25 Totally Tubular Gen X Nostalgia Memes That Only True 80s Girls Will Understand

Welcome, dudettes. What do Gen Z and younger Millennials think of when they think of the 80s? Thanks to popular media, the 80s recently had a well-deserved comeback, painting a pretty good picture of life back in the day for today's youngsters. However, they still probably think of windbreakers, neon lights, leg warmers, big, teased hair, leotards, and the satanic panic! Well, they wouldn't be wrong. The 80s certainly did have those things - and much more! While Stranger Things does do a pretty good job of capturing the vibe of the 1980s, and a huge portion of today's youth has seen 80s classics like Back to the Future and The Breakfast Club, there is no way to explain to anyone who wasn't there what exactly that one, scented Strawberry Shortcake doll smelled like - it certainly wasn't strawberries! Unlock specific childhood memories by scrolling down and looking through the nostalgic memes below!
