Why Is Everyone Obsessed With The 90s? Is Nostalgia A Trap Or The Cure For Modern Stress? #nostalgia #90skids #popculture

Does it feel like everyone is suddenly trying to live in the past? Today, we look at why we are all so obsessed with the 90s and 2000s right now. We talk about the science behind these memories and wonder if looking back is actually good for our mental health or if it is just a way to hide from a weird world full of AI and smart devices. Please visit our website for more information: https://twoawesomepeople.buzzsprout.com/

We share some of our own embarrassing stories, from Don’s middle school bowl cut to the time Kelly ended up in a 21-person landline group call where no one actually spoke. We also talk about why Gen Z is so into an era they never even lived through and how Hollywood is using our favorite childhood movies to make a quick buck.

We also go over:
The "Luddite Boyfriend" trend and why people are ditching their phones.
Old tech we actually miss (and some we definitely do not).
A game of Peak, Mid, or Cringe with Scholastic Book Fairs and Sims.
How to use these memories to actually connect with your kids.

Whether you miss the days of wired headphones or you just want to know why your kids are wearing baggy jeans again, we hope this gives you a laugh.
