Oh, what a wonderful year 2015 was. We were all a bit more innocent back then, weren’t we? Just thinking about it makes me happy and strangely makes me want to hoard unopened action figures and pristine snap bracelets.

Childhood was a carefree time in most of our lives, a time we’d all love to get back to. But can those hyper-colored glasses be trusted? Chances are what we loved about our childhood–the moves, the music, the toys–probably aren’t nearly as great as we remember them. So today we look back on fond childhood landmarks to objectively ask ourselves if these things tokens of nostalgia were really that good.

• the Atari 2600
• The Lost Boys
• American Beauty
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
• Nirvana
• Chuck E. Cheese
• The Goonies
• Seinfeld
