Deep inside our brains is an ocean of memories, emotions, and feelings that can be unlocked by the correct application of sights, smells, and sounds. Without warning, the theme song of a childhood cartoon or the smell of that one aisle in the corner store by your house can teleport you to another time. It might feel like magic, but nostalgia is a very real phenomenon. 

The “Nostalgia” Instagram account is pretty self-explanatory, showcasing content that should be like a healthy blast from the past, both funny and relatable. So prepare for a little trip in time, upvote the images that unlocked some memories, and share your thoughts in the comment section below.

    Because nostalgia focuses so much on memories of how things used to be, both real and imagined, it’s important to keep track of what is a cherished memory and what is a specific, focused-tested set of concepts put together to evoke a specific memory. As cynical as it might seem, politicians, movements and advertisers are all wise to the idea of nostalgia as a method to manipulate people. 

    The “return to the good, old days” is a common promise for many politicians, and many products will try to associate themselves with potential consumers’ childhoods. Little reminders of childhood do often come with a comforting wave of emotions, just make sure that you don’t let people hijack it to sell you anything.

    That being said, it is a real and verifiable fact that nostalgia can provide a good amount of comfort through times of sadness and uncertainty. Psychologists believe that in certain “doses,” it’s actually pretty important to our mental health. Think of it this way, when current circumstances don’t provide joy, your brain has this nifty little ability to just reach into the past and scoop up things that made you happy before. There might be diminishing returns, but hey, it’s a start.

    I think I was 5 the 1st time my dad left me to go out for a bit. Not only did he come back, but he brought McDonald's and some movies from blockbuster. I'm holding back tears typing this. 🤣

    To maintain the metaphor of nostalgia-as-medication, it is possible to “take” too much. After all, if you feel the past was too good, you might end up longing just to return instead of focusing on the present. The Germans, as always, have a term for this, called “Sehnsucht,” which you can now use as a complicated and pretentious way to talk about longing, desire, yearning, and craving.

    The origin of “Sehnsucht” (capitalized because the Germans capitalize every noun) is “suffering,” which is ultimately what someone would probably feel if they have trapped themselves in the thought that things will never be as good as they used to be. However, some psychologists believe that over time, this emotion can help a person start to develop and plan out the steps to actually improve things.

    Once you realize the potential of tapping into the past to draft people’s emotions, you might start to see how it’s used everywhere. You might notice that the Instagram logo is, in fact, a drawing of a Polaroid, despite the fact that 99% of the userbase are probably using a smartphone. But somehow, an old camera seems more special and emotional than the many, smaller and often more powerful cameras we carry in our pockets every day. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    And speaking of social media, you have probably seen how, for example, Meta products like Facebook and the aforementioned Instagram have “memory” functions that will randomly show you images from the past, normally on their one-year anniversary. This could of course be a bit misguided, as many people have documented randomly getting images from an illness or a breakup a year ago. 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Other companies do their best to tap into this feeling as well. The Nokia 3310 phone was legendary for a variety of reasons, but it seems its reputation for being indestructible goes beyond the physical, as the company relaunched it in 2017. The phone seems like stone-age technology compared to any random smartphone from the last few years, but people do want to relive that two-tone snake game and the feeling of pressing some buttons.

    “Stranger Things” is another case-in-point, where much of the appeal is an idealized image of the 80s, alongside many of the tropes and cliches of 80s children's movies, such as the iconic “ET.” The show was a brilliant move by Netflix, as it managed to both attract gen x viewers who wanted to relive a past era while simultaneously creating nostalgia among younger viewers, a sort of self-perpetuating false memory of the past.

    I was telling my kids about how when I first started school the school had ONE computer and each class got a turn of it for a week. There was even a special unveiling assembly held to show it to everyone and special monitors in Year 6 in charge of transporting it to the designated classroom each week. It was some sort of Apple thing and had original PrintShop and Muppetville.

    this must have been after my time. We didn't have computers in HS. I bought the first publicly available pc some years after high school. Had to do my own programming too since there were no applications or programs written yet. Then went to Apple because of the marketing, but then realized the mistake and went back to PC because of DOS, and AutoCAD. It was pretty rough back on the prehistoric days, but I always knoew it would evolved into what it is today.

    The first one I saw was when as YR12 students 1979 we went to see what uni was like. The computer had punch cards . You typed a question and then took it over to another computer and feed it the card, which then gave you another card to take back to get read. Next computer I used was in 1986 that needed a cassette recorder/player to run the programs. Had to be at a certain volume to work.

Inevitably some kid put some porn up for shock value and everyone was a) horrified or b) giggling. And then the frantic turning off the screen if any adult came anywhere near. And there was no IT people monitoring the school web, just once the teachers figured out what the kids were doing, they TOLD us there was. 😂

    First computer at school was second-hand from Brunel University, c 1977. The headmaster had to give up his office to fit it in. It played mastermind on ticker tape - I'd guess about 4Kb of RAM. That pic is pretty modern, we had CRT screens well into this century.

    Computers were the things my father worked with, and some were large enough to fill a room. Another was the size of a small fridge, with a similar door on the front, and Dad came home telling of the day it wouldn't work. They called in the expert, who became frustrated because he couldn't fix it. Eventually he slammed the door, and it started working!

    "Computer" lab in my high schools was a Navy surplus Teletype and a modem. One. For the entire school. When I was in college, I had to punch cards to use the computer.

    When I was in highschool I volunteered to build four computer labs. That was the late '90s and the internet was a new thing.

    I was telling one of my carers how I remember being in year 7 (age 11-12) and having a big school celebration for having a computer lab open and how it was in the papers as we were one of the first schools in the county to get one! She replied "but you're only 34!" She legit thought they were something my mum in her 50's would remember happening and not me. I blew her mind with a lot of facts that day. She didn't believe the millennium bug was a real thing we were worried about until I showed her a news clip on YouTube! Felt very old that day

    When I was in elementary, in the mid to late 80's, they didn't look like that. Then in middle school out math and science teacher had Apple connections and we got 4 in the room with us. And an early digital camera.

    Some specialists have started to develop a concept of “forestalgia,” which is a sort of hopeful belief that in some imagined future, many things will be better. While an idealized future has existed for centuries, the advent of science fiction has created multiple generations who actively think about what the next few decades will bring.

    Tip: play the actual movie on the end of the lane, cover the screens with acrylic glass though

    The good 'ol days. Ditch weed and Night Train. Take the train to the city and jump in the pit at a proper Punk show.

    Wowww forgot about this, now I can remember I was the leader of the bunch quite a bit cause I was one of those goody two shoes kids in class xD So I was always getting a “reward sticker” on the chart, from what I can remember by the time I got to 3rd grade teachers had done away with this, I couldn’t care regardless, was too young to think anything of it. But this just brought back such memories of something I totally forgot about 👌🏼

    Even now they're all jumbled. Nintendo switch and Xbox have A+B swapped and X+Y swapped, so when I use one for a while then I'm disoriented when I use the other

    After seeing all four of my brother's boys growing up, I can confidently say having a young boy that refuses to ever wear clothing actually makes this show 100% accurate

    There should be flowers and wreaths and "rest in peace, you will be missed" all over that grave marker.

    Kids still use these! I tutored 1st graders a few years and ago and these were part of the required school supplies. The kids were more interested in making towers than doing math with them though. :)

    This book is really bad once you really think about it. If you brag a lot and your friends get jealous, just rip off your body parts so every one feels good about themselves!

    But you want to stay in your nice bed and not have to go to school in the cold rainy weather. I know this feeling. Only as my dad was like "ok I'm leaving now" I would jump out of bed and get dressed at lightning speed

    A travesty compared to the original :( TBH, I haven't liked any of the live-action remakes yet.
