>video games were just being revived thanks to Nintendo
>tech was beginning to flourish and eventually did in the 90s, an amazing decade of its own accord

This is bullshit. I want to go back now.

reagan was a cuck who wouldn't secure the border

hindsight is 2020, it's not his fault Mexico couldn't entice its own people to stay home

So do I man, so do I

>hindsight is 2020
That should be someone's presidential slogan

And the cherry on the cake :
>Collapse of USSR and total obliteration of commies all around the world

I hope Trump bring the 80's spirit back.

Too degenerate for that now

People are now just self-deprecating, whiny, manipulated, entitled, and tired cunts. And to top it all off you have a good 51% that are the exact same but feel like their above it all.

What kind of coke are you snorting faggot? Murder was fucking rampant during the 80's and Reagan was perpetuating it with all the bullshit he was doing with bin Laden when he was fighting the Soviets and the fucking Nicaraguans.

Revisionism sucks.

Is it too late to go back?

I think it is. I don't see any hope here.

You know what made it that way? Absolutely monstrous inflation rates, and corresponding slight increase in bank interest rates. Education was so bad back then, people actually thought they were getting richer just for keeping money in a bank. Idiots.

> Education was so bad back then

As opposed to know?

In today's world people like to think they're educated, but really they are just parroting shit they've read on buzzfeed or facebook.

no that would be early 30s Germany

80s into the mid 90s - absolutely. GenX lived through the best of times, and the worst

We're going to Make America Great again. Not for us. We had our time. But for our kids. We came to the precipice of darkness, and we're turning away from its magnet like pull.

Okay boys, have a synopsis of my average journal page from 1989.

Reagan, Thatcher, even in Australia we had the furthest right the Labor party has ever been.
But as much as I liked the Atari 2600 the 90's Playstation was better.

oldfag here.

yes, they were.

>in recent history
The Long 80's (1980-1995) for sure

COMFY, what were your fav nes games user?

1980s kid

Southern California

With parents that make money

White

Life was awesome. Still is.

>ywn have this much of a comfy life

There weren't a ton of games around that time, I had the standard Super Mario Bros. which literally everyone had. I had R.C. Pro-Am. I think I had Zelda at that point. Milon's Secret Castle. But at that point in time I was probably working on Super Mario Bros. 2 since I rented that game a lot before eventually buying it.

Oh yeah, and we used to go in grocery stores and crawl around looking under the shelves, because they didn't have a barrier or anything underneath the front like they do these days. So people would drop change and it'd roll up under there. We pulled some nasty-ass money out from under those shelves, but we sure played a lot of video games with that shit.

The 80's should be known as the 2nd Renaissance

And passed the Hugh's Amendment. Fuck Reagan that fucking cuck.

This. Feels mixed man.

Drug lords killing drug lords. Nothing of value was lost really. Abortion did wonders on lowering the crime and murder rates.

Yeah there's no going back. However we can do better. We need to get rid of the non whites, all that stuff just come naturally from high trust white nations.

Minorities were never a big problem for most people, so getting rid of them now is not going to recapture the feels of the 80s.

The 80s was a congruence of the universe from music, movies, TV, technology, and the vision and mood that those provoked in people.

Trump is an angry man, creating angry people. Reagan was a gentle, soft-spoken person who at least inspired hope amidst his scandals and near world war presidency.

80's mainstream music was better than todays. I wasn't alive then so idk how great it was. Toronto was probably still mostly white then.

youtube.com/watch?v=69Z6MAK58gs

I think this song is pretty great

I wish, that I could turn back time.

I didn't ask for this at fucking 3am..

I don't think you'd want to be trapped there, because despite all the feels I might get in remembering it, I'm quite happy with many of the advancements we've made.

I've thought of myself back in time before, and I get an honest-to-god smothered feeling when realizing how long I'd have to wait to get back to where we are now.

I unironically believe social media has doomed us all

nah, the 80's was just a precursor to the 8 coming years of the real 80's.

OHHHHYYEEEAAAAA

>its not a rickroll thread
been ages since we've had one

Stfu boomer. I don't give a fuck about the 80s. People liked it cuz it was white culture.

The 80's were fucking rad. I was there. Good times.

>he literally thinks in racism

I'm going to post this here and see what feels it prompts in people.

youtube.com/watch?v=-NMph943tsw

Yes! Anymore useless wisdom you want to part with old man?

yes goys capitalism and money good goys, spend your shekels. I need more shekels. 80s were good goys

I graduated high school in 88. Great fucking time to be alive. It could be great again but it will take a lot of rope.

yes yes yes I know goy!

2016 is MUCH better, a handful of multinational mega corporations who push race mixing, the destruction of family values and the collapse of tradition

>grew up in comfy 80s Miami
>will never go back
>Miami won't go back to pre-shithole times
>the mall down the street will never be the comfiest place on earth to hang out in
>arcades and arcade culture will never come back
>bike riding and canal jumping will never come back
>things will never be the same

early 30's germany is why late 30's germany started... and eventually 40's... it was not the greatest time.

Just letting you know that you're what's wrong with America. You never knew joy or hardship growing up. All you knew was sitting at home, hiding in the basement, playing Xbox and shitposting from your always-on internet connection.

The 80s wasn't about racism, regardless of what your fucked up existence may have taught you.

Underrated

>Its another 80's nostalgia thread

This is what it feels like being a millenialfag who will never live in the 80's who sees this thread everyday

youtube.com/watch?v=kNdDROtrPcQ

music was way better in the 90s
technologies gave us way better possibilities today
and it's getting better all the time (especially if you didn't swallow the bait and didn't become what they call an adult)

Nah. I think it's all the aids infested Africans you old farts are trying to become one with, that's ruining America. My mean words aren't why they riot and kill us.

Kek fucking this.

Love that video

>>grew up in comfy 80s Miami

I thought Miami in the 80's was like Detroit now because of the "cocaine cowboys" thing?

>ITT: rose tinted glasses

>Liberals gaining more and more power
>political correctness was basically a commonplace thing by that point
>shitty brainless entertainment just as usual, with only a few "classics"
>the only "" saving grace "" was Reagan, a president who made drug crime boom, only eroding our culture more

America was dead in the water by the 80s, since the 50s it had already been going down hill.

Feels bad man

No, your country was falling apart in the 80s, and you didn't get our good American music until the 90s, is all.

>Fast forward 27 years

Rose-tinted glasses implies that it wasn't as good as we remember.

It was as good as we remember, that's why 80s music, TV, and movies have engulfed every decade since then.

youtube.com/watch?v=BHgYtKkSEDA

idk if this song is 80's, but it sounds like it's from the 80's.

because it's conveniently the most bland. you can market to mid-life crisis types who couldn't enjoy their lives enough, while at the same time marketing to nostalgia fags who only get their experiences of past decades from shitty video games.

it's bad enough when some of these nostalgiafags think Phil Collins is good

Even OP's image is based on 80s Miami. Dade was a rock solid conservative stronghold composed of Florida crackers, Cubans, and Nicaraguans. It starts slowly going to shit in turn of the decade with all the Colombians coming to Miami (they're not political migrants like Cubans and Nicaraguans) and bringing their problems with them (the cocaine!) and of course, it starts eroding the foundation on which Miami was built upon.
Cocaine Cowboys was a meme to the average person and literally everyone living in Miami and its suburbs was at the peak of their life. Cocaine Cowboys only affected Colombian ghettos (which later spread on to nice neighborhoods like Kendall) and low-tier Cubans (this is around the time people on boats start coming in on a daily basis, they're a different breed than the OG community) just like in Scarface.
I hate the 90s because they ruined Miami, but I didn't see its destruction cuz I was living in Maryland at the time

Pic related, peak levels of comfiness
Never coming back

>brown people that aren't dressed like terrorists

music of the 80s was awesome only because that was switched on then. But 90s toppled it, hands down

this one also was mixed by ministry guys, not many people know it, but on the ep it's said so. and they approved on headbangers ball interview: youtube.com/watch?v=Mr_uHJPUlO8 (rubin only added the beginning and some more sounds)

oh, you're a pops lover, here we go then:

youtube.com/watch?v=AN25cGQUPRI
okay, I see your point. Pop music went down from here. 80s was the golden era of pop-culture
youtube.com/watch?v=AN25cGQUPRI

Michael Jackson also blew our mind, but we jumped from 60s in 80s. Only in the 21st century could we discover your 70s:

that dubbed link was supposed to be this one:

Both Madonna and MJ was better in the 80s, that's true. Good thing is I was a kid then. Pop music is for children and faggots. Sorry about that

The stagnation started in the 60s. If it weren't for the threat of nuclear Holocaust, the 50s would have been by far the most glorious decade for the Anglo man

You're a moron, but I accept you as you are.
Enjoy your 80s pal

Oh God yes it was desu.

I wish I could remember more of it, I missed out on most of the 80s.

Society has been depressed and cynical ever since.

W-what about girls in the 80s?

Better or worse?

The 90's were better.

most likely the sound is pre-recorded and edited

youtube.com/watch?v=LjPVeDgDJe4

hairy bodyparts and messy makeup

Wh-what is that shit just normal? Do Russian fingers often go blululululu with their tongues in music?

>synth wave retro 80s music making a comeback
>Donald Trump pro American policies
>stuff like Stranger Things is nostalgia 80s tv

I think the future is going to be good

>still comparing nasty poor 80s russian women who stood in lines for 8 hours to get bread to cool hip 80s american women

WHAT A SURPRISE, THAT'S MY FETISH

nope. that guy is unique. and enormously popular in china, so I was told

I watched american porn from the 80s, so that disgrace is well documented

...

You think you know 80s women, but you don't.

In case you forgot, the very narrow bikini bottom was becoming very popular. There were commercials for Nair hair removal and other womens' shavers all the time.

in my opinion that shit looks good only on blondes (especially ginger ones)

it was their time without stds

Music is all fake today. The TV, movie, and video game industries are all so oversaturated that 99% of what comes out is shit designed just to break even or make a slight profit rather than be a blockbuster.

If you have to ask, then you probably aren't even aware of just how bad things are now. WHich is exactly what they're counting on.

I hate the internet but I can't stop using it.
