Sometimes when I look around on eBay I see stuff from the 1980s and especially '90s and sometimes feel disenchanted when an item is listed as vintage- even ads from the late '90s are starting to be labeled vintage (I'm sorry, any ad with an Internet address will NEVER be nostalgia to me. It's a scary thought to think of people selling some ads with Internet address on them as "vintage" as it makes me feel old even though I'm not that old given I clearly remember a time before the Internet became commercialized!) But some people have different opinions than others. I start to get the nostalgic feeling from around the early 1990s backward, as afterword the Internet forever changed how ideals were presented along with the passage of time.
I heard Black by Pearl Jam on the radio this morning. I remember when PJ was fresh and new, the early 1990s. It's been 20 years since that song came out. Damn.
I get a little nostalgic for 1995 and earlier.....
I remember telling my buddy not to spend $650 on a DVD player. I said the price is bound to come down. He said, "Nah, this is about as cheap as they're gonna get."
Cell phones existed pre 1995, but they weren't ubiquitous yet.
The Internet was still kind of a novelty for most of us.
There are a lot of personal reasons I look back fondly on this period in time.....

Welcome to old age! LOL
The "good ol' days" are dependent upon the passage of time and how well one adapts to the new reality.
For me, a sense of nostalgia sets in when recalling the 1950's and early 60's, but that does not mean I'd like to return to those days. Sans the skewered observations of youth, it really wasn't all that grand back then.
I'll admit, though, that songs from the 80's and early 90's being played on the "oldies" stations is somewhat disconcerting and I still have trouble with aircraft from my war (Vietnam) being so ancient that they're on display outside VFW's and American Legions!
The late 90s for my childhood. But overall, I would say the 50s.
