8. John Hughes’ Teen Movies
No one’s adolescence is complete without watching a few of John Hughes’ teen movies--or all of them. While he’s written and directed a bunch of movies, none are more of a staple in American youth than the ones that came out in the 80s such as Ferris Bueller’s Day Of, Pretty In Pink, Some Kind of Wonderful, and of course The Breakfast Club. Nothing encapsulated what being a middle class teen teen in America was like more than Hughes’ work in that time.

7. All That Spandex
Why was spandex so popular in the 80s? With the 80s came an aesthetic of bright colors and weird patterns and big hair and for some reason, spandex really fit in with that look. Perhaps it was the steady climb of fitness as a mainstream hobby for women and men alike. If you couldn’t make it to the gym, no worries! Your VHS probably had a fitness video sitting on top of it that would get rewound the next day. People could just pull on those leotards and spandex and work out as much as they wanted in the comfort of their own home. How can we even judge? Athleisure clothes are still fashionable to this day.


6. Creepy Cool Movies
What do you call movies like The Dark Crystal and the most iconic Labyrint? They’re creepy cool, not exactly bright and shiny enough to be considered a totally family friendly movie but also a tad too creepy for little kids to watch by themselves. The Dark Crystal came out in 1982, directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz, showing how far special effects had come in film history. Before heavily used CGI, filmmakers had to rely more on practical effects to make extraordinary things happen on screen. Practical effects like that seen in movies such as Labyrinth took making fantasy movies to a different level.

5. The Time of He-Man
A list about 80s culture is not complete without mentioning He-Man. This character first appeared in a comic book series and then would turn the universe into the more popular animated series that aired on television. The idea was apparently born out of the fact that Mattel wanted a new toy line that could complete with the Star Wars toys being launched (especially since they initially declined the deal to make them prior to the success of the first Star Wars movies, yikes). So then the lead designer of the Mattel Preliminary design department would help make the idea of He-Man come to life.

4. TV Figures In The 80s
With the mid century came the invention of the TV. Since then, it became more and more common to find this device in living rooms, especially in the United States. The 80s was a huge time for TV and so TV figures grew to a new kind of popularity. You’d see people like Mr. T on shows like The A-Team. For older audiences, primetime soap opera Dallas was pretty huge. Then of course there was The Cosby Show which really solidified Bill Cosby’s career (hmm). The top shows of the decade included the Love Boat, The Jeffersons, M*A*S*H, and Murder She Wrote.

3. Girls Dressed Like This
If they weren’t wearing neon spandex, then another “in” look of the day would be the style you would often see on people like Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. The hair had to be big and messy. You wore finger gloves, tight pants, short skirts, corsets, lace, and fishnets. Today, we might refer to this look as the “material girl” look. If you were a material girl, you wore every accessory you could from big earrings, huge bracelets, rings, and hats all at the same time.

2. The 50 Theme
Anytime something is retro, it’s cool, but it has to be a certain amount of years that have passed in order for the trend to come back. In the mid 2000s, the 80s was super popular with it changing to later on. Now, the early 2000s fashion is slowly coming back again. It’s the way fashion works. For the 80s, the big retro aesthetic was the 50s. Did you ever notice how prominent 50s nostalgia was during this time? You saw it in movies like Grease and Back To The Future. People had 50s theme parties all the time. Why was this the case? Maybe because the conservativeness of the 50s and the happy bright aesthetic had some back to mainstream 80s culture.
