Nostalgia in a broad sense is a sentimentality for the past, something that is associated with happy memories. When we look at photos from our childhood or our youth, we often have this feeling. But some pictures from the past are really funny as well as warm and kind. We were really cool when we were young, we had crazy fashion and were ready to do anything insane — and these photos prove it!

Bright Side has collected pictures of users from the Internet that will help you remember how cool and trendy you used to be.
