Memphis style: squiggles and random flat shapes, swimming through static patterns; bold colors contrast with softer pastels, set off by thick black geometry. . .and some more squiggles.


Inspired all kinds of things and obviously planted itself subliminally in heads, like the 'Look' pattern 59608
 
Memphis design would show up in various ad campaigns and movies like Ruthless People so that, combined with it’s constant exposure on MTV, was making it more commonplace in the culture. A huge movement for Memphis design that cemented as an ‘80s aesthetic, especially for kids, came in 1986 and a wacky new kids show;
Pee Wees Playhouse.
and also Saved by the Bell intro featured lots of it
 
An obvious iconic movie that came out in the late ‘80s and made sure to embrace all things Memphis. It’s most notable in the Cafe ‘80s in the year 2015. Even though the movie was made during that time period they were aware to make a “novelty restaurant” in the future completely embrace this Memphis style.
The whole Cafe ‘80s scene is a perfect snapshot of the Memphis style.
