People Are Sharing The Trends From Yesteryear That They Really, Really Want To See Come Back
You know when people always talk about the good 'ol days? There are just some things that the past did better. When a Redditor asked on r/AskReddit, "What's a good trend that slowly disappeared, but you'd like to see it making a comeback?" the answers poured in, and it was like entering a time capsule. Here's what people had to say: 1."Social media before advertisements, when it was just actual friends that you knew in real life and their albums of drunk photos from the weekend." Rotten Tomatoes Trailers / Via — Pleasant_Detail5697 "Timelines/feeds being defaulted to the most recent thing your friends posted instead of a stupid algorithm that's just trying to get me to stay on the app as long as possible." — hippstr1990 2."7AM and 6PM news and nothing more. Edit: I know there was other time slots but you get it." — angelicbitch09 "You don't want it ON THE HOUR ON THE HALF AND WHEN IT BREAKS???" — Historical_Tennis494 3."My parents watch a lot of HGTV. My god, they take homes and turn them into warehouses. Any non-load-bearing walls are taken out, and everything is painted white. Did we all just decide personalities are uncool?" — rainshowers_5_peace "Personality hurts resale 🥹." — PleaseGiveMeSnacc 4."When companies weren't afraid to make electronics FUN. Everything was translucent and came in, like, seven different colors. Atomic purple Game Boys, kiwi green iMacs, the see-through landline phones... Now, my options for a $1,000 phone are black, slightly less black, and sad beige. I miss when our tech had personality." — BlueeWaater 5."A company answering their phone." — No-Music-1994 "A company even having a phone number to call." — SoybeanArson "Real customer service instead of chatbots!!" — mayaaxo69 6."Leaving the house and not being reachable. A good 'Hey, I'm going out. Talk to you when I'm back.' No Life360, read receipts, and constant texting. Just pure freedom and vibes." — ShyLittleBrunette 7."When people see others having a problem in front of them in the real world, they pull out their phone instead of helping." — BlackFoxx 8."Kids getting hooked on reading, like when the Harry Potter series became famous." — boredproggy 9."Self-serve froyo places on every corner." Matthewennisphotography / Getty Images, ShotShare / Getty Images — keatonpotat0es 10."Not scrolling through your phone in the cinema!" — cheshire_kat7 11."Dance Dance Revolution." — Twostepsfromlost2 12."Similarly, I remember having a lot of fun playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band with friends back in the day." — icecream_specialist 13."Conspiracy theorists used to be seen as nut jobs. Now, every person has at least one conspiracy theory that they believe to be the truth." — No-Cauliflower-4661 14."U.S. presidents debating issues instead of having the equivalent of a rambling diss track with each other." — AlligatorMidwife 15."Critical thinking." — ginger_minge "I'll take common sense at this point." — mxjxs91 16."Housing affordability." — Intrepid-Artist-595 17."Democracy." — Potential_Sun6667 18."Manners and people forming their own thoughts and opinions instead of following whatever is popular online." — Zealous03 19."Punctuation! Paragraphs, and full words written out!" — fromhelley 20."Planking." The Office / Via — juancn 21."Pokémon GO." – Spirochrome "People going out to explore parks and cities and getting excited with Pokémon GO was fun. I know some still do, but it was a nice time." — Vanishingf0x 22."I really miss getting tons of Christmas cards in the mail and hanging them up for the season. It was such a nice little thing wishing you well, and it felt good to celebrate relations that way." The Office / Via — The_barking_ant "I still send them every year. DM me your address." — wuapinmon 23."One exciting Blockbuster movie in the summer, around the 4th like they used to." finally, "POGS." — Lou_Garoup The nostalgia is heavy with this one! 🥹 What other yesteryear things do you miss?

E! News gets the axe again
It's a terrible month to be a long-running entertainment news show. E! News is the latest legacy brand to get the axe after CBS announced the end of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last Thursday. Variety reports that the decision came from E! Network itself, 'as it looks to leverage its brand of entertainment coverage and commentary across digital and social platforms.' (For the record, Deadline has a slightly different read. It reports that the decision was passed down by Versant, the fledgling company in charge of the NBCUniversal cable channels Comcast sloughed off during its breakup.) While this decision is presumably as money motivated as the Late Show cancellation (at least as claimed by CBS), it's somewhat less surprising. The trades point out that the ways people consume pop culture news have changed dramatically since the show was first launched in 1991. People now get most of that information from their phones and social media, which reduces the need for a nightly news program. In that vein, E! fans don't have to despair entirely. The E! News brand will continue on digital platforms, with a focus on social media. Deadline reports that the show actually saw some pretty major growth on Instagram, TikTok, and the like in 2024, with viewership across all digital and social content up 50% from the previous year. In addition to the TV broadcast, the brand currently airs several shows on social media, including E! News' The Rundown on Snapchat, Hot Goss on Instagram, RE!CAP on YouTube. E! News will air its last broadcast half-hour on September 25. This actually isn't the first time the long-running show has been canceled. It was previously axed in 2020, but sprang back to life in 2022 after two years. Who knows—maybe fans will once again be able to watch E!
