But those are so specifically old that they’re used ironically or as a joke. And sometimes that happens enough that they get unironically re-injected into local slang.
This happened around here with “cool beans” lol.
Whatcha doing today? Workin’ on the truck. Cool beans. We were gonna run into town for a box of beer, you in?
I think you’d be looking more for 80s ninja-turtles style slang like “radical”, “gnarly”, etc. Or overuse of stale slang like “yeet”
Amusingly even “radical” can still be relevant as an adjective to describe an 80s retro vibe now. Slang and the relative cringe levels of it are pretty bizarre.

I would also submit “BITCHIN’” as one of those that can be taken out of long-term storage, for special occasions.
