Hello polyglots 😀
This is a list of things that recall the good old days exclusive to some generations (i.e. not so popular any longer) for common people.
New generations don't understand why they are so primitive but old generations enjoyed them. Only time will explain this.
If a thing has been popular through several decades, then categorise it to the last one.
Feel free to complete this wiki page if needed.
