A phrase used to reference an object/person/event in a way that appears to be "out of date". It is a polite way to tell someone there music/hair/car/wardrobe/home electronics/home furnishings are TERRIBLE and they need new ones!
Glenn: Dude,look at that chick over by the bar,she is HOT!

Longo: DUDE, look at her hair, she is "Real 80s" man. Those jeans she has on, in San Diego you never see that style, that's "Real 80s".

Get the Real 80s mug.
A graffiti writer that painted a little bit for a couple of years in the late 1980s. Returned to the scene to show everyone who’s boss during a midlife crisis demanding the respect of a graffiti king. Will use old school rules when it suits him. Hates street art. Gets pleasure from painting violent and abusive threats in childrens’ play parks. Internet troll and alcohol fuelled keyboard warrior. Must have an Instagram account to gain validation from strangers. Will not write within his postcode. Will put up the names of his pets to make it look like he has an army.
Person 1: Someone painted over that lovely mural at the park with some hideous unreadable bubble letters.
Person 2: Yeah, it must have been a ‘Real 80s Writer’!
