It’s crazy to think of stuff from the 80s as vintage, but technically it is. According to Retro Kids, items that are at least 100-years-old are considered to be antiques. Items that are at least 20 years are vintage.
However, items that are “true” vintages are considered to be at least 50-years-old. And we look fondly at these things that are 20 to 50-year-old. They inspire great memories within us.
And nothing reminds us of the “good ole’ times” better than our favorite vintage songs, movies and TV shows. They remind us of our childhoods and times spent having fun. So, sit back and take this trip down memory lane with these vintage photos.
