Nostalgic Reddit Thread: A Trip Down Memory Lane When Things Were Wicked Cool In The Good Old Days

Oof, where have the good old days gone? Back when you didn't know what everyone had for breakfast thanks to social media, back when concerts were actually fun, and going to the mall was a great pastime on the weekend. When having multiple gadgets was cool, Blockbuster was your go-to when you wanted to see a good film on your VCR, and you had a flip phone. Gosh, I miss my Blackberry.

But no, now our entire life is in the public eye whether we want it to be or not. Technology has advanced and created an entire nation of little monsters (AKA, Gen Z). Work ethic has gone down the drain, and prices have gone up (so much). I find that vitamins and utensils are what excite me nowadays. It's sad. But hey, at least memes are still a thing! While scrolling through r/AskReddit, I found a post by u/Wackywackingwacker, who posed the question, 'What used to be cool that's not anymore?'.

The trip down memory lane is endless. I've compiled a neat list for you to check out down below, so enjoy. While we're on the topic of feeling freaking old, click here for things that 30+ is just… too grownup for.
