Teen Life in a Simpler Time – The 70s & 80s in Photos.

Step back in time to discover what it was like to be a teenager before the internet revolutionized our world. In the 70s and 80s, life was simpler but full of memorable moments. No social media or smartphones—just hanging out with friends, listening to music on cassette tapes, and spending hours at the arcade. This video takes you on a nostalgic journey, showing how teens of the past connected, entertained themselves, and created lasting memories without the digital distractions we have today.

I would go back and live in the 70's and 80's forever if I could.

Notice how thin and in shape 😊we all were in the 70's and 80's

The greatest time in human history. I wish I could go back with every molecule of my being. I could live a thousand years in the 70s

Definitely took me back. I graduated high school in 1970. I remember that the girls were fine in their summer clothes and bikinis, but most were not really as promiscuous as you may have thought. I loved that they were as Hot and Pretty as they were and never thought of plastic surgery!! Thank God!! Great Times!! Thx for the memories!!! 🙏🏻😎👼🌹🌹👼😎🙏🏻

This is so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing all the pictures and descriptions of everything! Your video took me back to my childhood and brought back so many cherished memories, helped me remember how happy I was when I was a youngster growing up! Life was so much simpler back in these days, I wish my grandkids could experience growing up in the same era that I did. No internet, social media, computers or cell phones. I’d go back to that way of life in a heartbeat!

Notice how cute the girls were? No tattoos, no bull rings in their noses. Just good fun loving kids that were actually happy!

I could swear I knew those girls in school. Or reasonable facsimiles there of. Loved them all!

First sentence ... "before the internet revolutionized our world". I often think ... "before the internet ruined our world".

I always thought the 70s and 80s were good times. If I had to choose, I'd take the last half of the 70s. Perfection. I can't think of anything I'd change.

2:36 STYX, Foreigner, Steve Miller, Boston were my first albums.

Best part of the 70's? people weren't fat, women were women and men were men, music was awesome. You could buy a dime bag of the finest ditch weed for about $4 and a Blatz beer ball for $7, no one got into a fight at a party and there was a party every Friday during the summer. If for some reason you did get into a fight, no one got shot and an hour later you were back to being friends.

Watching this brought back some memories. When it showed the bits about Pizza Hut that was my first job out of high school. I not only remembered the way it looked in the old Red Tops but when I saw that photo I could even smell the pizzas baking in my head. And the reading program I was glad to see how many kids came in to get their free personals. Some kids were so regular I would talk to them about books they read if it was not busy.

When you showed the "Look Under The Cap' photo that too brought back memories. At another time I worked in a small convenient store. Before putting out any bottles of Mountain Dew I would angle them in a good light and could see if the cap was a winner. The winners I set aside and bought myself. One year they gave away 15 minute phone cards. I had qute a few long distant phone calls that year that went in 15 minute increments.

The hot curlers! Wow haven’t seen those SINCE the 80’s!

[jtp-eo]

The tomato soup and cheese sandwich, I love that today!

Number 29 struck home. We were in the service station buisness in the 1970s. For those who recall them, they were service stations not gas stations until sometime in later 1980s.

Need to make a few videos from the 40's-the 60's for us older folks....

[guysolis]

Great video. These times were the best because we could live life without the distractions of cell phones, social media, WOKEness and all the bizarre sexual stuff. I would go back to the 70's in a heart beat and the chicks were cool, beautiful, clean and could take and give a joke without being offended..
