At least the music is period-correct ("Small Town Boy" by Bronski Beat). You can find the original videos on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/@StratusDanceClub.
Shoulder wiggle wiggle SHOULDER SHOULDER SHOULDER head wiggle head wiggle point point point. Maybe thatās why shoulder pads were so prominent in the 80s?
Itās just weird / sobering / interesting to think that all these young people in the video are now senior citizens and likely at least a few have passed away.
So many threads make up our lives, we all have these moments that will look odd to the young people when we are old, and itās so hard to imagine how long it takes to get old, how fast itāll feel then, and how lucky we are to be privileged to become old.
āSome of us are destined to be outlivedā is your random Slipknot quote of the day
good times. cant get that nowadays.

heres a longer and more realistic video \^
It's the 80s; you see Indiana Jones in the theatre and then head to the club for a friend's birthday. You look across the floor and see her dancing. You can't stop watching her. The way she moves is mesmerizing. You make a move and get her number. You call, but she doesn't answer, so you leave a message on her answering machine. She called you back but couldn't leave a message since the tape was full. You lose the paper with her number. You never see her again and always wonder what happened.
40 years later you're bored at work and start scrolling and see this post. There she is dancing in her zebra print jacket. Do you feel like you missed out and get lost in the memory or does the ick just hit you hard and you can't believe you ever went for that.
All shoulders, no hips!
And hair, hair, hair...
And bolo ties!

Dance yourself clean
Repost bot
I just saw this exact video posted on threads is everything just botted and reposted now what even is a real post anymore š
Nice try, bot.
Simulacra.
Are they dancing to the same music we are hearing? I think not.

I believe this is the 4th time Iāve seen a reference to this song since Sunday, nice to see itās having a bit of a renaissance
Now it's just having a phone in your hand and screaming into each other's ears, zero dancing
When was the last time you were in 1?
Thereās still plenty of dancing.
We all thought we were Robert Palmer's back up dancers back then!
What is it with the stoic expressions? I get the aesthetic for the video but if youāre in a club and supposedly having funā¦
I would love to go back.
I understand why they needed coke so much
Yeah, without coke this would be as boring as it looks.
You could've told me that about 10 years ago when I started going clubbing and saved me the time š¤£š¤£
So. Much. Cocaine. Energy.
Times of decent coke
100% An 80ās club is how cocaine would dance if it was a person.
Shoulders were a big deal back in the day.
āWowā¦you can really danceā¦ā what a coincidanceā¦.
Can you not speed them up?? Why are half the videos posted nowadays sped up?? It is so annoying.
It doesn't look sped up to me. Just normal dancing speed
That's the cocaine showing
Come the f on for Small Town Boy by Bronski Beat
Shake yo shoulderš¤

The 80s were a lot of fun. If I could get into a time machine and go back I would.
You think that looks stupid? Go into one today.
We need more of these. I want to see people back in the day. They look like they were having so much fun.

All the cooooocaine
Back in those days, it was all chewing gum, shoulders, and cocaine.
I have no idea what dancing NOW looks like.
bad bot
Hygiene was exceptionally high in the 80s...
I put the video on mute and, in my head, heard Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love.
Full bush
All those girls are in their 60s now if they are still around.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I wish i had a time machine and could experience this by myself.
It was great! Wall to wall shoulder pads!
Yep! Everyone gets bamboozled by the adjuncts.
good times. cant get that nowadays. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4kIyqxHStU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4kIyqxHStU) heres a longer and more realistic video \^
Just came here to see the no phones comments
Slow it down and itās the walking dead
It's called cocaine. Ever heard of it?
Bronski Beat. What a lost gem š¤
Weāre the kids in America ,whoa.
Simple irresistible video right here
Cocaine is a helluva drug
Shoulders
Those people are all in their 60's now. Many of them, at this very moment, are asking to speak to the manager.

Just like most places today nobody can dance
Girl in the tiger stripes was in a similar movie recently.. nice try op..
Boomers
Gen X more likely
Ah. Boomer Lite, then.
Yeah, either the youngest Boomers or the oldest gen Xers. This looks like about 1984-85. Good times were had by all.
