This is mostly just about when you were born, but which decade would you say you’re the most nostalgic for right now? A new poll looked into it. And yes, the ’90s have surpassed the ’80s.
1. The 1990s are the most nostalgic decade for 24% of Americans.
2. The 1980s . . . 22%
3. The 2000s . . . 18%
4. The 1970s . . . 17%
5. The 1960s . . . 11%. But the 2010s could pass the ’60s soon. 9% said it’s their most nostalgic decade.
It also looked at the top ’90s THINGS we’re nostalgic for. The top five are ’90s music, ’90s movies and TV shows, ’90s video games, ’90s fashion, and a tie between ’90s sports and ’90s toys.
(If it takes 25 to 30 years for a decade to hit the top of the list, that means we’ll all be nostalgic for ChatGPT and “Brat summer” starting around 2050.)
