Remembering What The 80s Were Like if You Weren't Cool

Hey, nerds!

By Micaela Montaña

Published 6 days ago in Funny

Let us take you back to the 80s, the neon decade that promised everyone a shot at being awesome… unless you were one of us, the proudly uncool.


While MTV kids strutted around like they invented swagger, we were at home programming our Timex Sinclair, taping “Star Trek” reruns, and wondering why our hair refused to defy gravity like everyone else’s. We lived in a world of crooked glasses, tangled joystick cords, and parents who thought a trip to RadioShack counted as “going out.” Our bike had a wobbly wheel, our lunchbox smelled like yesterday’s bologna, and our idea of rebellion was staying up to beat Level 2 on the Commodore 64.


And you know what? It was perfect. Because the uncool kids were the ones who actually remember the 80s: every awkward snapshot, every bad haircut, every glorious, nerd-filled moment. Welcome back. The unpopular crowd has been waiting for you.
