This must be it. I don’t remember myself or most definitely not my young kids being nostalgic about the past until recently. My middle schoolers are enamored with the 80’s.
I do think the 80’s are our generation’s roaring 20’s.

It also has to do with whenever your existential way of thinking about. life kicks in and you can for the first time see the life from a nihilistic aspect 💜
Also these days there’s so much stimulation available and comparison between each other, that we have really forgotten to “just be”. 🫂
I am jealous of people that were alive during the analog days, life seems so much simple back then 🧡
You remember how our generation was fascinated with the ‘60’s? Your kids aren’t fascinated with the ‘80’s, they’re fascinated with you!
Good job, mom!
I do agree that a lot of people of our generation were nostalgic for the 60’s but I was never one of them. I never understood the whole anti-war or pro-drug culture. Funny that I have only just now started to get it.
I never did it either. But all my friends did! I’m a little younger so it was a mix of flower child and disco queen.
I remember living through the 80’s, and being nostalgic about the 60’s era my older siblings lived through. Funny how this cycle repeats. I do have some fond memories of the 80’s, but neon, parachute pants and Michael Jackson jackets would not be included in that. Lol.
