More info: Instagram They’re trying to keep the feed fresh. “We like to provide our followers with a mixture of memes, questions, and simple pictures of things related to era,” they said. “This makes our page special as we don’t focus entirely on comedy. We think the reason for our success is we try to cater to everyone’s taste. Some prefer polls and questions that encourage high commenting, and some prefer a childhood meme.” “Also, our followers like posts that highlight how today’s kids don’t know the struggle we had with things like portable CD players and having phones that only had the game Snake on it.” “Nostalgia can lend us much-needed context, perspective, and direction, reminding and reassuring us that our life is not as banal as it may seem, that it is rooted in a narrative, and that there have been, and will once again be meaningful moments and experiences.” Perhaps it’s no surprise then that nostalgia often visits us at times of change or uncertainty. “The Romans had a tag for this phenomenon that modern psychologists have come to call ‘rosy retrospection’: memoria præteritorum bonorum, ‘the past is always well remembered.’” “Whilst we can’t turn back time, we see our account sort of like a time machine for people that belong to these generations and wish to do the same.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
