Here is the whole Journey i made to get the Pic i want.... it have over 150 Inpaints and worked over 3 Days to get it in perfection.

This picture took me on a journey through my childhood. Most people remember the wild hairstyles, glamour, and disco of the 80s. I grew up with U2, Queen, and many comics. For me, this was a decade where creativity played a significant role. Today, I can no longer identify with what is happening, and I hope to find many who share similar memories. Maybe you would like to sit in front of this picture and listen to U2's "Where the Streets Have No Name," then maybe you will understand my motives.

It was truly an emotional journey, I could have done more on the walls, I had many ideas, but it was mentally challenging, it was a great time... in the mind of a child... Those who were already adults at that time will not see it the same way as I do, I was a little kid, going to school, my first cassettes, my first Game Boy... the first influences of technology... in Europe, the thinking was different, the American disco and glamour, I didn't really feel that, especially when you live in Austria like me... we see our big brothers like Germany or England... the big wall there in the north in Berlin. It is interesting to see how creative people can show their freedom when they have feelings of war nearby. Today, we feel too good, we are not afraid... we are losing more and more empathy and creativity. We hate people who want to change the world, we laugh at them. The media made them that way. I was in Berlin at Alexanderplatz when I was 18 and I was there again at 38... the difference is enormous. When I was 18, there were punks, homeless people, police, graffiti, the underground was dirty, artists on every corner, making pictures, making music... now I was there again... I only see franchise companies, Apple, Adidas, Nike, etc., they have destroyed creativity with their stores. One store after another... I was tired yesterday, I will also include this text with the picture... to explain a bit what I want to show with the picture. Thank you, RumbrandtAI, for your text and the motivation to write more of my thoughts.

I wanna thank spidervector too, we were brainstorming about this time, like a hypnose, bringing the smell back, he remebered the Gaming Halls, the Kids playing there... Thank you again... you have a big Part of this Picture too
