It’s easy to forget that only 30 years ago, we were still in the 1990s. Most days, it feels like we’re living on a completely different planet from back then. Technology has advanced so rapidly, and no one could have ever predicted how exactly the world would look today.

While many of us are expected to be future-oriented and focused on what’s to come, it’s nice to take a break every now and then and look back on the past instead. We visited the 90s subreddit and compiled a list of their totally rad posts below. Enjoy scrolling through these photos and memes that might flood you with nostalgia, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you wish you had a time machine!

One thing to note about nostalgia, however, is that it can sometimes go from being a helpful coping mechanism to an unhealthy avoidance tactic. Hannah Mackenzie, a BACP-registered psychotherapist, told Stylist that we have to be careful to not get caught up living in the past. There’s nothing wrong with looking back, but if it prevents you from being present, you might need to reel in your nostalgia.

If you find yourself avoiding feelings or experiences by placing yourself in the past, that’s not a great sign. And Mackenzie says you may need to look at the past with less of a bias. “Nothing is perfect, and being honest with ourselves about that will help us to have more meaningful and well-integrated lives in the present.”
