We're Live — Welcome to Relive The 80s

After years of planning, Relive The 80s is officially live. Welcome.

This site is built for one audience: Gen X. If you grew up in the 1980s — watching Dallas on Friday nights, memorizing every lyric on your cassette Walkman, and arguing about whether Atari or Commodore 64 was better — you're home.

What We Do

Every week, we publish This Week in the 80s — a deep dive into what was happening across the entire decade during that same calendar week. Music charts, box office hits, primetime TV, and the news stories that shaped the decade.

Every show, every song, every film comes with a Where to Watch link so you can relive it tonight — not just read about it.

The Gen X T-Shirt Store

We've also launched the Gen X T-Shirt Store. Pick your birth year — 1965 through 1980 — and get a limited-edition tee that says exactly when you showed up.

Become a Founding Member

We're offering a Founding Member tier — a one-time $180 payment for lifetime access to everything on this site. No monthly fees, no renewals, no price increases. Ever. Limited to the first 100 members.

If you've been waiting for a reason to commit — this is it. Once those 100 spots are gone, the Founding Member price is gone with them.

Let's Go

The first weekly post — This Week in the 80s: April 21–27 — is live now. New Coke, Beetlejuice, Dallas, and the Billboard charts from every spring of the decade.
