Wow. Back when MTV actually played music videos. If you didn't grow up in the 80s, you just don't know what you missed.

[coreyfisher]

Best time. So grateful to have been a teenager in the 80s.

I was 16 in 83.
What a time to be young and carefree.
Life was better without the cell phone and internet.

Man I miss the 80s so much…such a carefree time. My bones didn’t hurt, youth was on my side and no cell phones! There has to be a DeLorian somewhere that can take us all back 😎.

[yeags]

Was a kid...sitting on the floor watching MTV. So damn awesome. I miss the 80's.

[JRFrancisco]

Never missed the MTV Top 20 video countdown on Friday nights. Didn't need the internet or cell phones. Life was simple and fun.

[kidsniffer]

80's were the greatest time to experience. Summers seemed to last forever, music and movies were amazing.

[scotts]

We literally had to sit and wait for videos and specials or risk missing them. If you were really rich you had a beta max or VCR to record….. What a time to be a kid :)

I miss the good ol days, in 1983 I was 15 and life was fun today it’s all Stress

[gregj]

The good ole days! The best of days. What a decade to be young!

[Fred.pSonic]

Martha Quinn still locking me in 40 years later with those sweet beautiful brown eyes, what a honey babe.

[ryanfeit]

One of my favorite 1983 songs and videos was "Suddenly Last Summer" by The Motels.

[isolde]

I was a senior in HS when this aired. If only for one day I could go back .

[Craigkimmel]

Actually October 20th is my birthday and in 83 I turned 29, love my youth !

[BigLebowski]

This takes me back. Like a Time Machine. My gosh I wish I could go back.

[johnbruenn]

Somebody needs to buy MTV and restore it back to its roots. You can’t tell me there wouldn’t be a HUGE market for this!

[LearningJeff]

‘83… I had graduated, and moved back to Atlanta from Houston. I was an Mtv fanatic. The best new and old music you could see. Wow

[Wes-ld]

I was 15 and it was a great year for me, life was so different in those days and I’m grateful that I got to experience it 😁👍💪

[robinreece]

I was 16 in '83. Good times. Pat Benatar was awesome.

[SDJim]
