CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A new AI-powered retro trend is rapidly going viral on social media, taking celebrities, politicians and ordinary users back to the style of the 1980s. Known as the “80s Trend,” it uses artificial intelligence to transform modern photographs into vintage-style portraits featuring period clothing, hairstyles, accessories, warm lighting and grainy film textures.
The trend has gained attention after several prominent public figures joined the viral wave. Union Minister Piyush Goyal shared an AI-generated 1980s-style image, while other political figures, including Rahul Gandhi, Kiren Rijiju, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Anurag Thakur, have also appeared in retro avatars. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s AI-generated 80s look has also attracted attention online.
The appeal of the trend lies in its combination of artificial intelligence and nostalgia. Users can transform their photographs while retaining their facial identity, with AI changing the clothing, hairstyle, background, lighting and overall photographic appearance to resemble an old family album or classic Bollywood portrait.
The viral trend demonstrates how AI-generated imagery is becoming an increasingly popular form of social-media expression, allowing users to revisit a nostalgic era through modern technology.
