*Indahmawar Fazmarai finds an old video tape and feels the need to share it for some unknown reason*

Spain, 1981. A heavy music band had a sudden hit and they jokingly made a videoclip for it, in their very own way, filming ordinary stuff and places in their hometown (Vallecas, in Madrid).

I actually grew in a country that looked like this until the mid-80s...

Ob+¦s - video clip for "Va a estallar el ob+¦s" (1981)

So castizo, that begining. Are you from Madrid as well? That video does bring memories of growing up in the 80s, though I'm from Moncloa, so I used to go to the underworld of jevi bars at Los Bajos de Arg++elles / Aurrer+í during their glory days ... such a wild chaotic urban zoo, drenched in smoke, riffs and cheap beer, I miss those days.

I still live around the area, but Los Bajos have been cleaned and sanitized for many years now - hell, they even put a police station there. Cops and bars don't mix well. *eyes dart around* No Concord at the Greater Fool Bar, I believe? *takes a long slow drag*

Not Madrid, completely. Barcelona instead. But those places in the video don't look different than the place where i grew. I have memories of going to the beach by taking a bus, then going to the railway tracks, then walk on a railroad bridge over a sewer pipe, then cross some waste grounds and then eventually reach the beach... with dirty sand and then bath keeping an eye on whatever the waves could bring ashore.

Tha was just 30 years ago. As the meme song goes, Crec+¡ en los 80 (y sobreviv+¡)

Woah... explosi+¦n de nostalgia, awesome!

(As an anecdote: us Spaniards growing up with those Conguitos ads may take them for granted, but a few years ago some USians I know came across them, and thought they were incredibly racist and offensive It's funny how our cultural backgrounds shape our perceptions)

Ah thank you
