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

Part of what defines a Gen Xer is that they got to experience the 80s during their youth – that could mean anywhere from early childhood for the youngest Gen Xers to adolesence for the older ones. Naturally, the generation has become exclusively associated with the 80s – which was arguably the best decade to be alive! However, plenty of people from the Gen X generation also got to experience much of the 70s, and every single last one of them was still very much a youth in the 90s – the second best decade to be alive! 

And of course, every Gen X lady feasting their eyes on this collection of memes had to live through whatever weird cultural shifts have been going on since the 2000s. Certainly you'd all know best that nothing has ever quite measured up to the 80s. It's not just childhood nostalgia, either. Honestly, it's probably measurable in some scientific way. Since I am no scientist, all I have to offer are the totally tubular and nostalgic memes that will send you on a trip down memory lane!
