You had to be There…

The 80s and the 90s were the golden ages

Reason 1,723 why I will never trust AI lol

It definitely has a hard time spelling.

The big push for AI was to help humans yet it can’t even recognize a simple spelling mistake in its own creation? Or does it do this purposely?

"I grew up in the 1970s, and we were tougher!" In the 1980s, I was in the US Army!"

They are talking about the 1970’s.

That was a 70's station wagon.

The 70’s were even better!!!!

Odd song choice. Chasing Cars? Why not an iconic 80s song like “Don’t You Forget About Me” or “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. Plus pay phones didn’t look like this.

No seat belts required for kids? That off by a few decades.

😁

Bazooka gum for 2 cents with bazooka joe comics inside. Arcade games in the 7-11. Comic book racks. All kinds of trading cards with actual stale gum inside.

Obviously made by somebody who never experienced the 80s 🤷‍♂️

Check the newspaper in a drance? I’m 47 and I’ve never done that. 😂

the things said and shown in this video- it cheapens what the 80s (and 90s) actually were. really being there was so much more than this even represents- it feels like a cheap disney remake. it was just life, it was just being normal, it was just being free and capable to discover a whole world being ignorant to the dark realities the future would bring. most kids wouldn’t even mention these things said because they were “just life things”. we forget how earnest and trusting by default ppl were. most weren’t exposed to the shittiest of humanity to be either influenced by or given fear from (like today). even the shitty ppl in your town had a shred more decorum than a common figures you see on social media. social media robbed an innocence that many ppl could live their whole lives keeping intact- and that’s sad.

If there’s a movie I love more than “ET the the Extratraa-Terstrial” that would be “Starratat the Warras”

If Captain Crockpot made an appearance and it wasn’t the holiday’s, you were getting pot roast. Or, more specifically, chalky meat and vegetables with a slimy coating.

In 2025? I'll Walk u through Some people still trying to figure out their gender Kids need AI to add 27+34 Kids love their phones more than their parents Online prostitutes make more than a guy doing 3 jobs at a time WiFi is more valuable than gold Virginity is seen as stupidly

2025 sucks ☹️

The 80's! The 60's for me. Much the same. In 1960, I turned 4 years old. I started Kindergarten in 1961. Walnut Creek, CA. It was Newell Ave. then, but became 1987 Olympic Blvd after Olympic was build. California was so much different then.

the whole remembering phone numbers brag is diminished by the fact that we usually were only remembering the last 4 digits. I don’t remember memorising any out of town numbers.

all these dudes grew up to be gay

In 2025 we use spell check. Also in 2025, The Retrieval-Augmented Generation AI, that created these videos still hasn't figured out HOW to use spell check. Cool sentiment though.

What a shitty life

I remember feeling like we went on a vacation when we went to see a new movie at a theater. It was so awesome. It’s the simple things!

Growing up in the 50s & 60s was similar with even more independence and self reliance.

How much the world has changed.

Calling your mom collect when you're supposed to say your name "come pick me up"

We used the tv guide to show us times and dates of our eight channels we had. We only had channels 2, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13. and at 10:00pm the channels were blocked/off for the night and came back on at 7:00 am. In 85 HBO was created and it was a box with Off and On.

"Spending a penny"

Corrections: That was not a van, that was a Station Wagon. No one knew about slow cookers because we were kids. I never even heard of those cookers until I was in my 30s.

1. Someone doesn’t know the difference between a penny and a euro. 2. The euro wasn’t even used until 2002 anyway. 3. Where the hell is that foot wearing the red sneaker sprouting from???

@blalock34 @yyggggiiiim @TC_Instruction given.. me and the some of the lads only just snuck in!! But it was still awesome

Remember…….calling “operator” collect call and for message saying “pick me up at Jen’s” to your parents when you didn’t have money? lol
