Teens React To 80s Fads & Trends | React

You know you're old when the producers confidently get things wrong because they never experienced it either :D

The kid having his own walkman at home. Someone is raising a legend.

Jane Fonda was doing aerobics. Jazzercise was a "brand" of dance aerobics that Jane Fonda had nothing to do with.

holding the cassette player "I've always wanted to see one of these in person".... is anyone else feeling old right now?!😭

I was a teen in the 80s. Some of this stuff is inaccurate, and some of the slang and styles were regional or only used as a joke.

Gotta give these kids credit -- they did pretty well!

The kids have really fun personalities here, so cute. Them know stuff from 4 or 5 decades before they were even born! As a kid in the 80's, I wouldn't have been able to name a bunch of stuff from the 30's and 40's, besides Laurel & Hardy. I'm generally impressed by kids and young adults today who can grow up in the crazy world we've created for them and be reasonably well adjusted. Thanks for giving them a supportive platform.

According to the actual song “Valley Girl”, the term is “barf me out”. And it didn’t mean to freak out. It was something you said when you were grossed out. In the song it was followed by “gag me with a spoon”, which was similar.

Jane Fonda's workout was NOT Jazzercise

That wasn't Jazzercise. That was Jane Fonda doing aerobics.

The producer said "Indigo Montoya" for the record there's no 'd' it's "Inigo Montoya"

That Jane Fonda exercise video was not Jazzercise. That’s called aerobics. I think Jazzercise was a franchise. They came out with new dance routines every few weeks.

These kids give me faith in the future, non dismissive of the past styles, culture etc and did so well with the questions

When they do 80’s fashion, none of these kind of videos never mentions Members only jackets. They were quintessential for 80’s fashion.

Betty is 90s term from Clueless. Never uttered by anyone in the 80s

Maybe you should have consulted with someone who actually knows about the 80s. Parachute pants were popular with break dancers but they were popular for a very short time around 84-85. You did not show parachute pants. Parachute pants are made of parachute material and are rather form fitting with zippers all over. What you showed were Hammer pants or Harem pants which were barely popular in the 80s. More like 89-90. Two different eras and totally different vibe. I don't know why so many people get this wrong.

For the slang round ... You neglected gag me with a spoon! Lol

Girl that almost said Megadeth because of Mustaine but then saw Lars and realized it was Metallica has been parented well.

I was born in 70's and grew up in 80's, the best decade EVER for music.

Even though they got a few things wrong, I am actually impressed with their knowledge of the 80s. I think they did much better than the millennials/young people react group did on an early show. My faith in anyone younger than a Xennial is being slowly restored!
