- New message from JScotter: Please read and share.
This is more of a statement of individual expression rather than fashion. This was almost 30 years ago, and yet the ignorance and lack of recognition toward individuality has existed since before then and continues today. It's absolutely OK to be yourself and express yourself the way you want, as long as it's legal and you are not hurting anyone or yourself. If you agree or like this message, please share this video on your social media pages. Kids show your parents. Parents show your kids. We are all unique. We are all different. Yet we are all the same. We are all individual humans. We are all part of the human race. We all want acceptance of ourselves and our individual expression. To love each and other for who we are is what makes us human. Hatred is arrogance and ignorance, combined. And that, my friends, cripples the world, whether in masses or one individual at a time. So, please share this as a testament to your unique individuality and the quest for your acceptance of and to all!

Original post description:
This is a documentary about fashion that I did in high school. I entered it into Diablo Valley College's Door Stop Awards contest for video production and took first place for "Best High School Documentary".
I am the girl stephanie marshall :) what a trip, found it sad we all commented on so much abuse we took for it. I was still on the swim team at that point. lol kind of a jock but not.
You looked amazing!! So sad you guys got so much shit though. It's still the same everywhere even now. I have a mohawk and when I walk down the street, you'd swear nobody ever saw one in their life! :P
Stephanie Marshall gave great advice: get out of Antioch.
Steven, AHS Class of 1970
Aishling O'Neill Its more mainstream then it was then, but you still have those that dont get it. I still have a bit of color in my hair, Im still that individual, just grown up. Im glad I was that way, Im glad we were all not afraid to be who we wanted, that group shown, we were the only group like that in the school. in a small town like Antioch was back then, it was rough. But you dont change for anyone, being an individual is being a leader. Show your colors :) always. Love yourself, and dont hate on those who dont get who you are, there is already enough hate in the world. xx
***** lol Antioch was small then, in comparison to now, or even shortly after it exploded. I wish I had expressed what I meant when I said that. I was going to clubs in San Fran when I was 15 lol (oh geesh if my Mom knew lol ) but outside of Antioch there was a society just like that group there, so much to see and do. I say that now to anyone who lives anywhere, get out and explore! Although I would still tell anyone to get out of Antioch lol :P
Yes. My grandparents moved to Antioch from Spain (via Hawaii and SF) around 1920 or so. My father was born there in 1924. I think there were only a few thousand people then. When I grew up, the population increased from around 10k to 15k (if memory serves). My senior year, 1969-70, was the first year when black people went to AHS. In those times, African-Americans lived in Pittsburg, none in Antioch. We made sure our own kids grew up in a more diverse environment (in our case, Berkeley). I know Antioch has changed over the years, and your point is well-taken: wherever you grow up, get out and explore. Even if you ultimately return, you'll appreciate your home more.
Bless these kids, so young and innocent. I hope they went on to do well in their lives.
I did :) thx!
wait where you in this video????
I did, I am Steph Vivian as well, stephanie marshall in vid, blue hair (this is my work account lol)
right. so you work in a gaming place?
Hander Panda no I own it
These teens had thicker skins back in the day; comfortable in their own style regardless of who picked on them.
This is seriously inaccurate.
I certainly didn't feel thick-skinned. We all talked tough, but there was a reason why so many 80s songs are about alienation and not feeling understood and being lonely for not fitting in. The Smiths entire catalog was basically cheap psychotherapy for a lot of us nerds, fags, sluts, weirdos, and dweebs out there.
Lmaoo kids in New York always had style rhis suburban shit
110% thicker skin...Class of '85 here. The past generation and a half are nothing but wussy powder puffs
reminds me of the breakfast club
I was thinking the same exact thing, it's a good thing nobody stole from Barry Manilow's wardrobe... The girl in the hat looks like Molly Ringwald by the way.
lordfarquad420 right!!
Hahaaaaaaaa
Salvation army...sigh. Thrifting in the 80's was gorgeous. Nobody knew the value of anything. You'd find f**king Chanel jackets for 15 bucks.
The 80s had the Best styles
Nah.
Today is best.
Music, movies, games, was best then.
@@Nicomanism You wish...more like the WORST.
Thank God they are bringing the fashion back now. I love their style so much. ❤️
Ediana Ventrice I'm with you on that girl! 😃😎
Boring Looking for Likes Responses
@kyfaydfsoab what's weird is that people respond 5 years old comments...
I can't stop looking at her teeth.
2 people disliked this? They must have been the dorks who barfed wine coolers on themselves at a Bangles concert. This...is....history.
this wasn't the dorks?
How old are you 18 :)
Love this! I started high school in 1984, in Modesto, CA. Can SOOOO relate to this! I was into thrifting, had purple hair, and was totally into ska! LOL great time capsule! Can so relate to this quote: "Get out of this town and do something else besides just cruising around in your cars all the time."
what does the guy say right next to that chick? shape up what???
Juanee31 Shape up, Antioch. You're slow.
80s thrash metal outfits are awesome
In the 80s, people could wear a great number of styles and fashions, punk, part 1950s, prep, or create your own. This is Antioch high 84-85. Many people wore what they wanted and people didn't care.
That girl with the pink hair is so pretty
THEY WERE MORE REBELLIOUS THAN THE BADASSES OF TODAY
I hung out with Doug Rodgers for years fun guy! good times snowboarding and hanging out in our 20's, I worked with Trov at Big O tires in high school but lost contact with both of them.... love the film
Not long after, "the jocks" and their cheerleader girlfriends saw this stuff on MTV, started dressing the same way, started listening to the same music...
This is fantastic. Thank you for making it in the 80s and posting it now!
Wow...watching it I felt like how time fly...this was my generation. Hard to believed these kids are now in their 50's just like me. Long Live the 80's !!!!
These kids seem well grounded and quite normal with a sense of style for their time! I love this ❤
this is such a gem! can't believe we're in 2014 and there's still kids struggling with the way they get judged cause of their style
For an 80's fashion video, there is a serious lack of mullets.
Leslie has a proto-mullet
There were more mullets towards the late 80s
This was the spikey/fringed/pink hair period and this school was probably not in 'Metal' territory. Closer to the beach or in the city everyone was more 'mod' rather than 'metal' so there were more goth, new romantic, and mod styles than Dio shirts and mullets.
@@jonnuanez2843 I had a mullet in about '84.
Mullets started around 81'. Definitely were normal in 84'.
Ugh. Such an uncomfortable time, despite all the amazing stuff happening like arcade games and MTV.
Per S I was a teenager at the time, and I was quite comfortable! Best decade ever, if you ask me!
Lori Reece of course it’s the best decade for you!!! You were a lot younger, you didn’t have as many responsibilities, no job, no kids, no bills to pay!!! So please cut the bullshit!!!
What..class of ‘88 here great times..
Nowadays if you dress anything like these kids you will only get dismissively called the all-encompassing term "hipster"
Cad Malz if I leave the house wearing black jeans people call me emo
I see all these same styles on the Teens and 20-somethings going to the clubs around here all the time. I even let one try on a vintage Permit shirt I have that they desperately wanted to borrow. It's falling apart so I declined. :P
The 'hipster' of those days actually had substance and a personality.
@@CS-np2oo hipsters didn´t really exist
SJW's today look similar to some of these kids. :P
This is fantastic! I could have watched this for along time if it was longer. I was intrigued and inspired by the testimonies of these kids.. And the music breaks in between interviews with quick cuts of the school was brilliant. Not to mention that tree costume change closing! YES!
That's so funny! They look so tame compared to me in the 80s.
I love the fashion from the 80s. That doom glamour look was great...I always thought doom glamor chicks were hot. :)
yeah, I like that look too; but we called them Goth Chicks--into Bauhaus, Siosxie and the Banshees, etc. Most were pretty smart too.
Who came here in a time machine and is watching this in 1984 ?
These styles scream mid 80s...so goth..punk..new wave.
This was my Jr High years. I miss the 80s :(
I loved growing up in the 80s! What a time, especially as a young teen
Woooow. it's crazy to see the differences of style from 1980's to now in Antioch.
My dad graduated from there in '85 so it's cool to see what it was like when he went there.
All these kids are like 50 right now lol
billy nelson Nothing wrong with that. Fifty is fabulous these days! 😁
Your time is coming lol
Yep.....I'm right there too!
Great time to grow up!
40-45 actually
I graduated in '85. Just turned 52.
Whatever fashion was popular the year you were born should be the style your heart loves most.
I was born in the 70s. I HOPE that bell bottoms, flat ironed hair, and long sideburns NEVER come back.
Same with music
some people will always judge people by what they wear.
Kids has thicker skin back then.. today they are cry baby whiners...
Duran Duran ska? Dude, what have you been smoking?
Early new wave music had similarities to punk in the 1970s, however, by the time Duran Duran rose to prominence in the early '80s it was more akin to disco and electronic music,i.e, synth-pop.
He is a cute kid. I doubt he knew what 'ska' was. It was just a cool thing to say that made him sound sophisticated. 1984 everything was compared to Duran Duran because they were bigger than Michael Jackson that year. The Arena Tour was just CRAZY!
I was that age then. I honestly can't remember hearing the word Ska until the 90s. Sometime around when 'No Doubt' became popular.

thanks for sharing
1:15 60 bucks on a pair of pants you say, outrageous.
This was really well done. I was in journalism school when you made this and I remember what it was like pulling together pieces like this before the days of digital editing. Also, I graduated from high school in 2003, so it has good nostalgia value.
84/85 all girls was about Madonna
This is awesome! Oh the memories of the wonderful 1980s. I also agree a follow up its in order now that the whole of the internet's is hip to this video.
In fact, I think I'm in contact with most of them.
OMG, I went to AHS! I graduated in '84, was a punk and went through all the same BS as these kids did.I am still in contact with Lee's sister, Joni. Would love to know what ever happened to Trov. We used to hang out but I got the hell out of Antioch as soon as I could! :) Tim R.
Young people sadly have no personal style today. Instead of looking unique, they choose to conform and look just as bland as everyone else around them. They have no style, no personality and no social skills. I thank God I was young in the 80's when being an individual was encouraged over conformity.
I grew up in Pleasanton, only 20 miles away from Antioch...small world.
i love 80s my childhood
Flashback!!! Class of 84 here
1984 fashion? Bull. I was a teen then, fashion for guys consisted of a worn out AC/DC or Led Zeppelin shirt, faded and ripped jeans and either a leather jacket or denim jacket.
Adolph Zuckerjew This was a video project. I, too, dressed like you. These kids didn't. At the time, I thought they were fashion statements. Today I believe it was a self expression of individuality.
It depended what group you were a part of on how you dressed
If you were a "rocker".
It depended on who you hung out with and region of the country. Someone in NY dressed differently than someone in LA, Chicago, Dallas or Salt Lake City. The 80's weren't as style bland and homogeneous as today.
I don't understand, these kids look just like all the other teens in the 1980's.
There were still a lot of kids that had that 70's stoner look in the mid 80's, plus you had your Deadheads
Actually, these kids were the exception in most High Schools. Just like the hippies in the 60s were the exception, unless you lived in places like San Francisco.
I can't believe that ppl get so upset @ kids being kids. Smh
Thank you.
Do something besides cruising around in your car all the time."
Little did she know, that people in the future would be introverted, glued to their cell phones, social media accounts and videogames, watching videos from the 80s wishing that we could go back in time.
love it. such a great slice of 1984 right there.
This 80's fashion is back in style once again in today's society 2018 😎
what back in style people´s cultures aren´t a style that goes away
Lol 80s fashion was never back in style
@ryan go to the mall and you'll see it everywhere, where do you think the fashion ideas in place now at least the majority stems from.. it's inspired by 80's culture and styles
@@g-o-network7577 even tho your comment is from 2018 it doesn't really make a difference, anyways when something comes back in style it's because I fuck ton of people are wearing it lol, the chances of seeing someone dressed 80s is literally 1%
80s fashion was never back in style in 2018 or now lol your comment was literally cringe
I thought the 70s were insane, the 80s make the 70s look like the pinnacle of reason. What a fun period to have lived in, now get a haircut and get a real job, why won’t you be just like your big brother Bob. I imagine Cyndi Lauper, the Sex Pistols, Clash, etc. have a lot to answer for.
Awww so nostalgic
Class of ‘88 great times
I have to echo what others have said here. I'd love to see a follow up!
They didn't say ' like' every other word.
I was all Like, hey I noticed that too.
84, the year I was born. I wish I was born in the 60s
Then you would have had to grow up in the 70s and that wasn't much fun for kids. I know, that's when I was a kid. Thanks to Star Wars I had a childhood.
@@mistreme8341 70´s was awesome
I was born in 67' and my girlfreind was born in Dec 84'. Which is right around the time of this video in my senior year in HS. She does have this thing for 80s nostalgia and coin arcades. So we go.
like totally love the 80"s >(>gag me with a spoon) quote from valley girl the movie>>>>>>>preppie is the best style ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
People go on about how today sucks, but for the most part you can do your own thing in the 21st Century and not get any shit. Back then it took some nads to step out and be different. I remember a guy in my HS in 86, in NH. Obviously gay and he let it fly, tall , a little stocky spiky hair, this kid was not hiding anything without saying it. . I’m sure many classmates came out years later but this guy, who would leave the class and walk into another class to get in the hallway, you’d hear the cat calls .....I didn’t go along with it, I actually admired him for not only being himself, but having bigger balls than the so called jocks. I hope is doing well today .
That's a great story, thanks for sharing. 🙂
Did he get catcalls from both guys and girls ?
@@cool_562 no dudes, though his group were all girls but the ones who didn’t “fit in” Not sure how old you are, but if you’ve seen any Jonn Hughes movies such as Pretty in Pink or Breakfast Club .. we’ll High School in Suburbia in the mid 80s was pretty much like those movies .
Did you keep in touch with any of these kids?
1:37 that kid was like 11 years ahead of his time lol
I knew I heard that song before...at the last 2 seconds of the video I heard the word "She-Bop" Its Cyndi Lauper - She-Bop
As he’s “laughing” it off he’s planning.
would be very interesting if these very people made it to the highlighted comments
These were innocent times back then, you didn't have to worry about a classmate buying a machine gun and wasting half the student body. Thank you NRA/GOP.
Don't know what you're talking about. Gun laws were a lot more relaxed back than before the 1986, 1989, and 1994 gun laws. Before that it was a lot easier to get a "machine gun"
Dont blame the NRA or the GOP.. blame the fucked up parents and the media...
MerkinMuffly is merely parroting the same old worn out lies, half-truths, and misconceptions of the gun control gangs such as Everytown for Gun Safety and the Brady Campaign.
That relegates them to being a wretched troll who comments for one or both of two reasons: a) to disrupt; b) to gain attention.
MerkinMuffly another dumb liberal who would see his own countrymen disarmed and left to the mercy of the government if he had his way. I'm glad there are more real patriots in this nation than idiots like you.
MerkinMuffly
Great, a clueless Libtarrrd.
It was a lot more Conservative then til Trump here recently. Reagan strengthened the dollar so damn much after the collapse.
Satanists and people taking SSRI's in high doses seems have been seen frequently in shootings. In the UK they banned guns, and knives exceeded the murders after the gun ban. Guns are banned in Chicago, and they some of the highest shootings in the UK.
Now be cured of your Liberal stupidity!
is that Matt Damon?
I showed this to my mom and my mom said that all her friends had style like this 😃🤗

1980s were the Italian Firm called the "Memphis Group" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Group
The students reminds me of the breakfast club characters
I WAS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD, MY MOM WAS IN HER 20's, I WISH IT WAS THE 1980's AGAIN, SO I COULD HAVE DIFFERENT PARENTS AND DIFFERENT CHILDHOOD . I WANT A TIME MACHINE TO GO BACK NEVER SAW THIS, WHAT I WOULD GIVE TO BE IN HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN ALOT OF KIDS I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HAD NEGATIVE ENERGY I WOULD HAD LIKE TO GO TO A DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOL AND SAID THINGS I WISH I DID. IN 1997 THROUGH 2001, I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL I REALLY WISH HIGH SCHOOL WAS SHOTER . I NEVER SAW THIS THIS, LIFE WAS SO MUCH BETTER I LIKED WHO I WAS AS A CHILD IN THE 1990's I REALLY MISS THE FUN AND THE MENTAL ENERGY I HAD. I NEVER GOT TO DRESS LIKE PUNK ROCK IN HIGH SCHOOL, THE LAST 8 YEARS BAD THINGS HAD HAPPENED TO ME I JUST WOULD LIKE TO UNDO THINGS TOO AND TAKES CHANCES I DID NOT AM IN A VERY SUCKY SITUATION AND I WANTED TO LOOK YOUNGER TOO AND GET MONEY AND AND COMPLETE MY EDUCATION
ang .....I wish you the best for your coming years....the happy thing is we still alive...the bad thing is we can't return in time but we still alive ...we should try
Where Are They Now
Still here..✌️
Didn't know Bolsonaro had a great hairstyle back then in the 80s. 0:26
I graduated in 1984 in Cincinnati. Omg, had the hottest g.f....got laid every day age14-17. Great education academically. Retired a 3 star General AF and F-15 Fighter pilot during Desert Storm.
I'd be interested to see how these people went on in life. I wish most of them the best, but I saw some daddy issues (to say the least) get pronounced here. (Man I see future trick pullers and dopeheads.) Ever thought about doing a follow up--30-years later?
I was Stephanie Marshall. CEO of my own company, living in Jersey, enjoying life and my kids. :) very happy tyvm
Steph Vivian
Cool to know. Know anything about the others?
BOBMAN1980 Trov Taylor is doing great, traveling, playing music, is on my FB page. The others no. But wont take long, its gone pretty viral with the group from Antioch I do have so I am sure in a day or 2 I will know more, will post back then :)
Steph Vivian
Thanks. And my best to you.
BOBMAN1980 I am sorry to see that judging people on their appearance is still going strong. I say this because of your comment that you see trick pullers and dopeheads. That is gravely ignorant. My friends and I did not conform to societal expectations in the 80's. Yet the majority of us are successful, happy and professional people who ended up waaaay better off than the jocks and popular kids. I, for one just graduated in the top 5% of my university and have a successful business. I know this is all anecdotal, but please think before you judge someone.
Most of this stuff is probably on Wavey Garms now for like 80 quid
i started high school in 86 in Oklahoma City, there was a surprisingly decent punk and goth scene, but not at school you still got a lot of crap.
I swear to god of the maker of this doesn't make a part two where these people are interviewed now...
This so cool. I graduated from Antioch High School, 11 years after this video was made. Their experience is so different from the 90s.
Cool! I graduated in 2013.
90s kid/2000s teen here tryin' to see how accurate Stranger Things 2 is lol.
My High School!
antioch ca ?
TheKidzinspace Yes. Antioch, CA.
Nice, i go to Dv
Always the jocks 😒
Is that Allison Mouradipor-Giovanni at 0:07?
Couldn't say... from Antioch? The girl with the curls?
lol Duran Duran is not ska
Tiffany Gloucester They’re not mediocre either.
Go DVC!!
Lol at that horrible definition of ska.
guys it's like Duran Duran lol
eeesh those braces.
Hope they worked out for her.
They all are in there 50s now
yeah and you styled like their generation and older l o l
I went here! Graduated in 2013.
We have, diarrhea poop.. And on our left we have shart fart poop. To our right we have Sharty McFarty.. I'm simultaneously expressing how I feel about the 80s and my far out adulthood.. maaaaan
people didn't say far out in the 80's that's 60's 70's
What part of the country is this from?
California I think.
In 1984 I was 18 a father and joining the Army I could care less about people dressed in high school that should be the attitude. Do what you want just don't force your lifestyle on everybody else today
Well, good for you Pete. Nobody's forcing anything on anybody... except maybe you and your opinion.
SHAYDEN Ventures just because your parents gave you that stupid name don't take it out on me little girl at least I think that's a girl's name
oh man the 80's fashion run.. already burned all my pics when i was a kid
smart
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I wonder if they're all still alive today
Sickness, health and tragedy. I mean, statistically speaking a few of them have to of succumbed to one of those 3. I don't know why I'm thinking about this.
I am the maker of this and friends with all... and all are still alive and kicking!
+jscotter is this really from 1984/1985?? I can see that being true... The one girl does look like cyndi lauper a little bit.
czcams.com/video/ljIQo1OHkTI/video.html
These were my people at school. My type wasn't shown here, though. I had more the Corey Feldman / River Phoenix thing going on with the longer sculpted hair and wayfarers. LOL Either that or I was being David Gahan of Depeche Mode . . .
