80s Culture

80s rubix cubeWhether we were phoning home or defending the world against evil with GI Joe figurines, the pop culture of the 80s truly defined the era. Between the world's obsession with the Cold War and scandals like the Iran Contra Affair that rocked the globe, it's a wonder we had time for any fun at all.

Ironically, fun was what the 80s were all about. Not only did we rock out with our leggings and My Little Ponies, but the pop culture of the 80s brought us hours of fun-induced headaches with Rubik's Cube and competitive hair teasing. By the power of Greyskull, we HAD the power, and most of all, we wanted our MTV.

 

Whether you're still trying to clear the last level on Pac-Man or desperately trying to achieve the super-cool Sonny Crockett look, here at Like Totally 80s, we have all the pop culture references you need to go back . . . back to the future. So wind your Swatch watch, fill your mouth with Pop Rocks and Coke, and get ready to take roll. Bueller . . . Bueller . . . Bueller . . .
