Relive the Glory Days With These 31 Throwbacks Every 80s and 90s Kid Will Love

Ever catch yourself daydreaming about the "simpler times"? I definitely do, and honestly, it's hilarious—because those times were anything but simple! Think about it: Back in the day, if you wanted to know something, you'd have to navigate the dusty labyrinth known as the library. Our TVs weighed about as much as a small elephant, and changing channels required getting up (the horror!). Air conditioning was a luxury reserved for shopping malls, and secondhand smoke was practically part of the food pyramid. Oh, and let's not forget carrying those CRT TVs—they weren't tech, they were furniture workouts!

Now, everything is slick, smooth, and effortless. Answers are a click away, movies stream directly to our couch-bound selves, our homes practically regulate their own climate, and smoky restaurants are ancient history. So why, amidst all this convenience, are we still tired, stressed, and nostalgic for those "good old" tough days? Is adulthood just hitting us hard, or has modern convenience secretly turned us into marshmallows?

While you ponder your own existence, take a minute to scroll through these memes and moments from your childhood and try to relax because we really have it easy these days, we just forgot how to take it easy.
