Nostalgic Trends People Want To See Return From Reddit

You know when people always talk about the good 'ol days? There are just some things that the past did better. When a Redditor asked on r/AskReddit, "What's a good trend that slowly disappeared, but you'd like to see it making a comeback?" the answers poured in, and it was like entering a time capsule. Here's what people had to say: "Social media before advertisements, when it was just actual friends that you knew in real life and their albums of drunk photos from the weekend." — Pleasant_Detail5697"Timelines/feeds being defaulted to the most recent thing your friends posted instead of a stupid algorithm that's just trying to get me to stay on the app as long as possible."— hippstr1990 "7AM and 6PM news and nothing more. Edit: I know there was other time slots but you get it." "My parents watch a lot of HGTV. My god, they take homes and turn them into warehouses. Any non-load-bearing walls are taken out, and everything is painted white. Did we all just decide personalities are uncool?" — rainshowers_5_peace"Personality hurts resale 🥹."— PleaseGiveMeSnacc "When companies weren't afraid to make electronics FUN. Everything was translucent and came in, like, seven different colors. Atomic purple Game Boys, kiwi green iMacs, the see-through landline phones... Now, my options for a $1,000 phone are black, slightly less black, and sad beige. I miss when our tech had personality." — BlueeWaater "A company answering their phone." — No-Music-1994"A company even having a phone number to call."— SoybeanArson"Real customer service instead of chatbots!!"— mayaaxo69 "Leaving the house and not being reachable. A good 'Hey, I'm going out. Talk to you when I'm back.' No Life360, read receipts, and constant texting. Just pure freedom and vibes." "When people see others having a problem in front of them in the real world, they pull out their phone instead of helping." "Kids getting hooked on reading, like when the Harry Potter series became famous." "Self-serve froyo places on every corner." — keatonpotat0es "Not scrolling through your phone in the cinema!" "Dance Dance Revolution." — Twostepsfromlost2 "Similarly, I remember having a lot of fun playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band with friends back in the day." "Conspiracy theorists used to be seen as nut jobs. Now, every person has at least one conspiracy theory that they believe to be the truth." "U.S. presidents debating issues instead of having the equivalent of a rambling diss track with each other." "Critical thinking." — ginger_minge"I'll take common sense at this point."— mxjxs91 "Housing affordability." "Democracy." "Manners and people forming their own thoughts and opinions instead of following whatever is popular online." "Punctuation! Paragraphs, and full words written out!" "Planking." — juancn "Pokémon GO." "I really miss getting tons of Christmas cards in the mail and hanging them up for the season. It was such a nice little thing wishing you well, and it felt good to celebrate relations that way." — The_barking_ant"I still send them every year. DM me your address."— wuapinmon "One exciting Blockbuster movie in the summer, around the 4th like they used to." — Swiftiefromhell And finally, "POGS." — Lou_Garoup The nostalgia is heavy with this one! 🥹 What other yesteryear things do you miss?
