Everyone thinks that when they were young was the best decade that ever happened. As a child of the 80s and 90s, I am here to tell you that only one group is right, and it’s us. The 80s and 90s really were an amazing time: giant hair, boy bands, Brendan Fraser in his prime. What’s not to like? We’ve gathered memes and images from around the web to prove to you that the 80s and 90s really were the best of all possible decades. Read on to see if you agree or if we’re just looking back with nostalgia-tinted glasses.
#1: If You Know What This Is, You Were Born in the Right Generation
Kids today will never know how easy they have it when it comes to taking pictures. In my day, you had to buy rolls of film, which was expensive, and carefully put the film in your camera without exposing too much of it to the sunlight (which would lead to that portion of the film being unusable).
And after you had taken a picture on your terrible cheap point-and-shoot camera, you had no way to tell if it was good until you took the film to a drug store or a camera shop and had it developed (which was also expensive). And it wasn’t until you got your pictures back that you realized that you had spent all that money just to get seven good pictures out of a roll of twenty-four exposures.
