and stay there. The 80's were the best decade ever! What a wonderful time to be young and carefree!
To some people today this might look a bit pretentious - strange outfits, big hair, girls all gussied up, but it wasn't at all. It was a very fun, welcoming, positive time. People did their own thing, not try to imitate, or one-up each other. If you did, it was with your friends, and fun we'd laugh at. I was young, shy, and honestly barely went to any clubs like this, but the times I did it was such a great experience.
we dressed back then ! Style was impeccable
My father was born in the 1960s. 80s was his era. He told me about his time while showing pictures when he was in his 20s. Best years of his life. People back then were much happier. Now i am in my 20s, i wish i could live in that era.
1980's.....enjoying youth and life.
2020's....taking selfies and staring at their phones.
I feel sorry for todays youth.
Now about half the crowd would be filming on their phones lol
They have everything and possess nothing
If there were phones in the 80s it would have been the exact same thing so stop talking shite it is what it is.
@@galwaytribesman9289 who died and made you Dictator? People (lars anderson) allowed their opinions and statements . Did your feelings get hurt because you didn't experience this awesome era? And have your eyes glued to ya phone. Lol
@MrJoseoz The fuck you on about. I was born in 73. I'm stating facts. I hear this shit all the time people complaining about people being stuck in phones. Phones have given us a lot of good too and you are using your phone to make your statement so don't be a hypocrite.
Man did we have creativity, style, we where unique, we where us.
Ich war 22 Jahre diese Zeit werde ich niemals vergessen damals lebte ich in Berlin und ich ging jedes Wochenende mit Freunden Tanzen und feiern die Nächte endeten um 6 morgen danach ging es Frühstücken wirklich nee geile Zeit danke fürs hochladen
back when people went out at night to have fun, everyone got along with each other and everyone was there to just have a great time, not like today where is all so fake and everyone wants to fight everyone, the 80's where the best times and the best people!
the phone is not a friend.
Oh yeah, there were certainly no fights in the 80s... 🤭
When it was cool to be happy.
loose fit was the hit.
And shy
Dude I'm about to out of my mind. Everyone has their own style. Each fckn person has its own unique style and it's so fckn original. It's amazing. All em re killing it.
This era will never come again. Damn.
Yeah. I miss the days before social media and everybody striving to be the same :|
@Yungrexy you mean Different; don't you ?
I’m 60 next year. From 1983 to 1986 (before I moved abroad for 20 odd years - and those were different good times) every Thursday night in London I’d go to the Hippodrome on Leicester Square and then onto Stringfellows and would roll out of bed the next day, scrub up, and head off for the day to start again the next night at a different club. Good days.
When you're young ya can do it every day & not feel it. Now I'm older a hangover can last 3 days :)
What was Stringfellows like? The man himself always struck me as a bit of a lecherous creep but his club was allegedly one of the best in London at that time.
Thursdays in High st. Ken., Bhrams & list, Lycium ,Covent Garden...
Best damn decade ever !!!! Hands down . I was 10 , lol my aunt shut me up when she took me to Fedco in 1986 to purchase “ The legend of Zelda” gold cartridge Nintendo 8 bit. She was 25 and she had to babysit my azz lol. She dropped me off at the neighbors house instead and went to Stratus club. I wasn’t mad lol , cuz I had Zelda
Fedco in So Cal. I remember it well. Graduated from Hollywood High in 1986 and listened to KROQ. Best times ever.
I was 10 too from SD!!❤
Your Aunt was Very Cool. " l got my little nephew here with me, babysitting; but l wanna Disco Down; HOW? " " I KNOW; buy that game he's on about and drop him at Vicky's "....TAXI...
Beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful I can just say it’s all good that is beautiful. We live in that era 80s on 54 and it was just beautiful.
Ah yes, I was 23 back then and looked forward to the weekends to hang out in places just like this one!!
NO CELL PHONES! It was great.
And few guns and gun freaks.
what a time to be alive absolutely beautiful expressions of individuality and joy and the music what more can i say !!
*WHAT GREAT YEARS & GREATER MUSIC* 💜
This was exactly my time, my music, style and scene.
In Chicago it we danced at Medusa’s on the north side. Some of the best memories of my life!!
Now go out and live yours!
Born in 1971, Graduated in 1989. I remember these times like they were ten years ago! It's funny how I can identify so much with some these people...I remember the music, the sweat, the "runner's/dancer's high". Sneaking into some clubs, getting your buzz on, the friends, the after-parties..the choice music. No internet, no cell phones, just good people, fun and release!! Thanks for posting this my friend! These were the best times of my life! No regrets, ever!! 🤩💜💕💟🤙
PERFECT MUSIC TO THE CLUB SCENE..... GOTH, NEW WAVE, PUNK, POP AND GLAM ROCK ALL REPRESENTED AT THIS CLUB.... YOU REACHED THE "INNER SANCTUM"
Such great memories in one vid. Goth, Jocks, Preppies and nerds all coming together to have fun. Really miss the Unity we all shared together.
I love watching these videos i always wonder where are these people now and what lives did they live etc etc
It can get emotional just thinking about back in the day
We were so lucky. Talk about having the best of all worlds. We saw the 70s, 80s and 90s. Incredible music in all these eras.
In 1986, I was 19 years old and in my 2nd year in college. This was every weekend. Boy do I miss those days.
We were so happy! We would just get out there and dance our butts off! We had it all…The 80’s will never die
The 80s and the 90s the best decades. Natural and unique people
The eighties and early to mid nineties were the greatest time to be alive.
The 80s was all about getting along and having fun. It was a wonderful time to be alive. ❤
No cellphones..only genuine people dancing all night long. I miss you so much 80's
Everyone could express themselves and enjoy it without being judged ❤ this era, blessed to grow up in this ❤️❤️❤️
FUCK! I would have given ANYTHING to have gone there back in the day! And I say that as someone who fully experienced two clubbing eras - the 80s and the 90s! Brilliant!
Por que no llegaste a ir en esa epoca? Yo naci casi en el 2000 y si hubiera aprovechado si viviera en la epoca que tuu
Ah muy bellos recuerdos de esa época yo tenía entre 18 a los 22 disfrutábamos mucho ir a los party’s y clubs con hermana primas y amigas cercanas fue una época inolvidable mi esposo en ese entonces era DJ
@@EneidaCruz-x7e Un tiempo fantástico 😊
@@yorgeliscaseiros yo estaba viviendo en Inglaterra
I would love to see people tagged on this if they are recognised. I'd love to hear their memories of these times.
That's what I am hoping will happen in time... These people are only in their late 40's at this stage so the vast majority should still be with us.
@@Yungrexy Late 40's? Nope. They are all over 50. I live where this came from and many people have been identified.
@@clvrswine Fair enough, I was out by a couple of years! 18-21 in 1987 = 51-54 in 2020... They are all still relatively young was my point :)
@@Yungrexy Actually most are in their early to mid 50s.
@@2growdaily181 I corrected myself in the post above yours... Is my reply to ClvrSwine not visable?
Class of 1986.
Forever grateful.
Вы не одни такие ,Мы тоже любим 80-90г. Лучшие хотя у нас они были тяжелые , особенно 90г. Но это лучшая , музыка , столько энергии, драйва, жизнь кипела, бурлила, всем Добра!!!!
no smartphones. Just pure Enjoyment !
Awesome , I had a wicked time in the 80s. Fantastic music and my black blazer with a white shirt done right up with my black cowboy boots on , lol. No decade will ever touch the 80s...graduated in 86
I was 15 through 24 through the 80s... How llucky I was.A previous poster said it best I never met any of those people but I feel like I know them all! Best times of my life. It was so awesome, and I am so grateful for being a part of the last uncomplicated decade.
Is it me or do people look genuinely happier?
They were genuinely happier. People in the 80s actually lived and had a great fucking time. I wish I could have experienced these times. I hate how life is today. Too much technology and people can’t even live in the moment like these people did
@@Mds169same, im 21 and i wish i grew up in the 80s. I hate it that i wasnt born in that timeline
We were!!
They were genuinely more happy !
@@Mds169 too many genders as well.
God, how I miss those days. I’m 50 now 😢
Happens to us all unfortunately, just turned 51 myself.
Glad to have grown up when the music was still good though.
@Yungrexy not to all of us, one of my buddies died from liver cancer from too much alcohol and another committed suicide after his kid and wife died, we were all 80s generation, times were a lot harder back then
I went to this club back in 1986 and it was super fun. I can't say it was more fun than the regular Club I used to go to in my own Hometown. Now that I think about it I can't believe how careless I was to have met some guys in Los Angeles and then drove them all the way to San Diego to go to this club the next night. These years were the best years of my life and I wish I could replay them again and appreciate how great they were.
And then down to TJ and then back to LA.
Dancing nights of the weekends of the 1988 to 89 recall those days yes! Miss Club Image!
I was born 83 and always felt a connection to this era mid to late 80s was truly the start of modern club culture when that synth sound started to come in the disco era of the 70s was amazing but it wasn't as forward-thinking when it came to fashion and music I love the black and white and the crazy hairstyles these people paved the way for the rave revolution that changed everything from 89 onwards.
OMG!! You’re killin me with this! TAKE ME BACK!!! 80s!!!!!
Peeeeerfect song for this! Great times. Those of us who got to live in the 80’s as youth were so lucky. Imagine being one of these kids onky to come across this video as a low older adult and seeing yourself back then. Hell yeah!
My new hobby is to watch all these videos and remembering all the good times 😎
Nostalgia is a powerful thing. God I miss the 80s.
me too Id go back there in a heartbeat
Love this and people in the 80s literally had the best bodies too and everyone got along ❤❤👏🏼👏🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Hands down the best decade ever!
I would have loved to experiance this era but was only a child in the 80s. It looked such a happy time. Good video love the music. 👍💖🤩
I agree, wish I could go back as well. The music was pumping, styles were funky, & things were popping. Dancing meant something.
These were truly fun days. So sorry for people in 2024 w no clubs to go dancing on a Saturday night.
Those were the best 2 years of my teen life. We all had our own way of mastering hair mousse and hair spray!
For those that don’t know, Stratus was an under 21 club, along with Distillery they were some of our favorites. If you travelled south of the boarder, we went to Tequlia Sunrise on Wednesday nights. By 86-87 all of these kids would have been two to three years younger than our crowd. We had progressed to 21+ clubs, Emerald City, Manikin, Piranha Room. These peeps are my peeps though, we danced the night away every chance we got! Love the video!
That means they're very close to my age, if still around. What's weird is I feel about the same, personality the same, etc.
This footage looks great and so clean for its age. I would’ve been 16/17 at this time, but wasn’t able to go to clubs yet. Got my dancing in at all the concerts I went to instead. But this is so fun to watch and remember how many different styles there were.
This looks like it was an all ages club.
You must've gone to a LOT of concerts !!!
Same age as you. We had mainly school dances in Kentucky. Not so much new wave like this.
@@Kenistyless concerts were a lot cheaper back then!
@@marshas.9218 Cool...
Thank you, 80s and video cams! And some of the absolute best times and music!
Thx for this channel! We need to bring back dance clubs everywhere like this. Love "Jolene" by Strawberry Shortcake.
The 80's we miss you.
The beautiful one at 1:13...you are the memories of these amazing days...I was stationed in West Germany and you were...are...the dream indeed. What an angel.
I graduated 85 and dancing in Lansing, Mi at Wayside. We would go in limos at times. Danced and dressed this way and more.
No cell phones and we were so happy!!
Best times ever
I love the 80s. What a great time to be a teenager.
Yup! We would go and there were the the super cool regulars we knew but most everyone was pretty likeable back then at these clubs. I keep looking for myself and my friends who were twins and we usually went together. Fun times, beach day and party nite, Mission Beach to Torrey Pines, Valhalla and Granite Hills all us hanging out, so many good times. We sure did party back then.
The 80s were a blast! Sometimes I wish that I could go back!
To go back to the 80s surely you just need to find a *GMC Delorean* and get it up to 88 MPH :p
!!! Been wondering WHERE all those footages came from i've been seeing on RUclips...thx so much for the info!!!
Used to drive to Santa Monica to the 18 and up clubs..oh such fun!!
Oh this takes me back and gives me all the amazing nostalgic feels. Clubbing all weekend and blind pigs in the early morning.
I am around the same age now done all this in the uk, but it makes you wonder what these beautiful people are doing now, id even consider going to a stratus 86/87 reunion 8f they could do this ? all the way from the uk because this has stirred memories in me god bless all
What a biutofull style we have in the 80s.Hairstyles clothing and dance style.And the girls was 🎉🎉🎉 ahhhhh biutofull 80s i remember you❤❤❤ 🙌🙌 thanks.
80s hair was iconic. I do miss that look (and the music) - although I'm a child of the 50s and 60s.
Good gods this is absolutely glorious. This was a time when I wish I wasn't a little kid but actually old enough for this to be my own memory, which is why now at 41 I listen to synthwave, retro, and synthpop. At least my brain can take me their even though my body wasn't. 💔
I am 42 now i do remember the 80s well i remember 1985-1989 mostly
It really was a wonderful time to be young. Everyone fit in. Everyone had fun. Thanks for keeping this alive, in your own way.
Same here I'm 41 too.
I wasn't old enough to go clubbing then (just 14) but I remember my older sibs going most weekends and being super jealous of them. I would have loved going. By the time I was old enough the whole vibe had changed. It wasn't the same.
