The Internet is a judgmental place. We “like” something or we don’t; we “upvote” or we “downvote.” Despite the harsh atmosphere of a Roman coliseum, sometimes things that just aren’t that cool get undue love.

Let's take a second look at some of the pop culture relics we've immortalized in list and meme. Before you click through that next BuzzFeed list or obsess over a Full House reunion, take a look at these 13 Things The Internet is Nostalgic For That Really Suck.
