I wish I was alive in the 80's

Great times, thanks for uploading.

A little heartbreaking that so few people dressed properly (and just as much that they weren't properly turned away) but it's hard to pull off in middle age. News to me though that there's enough people like me to merit the term "Neo Romantics" though, aside from a handful of Glam folks and the usual goths, I've only met one other person like me in my city.

Can you go there and meet Steve Strange?? In person? He is so amazing!

[juliajoppien]

Google Berlin Blitz (Spirit of the new romantics) Party. We know how to GLITZ BLITZ over here!

[Shapersofthe80s]

@juliajoppien - Wilkommen Julia, glucklich zu sehen!

[explodingfruit1]

He turned a drunken Mick Jagger away with the excuse, "We do have very strict fire rules". I'm baffled!

[Shapersofthe80s]

@explodingfruit1 - A naked flame could have ignited Jagger's breath. Bang.

Kids look so dull today. Whatever happened to the innovation of British street culture ?

[jrmetmoi]

@dirkbogarde44 Exactly!

[jrmetmoi]

God why can't I be around 45 to 55 years old, man??!!!  :((

[Shapersofthe80s]

@jrmetmoi — Sheesh, J ! Your profile says you're 32. Just wish I could be 32 again so think yourself lucky!

[jrmetmoi]

@Shapersofthe80s Eww! My teen 'nay-day' you know as opposed to an actual heyday?, was the 90s and I hate and dread that it's all coming back into style now. Grunge and the use of guitars wasn't exactly 'ground shaking' to me, yet I hated drum n bass and techno! Bleughh!! I hate lank hair with centre partings where the women look like Neil from The Young Ones & the 90s were all oppressive Nazism of fashion & clothing. All black or all beige, no colour, no glamour and no adornment! Zeig Heil !

It just looks like any old nightclub now..very depressing why bother no point

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

I have to say that I am NOT very impressed with the crowd. They look as DULL as ever. If I could have got there last weekend I would have dressed to the utter extreme.

Comparing to the early footage compared to now is just NO comparison!

[Shapersofthe80s]

@TheNouveauxdecadence - Ouch! Back in the knife drawer, Nouveaux! You've got to remember that we old folk are 30 years the worse for wear and most of us had come in "civvies". The more eye-catching Neo Romantics only turned up towards the end after the TV people had left.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

@TheNouveauxdecadence

I have to say that if I was able to go I would have been VERY dissapointed with the lack of creativity dress wise...

And believe me I am talking about most of the younger looking people there, they look young and so dull, terrible... It's good to know that some dressed up people came along after the cameras came.

[boygeorgebaby84]

@TheNouveauxdecadence I totally agree with you. If I went I would have been WAY WAY WAY WAYYYY MORE dressed up and had tons of creativity. This night was a waste :(

[Canashea]

@TheNouveauxdecadence i agree, they look like they're going to a wake never mind the blitz. cant stand people who dont make the effort especially for a night like that!

[VegasVampire2010]

It was a fantastic night (I'm the blonde with the white contacts at 3.25 !!!)

[onthewingsofskyray]

Likey! thanks!

[Viceroy1073]

Well done ,Good Work!
