If you have cable, see if you get VH1 Classic. In particular, they have a show called We Are the 80s.

What ^ and ^^ said. :)
Youtube also has tons of '80s videos (I've watched tons in the last few months, lol). I know how ya feel, though. I also taped alot of stuff from VH1 as a kid in the early '90s (1992 VH1 was sorta like 1984 MTV as far as song selection), and alot of it has since gotten lost/taped over, etc.

There's a new 3 DVD set from the "Pure 80s" series titled "Pure 80s: The Ultimate DVD Box" with 45 popular (and lesser known) music videos from the '80's 8) :D
Good, Bad, and Cheesy

Oh, you see that all the time, and have for decades.
You know you are old when the music you listened to in High School is now played on "Oldies" stations!
When I lived in LA, K-Earth 101 was the local "oldies" station. In the 1980's, it played music from the 1950's and 1960's. I would turn it on from time to time, when I was all worn out with head-banging music, or New Wave.
Right before I left LA in 2003, I discovered that among their newest additions were The Police, Hall & Oates, and Duran-Duran. Believe me, that made me feel old!
I agree with what was said earlier though, You Tube and VH1 Classic. MTV2 also plays the older music from time to time.

What if it was already "oldies" or near oldies when you were in high school several years ago (Class of 2000)? ;) Not everyone is obsessed with what's popular just because they're 14-17/18.
I'm one of those people who stuck with the '80s all throughout the '90s (even though I love the '90s too).
Commercials just play songs that are similar to the product and/or if the people in charge just liked it. I don't think it's got anything to do with it always being stuck in the past 35 year-olds playing the music they listened to twenty years ago when they were 15 (though that is the basis for it sometimes).
Just last year, they played Collective Soul's new single "Better Now" on kelloggs cereal commercials. There's now a car commercial (I forget which) that has Sheryl Crow's "Everyday is a Winding Road". That was only nine years ago from 1997.
