Isabella Ibarra at the Southeast Career Technical Academy deserves full credit for an excellent compilation she put together featuring the patrons of the Stratus Dance Club in the San Diego area (actually Spring Valley) in 1986 and 1987. The clips were quite chopped and muddled so I set them to the music playing in the club, updating the video and replacing the audio in the process.
This was East County, and Stratus was a club that catered heavily to the new romantic and goth crowds-these videos are all labeled “The Metro Beat and Club Sanctuary Nights” which was an 18-21 event and a regular rendezvous for the new wavers in the area. Jane’s Addiction actually played Stratus right during this period, in the spring of 1987.
The clips start us off with the Cult’s “She Sells Sanctuary,” there’s a good deal of Divine (both “Shake It Up” and “Native Love (Step by Step)”) and Sexual Harassment (”I Need a Freak”) and Strawberry Switchblade’s version of “Jolene” and Trans-X (”Living on Video”) alongside more enduring faves. - Hudba

At 13:15 I’m dancing in the background but I move to dancing with straw hat girl. So cool!!! I’m 57 now! To see myself at 21 again having so much fun truly made my day thank you
I see you, you look so cool.
I made this a few years ago and technology has since advanced (as has my editing skills) so I was recently considering upscaling the raw footage to HD and remaking it. I will tag you in it if I do.
There is a part 1 to this, you should check it out as you may appear in that one too... Judging by your username you might actually enjoy a lot of the content on my channels, this one is mainly for early trance, pop, hip hop etc and my other (rem:trecords) is mainly for early and obscure ambient trance & experimental.
So happy you have found this bit of nostalgia, I make these things for a hobby and it's very rewarding when when it reminds people of previous happy times.
@@Yungrexyyes I started listening to EDM & Trance very young! As you see! I’m not in the other video I checked. However this was so awesome and a time to remember for sure. I look forward to hearing more
There are many girls at this point., are you the blond girl with white hat and sunglasses? cool . i'm 57 too i'm from class 1984. Did you meet with your friends of Stratus? They meet in "My space" and now on Facebook.
I was 15 and not allowed to go 😂
@@BEACHDUDE71I was 15 and I was there! 😂😂
Great times great music
I remember dancing in the club in the 80s.
Man I'm old
TransX and Book of Love, and Depeche Mode, and Erasure, and New Order/Joy Division, the Cure, Dead or Alive, Bronski Beat, the Smiths, OMD, tin tin, Human League, TSOL, Bauhaus, yep, I was there! 80s club scene in California. Untouchable! Never to be repeated in the History of the world. Totally Unique time! The fashions, expression, and music 🎶!Yep!
Ha. I'm 61 now and still dancing like this.😁
Yes people ,I was 17 in 86 and I loved the new wave seen, I was that robot dancer electric sounds well cool peace n love
I was born in 86 so i wasnt their....but i was their at heart .....
And i was watching.....and judging all of ur clothes
Whoever was filming this iconic decade was a genius. I wish I took AV classes in school. Those students were the OG vloggers of their time. I see every one of my eras in this club: punk, skater, new wave, Mod, preppy, jock, jazzercise,😂 Good times.
That’s an interesting list of people from the 80s! Do we all remember this one?
“The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude.”
Even some Psychedelic era vibes going on
Ah, such good times then. A myriad of amazing styles.
When androgynous was totally acceptable in the clubs...amazing times..unsurpassed
Androgynous? You should read this book.

1980s. Boy meets another boy. The first boy is straight. The second is a stunning blond(e) wearing red lipstick...
It would still be accepted if they were trying to push children into it. No one has a problem with adults doing any of it.
I had a big birthday recently and friends sent me photos of these days. Not a single cleavage to be seen in any of them…hadn’t even realised until now. We wore big shirts and dead people’s clothes mostly at the clubs I went to.🤣
Early 90,s shits on these morbid stiffs
Yep, it will never be like the 80s again, in the history of the world 🌎. Totally unique time on the Earth 🌎, never to be repeated! The 80's club scene in California! Bitchin! 👍💥
After watching a lot of this videos I’m starting to see familiar faces and that’s how it was back then when clubbing you would see regulars.

All the people you see in this video are fantastic!! it was a time in history that needs to be recorded for prosperity!! It was a time of change from 80s music to more disco and eventually EDM but still had the punks and the romantics at the club :)
Actually, disco died in the 70s as metal bands became popular. The 80s picked up where Andy Warhol and the Alternative 60s left off, then became too popularized via bands like The Smiths, U2, The Clash etc, leaving it open to what we have today.
My era, youth~~God bless all these beautiful people...turn the volume up~~dance, dance, dance, keep that body, mind moving~~
Proud to be Gen X ...
Золотое время было!
Wow talk about great memories ,these were the best yrs to be alive .
And Alive we were
Totally awesome days was 22 in 1986 👏👌👌
Best time in history for dance and fashion with Clovis

The “fashion” was unique I’ll give you that but that dancing is the most cringe shit I’ve ever seen lol
This brings back a lot of memories. Most people were so stuck up at this time. lol Cooler kids were around. Notice the less neat the hair, the more real the expressions on the faces. hah
It was the music of the 80s that saved humanity from depression with the deaths caused by the coronavirus covid
Omg it was so cool seeing so many of my friends! I’m in there 19:20 haha! Awesome! The generation that killed it!
Uhm, nice try. tmThat is not you. It's actually me and my two best friends who are brothers. If you know them tell me their names. I still hang out with them. I still live next to the building that was stratus in Spring Valley.
Takes me back to my late teens, at Todd’s, Ledernacht/the City Club + the Shelter, in Detroit.

Haven't heard State Farm in like 30yrs... It's amazing how your brain supresses songs and gets triggered the minute u hear a old song
@14:55 she’s so fierce back then, her moves/style, it’s what I like still today when I see it, bc nowadays such authenticity doesn’t exist much anymore.
I love her!! 🥹❤️🔥
I was in that video!!! A friend of mine Christoph sent me link and said “you are in there”.. I watched and yes I am in video!!
Brilliant. Glad you have found it. It looked like such good fun and it's great to hear from people who were there. What time in the video are you?
10:38 is alex riddell
he commented on another upload that he is 55 now and still lives in the neighborhood where stratus club used to be
these were under-21 events in san diego
I love th3 80s swag. It was so wild and free. The New wave/synthpop/ electronic/experimental age. Look at that fab hair!!
Very clever edit at 13:38!
Ha, well spotted :D there's few quirky little edits in there and I wondered if anyone would even notice. Tbf that was synched in the original footage (as was most of 'Living on Video') but 90% of the footage is of them dancing to completely different songs.
Really miss not having participated. A 13 year old in 1986, only allowed to go clubbing in the early 90s as folks would not allow me out during HS! The music scene had somewhat moved on by then with Eurodance/techno the dominant trends. Very different beat. By the early 90s, fashion had also changed, girls were Amy Grant lookalikes with baggy jeans. Big hair was out. And for guys, flannel shirts, stonewashed or ripped jeans. The Seattle grunge look. No one would have looked that smart with so many diverse fashion genres on show. That went out by 1991 and the mighty recession. What remained the same, however, is the fact there were no cellulars, you had to find a pay-phone to call your folks to pick you up or find someone to give you a ride back home. We also smoked as much. Gen X all the way and no regrets.
The gum chewing is what gets me LOLOL
I’m in the video at 13:15 I be dancing in all white long light brown curly hair with girl in straw hat I begin there and go forward a minute
Oh crap, did I see myself in there somewhere. This seems like when I was a Freshman (84) though. I thought we had pretty much moved out of that New-Wave, late Punk colored hair thing by 87. Kinda feels Valley Girlish.
The last song is so fucking cool
*'Trans-X - Living on Video'*
10:28 The devil girl is so pretty. ❤❤
11:19 guy moves so well! ♥
My spirit was in these clubs back then while my 7 year old self was stuck at home daydreaming about having a green mohawk.
I love their smiles
The innocence of youth mixed with simpler times in terms of social media influence... wish I was back there again, I thought I was quite bold in my fashion sense but these kids make me look reserved.
@Practicalicalicalica what anime
When the Dexy was pure
Nice to see some popping in the video!
1:06 looks like Christina Applegate when she was on the tvshow "Heart of the City" in 1986
I’d love to see what some of these youngsters look like now. Like are they still this cool ? This is my age group but I was extremely sheltered. I hate I missed events like this. Also, I’m wondering how many people got cigarette burns while dancing 🤣
Hairspray and smoking in clubs was a recipe for disaster, saw a few impressive fireballs myself back in the day 🤣
Is it just me or did they have way more style variants? Today is all white shirts and black pants lol
Individuality was the way... People were not afraid to express themselves, this was obviously before social media made people overly self conscious and more likely to blend in rather than stand out.
We had more stores/boutiques then. Some wore thrift shop clothes but they knew how to put their outfits together.
19.09 it's beautiful❤
It’s crazy to think that these people are now in their 50-60’s
Yea I am one of them! Its crazy to think I am almost 60!! Those days were as awesome as they look! Everyone could dress or act however they wanted and NOBODY gave a crap!! What is really funny is seeing everyone try to have their cool, straight face on but every once in while you see them break into smiles :-) Love it!!
Im 50 and I miss these days!!!
Tones On Tail FTW...... ❤❤❤
LOL. Guy @00:40 looks like one of the vampires from The Lost Boys.
He he, I don't know why but he reminds me of Ray Liotta... With bleached 80's hair :D
I swear Gen z the lamest why we don’t dance like this 😂
Because now you know that big brother is watching you 👀 That video of the girls laughing at the chubby kid dancing in the club was brutal... These people had no fear of being dragged on socials, the likelyhood of being filmed in the bars/clubs was slim to zero back then. Thankfully, that is why people felt free to express themselves back then. Now all you have is a homogeneous bland blend of conformity.
@@Yungrexy big brother is watching you
I wish I was in my peak in these years but then again that would make me like 50-60 now and F that with a bag of chips
@5:07 shoutout to Mikey & his Wayfarers!
BEST
Looks like the place to be if I’m being completely honest.
This Yazoo track was released in 1983
The footage is from 86-87, the music is not necessarily.
I'm totally in love with the blonde girl 10:38 and 20:52 (I think it's the same person) for her I would travel in time rather than for a sports almanac ....
Now here are the original tracks
The chick at 15:59 looks so awesome!
My teenage brain in the 80’s: "Target acquired" 😍19:00 🥰
Reality in the 80’s: Negative Ghost Rider the pattern in full.
My teenage theme song... "Some guys have all the luck." - Rod Stewart
Ha ha... I follow that good buddy :D
P.S. Same girl looking devilishly cute @10:21 btw ;)
@10:31 - gorgeous! she looks timeless.
They're all gorgeous imo but the girl that you timestamped seems to be the star of these videos... She appears 3 or 4 times & every appearance has been timestamped a thousand times, lol.
@@Yungrexy would love to hear all their stories
Omfg...thank you for this❤
You're very welcome, so glad you enjoyed the videos.
At 1:57. The short haired blonde is really cute.
The girl at 19:00 (minute mark) she is beautiful....
Was, my friend, she was. Who knows what she turned into by now?
@@AngelOfDarkness01I think I saw in another comment her name is Trish. She was wearing red.
@@irenawilson1572er name is jeanne marie
she's freaking gorgeous. great eye movement too
10:20 Devil Angel.
Beleza nota dez boa tarde gostei muita gente bonita adoro amei
I was 15
🔥
If someone offered me a button to push to take me back in this best decade ever I would push it without hesitation. Even and preferably if it sent me in a neverending loop of those 10 years. ❤❤❤
whos that little devil at 10:31 ???
Someone's Granny nowadays :p
Shame the audios been replaced
The clips did not have the full songs, they were snippets of these exact same songs that I have added... A few of the video clips may be from different songs but I cannot recreate a full video around a 5 second clip of 1 song. The tracks I used are the tracks used in the bulk of the video clips.
So, why is it a shame? & what exactly would you have done differently??
Indoor smoking 🚬 😐
Does anyone know the girl at 19:00? Please !
what was the weekly 80's dance club in Santee around the same time? Was it Odyssey?
Cua es el título de la primera canción la canta el grupo Yazoo?
*'State Farm'* es el título de la primera canción.
Where did you dig this up
Found the clips online and edited it together for posterity. Glad you enjoyed the trip.
10.22……who are you?
I am watching this video because I believe my mom is in it and I first saw a clip from Instagram and funny enough this woman you are asking about commented on the video saying she was the girl in red! her name is Trish 😌
@@baileyrobson2349 She was really attractive back then!! Im from that era so I can say that!!
10:21 who I came for....
it's not what you think
Ha ha... She seems to be the star of the series. That was the second appearance in these 2 videos, she completes the hat-trick in this video at 18:58... Enjoy! Just don't stalk the girl now as some seem to do :| I am also in love with her but it's the young me that is drawn to her then... Kinda the same way I still love Ally Sheedy & Molly Ringwald from the same era.
Funnily enough, it is the timid pale & frail kid with dodgy rhythm who makes a few appearances that the ladies most comment on.
She’s gorgeous! That smile, she would have wrecked my teenage self in the 80’s
but but this is Studio 9 not Stratus.
I wonder where they are today. I suppose some of them are grandparents now.
Es la música original del video ?
Es la música que sonaba en algunos de los videoclips, sí.
😁😁😁😁😂
the last track isn't strawberry switchblade
Yeah it is... I added it myself, downloaded the latest updated or enhanced version (as I did with the rest of the tracks).
who do you think it is?
trans-x - living on video
@@oldskoolforever79 Ah, you're right... The tracklist is wrong. My apologies, i thought you were suggesting that the version of Jolene that is/was on one of these videos was not performed by Strawberry Switchblade.
Cheers for the heads up, surprised nobody else noticed before now though.
Not much has changed with people who have freaky hair colors, they worked to warn us how crazy they were.
Like tRump with his yellow hair and orange face.
@@Yungrexy wow, that was quick, thanks for being a perfect example.
@@echohunter4199 You laid your bait on my video you tool. Your initial comment makes no sense, it is just stereotyping based on your narrow minded view... Go back to your chamber where you can repeat tired tropes to each other while clapping like happy Seals.
@@Yungrexy Are you 12? Good men have known for decades that women who die their hair in unnatural colors is asking for attention, it never improves their looks. Take a look at the ones in any footage from the club where this was shot at, it’s always unbalanced women that do this. I’m in my mid 50’s and I’m a retired Army Infantryman and never had difficulty in getting a woman in the 80’s and not a single one smoked, had freaky dyed hair or was fat/ugly (aka; fugly). My wife was a virgin when she married me and we’re still married and she stayed beautiful because I chose wisely and didn’t marry the first chick that I dated since many have baggage, bad genetics and some had kids which I learned to avoid early on. Some men just settle for whatever comes along so I understand how it can be, especially these days since young men are raised to be little women by single mothers. I didn’t get the same brainwashing as others did in my school.
@@echohunter4199 *"Good men"* Lol. You sad little fraction of a man. You were raised to be an obnoxious bigot and it shows.
PS. Your wife was no virgin and she hates you... If she even exists outside of your imagination. Now I suggest you quit embarrassing yourself and stop spouting your mid-life crisis all over the CZcams comments.
In the club and not a single person in their is twerking...
Nothing but dancing fully clothed ...
And ofcourse everyone wore clothes back then
How else they gonna hide their cocaine
No rhythm tho
It looks like everyone is dancing to whatever they hear in their own head......
a lot of these men and women expressed themselves with unique hair and makeup but, never had a political agenda or pronouns.
Well. You're just plain wrong here.
The music was far more rebellious & expressive back then & reflected the political frustrations of the then youth. Nearly every song you hear here was done by gay musicians... Two of these songs are by the faumous American drag-queen 'Devine'.
The nonsense you spew is not new at all, it's just the gay-debate from the 70s-80s al recycled for a new stupid moronic generation (that's you) .
@@Yungrexy is triggered! I guess facts and you never got along
@@sanbell6951 Triggered?!? How old are you, 12?
I was there in those times. Politics was much more prevelant in music/comedy/film back then. This was post-punk happier times but the cold war and nuclear threat was just ending and being gay was illegal less than a decade before.
What you are witnessing here is an explosion of gay music made mainly for gay clubs (most dance music originated in gay clubs).
The charts were dominated by Freddie Mercury, Boy George, George Michael, Elton John, Frankie goes to Hollywood, Pet Shop Boys, Erasure etc... As I pointed out earlier, 2 of the songs in this very video are by a Drag artist & were huge club hits at the time.
You are demonstrably talking out of your ar$e here. People like you were around back then too... They were called 'Skinheads' and these kids here will have been well aware of them and their blatant bigotries.
Reaganomics & Thatcherism were born in this time, there was industrial action in most sectors, most folks were hyper aware of socio-economic conditions at the time, this was how they escaped from that. You see grasshopper, most positive music movements are born out of hard times like Flower power in the 60's, dance & rave provided the escape in the late 80s & early 90s.
Even popular music was full of rebels & activists (Springsteen, Lennon, Dylan, Roger Waters, Bono. Geldof, O'Connor, Band Aid etc) & Music was also woke af too... We had *'Rock Against Racism'* & *'Feed the World'* a few short years before. Most musicians were boycotting South Africa and making songs to free Nelson Mandela. Not to mention the multitude of anti-war songs we had at that time.
Your ignorance is visable from space & you thought you would get kudos for throwing out lame buzz-words. Reality is, most people who relate to this era have had your number for decades now, you pathetic little manlet.
revisited sucks so much.
Belinda Carlisle at 9.43?
I thought more people would spot the lookalikes... Bridget Neilsen, Travis Bickle & Molly Ringwald are in there too lol.
The Flock of Seagulls have a lot to answer for! Just kidding... oh happy days.
