I'm not nostalgic about anything from my childhood in the 80s/90s. We didn't even have internet.

Riding around in the backseat of my mom's 1980 VW Scirocco and singing "girl you know it yes you now it's true ooo ooo ooo I love youuuu" was pretty sweet.

You could do that today, though. I guess you would probably have to substitute some other car for the Scirocco, but it's not worth getting nostalgic over.

This nostalgic crap is bullshit anyway.  All of the rough ridin' 60's sucked, thats why people had to smoke so much dope.  Literally every measurable of life factor is better, today.

Lower-middle class families families in the 50s/60s could afford a house, car(s), and they didn't have to pay for their kid's college education because it was feasible for them to work their way through school. All of that on one income. I'd say that quite a few folks would sign up for that deal right now. That's not nostalgia, that's a robust economy coupled with a very strong currency.

There is video of a young SdK singing "blame it on the rain." I was in Germany singing it too!

Just stumbled on this image that I'd never seen before.  Relevant to the 60s, marching bands, tracks at football stadiums...
