18 Times ‘80s Designs Were Way Cooler than We’ll Ever Be

If design, pop culture, and music have taught us anything it's that the '80s were absolutely lit.

Thanks to r/80sdesign we've collected some of the dopest designs to come out of the 1980's.

From shopping malls, to airports, to the crazy innovations in technology. The '80s really were a wild time to be alive. Let's not forget the music. You know what kind of music you got to listen to on a cassette player? The best kind.

Although times have changed and trends go out of style, we'll always have a deep appreciation for the decade that gave us Nintendo and Rick Astley.
