This is one of those videos that could perplex you for eternity. Some questions to be asked include: how is it possible that nearly everyone is dancing? It is daytime, sun is shining and not even a single person looks haggard. Why are there multiple cars on fire and why doesn’t anyone care? It’s like the dancefloor is so awesome that even extreme debauchery just isn’t that interesting. Where‘s the music coming from? Everyone is dancing to the DJ but the DJ is nowhere to be found.. weird! In 89’, why was Marty Mcfly still bothering with the time machine? Surely he would have got more kicks jumping a flight to the UK.

Skateboarder and documentary filmmaker Stacey Peralta’s new film tells the story of The Bones Brigade, the 1980s skate team he created. The team featured a young Tony Hawk, along with other legends like Steve Caballero and Rodney Mullen, and went on to change the way people looked at skateboarding forever.

The whole world of blogging just gets stranger and stranger everyday, but now there’s a Tumblr page dedicated to 80s Muscle, that is: muscly dudes and women from the 80s. Scrolling down the blog takes you on a seemingly endless journey full of protein shaken, steroid taken, ripped and cut muscles. So if you’re a body builder or just a body admirer, we have found the site for you.

This is an infamous piece by 1980s video artist Tom Rubnitz. Mostly associated with the New York drag queen scene, Rubnitz’s Pickle Suprise will freak the hell out of you. But I challenge you not to have it playing over in your brain for the next week.

Surveillance photographs taken by the communist secret police in Czechoslovakia in the 1970s and 80s. Voyeurism at its finest. Here, average citizens were caught on hidden cameras by spies hoping to make arrests. [via Vice]

I must have seen hundreds of photo sets on Flickr, and even though this one doesn’t contain the original work, I’d struggle to find one that evokes such nostalgia. Many an hour was spent searching the Argos catalogue for the latest toys, walkmans, hi-fis and the like. Now we can do it all again.

1980s, why did you fade away. I miss you and your rampant kitschiness. Life is just too damn serious these days. I could do with a sprinkle of fun back on our TV screens. Did I say fun? Oh boy! Watch on and be amazed. Sorry, amused.

Like many other kids who grew up in the 80s, I loved Knight Rider. I wish this Minimates toy version of KITT in super pursuit mode was available back then.

Who didn’t have their own Etch-A-Sketch as a kid. Then we grew up and bought iPhones. Now they’re together, in a winning combination. The Etch-A-Sketch case is made of ABS plastic and designed just like the original. A fun gift idea, indeed.

Big malls. Big mullets. Big double denim. In 1989, Michael Galinsky drove across America and documented malls along the way. He shot about 30 rolls of slide film in malls from Long Island to North Dakota and Seattle.

‘It was hard to tell from the images where they were taken, and that was kind of the point. I was interested in the creeping loss of regional differences’, explains Galinsky. As an incredible time machine, these images only getter better as the years roll by. Galinsky is trying to turn his photos into a book.

Curxes (pronounced ‘curses’) are one of the most exciting new bands you’ll hear all year. Roberta Fidora and Macaulay Hopwood make music that will suck you in, invade your brain, and make you lose sense of time. Their music is somewhere between Depeche Mode and Crystal Castles.

Illustrator Lou Romano has a great vintage style. He has an awesome series of monster portraits inspired by my favorite 80s kids movie, Monster Squad.

The great thing about Lionel Ritchie is that, as his music has aged, so too he’s become the definitive symbol for queasy cultural kitsch. Commodores be dammed. We prefer Hello era Lionel, pouty hips and all.

If Monkey Magic wasn’t the most compelling and intriguing children’s TV series of the 80s, then I don’t know what was. Now, sit back and rejoice in the funky musical richness that was its memorable theme song by Japanese band “Godiego”

Stereolizer is an app that turns your iPad into an ’80s stereo with an interface that includes a radio dial which allows you to access streaming radio all over the world, and a tape deck that you can use to record things: music, messages, radio shows. You can eject ‘tapes’, edit and catalog them, just as you would the analog version.

Forget about the cliche that they don’t make movies like they used to. They don’t make trailers like they used to. Oh please, please, great higher being who controls the keys to the Tardis, transport me back to the 80s, with its saccharine sweet smiles and wide-eyed innocence.

I can’t decide what I miss most about the 80s: the haircuts that always seemed on the verge of toppling over, the colourful knits, or the sense of naive insecurity that permeated every conversation. Oh, the memories. Now, ladies, take your pick from this remarkable smorgasbord above.

The recently finished Future Beauty, at the Barbican in London, was the first exhibition in Europe to comprehensively explore avant-garde Japanese fashion, from the early 1980s to the present.

Japanese designers have had a huge impact on world fashion. Visionaries such as Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto redefined the basis of fashion, challenging Western concepts of beauty to transform their garments into art.

The exhibition delved into the correlation between Japanese art, culture, costume history and fashion. Curated by Akiko Fukai, Director of the Kyoto Costume Institute, and designed by architect Sou Fujimoto, the show brought together over 100 garments from the last three decades.
