Memes to Delight the 1980s Kids in the House

Hey, my fellow 1980s kids! We were, without a doubt, born in the decade that was somehow the best to grow up in, but the absolute worst in so many other ways (fashion, omg).

Not the music, though. I will defend 80s music until the day I die.

If you, too, came of age during this priceless decade, here are 14 images that will take you back to the old days.

14. This will be the single image that describes parenting in the 80s.

My parents didn’t smoke, but I believe I was in the minority.

13. My parents had this alarm clock until I was well out of college.

They really don’t make things like they used to.

12. Close your eyes and inhale deep.

You know you can smell it, too.

11. That old pizza box definitely brought back memories.

And idk how we ever lived not knowing we could rent a certain movie on a Friday night.

10. They were way more likely to be intercepted and read, I can tell you that.

Passing notes was not for the faint of heart.

9. You always assumed they were probably the people moving in next door.

I was never so happy when my parents moved us to a new house and my bedroom was upstairs.

8. She would not hear complaints, either.

Kids today with their princess hairbrushes have it so easy.

7. I think I had blocked out this memory until now.

A picture is worth 1000 words.

6. If you close your eyes you can see the welts, too.

And no, your teacher didn’t care whether it stung.

5. I have never seen anything more 80s in my entire life.

Hasselhoff will never die in our hearts.

4. You hoped it was full of lemonade or Kool-Aid.

It was a bad day when you opened it to find iced tea.

3. That terrifying moment when…

But were you going to slow down? Never.

2. A nearby playground had one of these and I was so excited to try to kill my own kids.

They’ve since removed it I have no idea why!

1. You had better make sure there were no rocks underneath it.

But you always somehow missed one, didn’t you.

Sure, our parents weren’t perfect, but if they had been, there wouldn’t be so many therapists with thriving careers now.

We’re helping the economy. It’s our small contribution to the world.

These Memes Are Keeping the 1980s Alive!

I love the ’80s!

There are some decades that are better off forgotten, some that won’t fade away even if we wanted them to, and then there’s the 1980s – never better forgotten, but also, people who didn’t live through it aren’t quite sure how to handle the excess of bright colors, hairspray, and fun.

If you’re a fellow 80s baby, though, these memes are going to smell like crayons and nostalgia. Just wait and see.

12. They disintegrated a lot faster.

I don’t remember a teacher ever having to take one away, though.

11. Seeing it all in one image is pretty crazy.

Although I’m a woman so all of this doesn’t even begin to fit in my “pockets.”

10. Also, ride in the back of grandpa’s truck years old.

Ah, the wind in your hair and your siblings elbow in your ribs.

9. I like the way it used to be, honestly.

But I will never forgive my mother for perming JUST my bangs.

8. I’m not sure how healthy that made me, but.

Seriously, they were really tasty though.

7. I forgot about these until the moment I saw this picture.

And now I really, really want to find out if they still make them.

6. Soooo many lyrics we’d been singing wrong.

We could have been alternate song writers ourselves.

5. So much better than the plastic crap my kids play on.

Also, I feel like there would be fewer germs outside but I’m not a scientist.

4. You got that repeated busy signal and you knew you were in trouble.

Either that or someone’s older sister had taken over the phone.

3. If by “child” you mean “well into middle school,” yeah.

There was something so soothing about it.

2. And if you weren’t invited omg.

At least there wasn’t the internet to point it out and then make fun of you, too.

1. It’s how you tell the real from the fake.

We’re so cool, y’all. So cool.

 

I could look at pictures like these all day (though I refuse to tease and spray my hair ever again, sorry).

Which of these took you alllllll they way back? Tell us in the comments!
