Neon lights, big hair, dinosaur lunchboxes, and flashy sneakers were the talk of the town in the 80s. Living through an era of such vibrance and unplugged rawness ruined Gen X and every other generation for the rest of their lives, because now, all we want to do is hop in a Delorean and go back in time to our favorite era: the 1980s.

  • Playing 2-bit video games in the arcade with our friends, with synth pop blasting over the speakers, was an era of peak amusement. No phones, no responsibilities… Just a pocket full of quarters and a bag of Trolli gummy worms was enough to sustain us back in those days. Nostalgia is a funny thing. They say that looking back on the past always gives it a rosy, untruthful glow, but in the case of the '80s, that rosy glow is entirely organic, and it's from the trendy fashion goggles we were wearing out in public. 

    Cars were cooler, clothes we acid-washed and bright, and the vibes were epic without a cellphone in sight.
