A wholesome trend on TikTok is showcasing how our parents enjoyed dancing to music in the ’80s and its amassing millions of views.
The #80sdancechallenge went viral after kids started asking their parents to show them how to dance to a catchy ’80s beat.
The trend is not only educating newer generations on the grooves of the ’80s but also making ’80s kids nostalgic for the era they grew up in.
On one TikTok video, someone commented, “Damnit I’m crying again every one of these videos gets me.”
“My favorite thing about this trend is you can see their smiles getting bigger the more they dance,” someone else wrote in the comments.
“I love this trend. It’s like you can see the young woman come back to them. Beautiful,” one person said.
