Ah, you have come across what i call the "roller-coaster" principal. It works like this: From childhood to 21 takes "forever" kind of like being on the ride and slowly clanking up to that first "hill" after that you are moving like an express train until the "ride" is over. and until you have experienced it you can't believe how fast it goes. To younger people time stretches out before them like an eternity. You have to go through it to understand that is not the case,

The vibe, the energy, the fast paced life, the lights, the modern and old architecture mixed into one, the diversity, the huge buildings. This place is massive. Americans should be proud to have a city like New York. It’s not perfect, neither the most beautiful, but by far, the most fucking amazing city I have visited. Greetings from Greece.

@MaYeRsDz True, 50's-nostalgia was quite common in the Late 70's & 80's, after Elvis's death. Lots of white artists like Rick Astley & Daryl Hall even had a pompadour back then, and there were many retro-50's bands like The Stray Cats and Roman Holiday. Uncle Jesse in Full House was even obsessed with Elvis, and Michael Jackson was pretty much Elvis's younger, black replacement. The 80's was also when perms made a comeback. Then Ice Cube roasted Eazy's Jheri Curl in '92 and MJ's controversial case in '93 was the final nail in the coffin for men's perms. Hair-Metal was dead at that point, 80's culture had fizzled out, and almost everyone eventually wanted shorter or flat-ironed hair by then, especially after Friends was released in '94, and the rest is history.

On the other hand the spectre of contracting AIDS with zero treatment available was a major killjoy of the times. By 1987 the subways and commuter railroads were about halfway restored, so there was plenty of nostalgia to be mined for us train buffs.

Yeah, so you can watch videos of people in the 1980s buying fun stuff. It’s not ironic, it’s not. Is it? Lol 😂

Back when each decade had a personality and the 80's definitely had one. I noticed everything post 2000 it's like everything feels the same.

I had the same thought, then came to the (possible) conclusion that it is just because we did not actually live those years but are instead used to the most distinguishing characteristics of those decades, as much as there are now but we are unable to fully grasp them because for us it's just a continuous stream.

I'm from the 80's - there was nothing amazing about the 80s, there was AIDS, Crack cocain, gang violence and women where nothing more than sex trophies...it wasn't that great.

I went to college in nyc from 80-84, then moved away for a couple years. In ‘88 I moved back to go to grad school, and I remember all these images like it was yesterday. Nyc in the 80’s was magical. In the early 90’s, I finished grad school and joined the professional class of nyc. Heady stuff. Heady stuff. I’d cut any deal the devil might propose to go back and live it again.

I agree-originally from Toronto and the UK, I was working in advertising in 1987, when I was in my mid-twenties. I lived in the Murray Hill area. Although NYC was supposed to be dangerous at that time, I never saw it that way. In fact, I too found my time there to be quite magical. I suppose it's the gift of feeling invincible in your twenties!😂 Videos like this make me reflect on the past with great fondness.
