These 25 Cringeworthy 'Cool' Photos From The Past Have Us Rolling With Laughter

We all have that one regrettable photo from childhood that still makes us cringe. As a teen, we might have sported a look that we thought made us look cool but looking back at photos from that time now makes us laugh and cry. The idea of 'cool' is different now so these old photos look bizarre.
But what makes these teens want to appear cool? "It's during the teenage years that the ego is being formed and entrenching its identity. The ego loves to be cool because it will feel more powerful. Its sense of self-worth is being established and it gains a hold on your teenager until they can learn to strike a balance between their true self and ego self," suggests Parenting Teenagers Academy. Teenage and young adults are often harmless rebels who try to express their rebellion by dressing radically but sometimes end up looking hilariously weird. Since laughter is the best medicine, this Subreddit, Blunder Years has a collection of regrettable and funny photos of people donning weird-looking sunglasses, old-fashioned pants, and comic hairstyles. The people are laughing at themselves and at others in these "blasts from the past" images on the Reddit community.
