What do you most associate with the 80s? Let us know in the comments! Things You Forgot Were Awesome -> ruclips.net/p/PLmZTDWJGfRq0HTa66Qh0SbdMIUvJTiQqO
When i was younger I used to talk a bunch of shit about 80s music, but when i got out of high school i finally realized how great the music was that came from that era.
I remember listening to the local radio station with a cassette player trying to catch some of the top 40 songs!!! Recorded on cassette tapes!! Good times. Oh abd big hair for the girls. It was huge.
Grandma was not a woman to be @#$%ed with! If you thought _she_ looked like she'd been through a war zone, just try to imagine the state of the people she scuffled with to get those dolls! 😂
Your damn right I do! These things are a technology you may one day be happy some of us held on too. Never know what tomorrow holds. I wouldn't say it's comparable to something like a cb radio, or the telegraph, but who knows what people are going to wish was still around someday
VCRs weren't invented in the '80s, but that was when they took off on a mass scale, which meant that you no longer had to be in front of the TV at air time to watch a show, and you didn't have to go to the theater to watch a movie.
Most of those movies were usually on VHS six months after the theatrical release date. Priced for rental, unless it was a kid's movie, or a gigantic blockbuster.
i will never forget when i got my walkman for christmas in the late 80s. my grandparents made me wait to open it last because they knew i would be tuned out (and i was for hours)
I hated shoulder pads sooooooo much. Every time I had a new blouse the first thing I did when I got it home was cut out the shoulder pads. Standing up straight has almost the same effect, so cutting out the shoulder pads didn’t ruin the line of the clothing.
Oh man. I'm tripping on nostalgia and cringing at the same time. Leg warmers!!! 🤦♂️ Thanks for the videos team Mojo 💜😙🤗💕 Be safe and STAY blessed everybody 🙏
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Also, G.I. Joe, Star Wars, and Mr.T merchandises were very popular among kids in my neighborhood back in the mid-80s.
The 1980s- The A-Team, MacGyver, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Transformers, MTV, We Are the World by U. S. A. For Africa, Aerobics, Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The fun of Walkman is also about to make your own record tape, back then we don't have internet and things are far before digitalize, friends and family share their official records around the neighbourhood. Yes, the whole neighbourhood! Then the game changer is you can record the songs you love while listening to the radio, I cannot tell how many hours of us were stuck with the radio just because of that. It was extremely time consuming but the reward was great, and we cherish our record in a way it is hard to see nowadays, things right now come so effortlessly.
I was a tween/teenager in the 80's (ugh..just aged myself! LOL) and had leg warmers, slap braclets, a Cabbage Patch doll, and collected Garbage Pail Kids. I still to this day have my Garbage Pail Kids cards and my Cabbage Patch doll (including her birth certificate, first birthday card the company sent me, and she's in her original clothes too). Some other things were: oversized shirts, folding and rolling up the bottom of your jeans to make them tight around the ankles, long strands of fake pearl necklaces to double up, standing up a shirt collar and wearing a sweater over it, friendship pins to put on your white sneakers, high top sneakers, jelly shoes, BIG hair courtesy of the white can of Aqua Net, and of course the music! The 80's was bright, bold, and like totally tubular!!! 😆😜🤘👍
I remember being sooo excited in the early 1990s when Hasbro did a promotion to unload a bunch of their old unsold stock. I think my parents spend a whopping $20 to pick up like $70 MSRP worth of GI Joe toys. And of course it was all kinda underwhelming in the end.
Yay Pacman I'll never forget how I got into that game. It was through a disc that my sis had that was labeled Girls Just wanna Have fun and it was basically that on the disk. Used to play it on the older computers
Hard to believe Sony was still making the cassette walkman until 2010. By that time, most people had set aside their cassettes in favour of CD, then set aside their CDs in favour of MP3s, and were already starting to ditch their MP3 players in favour of loading their favourite songs onto their cell phones. That's right - even by 2010, the cassette walkman was an absolute dinosaur.
Pac-Man was the first video game I ever played, when my brother brought home an Atari. That kickstarted my love of video games! Slap bracelets are still around, but luckily, they seem to be better quality than those of my childhood. My daughter has one she bought at Claire's, and it's completely covered in a nice soft silicone. I check it often to make sure it's not starting to cut through the silicone, but it hasn't and she's had the bracelet for about a year.
I remember those things! I also remember having slap bracelets, wearing my hair to the side, and having strawberry shortcake doll. I didn't want a doll that could talk. Hated shoulder pads.
Madonna music and videos, Pacman, He-ra/ She-ra, Never Ending Story, Michael Jackson music and videos, big shoulder pads and lioness hair c/o Vidal Sassoon, aerobic outfits
I remember getting my first iPod . . . I was happy. I remember getting my first Walkman back in 1988 . . . I slept with it for the first month I had it. Till this day, It is a top five gift.
I remember playing TMNT for Nintendo on the floor on Saturday mornings after renting it from the Grocery Store. (That was a thing) In my TMNT pajamas, eating my TMNT cereal out of my TMNT bowl. Marketing was efficient 🐢🐢🐢🐢
What I don't miss from the 80s, big hair, too much make up, shoulder pads, gaudy jewelry and gaudy clothes....it was like going to high school with a bunch of circus clowns.
I don't know if this counts but I'm a 2000s kid and never knew what was in the 80s and 90s, until back in 2019 I discovered the Halloween commercials and those to me are the best I've been able to learn about Halloween back in the 80s and 90s and I think that's awesome. I've gonna watch them all again and again till Halloween this weekend and next year's Halloween.
Best: Sony Walkman! Yes!!! I loved mine so much! I remember making mixed tapes of my favorite music. Worst: shoulder pads! Ug, I hated those things. I have big shoulders as it is, so I looked like a linebacker! HAHA!
And it makes all too much sense. I imagine that they were slightly mis-printed or mis-cut tape measures that the tool companies would have otherwise tossed in the trash. The slap bracelet vendors got a good deal on spring steel and the tool manufacturers got money for trash.
Nintendo literally saved the video game industry with their "seal of quality", as much as people have joked about it being a dumb thing for literally 30+ years. The video game market was experiencing a serious crash in the early 1980s because Atari and Commodore exercised zero control over their platforms, and so there were so many absolute garbage games making it to store shelves for their consoles. Nintendo saved the entire concept of a "video game" by guaranteeing customers a certain level of quality for their money.
We used to call the mullet a 'hockey haircut' lol. Of course it spilled over to more than just hockey players. Guys wearing those black long sleeved t-shirts with a rock band like KISS or ACDC logo on the back had them too.
Thanks for making feel old lol. Teddy Ruxin use to terrify me. My cousin had one but it’s batteries were low. So it would randomly speak or blink and then stop and after chucky came out. I was not a fan of things talking lol
Oh yes Rubik's cubes. It seems to still be very popular because you got people like logic who still do it and other celebrities. I could never solve one when I was young but it was indeed engaging
So true! Panasonic somehow managed to get the trademark for the name "discman", so Sony just rolled with it and called their portable CD players "CD walkman". Sony just kept rolling with it, too. They started making MiniDisc players which they called "minidisc walkman", and then they made MP3 players which they called "network walkman".
I still remember short shorts for men and skimpy workout clothes were still popular. Checkout clips from the movie Perfect with John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. It's downright softcore porn. It's hilarious, but short shorts have made a comeback. Odd how things always come back.
New wave music, girls in Heels, Sony walkman, A-Team, Knight Rider, Fantasy movies, The Goonies, Back to The Future, and millions of other things I love as much. 1980s USA was the best.
I just re-started collecting garbage pail kids during the pandemic. FYI they still make them and R.L. Stein just released his 3rd garbage pail kids book.
I was born in 1980. I remember kids still being paddled in school, I road in the back of my dad's pickup all the time, I was a latch key kid. My parents gave me my first beer and my first smoke.
Born in 85 and yes I remember owning or seeing family and friends owning or using all these. I remember a friend of mine back in the late 80s owning their own Pac-Man arcade cabinet in their apartment. My older brother and I would always wanted to hang out with them to play.
The mullet was the mild boy next door cut in the 80's more on the wild side were punk cuts with Mohawks and spikes, often in bright florescent colors. Black leather jackets with lots of zippers and hundreds of safety pins. Yea safety pins everywhere.
I remember my 1st walkman, it was purple my favorite color. I miss it..!! Now most that stuff is coming back. Legg warmers, mullet & more..!! I just saw picture of Rihanna with a mullet.
I had no idea that Teddy Ruxpin cost $60 back in the 80s. That was a lot more money then today. The equivalent of $199.75 in today's money! Wtf! We were poor in Chicago when I was a kid so the fact that my mother got me one is friggin AMAZING! She was a single mom working 2 jobs. Even broke she found a way to get me that great toy 🥰
The Walkman brand is now a series of MP3's. I have one, and it plays my video game tracks in a consistent loop better than my i pod and phone! I can't deny its slogan that it's made for, and by, music lovers! Few people may know, but there are times when you want to listen to music when a smart phone would be a hassle.
I never own Sony Walkman. But damn, these are truly nostalgia. My dad might have own Sony Walkman since he was born in 1960, although i didn't talk about it though.
I was born in 1983. From 1990 until maybe 1997 I owned a few different "walkmans" from companies other than Sony. I eventually did pick up a real Sony at a yard sale. Even though it was old at the time, I was impressed at how good it was. I mean, playing cassettes is a certain sort of nostalgia all of its own, but using a walkman or deck with tape type selection and noise reduction is a whole new treat.

I am sad because today I have not had any subscribers
I am sad because today I have not had any subscribers
First thing that comes to mind sweatin' to the oldies. I had a VHS for that as well my grandmother had some weird collections I swear
Sony Walkman!
@@Tobyelperro you got 5k more than me
You definitely can't forget the music. That counts to 90% of the reason why I still love the 80s😂😂😂
Amen indeed🙏🙏🙏
You're definitely on the top tier of music taste.
Metal, oh yes
Yuck.
When i was younger I used to talk a bunch of shit about 80s music, but when i got out of high school i finally realized how great the music was that came from that era.
Big bangs ... I rocked mine in the 80s and some of the 90s
Smile really so how are you doing today?
I remember listening to the local radio station with a cassette player trying to catch some of the top 40 songs!!! Recorded on cassette tapes!! Good times. Oh abd big hair for the girls. It was huge.
I remember having to remove shoulder pads from clothing we purchased in the 80s.
I need bleach but I love the 80's and 90's
I did that too! When you already had big shoulders, it looked silly and was uncomfortable lol
Me too, I hated those things! I felt like a linebacker with them 🤣
@@dianalewandowski7421 HA! Yeah totally! 😆 my mom had the same problem, she would say “I look like a tiny quarter back!”
I remember my grandma coming out of Sears with two Cabbage Patch Dolls and her wig almost completely sideways. 😂
Grandma was not a woman to be @#$%ed with! If you thought _she_ looked like she'd been through a war zone, just try to imagine the state of the people she scuffled with to get those dolls! 😂
Don't get me started on the Cabbage Patch, Lawnmower and The Sprinkler dance moves since your talking about Cabbage Patch dolls.
OMG!!! 😆
@@Dee_Just_Dee I don't doubt it, my Grandma was a mess! 🤣
Lol
People probably now holding on to their walkman like "this is a piece of history that I cannot let go of"
Certain models sell for good money on eBay. New in the package ones can fetch hundreds.
Your damn right I do! These things are a technology you may one day be happy some of us held on too. Never know what tomorrow holds. I wouldn't say it's comparable to something like a cb radio, or the telegraph, but who knows what people are going to wish was still around someday
Yep, I still have a Walkman and discman!
VCRs weren't invented in the '80s, but that was when they took off on a mass scale, which meant that you no longer had to be in front of the TV at air time to watch a show, and you didn't have to go to the theater to watch a movie.
Most of those movies were usually on VHS six months after the theatrical release date. Priced for rental, unless it was a kid's movie, or a gigantic blockbuster.
*I miss the Walkman and buying records once a week* 😢
Columbia House and K-Tel I presume
I love your 80s playlist such glorious nostalgia 📺
walkman + 80's music, that a perfect combination
There wasn't much good '80's music. Maybe Whitesnake.
Big hair, fishnet gloves, bright neon everything, Mtv that played music videos
i will never forget when i got my walkman for christmas in the late 80s. my grandparents made me wait to open it last because they knew i would be tuned out (and i was for hours)
I hated shoulder pads sooooooo much. Every time I had a new blouse the first thing I did when I got it home was cut out the shoulder pads. Standing up straight has almost the same effect, so cutting out the shoulder pads didn’t ruin the line of the clothing.

Be safe and STAY blessed everybody

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Also, G.I. Joe, Star Wars, and Mr.T merchandises were very popular among kids in my neighborhood back in the mid-80s.
I sure miss going to Tower Records after school. Also Blockbuster Video with my friends. I wanna go back!!!!
I used to put an Eddie Murphy stand-up tape in my Teddy Ruxpin. I was 7. It was hilarious on multiple levels.
🤣
Holy crap, that's funny😂😂
I used a country comedian name of Jerry Clower He's clean and funny.
I wish I could live in the 80's and 90's the rest of my life.
Kids today will never know the struggles of trying to record your favorite song off the radio, just so you had your own playlist.
The 1980s-
The A-Team, MacGyver, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Transformers, MTV, We Are the World by U. S. A. For Africa, Aerobics, Star Trek: The Next Generation.
The fun of Walkman is also about to make your own record tape, back then we don't have internet and things are far before digitalize, friends and family share their official records around the neighbourhood.

The one decade I wouldn't mind being stuck in a Groundhog Day loop in.
I don't know...the early 90's were amazing...I'll meet you in the middle. 88' to 92'
Alright, Mojo! You've gotten a list right! This one is pretty awesome!

The biggest thing for me in the 80's? Cartoons based on merchandise. I bought so many Transformers and G.I. Joe figures my parents went insane, lol

Teddy Ruxpin with an Ozzy tape inside plus alcohol equals some good memories 😄
I knew I'd find someone else who did this!
Yay Pacman I'll never forget how I got into that game. It was through a disc that my sis had that was labeled Girls Just wanna Have fun and it was basically that on the disk. Used to play it on the older computers
I ENJOYED THE THUMBNAIL!
I remember these. Damn I'm old.
Wow. I miss the old day

Bad ones.

In never looked as good on Atari 2600 as it did on the arcade game. I spent a ridiculous amount of money on Ms. Pac man!
NICE THUMBNAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shoulder pads and hairspray.
Being a free-range kid.
Roller-rinks.
ETA: The music was really good (in my opinion).
I miss roller rinks!
80's and early 90's movies were hands down the best thing about being a kid in that era! Nothing like going to the video store on a Friday night.
And to be able to get a movie that was actually worth watching.
The 80s will forever be my favourite decade
Best ever
I LOOOVE Mullets :P
I had a cabbage patch kid doll and i hated ittttt lol
I still love leg warmers :p
Gosh i loved the music from the 80s!
Great vid!!
I live in Dublin, Ireland and in the 80s there was small cuddly toys called Monchichi. I think they were a French toy.
They were, I had a few of them 😄 It was sold in a lot of countries
I remember Monchichi
Miss those leg warmers. I get leg cramps!
I still have my panasonic walkman from when I was 14. I'm 38 now and yes, it still works. And I still love it.
Shoulder pads, the incredible hairdos and the walkman came to MY mind. And “slime“ (toy) was really poular (though originating mid 70s)!
I remember those things! I also remember having slap bracelets, wearing my hair to the side, and having strawberry shortcake doll. I didn't want a doll that could talk. Hated shoulder pads.
My daughter has slap bracelets and we definitely have a Rubik's Cube in the house (I'm a 90's kid) 😂
Me too! I was born in 87 while I appreciate a lot of 80s thing I grew up in the morning 90s another great decade!!
Nick at Nite Which Was First Aired In 1985 with 1950's sitcoms
I loved putting speed metal, and thrash tapes in teddy🤣🤣🤣

My college professor has been rocking Mullets his whole life till today. dude a mechanical engineer

Best: Sony Walkman! Yes!!! I loved mine so much! I remember making mixed tapes of my favorite music. Worst: shoulder pads! Ug, I hated those things. I have big shoulders as it is, so I looked like a linebacker! HAHA!
hey👋
whenever a video has 80's on the title it's a guarantee success.. no matter what
If you take a slap bracelet apart (especially the cheap ones), there's a good chance its just a portion of a tape measure
And it makes all too much sense. I imagine that they were slightly mis-printed or mis-cut tape measures that the tool companies would have otherwise tossed in the trash. The slap bracelet vendors got a good deal on spring steel and the tool manufacturers got money for trash.
NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) became so popular back in the mid ‘80s.
Nintendo literally saved the video game industry with their "seal of quality", as much as people have joked about it being a dumb thing for literally 30+ years. The video game market was experiencing a serious crash in the early 1980s because Atari and Commodore exercised zero control over their platforms, and so there were so many absolute garbage games making it to store shelves for their consoles.

I sure miss the 80s. Best times of my LIFE
Cabbage patch kids. I still have mine with a few outfits:)
Arcades where popular in the 80s
The man-bun is the mullet of the millennials.
And generation Z
The mallet is back! Everyone at my gym has one including some of the ladies!! The 80s are back baby!!
We used to call the mullet a 'hockey haircut' lol. Of course it spilled over to more than just hockey players. Guys wearing those black long sleeved t-shirts with a rock band like KISS or ACDC logo on the back had them too.
You forgot the fad over Leotards in the 80s.
And thong leotards at that.
I remember wanting a Walkman so bad 🤣
hey👋
Thanks for making feel old lol. Teddy Ruxin use to terrify me. My cousin had one but it’s batteries were low. So it would randomly speak or blink and then stop and after chucky came out. I was not a fan of things talking lol
It could be worse. Children of the late 1990s had Furby. And those Furbies were absolutely terrifying when they glitched... and most of them did.
Oh yes Rubik's cubes. It seems to still be very popular because you got people like logic who still do it and other celebrities. I could never solve one when I was young but it was indeed engaging
I can see Mullets coming back in style.
9:52 In fact, the Walkman name lives through digital portable media players still sold by Sony.
So true! Panasonic somehow managed to get the trademark for the name "discman", so Sony just rolled with it and called their portable CD players "CD walkman". Sony just kept rolling with it, too. They started making MiniDisc players which they called "minidisc walkman", and then they made MP3 players which they called "network walkman".
I still remember short shorts for men and skimpy workout clothes were still popular. Checkout clips from the movie Perfect with John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. It's downright softcore porn. It's hilarious, but short shorts have made a comeback. Odd how things always come back.
There was also crack that was very popular in the 80s from what I heard.
New wave music, girls in Heels, Sony walkman, A-Team, Knight Rider, Fantasy movies, The Goonies, Back to The Future, and millions of other things I love as much. 1980s USA was the best.
I just re-started collecting garbage pail kids during the pandemic. FYI they still make them and R.L. Stein just released his 3rd garbage pail kids book.
This was my decade!
You guys forgot afro gel!

Saturday Morning cartoons and MTV music rock the generation in my youth.
the Cabbage Patch kids thing was like a huge version of the Royal Rumble and everyone was literally throwing hands and more
I’m so happy I found this because today at school it’s 80s day and I have to dress up like the 80s or just like act like somebody in the 80s
The mullet was the mild boy next door cut in the 80's more on the wild side were punk cuts with Mohawks and spikes, often in bright florescent colors. Black leather jackets with lots of zippers and hundreds of safety pins. Yea safety pins everywhere.
Do one about the 70's
I remember my 1st walkman, it was purple my favorite color. I miss it..!! Now most that stuff is coming back. Legg warmers, mullet & more..!! I just saw picture of Rihanna with a mullet.
# 1 ACTUAL GOOD MUSIC
Nah, not really.
I think it's dope Oprah sat with the crowd

Angela on Who's the Boss sure made shoulder pads a signature of her look too.

I can't deny its slogan that it's made for, and by, music lovers! Few people may know, but there are times when you want to listen to music when a smart phone would be a hassle.
When they do the 90s list it'll be everything that's popular now
< hops online to find some leg warmers and slap bracelets > oh how I missed thee.
Smile and how are you doing today?

I had a Teddy Ruxpin when I was a kid, if you put a Guns N Roses tape in him he seems like he's possessed.
I would put Megadeth tapes in my Teddy Rukspin and he would turn into Teddy Mustaine.
