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.
