I remember a lot more of those stick-on glow in the dark plastic stars, if nothing else.

Everywhere. Living room, bathrooms, heck even McDonald's booths. Those little barely glowing stars were all over.

How did those fall out of style

Oh man, you reminded me of LED magnetic throwies, just little homemade LEDs with a watch battery and a magnet. Throw em wherever they'll stick, they're like $.50 to make. Seems like the 00s version, if a little less ubiquitous

We just wanted to bring a little light into this dark world with pretty glowing stickers, if anyone killed it, it was these damn boomers and their rock and roll music.

Hey, my kids both have them. I put them up as the night sky when they were born, so all the constellations are more or less in the right place.

... My kid frowns upon your heresy.
