Who wants in? We can talk about what is was like to write a letter to your grandma or having no other way to ask someone out other than by calling them on the phone. Or checking out movies at Blockbuster or whatever your national equivalent was (we usually checked out videos at the grocery store, actually).

We’re cool because we can actually remember the USSR and “East” Germany. Although not as cool, I can remember when homophobia and transphobia was so much more widely accepted and the “default” position for most Americans. Not as cool.

I would be in but I'm worried that a reminiscing club is a bit too boomer energy.

"I'm not a boomer" I scream repeatedly into the void while I share memes I found on Facebook with my scattered acquiantances

As long as you're not being nostalgic for the wrong reasons, I think it's acceptable. We're not lamenting about younger generations not knowing how to write in cursive or balance a checkbook.
