Before we enter the new year, let's travel back in time to 1993—those halcyon days of cigarette billboards, smartphone-free sidewalk walking, shoulder pads, and rat-tail haircuts—in pristine, HD footage.
And now you can get another chance to transport back to those halcyon days of cigarette billboards and smartphone-free sidewalk walking with the video below, shot in gorgeous HD.
If you're wondering how a video of this quality—in HD!—existed over 20 years ago, the uploader explains:"In 2002 D-Theater D-VHS launched in the US—the dealers needed a demo tape of HD footage. JVC reused some HD video that had been shot as a demo for the Japanese HD market back in 1993." Among the highlights: a Hell's Angel putting his hand on the camera on Third Avenue around 1:42; a stroll down the old St. Mark's around 1:45; the vintage taxi cabs around 2:04; the multiple giant Camel ads in Times Square around 4:10; and the greatest moment of them all, when the man with the rat-tail haircut checks out a woman in a crowd around :59.
