25 Totally Tubular Gen X Nostalgia Memes That Only True 80s Girls Will Understand (May 7, 2025)

Welcome, Gen X ladies of the internet. The further that you move away from your childhood, the murkier the memories seem to become. This is just unfortunately how human memory works. However, if you grew up in the 80s, it's pretty hard to forget the amazing memories that you made in your youth. They say that sound and smell are strongly linked to memory, and because 80s music is still a huge part of the cultural zeitgeist, you are always one melody away from taking a walk down memory lane. 

If your ears are not super atuned to recalling memories from music, and you are more of a visual person, movies and TV shows nowadays are filled to the brim with callbacks to iconic scenes from 80s movies. Furthermore, the internet is filled to the brim with images of your favorite childhood toys and snacks. Even if you won't be tasting the pudding pops of your childhood again any time soon, you can still come across them on the World Wide Web. If you want to stir up old memories, scroll down below for some nostalgic Gen X memes!
