38 Important, Interesting And Random Events That Happened 30 Years Ago, As Shared On This Nostalgic Online Group
Article created by: Ilona Baliūnaitė
As the days go by, time seems to move faster and faster. It's hard to believe that another year has come and gone. It feels like only yesterday that we were celebrating the start of a new year.
At the same time, our perception of time is subjective. Some will say that they just had the longest week, others will argue that the whole year, if not more, has passed in a glimpse of an eye.
Same with decades, and even half centuries. Most of my fellow millennials who were born in the '90s and are now in their 20s or 30s will feel like only yesterday we drank Capri Sun, listened to Avril Lavigne, and watched Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone.
So if you have been struggling to keep up with the passing time, this entertaining corner of Reddit known as “Thirty Years Ago” is a perfect place to give the past the accolades it deserves. The community is dedicated to “celebrating anniversaries” and sharing the most important, memorable, and sometimes random events and moments that turned thirty and more this year.
