No matter what we do or how we feel about it, time keeps marching forward. And while reminiscing about the past can be a double-edged sword, providing both melancholy and comfort, the Facebook group 'Grew Up In The 80's and The 90's' invites people to do just that.

Though this online community is quite young even by the internet's standards (it was created in January 2019), 1.6 million people have already joined it, sharing everything that they remember from the two decades.

So whether you want a strong dose of nostalgia or simply to learn what the good old days were all about, we invite you to check out these handpicked posts we gathered from the group.

The word nostalgia was first coined in 1688 by Swiss physician Johannes Hofer, who defined it as a neurological illness of continually thinking about one's homeland and longing for return.

It wasn't until the 19th century that nostalgia began to be seen as a positive sentiment, rather than a pathological condition. The legendary Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, for example, viewed nostalgia as a way of reconnecting with our past in order to understand our present. For Jung, nostalgia was a way to access the "collective unconscious"—the shared history and experiences that we all have as human beings.

And looking at the content of this group, one can definitely see where he was coming from.

Over the past decade or so, some comprehensible literature on the psychology of nostalgia has developed. Research shows that people engage in nostalgic reverie mostly when they're feeling low in an attempt to boost their mood and self-confidence.

Experimental evidence indicates that nostalgia is experienced as an overwhelmingly positive emotion. It not only has the power to boost one's mood but can increase a sense of meaning in life as well. Furthermore, it also raises self-esteem and optimism for the future.

However, some, like University of Southern California psychologist David Newman, argue that these effects may be due more to the experimental setup than to the true nature of nostalgia.

They do teach it to every student but now they call it"keyboarding". They can keyboard really fast but never learned how to compose a sentence, spell, or even turn on spellcheck.

I took art and technical drawing, stuff like that in school, but ended up having to take biology also (as it just so happens to fall in such a bracket I couldn't avoid taking it), did it for one year and decided it's really not my interest for the amount of studying involved, I then had the option to change it to typing classes. I thought how hard could that be? Was on typewriters, with a teacher who would cover your hands with a cloth in exams, every mistake was worth 3 marks (like a spelling error or a space too many etc). And you had a time limit to reach a certain words per minute. It was not easy! And I have been into computers my whole life. But now I type fast.

I did a class called Business Keyboarding and French. Someone tried to get me to unlearn my self-taught typing skills and to negotiate my way through a French switchboard to speak to a Frenchman I'd never heard of.

Hmm - in the UK, 50's and 60's only girls were taught to type. Why, because the girls would all become secretaries. (and yes, I know this is about the 80's, when my children were young, but it still triggers me now.)

Learning to type with that box over your hands so you couldn't see the key board really made writing a million and one papers in college a lot easier on me. Sucks when you have your hand off though and you look up to realize that you just wrote a bunch of gibberish rather than the quote you were trying to reference.

I had to take typing in middle school and I was quick with almost zero mistakes, but couldn’t use home row or it slowed me down/caused numerous mistakes and I remember my teacher being on me all the time about using home row, this was before cell phones but the way I typed then not using home row made me very quick on touch screen cell phones. So I have zero regrets ignoring my teacher. 😂

I would up vote this more times if I could. 1970s. My HS too poor to have enough electric typewriters so "newbies" started on manual typewriters. When I took "typing" (nobody had heard of "keyboarding" back then) I thought it would be sort of useful. I never dreamed I would spend decades typing on computers, including for some tech jobs that were my bread and butter. It is up there in the list of most useful skills I have ever learned in life. But back then they also taught us how to cook and how to repair things so there's that.

At my school (in Germany) I was in the last class that learned typing on an actual (non-electronic) typewriter. And indeed it is something from school that I am thankful for as I use it every day.

I had this class in 5th grade and in high-school. In 5th grade our high-school consolidated to a larger school and because they had a lot of HS items still in the school decided to teach us then. I took it again in 90s HS to get an easy A.

Exploring the relationship between nostalgia and mood, Newman and colleagues performed a time-lag analysis, meaning they correlated people's feelings of nostalgia with mood later that day and the next day.

The results showed that mood tended to remain low throughout that time period. This suggests that nostalgia is either ineffective at boosting mood or that it even causes feelings of depression. Other possible negative effects of nostalgia include:

  • A sense of loneliness and isolation;
  • Dwelling on the past and becoming unhappy with the present;
  • Becoming less likely to take action in the present.

But what is it about these two decades that people remember? Well, in the 1980s, many embraced a new conservatism in social, economic, and political life, characterized by the policies of U.S. President Ronald Reagan and, in the United Kingdom, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

For some, the 1960s and 1970s had been a troubling time: the countercultural movements of the era, the Watergate scandal, the Vietnam War, the energy crisis, rising crime, and inflation had undermined Americans' confidence in their fellow citizens and in their government. But the 1980s are often regarded for the opposite, namely its materialism and consumerism.

This period also saw the rise of the "yuppie," an explosion of blockbuster movies and the emergence of cable networks like MTV, which introduced the music video and launched the careers of many iconic artists, and the emergence of the AIDS crisis, which would go on to kill more than 700,000 people in the U.S. alone.

Similarly, the 1990s is also often remembered as a decade of relative peace and prosperity. The Soviet Union fell, ending the decades-long Cold War, and the rise of the Internet ushered in a radical new era of communication, business, and entertainment.

Canadian novelist, designer, and visual artist Douglas Coupland thinks that for North Americans and Europeans, the 1990s possessed a sense of happiness that seems long vanished.

"Money still generated money. Computers were becoming fast easy and cheap, and with them came a sense of equality for everyone," he wrote. "Things were palpably getting better everywhere. History was over and it felt great. I also remember working at Wired magazine, though, in 1993, and having a discussion about the internet with one of the editors, Kevin Kelly. The thrust was that there was an internet, sure, but there was nowhere to go. Kevin said, 'Nonsense,' and took me to a website showing a slowly downloading weather map of Northern California and southern Oregon."

So what can we do if we think about those times and find ourselves in a bad place instead of a good one? Experts suggest to:

  • Think about the present moment. What are you doing right now that you enjoy?
  • Make an effort to connect with others in the present. Spend time with people you care about. Talk to them about your positive memories.
  • Do things that make you happy. Listen to music, go for walks, and watch your favorite movie.
  • Talk to a therapist. If you're feeling particularly down, talking to a therapist can help.
  • Be mindful. Be aware of how much time you spend dwelling on the past.

John Travolta was 23 at the time that he played 18-year-old Danny Zuko, while Newton-John was 29 – more than 10 years older than Sandy, who was written to be 17 or 18 years old. Stockard Channing, who played Rizzo, the leader of the Pink Ladies, was 33 at the time of filming, making her the oldest of the main cast.
