26 Totally Tubular Gen X Nostalgia Memes That Only True 80s Girls Will Understand (February 20, 2025)

Welcome, Latchkey Generation ladies. What do you miss the most about growing up in the 80s and 90s? You could say that contemporary fashion is basically just a rehashing of your childhood trends. Mom jeans are in, every cool Gen Z has a pair of dirty, white Reeboks or Adidas Superstars, and scrunchies are having another major moment. Personally, I'm still waiting for leotards and legwarmers to come back as acceptable gymwear before I commit to working out.

80s music never really got old, but even if you exclusively listen to modern radio, plenty of musicians that are in the limelight right now are giving 80s vibes with synthy music. See Harry Styles's "As It Was," for example. 

In a way, the 80s never truly went away. However, there are some details that you just had to have been there to really "get it." No matter how many times I watch Back to the Future, I will never know the taste of Mr. T cereal, the feeling of making a call from a phone booth, or the smell of Aqua Net hairspray the way my mother did. Scroll down for memes to unlock more memories.
