Time To Be Teleported To The Good Ol' Days With 22 Things Kids Today Will Never Understand

Madonna, Seinfeld, phone booths, making abominable mixtapes, your parents answering your crush's call before you do….

All the wonders that the kids of 2025 will never understand… and boy, do we pity them. (I am them!)

Those were simpler times when we actually had to sit face-to-face with the people around us and engage in that strange thing, I think it's called "a conversation," ahhh scary! We couldn't escape into our phones, we would have to remember phone numbers by heart and memorize road maps that don't even predict the traffic! Sounds exciting, doesn't it?

In honor of the good-ol'-days, we've curated 22 Gen X-coded elements of daily life that kids today would probably laugh at and ask: 'Hey, Dad, What's that box at the back of the TV?"

Will they ever understand the effect of Patrick Swayze, and the fact that no one EVER puts Baby in a corner… (cue sobs). All we can do is try to help with that!

Please sit back and enjoy being transported to a time without sliding into someone's DMs or texting your friend who's sitting right next to you!
A time of ‘peace, love and freedom’, where our biggest problems would be making sure we never missed our 9 p.m. show, because babe, there is no rewind button…but today, there is one and we're about to press it! Let's go…
