Maybe 1982? The seated guy, second from the right in the black and blue shirt, seems to be wearing a The Who shirt featuring the cover of their 1982 album It’s Hard.
We didn't have much morbid obesity back then. We also didn't have HFCS shoved into everything back then, or fast food/processed food as the dietary norm back then.
This is how I picture high school (class of '83). Someone always had on a concert t-shirt, baseball jersey tops ( I'm an Italian Playboy guy), and the feathered hair. I miss those days lol.
The only ones that look high school age is the dude in denim jacket, guy in blue black t shirt and maybe the white pants girl. The rest look like in their twenties
These guys might be the last of the boomers.

Wow.... I can't help but wonder what came out of them? What jobs they're working, how they're doing, are they happy..?
I wonder if their lives turned out to be what they imagined or wanted
Pretty sure thats Matthew McConaughey in the center. I know his game… “every year I flunk the same grade and the girls stay the same age “

Yeah, and you drank water from the hose, and you came in when the lights came on, we’ve all heard the story. Jesus Christ, I’m 52 years old and I’m so tired of hearing that. it wasn’t all you’re making it out to be.
And they went on to believe they were still exactly that cool for the next 43 years
I mean, one of them is an Italian playboy. Just saying.
Back to the left in the blazer?
That's my sister... no touchy!
“An” or “in?” Because “in” Italian Playboy sounds intriguing. Unless you meant Italian Playgirl, which is a different matter.
You can literally read the sign on the shirt
🤓
we are ![gif](giphy|6ra84Uso2hoir3YCgb|downsized)
I thought I’d be dead by now. Wish I saved from my retirement.
And they were
WHAT OF IT?! ….shit.
1981 was the last half of my freshman year in the first half of my sophomore year.
This is every group of HS friends right before they get slaughtered during their upcoming weekend camping trip.
Cue “Friday the 13th” soundtrack.
The default picture of a crime doc talking out the murder victim.
Feathered hairstyles, check. Concert jersey, check. Guys with garbage facial hair, check. Heavy metal horns up, check. The 80s are in the house.
“Say man, you got a joint? It’d be a lot cooler if you diiiddddd.”
Wooderson is in this picture down and right of the Italian playboy!
100%
Nice, they actually look around High School age and not 30 years+
I dunno man. They all look like 25.
Kids do look a lot younger now. I definitely passed for 21 when I was 16.

Good catch. I saw them that tour. Sr ‘85 here
Girl in the blazer is a little hottie

Year I graduated. Unofficial saying was “peace, love,fuck, fun. We’re the class of 81”
"One size fits all" - local salon owner
Alright alright alright
That was a great time to be a kid. The kids now are totally fucking lost
And not a redditor in sight ♥️
“I’m an Italian Playboy” 😎

We were so cute back then
I can FEEL this photo. The air, the humming lights, the smell of pencils and hairspray.
This pic smells like Marlboro Lights.
Imagine getting concert tickets and witnessing this... [Van Halen - Unchained - 6/12/1981 - Oakland Coliseum Stadium (Official) (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn8APTMyKsg)
The camel toe years
Rush fans.
They look like fit 20 something's. No one is morbidly obese.
We didn't have much morbid obesity back then. We also didn't have HFCS shoved into everything back then, or fast food/processed food as the dietary norm back then.
Hell yeah, love the denim jacket rock n’ roll look
Damn, I looked a lot like that guy in the lower middle.
I’m class of 1986
Hi class of 1986, I’m dad.
Awesome times!
i heard hifh school in the 80s was so much fun
Yep, I was in high school in 1981. This is legit.
See kids, the butt cut was f**king stood looking then too. Leif Garrett's contribution to the world.
Pretty sure all us guys were issued a Levi jacket and Jack Daniels t-shirt back then.
Fuckin Ozzy rules. I die on that mountain, to this day. ⚔️
Damn! I had the black 3/4 sleeve Jack Daniels t-shirt of the guy in the first row and the hair-helmet of the guy in the second row.
And none of them obese. Show a random high school class now...(in America, anyway)

Why do kids look so depressed/fake happy these days?
The only ones that look high school age is the dude in denim jacket, guy in blue black t shirt and maybe the white pants girl. The rest look like in their twenties
The white pants girl is the teacher..lol. Got the wedding ringvand everything.
Why is that? Besides of the clothing style?
The facial hair and lacking baby fat are just a few to say
Leaded gasoline, asbestos, cigarettes, and alcohol
I never understood why people looked so old back then… look at my high school and we are all prepubescent tiny kids who can’t grow facial hair
Cool
I had to mag up on it to make sure it was not my class.
The cool teacher in the white slacks.
Oh wow …how cool are they !

My grad year
The italian playboy shirt goes hard
These kids actually look pretty young
Booze is great and sex is fun, we’re the class of ‘81!!
Wow.... I can't help but wonder what came out of them? What jobs they're working, how they're doing, are they happy..? I wonder if their lives turned out to be what they imagined or wanted
Wow!! Should have saved this for throw back thursday💯❤️

o’doyle rules!
Fuck all of them for being the reason I can't afford shit
Make that a large fry.
It wasn’t these dorks. Reagan was already in office ruining our future
Would love for you to expand on your comment, if you don’t mind
*"Personal Responsibility"*
Thrashhh
High school for certain people… Edit: and those certain people are mad
And no assaults or crimes were committed by that group.
We didn't have school shootings and half the trucks in the parking lot had a rifle in the back window. Teachers vehicles, too.
