nostalgia

We're all prone to spontaneous fits of nostalgia where we find ourselves mentally entrenched in reliving the days of our youth. You know, the days when you could fearlessly stomp around your home, and then be humbled by the profound pain of a LEGO block that decided to implant itself in your foot? These nostalgic memes are sure to strike some chords. Check out some more nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids over here. 

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.

The good old 1990s. Sure, there were as many massive problems going on during that decade as there were in any other, but to many people growing up back then it was more about beanie babies and delicious-smelling markers than it was about geopolitics. For an extra trip in the ol' time machine, here are some nostalgic junk foods from the 90s.

Times change, and that's probably for the best. The past few decades have seen the rise and fall of clear cola, kids wearing their clothes backwards, and a strange assortment of stupid catch-phrases. While this is all stuff that was kind of flash-in-the-pan, there's tons of other stuff that has been around for way longer than people think.

The junk food we grew up with holds a special place in many of our hearts, like this unhealthy indulgence of fast food nostalgia. The 90s were an interesting time for food. Ketchup was blue, food could be "X-treme" and people were trying to fit sugar into every last discoverable crevice on a piece of cereal. Good times. Here are some nostalgic memes for the 80s and 90s kids.

At some point in their lives, just about everyone has had to feed themselves on almost no money. The recipes we develop can take on a sort of mythic status and carry on a life of their own. From the broke college student to the random kid rooting around their own kitchen, we all develop our own poverty meals. For the exact opposite of this, here's wild examples of rich people being totally out of touch.

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.

The 90s were an amazing time for senseless and gimmicky candies, and it was great. Everyone had a skateboard and no one really knew how to skateboard. They had green ketchup. No one knew what made it green, but the kids in the commercials sure made it seem extremely radical.  Snack companies went as far as basically just giving kids a toothpaste tube filled with neon colored syrup. Here's an unhealthy indulgence of fast food nostalgia, as well as some powerful nostalgic memes.

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. 

Whether it's a product that was never actually effective from the start, a company with a horrible business model, or just a mother of an inconvenience, it is weird that some of these things are still around. For other questionable things, here are things that exist only because people are dumb. For some real specific memories, here's some unhealthy fast food nostalgia.

Students usually don't have anything better to do than be weird, like the ones in this Tumblr post who worshiped a stuffed octopus. It doesn't take too much reminiscing to come across a time when someone at school did something weird as hell. As it turns out, that weirdness extends to awkward moments at high school reunions.

This collection of nostalgic images will take you on a nice trip down memory lane. Never underestimate just how painful it is to step on that one missing LEGO piece. No thank you. 

Ah, yes, sweet nostalgia. The fact that we don't have to get off the computer (internet) anymore while people are using the phone is a true blessing. Or how about not having to type in "www" because the browser was incapable of guessing it? Sometimes, change is a good and welcomed thing.
