People List the Golden Ages That Have Passed Us By

Nobody thinks it will happen to them, but everyone eventually gets to an age where they start reminiscing about the Good Old Days. It happens earlier than we might expect, too, not least because of the lightning speed of change in our current times. What used to be great when we were kids might not even exist any more, let alone just be past its prime. This realization is food for thought in a thread like one that recently took off on r/AskReddit, querying all the things that we are no longer in a golden age of. The whole thing makes for a kind of depressing read, as well as leaving us wondering if certain mentions might make a comeback someday. Most trends come back in style again eventually, it's just that they will often take a slightly different form (and they're not as great as we remember them).

$Font - Notmiefault 1d 1 Award Streaming. There was a blissful 10 years where basically everything was on one or two platforms. Now we've more or less re-invented television with the fracturing of media platforms (but on demand, which is still an improvement but come on, it was so nice for a while there).$
