In this trend, AI makes any current photo look like a photo from the 80s era. In this, clothes, hairstyle, background, lighting, color tone and film grain are changed while maintaining the identity of the face. This is why the photos look like old family albums or photoshoots from 80s film magazines.
Who among the leaders adopted the trend?
Among the political faces whose pictures first came into discussion, the name of Union Minister Piyush Goyal is prominent. He shared an AI-generated 80s look, in which he was seen in a gray suit, white shirt and aviator sunglasses. The photo was given a sepia tone and film grain to make it look like an old studio portrait.
After this Kiren Rijiju also joined this trend. His AI look showed him standing near an old car with a blazer, open shirt and sunglasses. Rijiju also posted on the return of the 80s in a humorous manner.
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma also shared his AI retro avatar. His picture showed an 80s suit and sunglasses look. He shared it on social media linking it with nostalgia.

The world of cricket and sports is also not behind
The effect of this trend was also visible in the sports world. Irfan Pathan shared several AI-generated retro pictures.

Why is the 80s AI trend so viral?
The biggest feature of this trend is that it is not just an old filter. The AI recreates the entire visuals of the photo in a 80s style. Elements like big and thick hair, curly hairstyles, old fashion clothes, aviator glasses, statement jewelry, vintage cars, warm lighting and film grain make the photo completely retro. That's why people are turning their usual selfies into the style of an 80s Bollywood star, an old magazine cover photo, a disco era portrait or an old family album.

You can also create 80s AI photo with this prompt
Upload your clear, well-lit photo to ChatGPT and provide instructions like this:
“Reimagine this image as a glamorous 1980s Indian film portrait. Retain the subject's recognizable facial features and natural skin tone. Add voluminous softly curled hair, an authentic 1980s outfit, statement jewellery, warm studio lighting, cinematic colors and subtle vintage film grain. Make the image realistic, elegant and natural.”
After this, you can give different instructions as per the need like, “make it look like an old Bollywood magazine cover”, “give it a vintage wedding album look” or “create an authentic 1980s disco-era portrait.”
In this way, this trend of 80s has become not just a photo filter but a combination of AI, fashion and nostalgia, in which politicians, actors, players and common social media users are all returning to the old era in their own style.
