Cor Memories Podcast: Young Love & 80s Crushes

Corey Chapman

The 1980s… A decade of neon colors, mixtapes, and Friday nights at the roller rink. It was a time before smartphones and social media, when a folded-up note passed in class could make your heart race, and the sight of your crush at the arcade felt like destiny.

Young love in the '80s was something magical, wasn’t it? It was innocent, awkward, and beautifully simple. A glance across the cafeteria, a slow dance at the school gym, or waiting by the landline hoping they'd call. Back then, love was written in spiral-bound notebooks and spelled out in mixtape tracklists.

On this episode, we’re diving deep into those memories—first crushes, awkward confessions, and the unforgettable butterflies of growing up in the era of big hair and even bigger feelings. So, pop in your favorite cassette, grab a can of New Coke, and get ready to travel back to a time when love was as radical as a walkman on full volume.
