The ’80s were loud, weird, and somehow perfect. A decade where safety was optional, fashion was neon on neon, and every childhood memory comes with a synth soundtrack.
If you grew up in that era, these photos will hit instantly—like muscle memory triggered by the smell of plastic lunchboxes and the sound of a VHS ejecting.
From awkward haircuts and questionable toy designs to the unmatched freedom of disappearing on a bike all day with no phone, this collection captures the chaotic, charming energy of growing up Gen X.
It’s nostalgia with rough edges—and that’s exactly how we like it.
