80s

While the 80s technically started 40 years ago, it's probably best to not think about that part. The 80s did some things with hair that many people are still just now recovering from. And while it was a time of loud pants filled with questionable butts, there are still things to miss. Here's some powerful nostalgia for the 80s and 90s kids.

Maybe being old nowadays is realizing that you can recall a time in your life when you went through the whole day without taking a picture. Wild stuff. Maybe we were more present in the past. 

This Twitter thread goes all in on the nostalgia. Careful, it might hit you right in the childhood. But hey, it's fun to relive the times of the past, and remember just how far you've come in this long and strange trip. 

There's something special about seeing a product or thing that you haven't thought about once in 20 years. There's something satisfying about those little "a-ha" moments you get from remembering a toy you used to have, a commercial you saw over and over again or seeing a twitter thread that takes a voyage through being in school in the 90s.

Twitter user melmadara led everyone down memory lane with a powerfully nostalgic thread. Anyone near an elementary school somewhere around the 90s will remember the smelly jerseys, stressful multiplication tables, and fruitlessly attempting to use a recorder. For more, here are some nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids as well as some funny 90s life hacks.

Get out the walk man, fiddle with the cords to plug in the SNES and call up the neighbor kids, cause these returned us to a time in our lives that we completely took for granted. To continue chasing the dragon of your own youth, here are some funny nostalgic 90s life hacks. For the more decrepit among us, here's 70s and 80s nostalgia.

If you're just a horrible adult who needs pictures of Christmas morning to revitalize your holiday spirit, then here you go. If your family sucked at Christmas and you just wanna hate on all these kids that got what they wanted, you're free to do that too. Here's some more nostalgia for 80s and 90s kids. Going back further, here are some horrifically weird old-timey Christmas cards.

If you live in a big enough city, you likely have someone you refer to as "mowhawk guy" or "piano lady" or "roller blading guy." In this case we have a guy straight out of a Def Leppard video. If anything, this guy inspires feelings of nostalgia for the 80s and 90s. Every city has its own cast of local eccentrics who dance to the beat of their own drum. In this guy's case, that drum playing hair metal.

Man, remember the old days? Having to wait a whole week for a new episode of your favorite show. Having to rewind a movie after finishing it. Paying money for music. Wait, why did we even like the old days? Huge inconveniences aside, everyone pines for a simpler time that will never happen again. We've got the memories though. For the older folks here's some 70s and 80s nostalgia. And for those who want to live their best 90s life, we've got 90s life hacks.

Man, remember when bacon was a huge thing? There were bacon boardgames, bacon wallets, and bacon flavored soda. It seemed fine at the time, but looking back really makes you question your judgement. We can at least sleep soundly knowing that most of us were dumb teenagers when we fell for these kinds of trends, but it's a trip thinking about crap you were really excited about one day that then dropped off the face of the earth a week later. If this reminded you too much of your past, here are some 90s life hacks for you to live your best 90s life.

Ah, the old days. Back when life was simple. You could take candy from strangers, no one wore seatbelts and teachers could hit kids. Why did things ever change.

If you remember a lot of the things off this list, you might be older than you thought. Gotta say it sounds like a nice era when you could get into all kinds of trouble and not have to worry about it being recorded, and going viral! 

Never underestimate Twitter users and their ability to absolutely ruin a movie as we knew it, by twisting it up with words of creative destruction. These 15 titles will make you cringe and chuckle at the same time. 

These people peeled back the veneer of nostalgia and really looked at what sucked about the times they grew up in.

"No, this will be cool forever. I swear"
