Relive the Glory Days With These 34 Throwbacks Every 80s and 90s Kid Will Love

Okay, I get it - times change, and so do aesthetics. But have they changed for the better? The 80s and 90s may have had some questionable fashion choices (looking at you, neon windbreakers and mismatched colors), but when it came to spaces and design, we were all about fun and personality.

Think back to McDonald's during those decades - hamburger chairs, wild patterns on the floors, colorful walls, and sometimes even video game consoles tucked in the corner. Today? Everything's grey, minimalistic, and painfully sterile. It's not just McDonald's, either. Remember those over-the-top, kaleidoscopic rugs that looked like a Lisa Frank fever dream? Where did they go? We traded vibrant and quirky for dull and "safe," and honestly, I want the fun back.

These 34 throwbacks are a blast from the past, reminding us of the wild, unapologetically colorful vibes we grew up with. From funky decor to toys, games, and trends that defined a generation, these images will have you missing the days when life was a little more extra - and loving every second of it.
