Random American High School in 1989: Such vitality, happiness, vigor...What happened to us?

Oh gawd! I thought my rat tail was soooo cool,
They eventually had to hold me down to cut that nasty thing off of me!

Yep me too, I would have been class of 1984 but I got a GED instead and joined the Army. Best move I ever made. I retired with full benefits in 2004 :-)

True statement

The people in that video are the parents of the kids & the teachers of the kids that are fucking everything up now!

while I agree with you a great deal,

the internet has made research infinitely easier. What used to take months or be impossible at all can now be done in minutes or hours.

also, the internet has brought great blessings to me.


so while I also absolutely miss the old values and days, there is some wonderful shit here today!

even fine parents cannot undo societal change pushed by the powers that be

You can guarantee only the cool kids were filmed

Not sure who to blame, the cool kids or the uncool kids. Anyone figure it out?

This!^^

Radical leftists hadn't taken over the media then, and we didn't have social media yet. They were still getting going with changing our speech, saying that we couldn't use words like handicapped, midget, etc.

They'd been around for a long time prior to this, but not in mass numbers, and after all of the revolutionary violence and bombings in the 70s, it's like the 80s was a brief break from leftist radicals. The dominant agenda items were things like wanting to stop pollution and feed the poor, things that everyone could agree on.

Honestly,

The American PSYOP (Conditional Programming) known as the TV did a superb job. It was just too hard to resist what wasn't understood to us.

This is the end of the cold war, an era I know well.

It sounds weird now, but we used to say that things were "bitchen" if they were really good. Remember that? lol

Gorgeous,,, and i miss the big hair...

remember: "Doyee" ..... lol

I know! I still feel a twinge if guilt for my parents

Communism was in Ivy League colleges in the 1950s and filtered on down into other colleges in the next 30 years, then into high schools-elementary by 2010. It wasn't "Millennials" who did that. Nor were they the ones to set up and allow these immigration policies and business outsourcing we have now.

Basically, all white, no rap.

Kooooool

We went from The (KISS Army) to "Grease is the Word" ..... lol

Leftism/Communism/ultra-liberalism knows no boundaries, including the ones of race, age, gender, generation, nationality.

.

very true, but what I mean is human nature is like a treasure trove of quirks, pulleys and triggers that modify and mold human behavior. Instant gratification and expelling your gusto on a keyboard displaces the natural want humans feel.

Ya'll forgeting the most important thing.

Break Dancing.

And the words "gay" and "stupid" were synonymous.

"Gay" was dual-use, and could be said to mean both things, simultaneously... it didn't necessarily just mean homosexual depending on context.

I still use it that way.

and the rare fat one had "a good personality".

It's like we went to having an extreme aversion to communism- with laws against it, Mccarthy-ism and all that to the point of it permeating everything- without a violent war or anything.

Too many vaccines, GMOs, and pharmaceutical drugs.

Oh yeah, and add a Nazi spirit that took over most of the world with their Deep State propaganda. that too.

How cool! I wonder where those folks are now...

The big hair!! Brings back memories. I'm a little older but still. The 80's really was the GREATEST decade!

grody to the max

Decent!

IDT (If Destroyed True) we'd write shit on the foggy bus windows then IDT so that someone wouldn't wipe it away

Even Spring Break in Palm Springs California looked more cool back in 1989 and 90. Much less DOOM back then.

I have an uncle who graduated in 1989- born in 1971. He was the baby of his family and the wild child. He turned out fine though, lol.

Piqua High School, Piqua Ohio 1984-1988

600 students, (4 blacks, 596 whites)

No one cared about your race only your abilities and personality.

The 4 black students were actually the coolest of all. You were lucky if they were your friend.

Depressed writing this.
