Nostalgia POP

Collecting and pop culture from the 1980s and 1990s

Nostalgia Pop is a digital project focused on collecting and pop culture from the 1980s and 1990s. It began in 2018 as an Instagram account under the name Retro Kid, where its creator, Victor Pasanau, shared more than 500 posts about his personal collection. The project later grew into a blog, YouTube channel, Facebook page, and Instagram account under its current name.

Content and topics

The site publishes articles and interviews in several categories:

• Toys
• Music
• Movies
• Video games
• Books and comics
• Other

Featured content includes interviews with people associated with nostalgia for those decades, such as Beatriz Rico and the creators of Los Aurones, Josep Viciana and Octavio López. Other articles cover collecting, including a series about McDonald's Happy Meal toys and a reflection on why the author collects blister-pack toys.
