Each New Year brings the opportunity to take a long look back at our last 12 months and make plans for the ones to come. It’s also yet another opportunity to remind ourselves that, wow, we are getting old.
We wound the clock all the way back to 1990 to take a look at the people, movies, television, music, and products celebrating their big 2-5 in 2015. You might be surprised by what popped up along with all the flashy, neon fashion choices. We may be getting older, but at least parachute pants aren’t still a thing.
