I was born July 8th 1982. I would have been as little as that new born baby at the time. Even smaller considering I was born prematurely. I'm going to be 40 this year!
Humble and moral? I was around back then and that's a joke thing to say. Crack epidemic, AIDS epidemic, other drugs, and drug cartels, crime waves, all kinds of small proxy wars going on. It was just another decade in the existence of humanity....meaning, the same stuff. People were shitty to each other, and people were sometimes good to each other. Yes I love the pop culture of the time, but I'm not forgetting how dirty and crime ridden many of the cities were, especially in the northeast. New York has less crime today than in the 70s and 80s.
@@Mr.QuantumC0renah just phony nostalgia. All of the Problems WE have today are nothing spechial in the 80s domestic violence,punks, drug Junkies rude Teens, robber, skinheads,drunken peoples and more but back in time they have No billions of phones who recording all the problems.
Really cool, I'm a long islander and should have been born around this date, but I was born premature on April 27th 1982. I guess I couldn't wait to get out and experience the 80's, lol
A place and time when a man could put his arm around a woman's shoulder and she didn't scream "me too". No tattoos, blue hair, average weight, and they seem happy. Total 180 from today's young women.
tattoo'd people goths etc. were definitely a thing back then but even then they were pretty humble too if you watch old interviews. I wouldn't say there's a difference in appearances of people but the way people carry their personalities now are insane. there's an ingenuinity to it all I think.
Yep. When I was in high school in 1981 less than 10% of all females were overweight & probably less than 1% of any females were obese. Cellulite? LOL. Nope, not back then. Not only did they truly care about what they looked like but they made sure to keep it that way. Today.....LOL...holy Jesus. These poor girls as young as 17, packed w/ cellulite, overweight, etc. don't seem to understand that as you get older....you typically don't get better w/ age. Hence the reason that there are more women in the 21st century who are single, alone, over 30, on medication, in therapy or just outright mad at the world because they have no one in their lives, few prospects, etc. Sad....but so true. But hey.....body positive right? LOL
No fat, mentality unstable, miseryguts weirdos with rainbow hair and facial schrapnel that constantly say "fuck" and complain incessantly about everything, especially men like they are in abundance these days. I blame Universities for filling their heads with nonsense.
Wished I know then what I know now. Where's all the cell phones, laptops, ear buds etc etc? ( hint-we didn't need them. Why? Because people used to talk to each other) today's high tech will destroy the world eventually.
Interviewer: "What don't you like about Reagan?" Woman: "Ur-uh yeah, I don't like that Reagan is pro-nuclear, I liked it better when pro-nuclear Jimmy Carter was president because he was a Democrat and not a Republican. Thank you."
Things were still so much like the '70's at this time. Guys still had the puff hairdo's, including myself. What made guys shave their heads later on? By the way, the kid who put the microphone in his mouth should know that it's just a spit soaked sponge - eeeeek!!
@0:54 imagine the outrage today if a man dares to put his arms around a woman, his career would be over, all his sponsors dropped, he might face jailtime, fines like none other, someone, group or make believe organization will be offended...
It was better back then but trust me long island women always a pain in the you know what...perhaps worse now....but jt was the 80s of course it was better even if only 10 percent- still better
Was 17 that year. Can't believe its been 40 friggin years. Really wish I could go back to this better time.
Yes I totally agree with you, I would go back in an instant. Such fun times growing up back then this generation will never know.
Class of 2019 here
Wow the beginning of the end of our middle working class.
Thank you ❤
See, this is one of many novelties before cell phones. When someone had a video camera it was special.
Yep. In fact it was uncomfortable for most. Now it’s all egomaniacs and self absorbed self obsessed.

I love love love this clip so much! As a Staten Islander, I can relate.
Thank you so much for posting this!
Wow I work in glen cove so this is really interesting to see some familiar places!!!
Omg thank you for this
When people were a bit shy and embarrassed. Far more humble.
Thanks for the memories!
15 in 1982 . . . Yeah I want to go back and stay . . . Dam this new millennium shit . !!!
@John Bravo So did the public school system and giving babies 74 vaxx's to go to school.It messed peoples brains up.
It’s the pricing gun in the back pocket for me.
Nice the price is right microphone
Funny how they are so self conscience of the camera. Today you dont see that
Because it was rare for someone to have a video camera, it's was a bigger deal.
it's kinda charming 😍

How did they get Tony Danza interview?
OMG I turned 17 the very next day this was filmed. Were the cars really that old and outdated back then? Nothing but fun times
And that's when the shelves were fully stocked
really empty in Florida.. No one picking the crops like a ghost town....

Was that first woman at the car who didn’t like Reagan a young Edie Falco?( from The Sopranos) Her voice is one of kind.

Nothing has changed. People still repeat the same crap they hear off the same old media.
Little did they know that Reagan's way was going to win the Cold War...
