Whoa, is it the whole movie? I'm at work and Hulu is blocked. If so, I shall be watching this tonight!

I need to see this and that The Decline Of Western Civilization movie where the guy guzzles the vodka in the pool in front of his mom.

I believe that was the whole short film. Some choice cars in that little flick. I was most impressed with the wasted youth though. I wonder where these "kids" are now?

All I remember from what I've seen is some girl talking about "jumping Rob Halford's bones", which would have been really funny if she tried. Also, this was during a Judas Priest/Dokken tour, which must have been AMAZING back then!!!!

What year do you figure? Based on the cars I will go with 1982 (only because I am pretty sure I saw an 80 Camero in there)

"That's what I love about these high school girls, man. I get older, they stay the same age."

There is a Dodge Daytona fwd (or the Plymouth version) in the video that looks like a new car. My guess 1984/5. At about 9 minutes there is a silver Dodge Challanger by Mitsubishi in the background. Those cars have completely disappeared from existance.

did we really dress like that in the 80s?

It is 1986. I put it in the thread title man!!

Cool, I was 9.

notice how most of them kids are skinny.. If filmed today 20-30% would be obese.

86 I was 16... thankfully a Moody Blues fan over Judas Priest

"I'm Dawn, I'm 13." As she kisses the 20 year old next to her.

At some point in the video one guy mentions something about Halford,and being weird. I forget where in the video,but either this kids gaydar was really good,or he was alluding to something else. Either that or he was already out of the closet by then,but I don't think so). I don't think he came out 'til the late 90's (maybe 98),so this kid may have had some strong gaydar.

I was only 12 in '86(actually I was 11 until late in the year,Dec baby.

McDonalds , the methadone clinic or jail is my guess. I can now see why we banned lead paint.

LOL, I was 4! But that doesn't matter, because by that age, my three favorite bands were Van Halen, Def Leppard and Dokken, thanks to my older sister and MTV!!! My first 3 tapes were 1984, Pyromania, and Back for the Attack!!!

Someone needs to return to the Eighties to learn how to count.

I was 1 y.o. in 1986. Good times, good times...

In reply to Platinum90:

Yep, too busy rockin' to learn math!!! My bad...

I was two years into college.
I drove an '83 Rabbit and recently had gotten rid of my '77 Malibu Classic.
I was more of the preppy, new wave scene and not part of the head banger crowd. The funniest thing of the video is that I can almost name a similar local guy that I knew for every character in the movie.

You're damn right, sir!

If I'm going back to '86, drop me of in Oct. with World Series tickets.

1986? I would have been... 18. Eek.

Music was much better then.

I'd like to pretend that year never happened. Between the Sawx,and the Pats losing in the championship games it wasn't pleasurable. The Celtics did win that year though I think,but the Bruins(my all time favorite team)had a ho-hum season,and lost again to the Habs in the playoffs.

Alright,alright forget the whole 1986 thing again,that year never happened!!
