    If These 33 '80s Girlhood Memes Don’t Hit, You Weren’t There

    Welcome, Gen X ladies. Try explaining the color red to someone who's never seen it, and you'll quickly realize that it's nearly impossible without comparing it to something they already know. Some things, like colors, just have to be experienced to be understood. The same goes for our memories. Unless you were there, in the moment, no explanation can fully capture what it felt like.

    Stranger Things might come close to recreating the 1980s, with all its pop culture nods and retro vibes, but it still can't replicate what it was really like to grow up in that era. How do you describe a world without the internet? The thrill of riding your bike as far as you dared (as long as you made it home before dark)? The awe of seeing Star Wars in theaters for the very first time, with zero spoilers? That's right, you can't.

    If any of that sounds like your childhood, grab your Aquanet, crank up the mixtape, and prove that you're a real 80s kid!
