30 Times People Were So Blinded By Their Own Nostalgia, The Internet Called Them Out For It (New Pics)
Interview
Ah, The Good Old Days(™)! A time when everything was (allegedly) better: the music, the food, and even the fabric of society. Though… which era are we talking about, specifically? For some, it might be the ‘70s and ‘80s. For others, it’s the ‘90s and early 2000s. While others yearn to live a century or two ago, periods they never experienced firsthand.
Nostalgia is great in small doses, but too much of it can make you miss the beauty of the present. The r/lewronggeneration subreddit is a witty online community that is “dedicated to satirically mocking” folks who are completely and utterly “blinded by their own nostalgia.” We’ve collected some of their most cringeworthy posts to show you how many people wear rose-colored glasses to an unhealthy extent.
Bored Panda got in touch with the team that runs r/lewronggeneration, and one of the moderators, u/oh_dangit, was kind enough to answer our questions. Read on to see what they told us.

Whoever said that should probably try out living like THEIR parents at their age. Let's so who's laughing then. A bit silly to get on a high horse for knowing an outdated skill, isn't it? Personally, I don't miss dialing on a rotary phone or rewinding tapes with a pencil and I really don't think the generation after mine should know how or why to do that. XD

The fault of not teaching cursive writing anymore lies with the lazy a*s and inept educational system in this country. On the other hand, we who learned cursive can write notes between each other and the kids won't be able to read them.

Load More Replies...We were interested to get the moderator's take on why the r/lewronggeneration subreddit has seen so much success over the years. "I think that the anti-nostalgia baiting message that is attached to the subreddit and has been there since its inception resonates with a lot of people who don't have strong feelings of nostalgia for one thing or another," u/oh_dangit told Bored Panda.
"One of the core beginnings was based on music; such as people who becry musicians nowadays for creating their own sound and making it unique to themselves," they said.
We were also curious to find out more about what it's like to moderate an online community of this size. According to u/oh_dangit, being a moderator mostly "comes down to dealing with spam and people leaving comments that break rules."

Because you wanted to select the opening for 'style' points, the next lines are : "Now, what you hear is not a test, I'm rapping to the beat and me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet.

people complain about “todays music” all the time, and while it’s true the majority of pop songs are very corporate friendly-sounding there’s nothing stopping you from listening to old music or looking for more underground artists you could like. there’s always going to be someone creative and wanting to create meaningful art
hansu 2 years ago
Complaining about "todays music" is a sure way to see that a person has nothing in mind exept themselves. New music is always different than old. Its the way all music was born, it evolved from the old. And also you can’t make endles amount of the same music, it needs to evolve or it just repeats itself. The music you think is so good, was not good for most of your parents generation. There has always been "frivolous" music and "good" music. Not all music is supposed to be epic, some is just entertainment, not ment to be taken too seriously. Old people are not supposed to like new music. Young people want to have their own thing.

Lived through the First Cold War in a nuclear target. Strangely comforting as we'd have been vaporised rather than a slow death. Cold War II has expanded to include China and the rhetoric is more dangerous and involves starting a war in Europe that's killing hundreds of thousands. Unless we get leaders who want peace shortly then I think there will be full on war NATO Vs Russia/China - this could very easily go nuclear..

Back in the day, my mother never left the house without wearing a girdle. Not to go to the grocery store, not to go on vacation, or to go to a PTA meeting. Inside the house, she didn’t wear one, but I have clear memories of her struggling to get that damn thing on. I also remember visiting Williamsburg VA one summer. If you’ve ever been in the southeast US in summer, you know what I mean. When we got back to the hotel room free walking around all day, she went to shower and change for dinner. That’s when she found out her girdle’s elastic waistband had melted enough to fuse with her underwear’s elastic waistband, because it was hot that day, and she’d been exercising and getting hot herself with all the walking we did. That was in the early seventies, and the moment I decided I would never wear a girdle—-they’re called Spanx today, btw. I never have worn one, I just try to stay in relatively good shape and buy clothes that actually fit. Now that I live in Maryland, I am much much cooler in summer than my mother was back in the day, I can tell you.

Women did go out in public wearing something like pajamas during this time though. It was called a "day dress" and it was worn after a woman took off her nightgown but before she was fully attired. Day dresses were knee length shifts that either buttoned or zipped up the front, sometimes cinched with a belt or sash, usually short sleeved, and came in all colors and patterns. And they were frequently worn while the hair was in rollers with a scarf over them. Nobody went shopping dolled up like Jayne Mansfield.

Maybe in the past, when there were more actual posts and popular posts, I think that there'd be far more time committed to moderating," they said that the times have changed a bit.
The moderator also shared their thoughts on where the line is when someone's become far too immersed in nostalgia: "Looking too much towards the past will only hurt your perspective towards the future," they said.
The r/lewronggeneration community has been going strong for nearly a decade now. Founded in mid-August of 2013, the sub has grown to house over 300k members since that time.
According to the moderator team running the whole show, the subreddit itself was created out of annoyance over the ‘born in the wrong generation’ that fans of ‘60s and ‘70s rock often express. So there’s a special emphasis on music on r/lewronggeneration, but other forms of nostalgia are welcome, too, from other forms of media to societal trends.

There's always something for everyone if people would take the time to stray away from the charts.

Thing is, we didn’t decide to do that together, we had no idea until I came in for my shift. We were griping about having to work, and told each other how we decided to protest it.

The mods ask the members to post images and videos that fit the spirit of the subreddit. In short, the content should be focused on “quasi-nostalgic attitudes, often with a sense of superiority.” However, posts can’t have anyone’s identifying information displayed in them, whether that’s actual names or internet usernames. The point is to gently mock over-the-top nostalgia, not the individuals themselves.
Moreover, members of r/lewronggeneration ought to avoid posting content that they created themselves. Meanwhile, if anyone’s in the mood for some satire, they’re welcome to go for it, but they have to add the ‘Satire’ flair to make it clear to everyone else.
In the meantime, everyone’s asked to be civil, and polite, and to “keep the elitism at the door.” While disagreements are perfectly fine (and, if we’re honest, completely unavoidable on the internet), calling other users names and insulting them is way over the line. What’s more, the mods frown upon low-effort posts, redditors who spam memes, and repost irresponsibly.

Yeah, and especially more infuriating when you actually remeber just how "cheap", repetitive and derivative the animation in Hanna-Barbera cartoons like the Flintstones, Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Scooby-Doo, Top Cat, Huckleberry Hound, etc. Most of the times only the head and arms would move, the backgrounds were reused over and over and the animation poses were reused from production to production. So pointing out how four different modern shows who also share a lot of the same people working on them are similar in art style is disingenuous in the extreme.

In Stoycheva’s opinion, overindulging in nostalgia is similar to overusing salt or pepper in your dishes, leading to the present being “colored by the negative emotions, in favor of glorifying some moment in the past.” There’s a need for balance here so that nostalgia doesn’t consume someone’s life.

I don't understand why people turn "generation bashing" into a sport. Every younger generation loses some skill, knowledge or experience that the older generation had, but they gain something new. It's always been that way. Every younger generation becomes the older generation. Time is a river. Appreciate the journey.

Okay, I'm born in 1989 and I was bored a million times during the nineties. I had soap bubbles (then still make those) and legos (also make those) and a tamagochi and movies and video games etc etc etc and I still got bored. Kids are allowed to feel bored. The only problem now, that I read in i magazine (Illustrerad Vetenskap ((Illustrated Science))) is that the attention span gets shorter if the kids only are subjected to short videos or quick entertainment. It's not the generation that's wrong, people just need better salaries/work conditions/support so they'll have the time and energy to do slow entertainment with their children.
Nostalgia, according to Stoycheva, is focused on simplicity rather than complexity, so it can backfire as an emotional regulatory strategy because the world itself is so complex. According to her, this can be countered by coming face to face with our own biases and beliefs and tackling uncomfortable feelings of shame and longing.

80's. It was okay unless you were gay, in a union, or a person of color. GRID/AIDs became a thing by the early 80s and it killed a lot of really good people, there were very few treatments and the stigma around this disease was immense. Economically it was a rough decade, better than the 70s but rough- started in a recession and had a big meltdown in the late 80s. We raised ourselves, many homes were one parent or had two working parents and there weren't after school activities so we spent a lot of time figuring stuff out on our own, lots of teen mothers back then. We were plenty scared, gang violence was a big thing and getting really bad by the late 80s. Los Angeles spent a summer hiding from the Night Stalker. Adam Walsh was murdered and we met John Walsh for the first time and learned to be afraid. The concept of date rape wasn't understood, being drunk or high or wearing revealing clothes was consent. It wasn't remotely perfect.

I admire how they don't take c**p from companies and challenge the idea of "work hard and you'll get ahead". The truth is their is a natural reaction to companies exploiting them. And all you need to do is open your eyes and you will see it. The model businesses operate under now demands that kind of response. They broke the social contract between between companies and workers. And they did it in a deceptive manner. Pensions, healthcare, and social security are a few examples. They made sure to take care of the Boomers so they wouldn't call foul and let Gen X & Y work old school style without the rewards. And we were too inexperienced to see it. From the time I turned 18 I have seen home costs jump from $30k for a house to $350k. While the federal minimum wage went from $2.35 to $7.25. Insane.

In the meantime, Bored Panda has previously written about how people tend to be the most nostalgic for those periods of time when they were happiest. For many, that’s their childhood because they had fewer responsibilities. However, if someone had an awful childhood, you most likely won’t find them reminiscing about that period of time.
Though nostalgia can be a good coping strategy when you’re feeling blue, it can interfere with our daily lives. For instance, if we constantly compare the present to the past and feel like nothing ever measures up in terms of values and quality, then we’ll feel disappointed.

My 70 year old mom was giving an interview in preparation for the exhibition of her paintings. The person who was taking the interview asked if she also studied computer graphics when she was learning to become an artist (mom studied at the design academy in USSR in 1970s, back then it wasn't called the design academy though). She had to reply "No, because the computers didn't exist back then". Yeah, technically there were computers already. But they 1) were only in big research institutes, not for every man in USSR, and 2) weren't used for graphics in the modern sense back then.

Back when it was the WWF. They put on some really great shows. I was asked recently why they changed to WWE, because they were sued in court by the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF) for using their likeness.

Not Even Giving It A Chance Bruh

OK this is a little true though. Everything wasn't insanely monetized. You could actually find real answers on the web instead of whatever the algorithm is pushing that pays the most. Content in general wasn't geared toward being devisive to push viewership and you could actually watch a whole YouTube video without ads. People were also a lot less mean and less offended by everything. And for some sites there was reasonable moderation. For the record I'm pro moderation but also pro grace. None of us are seen as human anymore online. Just a collection of right or wrong beliefs that Google, meta, etc are figuring out how to leverage for $$$.

Now, I can make friends in other countries and learn about cultures I may never have even heard of when I was a kid in the arcade. And just to clarify: Firstly, yes, I'm old enough to have played in arcades and to have gotten an Atari as a kid, so I do know what I'm talking about, and secondly, I don't live in a basement, yet I still play games.
