80s Music Memes for Gen Xers Rocking Out to the Oldies Station

When I was in high school, I was literally addicted to the 80s radio station. Even though I was birthed into this world at the tail-end of the 1990s, these songs defined my teenage years. One of the most intriguing moments of my 98.7 KLUV era was when my sister and I discovered that our drive to school took up the entire runtime of American Pie. One day, the song began playing on the radio right when we started driving to school. By the time we pulled into my parking space, the tune memorializing Buddy Holly's death finished right as I put the car in park. We tested this theory several times; my sister played the song on her phone while I drove, and our theory was proven every time. If you grew up with 80s music, learned to love it through your parents, or are just getting into it, these 80s music memes won't make today the day the music died.
