Before we dig into the post – special thanks to Monica Cheville (aka Palisded) for the photos!

The Horse Girl / Depeche Mode Fan

Horse girl, or Depeche Mode fan – why not both? This teen seems to be in a transition from pink to black, and we absolutely love it. The clothes pile on the bed also encapsulates a lot my personal teenage years – a certain experience I’m sure we’ve all shared!

The OG Synthesizer Nerd

This kid was sporting some serious gear for the time. Maybe not a teen at all? Who knows – it’s lost to time. I wonder if they still have any original tracks floating about? That gear would probably be worth a pretty penny nowadays too! (What kind of synthesizers are those, anyway? Let us know in the comments!)

The Cure, Car, and Pinup Girl Guy

Ah, how we miss those woodgrain panel walls. This retro attic bedroom is chock-full of so many teen boy stereotypes it’s hard to focus in on one to comment on. The CRT monitors? The VHS tapes? The (likely stolen) traffic cone? I love it.

The Duran Duran Shrine

Some is a little obsessed with Duran Duran! That’s okay, they’re awesome! I wonder if they still listen to them….

The 80s Art Geek

Was your bedroom covered in art? Mine sure was. Some thing never change over time – it’s hard to pick out all the different references here, but the chair style and tube tv really give away this was most definitely an 80s bedroom.

Is That a Cat in That Box?

For our last image, we have yet another Duran Duran fan (thought a little more sensible this time) – and a beautiful little kitty in a shoebox. We would love to see what was out of frame for this one – I bet the rest of that bedroom is rad!
