    This video went viral on Reddit this week. It's super long, but fascinating to watch. Closest thing to a time machine you'll ever see.

    It was recorded in April 1990 at GC Scarborough High School in HISD.

    Anyone on the BBS actually go to this school?

    So many mullets. So much hairspray.

    "Ugh, turn the camera off Josh!"

    Poor Josh, he seemed like the dork that everyone knew and didn't love.

    Josh probably came from money to be walking around with a camcorder of that quality in the 1990s.
    Unless it was the school's.

    We did something like this in the 1990s and early 2000s. We would play the footage before and after morning announcements. I am surprised that our HS had a TV station the more that I think about it...

    Someone in the video asked him how much it cost. $750 (1990 dollars).

    Ahh those were the days. It was so much easier to commit crimes back then. DNA was limited, there were no cell phone cameras and the state didn't have cameras set up on the highways. So much easier to conceal your identity and people were more innocent and gullible.

    Saw these vids 2-3 years ago. He use to have some good ones of Memorial and Northwest Mall but they've since been taken down for copyright infringement for some reason.
