The year is 1995. You're still hungry after forcing down the slice of something rubbery the school cafeteria tried to pass off as pizza for lunch, and you're swapping collectible cards with your friends of whatever is trending that week. You know that when you get home, you can play on your Gameboy, the most technologically advanced thing you own. Life is good. Sound familiar? Then these things will trigger all the nostalgia within you at the deepest level.
1980s
The thing with fashion is that some styles can resurface after many years, so you never know whether to hold onto a vintage item or throw it away. But some trends need to stay dead and buried, like these ugly 1980s sweaters. Knowing hipsters today, they'll bring them back but make them super expensive, and we will laugh at those too. But for now, we're laughing at these hideously ugly sweaters that people probably thought were so cool back in the day. Cringe!

Michael Jang had been hired to take a photograph of each person who auditioned for the job of weather reporter at a San Francisco TV station, which was having a contest to fill the position: "In 1983, a local TV station held a contest for anyone who wanted a chance at reporting the weather. My role was to take head shots of contestants after each screen test. Five winners were chosen out of nearly one hundred applicants. The pictures were never used, but I developed the negatives anyway (without proofing them). These images had been lost until recently and I am seeing them for the very first time." "Summer Weather" is the series of these headshots, and they are a unique look at a very specific segment of 1980s life. Via: Design you trust/ Vintag.es
