"As much as we hate to admit it, most of us Gen Z'ers don't remember much before the 2000s. It's, like, our blind spot. Millennials, Gen X'ers, and boomers are really the true experts on what it was like in the '80s and '90s - and although we sometimes wave them off, I have to say, their POVs on that experience are always interesting."
"So that's why we asked the 30-and-older folks in the BuzzFeed Community to share the '80s and '90s experiences that would be considered "extremely strange" today. And the responses have my head spinning! Here's what people said: Now, tell me: What's a '90s (or earlier) trend or habit that everyone thought would last forever, but has since totally faded into oblivion?"
Most Gen Zers remember little before the 2000s, creating a cultural blind spot for pre-2000 experiences. Millennials, Gen Xers, and boomers retain firsthand memories of life in the 1980s and 1990s and often recall those eras' norms and habits. The BuzzFeed Community solicited contributions from people aged 30 and older about '80s and '90s experiences that would seem extremely strange today. Responses included vivid examples that surprised and amused younger readers. Readers are invited to share their own vanished '90s trends or habits in the comments or via a quick form.
