Time is a strange beast. One moment you think it’s still 1999/2004/2012, the next you realize you’re sitting in 2021. Confused, with no idea where the years went, there you are, busily counting how old you are on your fingers. Time doesn’t just fly by: it soars, does loop-de-loops, backtracks and fast-forwards, drips like a leaky faucet, rushes like a raging river, and delights in making you feel old and still young all at once.

Well, our team over here at Bored Panda wants time to be on our side, so we’re about to make you feel old and pine for the '90s and 2000s. Did we say ‘feel old?’ Sorry! We meant ‘feel nostalgic.’ Whoops. You’ll definitely get these memes and jokes if you remember the '90s and 2000s well, so scroll on down for a trip down memory lane, and remember to upvote the pics that you liked the most. We’d also love to hear from you what trends, technologies, and events you liked the most from that era. So be sure to leave us a comment below.

Bored Panda wanted to learn more about our nostalgia for earlier decades, so we reached out to Kemi Omijeh, a child and adolescent therapist who is based in London and is also a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Read on for her insights, dear Pandas!

    According to therapist Omijeh, our memories of the past can contribute to our sense of self and well-being. "The period of time we tend to be nostalgic over are significant moments that stood out. Perhaps it was a time when we felt happiest or safest, or perhaps it’s a period where things changed for us."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    She explained that the age we were at during the era doesn't matter as much as what exactly the time period represents to us. "Our memories of the past can change over time depending on how often we revisit and also depending on what is going on for us in the present."

    I was even left home alone when I was 10 and had the flu. It was the first time I was sick during school time, before that I always got sick during vacations. Played so many computer games on that first sick day and it was great! :D Came home all alone when I was 8 and those moments alone were great! Grandma was worried that I'll burn the house down with the microwave oven though. After a couple of years it was me, my sister and 2 neighbour girls and we had our after school shenanigans. We tried out all the spices we found in each house, cooked bacon in the microwave oven, watched cartoons, played games, came up with new play pretend things.. Good times! And then the adults would come home and we'd get yelled at.

    Omijeh joked that "of course, the '90s was better! But then again, I may be being very biased here." The therapist pointed out that who we were during each decade will influence our impressions of it.

    "Generally speaking, the better decade is associated with youth and freedom. Nostalgia also often gives us rose-tinted glasses from which to reflect from. How we reflect on the past decades can play a part in how we engage with the current decade." If you're living in the UK and would like to speak to a therapist, you can find a counseling professional through the BACP right here.

    Yup. I'm that old. And in 6th grade I was trained as a specialist with the 16mm film projector. The teacher would occasionally send me to fetch the projector and get the movie ready so she could keep lecturing. I felt so special but the other kids thought I was a nerd.

    Bored Panda previously spoke about nostalgia with therapist Omijeh in more depth. "Many psychologists, myself included, believe our childhood is the foundation to who we are as adults. It explains why we frequently revisit our childhood as it influences our present," Omijeh told Bored Panda.

    According to Omijeh, the kind of childhoods that we had directly correlates to how we remember our childhood experiences. To put it simply: we’re nostalgic for the times that we felt loved and nurtured.

    “If we’ve had a difficult childhood, it can be hard to feel nostalgic, instead it will feel like something we need to get over in order to move on," the therapist said.

    "Nostalgia can also be a good coping strategy for times of low mood and challenges," she detailed. However, she warned that nostalgia is only useful to a certain extent. The moment it starts interfering with our ability to be present in our everyday lives is the moment that we should start to be worried.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “If we end up comparing it to our experiences today and feeling like nothing is as good as it was, then this will inevitably affect our mood and our ability to do what we need to do," Omijeh said. “We can become stuck in our nostalgia; in which case it might be best to seek help from a counseling professional to help you process your past in order to enjoy your present,” the therapist explained. In short, it’s fine if you feel nostalgic for the 90s and 2000s, but remember to enjoy 2021, too!

    When it's 1980, and the only video store was a local mom and pop shop that had one copy of each movie (maybe two if they still carried Betamax), and you had to actually rent a player with it because owning a VCR was too expensive. When Blockbuster and Hollywood Video started stocking hundreds of copies of a single popular title, it was mind-blowing.

    Earlier, Bored Panda also spoke about the changes in technologies and trends over the past few decades with Ramona Pringle, who is the Director of the Creative Innovation Studio and Associate Professor at the RTA School of Media at Ryerson University.

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to her, even if we know what trends occurred in the past, we can’t say for certain what the future will hold. “We don’t know what the future holds, and anyone who says that they do is selling snake oil. But, there are certain things we can count on: we love stories, and we love to be part of something biggest than ourselves. Be it oral storytelling, books, blogs, movies, or video games, we’ve never lost our love of narrative.”

    Entertainment and connectivity, then, will continue being a vital part of our history as human beings as we move boldly (or trembling slightly from excitement and anxiety) into the future. “Equally true, even when we can’t go into a concert hall or colosseum, we look for ways to be together, connected, and part of a communal experience. The tech might change, but these will continue to be the drivers of our entertainment experiences,” Pringle said.

I got it on Steam a little while ago and still imagine the disc divisions in my head. Having separate discs for each area also ended up being a helpful clue.

    Pringle explained to Bored Panda that over the next decade, entertainment tech will change and improve, focusing even more on immersion and interactivity. 

    “For the last decade, we’ve leaned into virtual reality because of how it enables both of these. We can step inside a world and have influence over it, and the story or experience that unfolds,” she said. “I think one of the things we can expect moving forward is, in a sense, the opposite of virtual reality. Instead, more of an enhanced reality or fictional reality, wherein the entertainment isn’t in a headset, but instead, all around us.”

    “A decade ago, we didn’t talk to robots. Today, many of us do,” Pringle detailed. “Siri and Alexa are some of the more common bots, but we already interface with non-human characters regularly. As technology advances, including augmented reality and mixed reality, I think we can expect that entertainment will be something we can engage with off of the screen, but out in the world, with characters and stories we can engage with throughout the day, or throughout our houses.”

    I had something like this because i was allergic to penicillin... so not amoxicillin. But either way it was a strange banana mixed with paracetamol taste and it made me shudder and gag every time i took it... i can taste it now at least 25 years later :(

    This was ambrosia compared to the straight penicillin suspended in a white foul-tasting suspension that they pumped down you in the fifties. It tasted as if it had just been scraped off the mouldy cheese! It was so foul that kids didn't dare let on that they were terminally ill for fear they would have to swallow some!

    Pringle made some more predictions about the near future: “I think we can expect to see the ebb and flow of experiences that bring people together offline and then on screen, or online, as well. In the last few years, we’ve seen the rise of interactive and immersive venues like the museum of ice cream or the Dr. Seuss experience,”

    TV guide was for fancy people. We had to look in the newspaper (a newspaper is like the internet printed out - you'd get one in the morning and one in the afternoon, except on Sundays when you would get one really big one in the morning. Some little kid (me) would come around and throw it at your house.)

    She continued: “These are places we can go, with friends and family, and have a shared experience. It feeds back into our online experiences because we can share photos or memories and these environments are designed to foster that. Certainly, as we find ourselves in a time of social distancing, we’re seeing new creative ways of “being together” even when we’re apart. So I think we can expect to see entertainment that helps us connect, be it online or off, and immerses us in an experience, story, or community.”

    I hated low rise, because like any teenager I was growing. At the start they would be loose, then fit right, then so tight you develop a muffin top. When I saw mid-rise jeans for the first time, I snapped them up and haven't looked back.

    If Gen Z wants to make their mark by being different, find us a trend that is comfy AND flattering. Anyone who rebels for the sake of rebelling always winds up looking silly later. You don't need to define yourself solely by who you're not.

You know: "Red Bull gives you wings". He said it was misleading because you don't actually get wings when you drink it... The company now only uses animal cartoons in their ads.

    It's how we downloaded songs. Illegally, although I think that might've been a bit of a grey area, I don't think there were laws against it back then. And then you ran the risk of downloading a virus. Of course, that's if you were able to download the song at all... at dial up speeds it could take all night to download one song. And woe be the parent who picked up the phone before it was done lol.
