Tell us a little about you
Hey my name is Jordan and I am a 80s enthusiast content creator 🙂
How did you get started creating?
I started a few years after I started dressing in 80s clothes. I decided after highschool to begin a tiktok and instagram and never would have expected it to blow up the way it did
What is it about the 80s for you?
The music and movies!!!! Such amazing nostalgia
Earliest memory of liking something 80’s?
Listening to Total Eclipse Of The Heart when I was around 6 years old
What are some funny stories you get when you are filming content in the malls or places like that?
Some people like to photobomb my videos haha. I also get a lot of people asking what I am doing and I have to explain to them what I do. It’s sometimes awkward for me to film in public.
Prettiest retro interiors you’ve seen as you’ve gone places
Definitely dead malls. I love the original architecture and all the neon and fountains
Favorite content to create
Dancing to 80s music videos and mall videos
Favorite content to consume
Makeup videos and comedy
Your top 5 favs in your 80’s collection
Macintosh Plus Computer, Electric Youth Perfume, Movie Scripts, Vintage Radios, and all my 80s books
What do people assume about you being an 80’s creator that isn’t true
People assume I make money on all my videos, which is far from the truth. I only make money when it’s a sponsored video. I have 3 other jobs outside of social media plus I am a full time college student
Fav 80’s
Food: McDonald’s
Band: Poison and Mötley Crüe
Singer: Samantha Fox
Show: Family Ties and Whiz Kids
Cartoon: Jem
Movie: Mannequin
Toy: Singing Gizmo
What 80’s style prediction do you think will come back around soon?
I definitely think the curly hair will come back as well as the pastel outfits
Coolest thing that has happened being on this journey
I have had so many amazing opportunities, but probably being on a couple Australian news channels is probably one of the highlights
You’ve met a lot of celebs – any fun stories?
When I met Samantha Fox at a convention with one of my best friends, she told us that we could stay for as long as we wanted and she would come up to talk with us whenever she had free time. She was so kind and sweet. When I met Matthew Labyorteaux, he thought I looked up things on IMDB before the meeting… nope, I’m just a massive fan who’s read way too many magazines and seen all of his movies and shows.
Where do you hope to be with this journey in 5 years?
I would hope to be doing social media full time or do something in the 80s realm.
What are some overrated 80’s things that you don’t like or don’t get the hype for
Speedos!!!! Like ew no!
Which stores do you wish you could have shopped at
Boscoves, and Blockbuster
A phrase you would leave for a nostalchick
Always be your rad self
