37 Gen X Memes for 80's Kids Raised on Hose Water (April 17, 2024)

Growing up in the 80s was a riotous time. Hair was big, clothes were flashy, and everyone had something to prove. For us kids, growing up in the 80s was more about finding which parking lots were the best to hang out in, copping a smoke from the high schoolers on our lunch break, and showing our nemesis that we were better at climbing trees. We waited in line outside of Blockbuster, got chore lists from our parents when we came home from school and matured into independent 30-year-olds by the age of 10. Kids nowadays will never understand the practical skills of reassembling a gutted tape using the likes of a pencil or how epic it was when you got to stay home sick from school to watch MacGyver. 

Life was simple back then and that's how we liked it. So scroll onward if you want a little blast from the past into the good ol' days when the Otter Pops were fresh and the baseball cards were cool.
