This Week's Nostalgia-Packed Memes to Freshly Remind Our Brains That the 90’s Were in Fact Two Decades Ago

Everyone experiences nostalgia sometimes. That somewhat bittersweet feeling where you feel sentimental about the past when you remember people, feelings, or events with rose-colored glasses. As time goes on, it's easier to forget the complications that the past may have held, and instead, hold onto an idealized picture that we end up romanticizing. We associate it with feelings of longing. Fun fact - the word nostalgia is a learned formation of a Greek compound - 'nóstos', and 'álgos' which mean 'homecoming' and 'sorrow/despair'. To quote Wikipedia, 'it was coined by a 17th-century medical student to describe the anxieties displayed by Swiss mercenaries fighting away from home. It was described as a medical condition—a form of melancholy —in the Early Modern Period and it became an important trope in Romanticism.' Look at us, learning and sh*tttttt! So much has changed in the past two decades, and we've fallen into nostalgia ourselves. We look up nostalgic memes that help us relate to those long-lost feelings, one's that can only be accessed through memory. And boy are we here to remind you guys of some pretty cool memories! So, without further ado… Check out these awesome nostalgic memes and take a walk down memory lane.
