'Kids today will never know': Unlock 80s Memories with 25 Throwback Posts from Your Girlhood

Welcome, fellow 80s survivors. Remember when you could leave your house with nothing but your bike, a Walkman, a pocket full of quarters, and not have to communicate with anyone until the streelights flickered on? These were the golden years, back when a "social network" was literally just your friends down the block, and the only real drama you had to deal with was who showed up at the roller rink. Growing up in the 80s meant total freedom. No one was tracking your every move, you didn't have to worry about some random uploading your most embarassing moments for the world to see, and your creative fashion experiments in the form of massively teased hair and leg warmers were for you and your memories alone. 

Gen X, this is your time to celebrate. Scroll down for memes that capture the chaos, the joy, and the total lack of adult supervision that defined our youth. If you lived through it, you'll laugh, you'll cringe, and you'll remember exactly how amazing it was to grow up in the absolute best decade: the 80s.
