A nostalgic trend has been circulating on social media: posting pictures of what you were doing a decade ago, in 2016. It got us thinking about the power of nostalgia, especially for midlifers: it eases stress, reinforces identity, and offers an emotional shelter when the present feels unstable. Our memories—especially from formative decades, like the 1990s for Millennials—don't just remind us of a simpler time in human history, but a simpler time in our own lives, filled with wonder.

So we're turning back the clock on this week's episode of The Midlife Guys, with the hosts looking at the power of nostalgia and how it's factoring into Millennial lives. Then we'll flip to our own favourite nostalgic moments, from Blockbuster visits to dial-up internet sounds.
