25 Totally Tubular Gen X Nostalgia Memes That Only True 80s Girls Will Understand (March 4, 2025)

You wake up one morning, and you realize that it's the 80s – what's the first thing you do? You are in a frilly nightgown in your childhood bedroom. Magazine posters are scattered all over the walls, featuring photos of all your 80s celebrity crushes. A young Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, and Christian Slater peer at you from across the room and ceiling. They are not the only ones watching. A Pillow Person sits contentedly from your vanity chair, and a collection of troll dolls greets you from the windowsill. 

Most people in this situation would immediately make for the living room and hug their childhood pets and a younger version of their parents and siblings. Many might even scare their family a bit by suddenly urging them to invest in Apple and Microsoft. Nostalgic gourmands might go straight for the fridge, reaching for discontinued snacks that now only exist in their memories. Whether you'd choose to relive your childhood or capitalize on the stock market with your prescient knowledge, scroll down below for some nostaglic memes to give you some ideas in case you ever find yourself in the 80s again.
