My dad had a CB radio when they were huge. He went to supermarkets all over CT as a wholesaler and it might've helped with getting him on the quickest route between stores.

"Funky Cold Medina"  by Tone Loc: "This is the 80s and I'm down with the ladies..."
"Wild Wild West"  by Escape Club: "Headed for the 90s, living in the 80s..."
"Back That Thang Up"  by Juvenile: "Cash Money takin' over from the nine nine to the 2000s..."

And how can we forget "Beepers"  by Sir Mix-A-Lot? I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a beeper.

Ben Folds' "Late" has the line "I put the Walkman on" when the Walkman hasn't existed in about a decade.

I had a digital Walkman (no disc nor tape) earlier this decade. It ran a much older version of Android (4, Ice Cream Sandwich).

What I meant is that they didn't stop existing.  People still have them.  You can buy them on eBay.

And sellers have jacked up the prices on them. I saw Sony Walkmans being so for nearly or even over $200. I used to buy them for less than $30 in the 90s.
