If you want to understand what happens when people stop having kids while life expectancy keeps rising, look no further than Japan.

The country's population is falling faster than ever before, and it's prompted economists to call the nation a "demographic time bomb" — defined as a place where fertility rates are falling at the same time that longevity is increasing. 

Some experts have even created their own doomsday clock for when Japan will go extinct.

But Japan just happens to be the most extreme case of what's happening in a number of countries around the world. People are working longer hours, fertility rates are falling, and future economies are being put at risk.

Here are just some of the countries that could become demographic time bombs over the next 20 years.

Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, the government is faced with a striking gender imbalance; women outnumber men at nearly every age bracket above 25.

The imbalance is mainly due to men seeking women up north, in mainland China, as the women there are sometimes viewed as less choosy than in Hong Kong, according to experts in gender studies. Each year, the city also brings in thousands of foreign domestic helpers (who are almost always female) from countries like Indonesia and the Philippines.

The two trends have coalesced into a tense climate for younger generations.

Singapore

Singapore has the lowest fertility rate in the world, at just 0.81 children per woman.

On August 9, 2012, the Singaporean government held National Night, an event sponsored by the breath-mint company Mentos, to encourage couples to "let their patriotism explode."

Like Japan, the country is also experiencing widespread aging. Without younger generations to replace them in the workforce, the economy could begin to shrink.

China

A fifth of the world's population lives in China. But with a fertility rate of 1.60 and a culture that is becoming more reclusive, men and women are increasingly choosing not to date, let alone get married and have kids.

There are entire industries devoted to livestream stars, with millions of viewers — men, primarily — who pay to watch people sing, dance, or just eat soup. Multiplied out, they have created a generation that often prefers alone time.

From the earliest days of his career, the writing of Stephen Edwin King (along with close friend and pseudonym cancer victim Richard Bachman) has thrilled and terrified readers around the globe with tales of killer clowns, haunted hotels, and demented game shows broadcast in dystopian futures – to much critical and financial acclaim.

Of course, with success comes the perpetually originality-deficient Hollywood and its desires for film adaptations of anything that could make a splash in pop culture. For King, first on the silver screen came Carrie, and coming up next will be a proper adaptation of the Pennywise-starring IT later in September of this year.

Though those two stories have gone on to be remembered by countless people, sometimes, versions of Mr. King’s work that are adapted into a different form don’t leave a lasting legacy.

With that, here are 15 movies and TV shows you didn't know were Stephen King adaptations. 

If you haven’t seen or read these films, you might want to skim through the titles, because the write-ups contain SPOILERS!

15. "Stand By Me"

Directed by former All in the Family star Rob Reiner in the earliest days of his career behind the camera, the 1986 film Stand by Me tells the story of childhood friends who go on a trek to find the body of a missing young man in 1960s Oregon.

In the film, children come of age, iconic moments occur, and viewers get to witness a fictional character played by a young Kiefer Sutherland that bears a strong resemblance to what actual Kiefer Sutherland looks like when he’s on a bender.

What most people don’t know is that the piece comes from a short story written by Stephen King. First published in 1982 in a short story collection called Different Seasons, and later shaped into a novella, The Body differs from its silver screen adaptation in a number of ways. None of King analogue Gordie’s friends survive into adulthood, and in the end of the piece, the character comes close to the Sutherland-played antagonist Ace in the future – a stark contrast to the final act of the beloved ’80s film.

14. "The Lawnmower Man"

Released at the dawn of the Clinton administration, this 1992 film is the rare King adaptation in that the author loathed it so much that he sued to have his name taken off the piece and emerged victorious in court, arguing that it bore no resemblance whatsoever to his original short story.

In the film, there are intelligent chimps trained for warfare, a mentally disabled man whom Pierce Brosnan’s fictional scientist Dr. Angelo experiments on to make intelligent (side note: wow, that bit would be condemned today) and a weird sexual storyline with a widow. The movie tanked and ended up with the standard sub-par straight to video sequel a few years later.

Maybe the film would’ve worked better had it adapted King’s actual story…well…maybe not. In the original short, a naked man follows a lawnmower and eats the grass behind it, and later on, the god Pan gets referenced just before the police arrive to investigate a brutal slaughter. It’s certainly not the most normal story by any means.

13. "Needful Things"

Another ‘90s adaptation of one of King’s works, Needful Things is a story about a supernatural antique shop in the often-visited setting of Castle Rock, Maine that frequently appears in King’s writing. In the piece, Max Von Sydow’s Leland Gaunt (read: Satan) manipulates residents of the area and generally causes chaos in the town before moving on to sow discord elsewhere.

Even though the film had a great cast with luminaries such as Ed Harris and the late and beloved scumbag character actor J.T Walsh giving their all, it was not a success. Currently, it sports a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Now, to be fair, at the time the piece was released, ads did mention that it was based on Stephen King’s original short story. But catching the film on some 3rd rate cable channel today at any point before the beginning and end credits, you wouldn’t realize it’s from the same man who gave us Christine and Children of the Corn.

Instagram can often be a breeding ground for promoting unrealistic body image ideals.

That's why London-based fitness blogger Lucy Mountain is all about being upfront and being herself when she posts on the platform.

Mountain has two accounts: The Fashion Fitness Foodie and theFFFeed. TheFFFeed features food comparisons that are meant to encourage people to stop viewing foods as "healthy" or "unhealthy." With them, Mountain proves that our idea of what makes a healthy snack is totally skewed — and that often junk food isn't that much worse.

Keep scrolling to see some of Mountain's photos and to read more about her approach to eating. 

Mountain likes to show that foods that have been deemed "healthy"— like almonds— often have just as many calories as foods that have been deemed "unhealthy"— like candy.

She makes the point that while the "healthy" food typically has more micronutrients, it's not about that or the number calories.

It's about eating what you want and what's going to make you feel best.

Smartphones aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It'll be another decade (or more) before your digital life is projected into the world around you, viewed through seemingly magical augmented-reality glasses.

You know the kind: The Google Glasses of the world, worn like sunglasses, which appear to "project" stuff like email or directions directly into reality when they're actually just overlaying your vision with digital information.

For many folks in Silicon Valley, augmented reality is an inevitable evolution of the current smartphone-obsessed world we live in. That begs the question: What will that world look like? A new Xbox One and PC game called "Tacoma" offers a vision into that worryingly-believable future.

Let's take a look.

SEE ALSO: Nintendo is about to release a miniature version of the original SNES — here's everything we know about it

In "Tacoma," set in 2088, you're an employee sent to explore an abandoned space station (named "Tacoma"). You can watch employee AR logs to unravel the game's story. In reality, that means you can watch their their lives play out through ghostly silhouettes and voice recordings.

In the future where "Tacoma" is set, employees of the Venturis corporation are working on a space station. A condition of their employment is having their entire lives recorded through augmented reality. As a result, your exploration of the now-abandoned space station is filled with ghostly replays of their lives.

In a nod to another potential AR feature of the not-so-distant future, each employee's job is designated by the symbol on their back. Above, the station medic plays a game of pool.

If these skeletal frames look familiar, maybe you've seen motion-sensing cameras in action before. Microsoft's Kinect, for example, views humans through a similar perspective.

The skeletal frames recorded by the space station's monitoring system enable the player to see a surprising amount of human interaction. 

In this instance, you can see a surprising amount of detail even with just superficial skeletal tracking. One man makes an argument to a group of people while they react in a variety of different ways.

Also of note: ID tags pop up over people, like in a virtual world. There are a variety of less-than-savory connotations to this concept — perhaps those ID tags also show annual income, or other status measurements — but in the world of "Tacoma," it's solely used as a personnel badge.

Imagine this concept playing out in real life, though:

You go to meet your friend at Central Park, but it's huge. Where are they?! You call your friend, and their face pops up a foot away from your own on a projected screen. "Where are you?" you ask. "Right here," your friend says — and instantly, a real-world indicator shows their location. Your AR glasses guide you to the friend, seamlessly, while walking — projecting directions into the world around you. No stopping to check your phone or look on Google Maps or whatever else. It's this promise that makes AR so appealing, and the logical successor to smartphones.

There are a lot of single "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" contestants who are left looking for love and still want to be on TV.

So ABC decided to take some of those rejected contestants and fly them to a remote tropical resort in Mexico, and let the drama unfold on "Bachelor in Paradise."

Season four of "Bachelor in Paradise" premieres Monday night, despite fears that the show would be cancelled. 

Season four's production had been halted temporarily following allegations of "misconduct" on the set involving two controversial contestants, that many speculated could result in the end of this ratings juggernaut.

A producer on the show allegedly filed a "third-party complaint" tied to "misconduct" involving contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson. The incident was reportedly related to a drunken hook-up caught on camera.

After an investigation into the incident, ABC said no "misconduct" had occurred on the show and filming resumed. Corinne and DeMario are both expected to attend the "Bachelor in Paradise" reunion. 

So what's the recipe for ABC's hit drama? A lot of booze, attractive people, bikinis, crying, and constant plot twists.

Here's everything you need to know about the scandalous reality show before the premiere:

Chris Harrison, who hosts "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette," is also the host of "Bachelor in Paradise."

At the beginning of the season, a dozen single people arrive at a resort in Mexico. There are twice as many single women as there are men.

Immediately, couples begin to form. The guys mostly get snatched up, but a bunch of the women are left loveless.

The most complacent stock market in history was shocked to attention last week after fiery comments from President Donald Trump about North Korea ratcheted up geopolitical tensions worldwide.

The S&P 500 dropped 1.5%, the most since May, as investors sought the relative safety of Treasury bonds and gold, clearly shaken by the potential for military escalation.

The benchmark index bounced back in a big way on Monday, climbing more than 1%, showing that there's still appetite for buying on weakness. It's a dynamic that's played out time and time again over the eight-year bull market, and it's helped keep the rally afloat through some tough times.

But there are cracks forming in the foundation of the equity rally slowly but surely. If you know where to look, there's no shortage of signs investors are feeling increasingly uneasy.

Here are three charts that show stock traders are not as confident about the market as Monday's relief rally would have you believe:

The stock market's fear gauge is spiking

Thursday's 44% spike in the VIX brought the fear gauge's three-day increase to 62%, which was the most since mid-2015 for a period of that length. This is significant because Trump's verbal escalation of the North Korea situation was deemed to be more anxiety-inspiring than some other major geopolitical events.

When faced with the UK's decision to leave the European Union, stocks sold off sharply, yet the VIX didn't spike to the degree it did last week. The fear gauge also failed to reach recent heights from just after the US presidential election, one of the biggest sources of market uncertainty in recent years.

A new volatility regime is being priced in

Now that we've discussed the VIX, what about expected volatility on the fear gauge itself? There's a handy measure for that, the CBOE VIX Volatility Index, or VVIX.

While the VIX spiked the most since May last Thursday, the VVIX did it one better, rising by the most since August 2015. In fact, the ratio of the VVIX relative to the VIX reached the highest ever, according to data compiled by Goldman Sachs.

Goldman isn't yet ready to say the volatility regime is shifting entirely, but the historically high ratio signals that markets are already bracing for more turbulent conditions.

Bearish puts on South Korean stocks are surging

The worry that rocked stocks worldwide last week was no more prevalent than in the South Korean market. The MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) dropped 2.5% on Thursday, and fell 4.6% for the week.

Even more intriguing was the enormous volume in put contracts betting on a decline in EWY. It reached almost 70,000 units on Thursday, the most since early 2014, and totaled roughly 125,000 for the week, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Clearly investors are adopting a defensive, if not outright bearish, stance on South Korean equities as tensions boil. However, as Strategas Research Partners points out in the chart, the surge in put volume could be considered bullish — the logic being that the resulting weakness makes it easier to buy the dip, and also that sentiment isn't getting overextended to the upside.

Approximately 1.4 billion people — roughly 20% of the world's population — live in China.

By 2020, China aims to move 100 million of those people from rural areas into cities — a goal the government unveiled in 2013 in its 23-year plan for urbanization. By 2026, China hopes to move 250 million into cities. The country hopes that relocating people into urban environments will give the economy a big boost.

The plan is relatively new, but China has been urbanizing for the last 40 years. As The Guardian notes, China now has over 600 cities, many of which were small towns and farms just a few decades ago. The majority were built in order to alleviate pressure on overcrowded cities, like Shanghai and Beijing.

The country's exponential population growth is evident in the time-lapse images, captured by Google satellites. Check out the images below:

A new megacity, called Xiongan, is set to be built near Beijing in an attempt to take pressure off the larger metropolis. Beijing's satellite urban districts and suburbs, like like Fengtai and Shijingshan, have also seen exponential population growth in recent years.

In less than three years on the PGA Tour, 24-year-old Justin Thomas has already accomplished more than most professional golfers ever do.

On Sunday, Thomas shot a steady 68 to win the PGA Championship by two strokes, joining good buddy Jordan Spieth as two major champions under the age of 25. The Kentucky native had already experienced some significant brushes with history this season, shooting a 59 at the Sony Open back in January and a record-tying 63 at the U.S. Open in June.

Golf fanatics already knew what to expect from the hugely talented Thomas, but more casual followers will want to know more about the latest arrival to the world's elite stage. Check out these facts on Thomas' luxurious life and fast-developing career.

Thomas trailed by two at the start of the PGA Championship's final round, but a Sunday 68 left him as the last man standing at Quail Hollow.

It was the fifth PGA Tour victory of his career, but his first in the mainland United States.

Thomas jump-started his career with a win at the 2015 CIMB Classic in Malaysia. He successfully defended his title last year.

There are a lot of decisions you have to make when getting into a new relationship with someone: when to meet each other's families and friends, how often you should see each other, and when you should have sex for the first time. 

Every relationship moves at its own pace, and the most optimal time you should have sex is whenever you're both comfortable with it. But if you're stressing out about wanting to wait for a little into your relationship in order to do the deed, you might actually be onto something.

INSIDER spoke to experts about the benfits of waiting a bit to have sex with your partner.

You'll know if you can trust them.

Having sex can put you in a vulnerable position. For many people, waiting to have sex can allow them to see if the person they're about to get into bed with is someone that they can have faith in.

The more you get to know someone, the more you can suss out their character, and try to figure out if they're someone who won't take advantage of you, won't go further than your limits, and will respect you.

"There's less worry that you'll never see the person again, and more comfort that he or she is interested in you as a person," marriage and family therapist Jill Whitney told INSIDER. "You've had time to begin opening up emotionally and found that your partner was kind and un-hurtful — the sort of person you'd feel more comfortable sleeping with." 

You'll have a better idea of what you both like.

Even if you're not having sex with someone, you should feel free to talk about it. The longer you wait to have sex with your partner, the more you can have conversations about your sexual preferences, limits, kinks, and fantasies. 

"You’ll become confident about experimenting with the host of diverse positions and techniques, and when anything doesn’t quite go according to plan you’ll easily shrug it off rather than being impaled with the awkwardness that often comes with first date fumbling,"Alex Reddle, chief editor of Flirt.com, told INSIDER. "Once you are completely comfortable with one another, fully appreciative of personality traits and able to anticipate preferences and subtle mood swings, engaging in sex will become way more fulfilling."

Anticipation can make the whole thing sweeter.

Waiting for sex may be difficult at times, but building up the anticipation before going all the way with someone can make it even better. 

When you wait, you build up sexual tension and fantasies, which can make the whole thing way more fun, Whitney said.

"One big loss of moving to sex too quickly is that you don't get the excitement of anticipating it," she told INSIDER. "It can be thrilling to think about what you're going to experience with this person when you're both ready. You can look forward to it, fantasize about it, maybe talk about it — and that's really sexy. The two of you get to savor the messing-around stage and learn each other's body. It's fun."

Clear your schedule — a wave of new museums, attractions, and landmarks have just sprung up across the globe.

Here are the ones on our radar, from the Zaha Hadid-designed Napoli-Afragola High Speed Train Station to Disney's new "Avatar"-inspired theme park.

Pierre Boulez Saal

There's not a bad seat in the house at Berlin's Pierre Boulez Saal, a modular 360-degree space designed by Frank Gehry and world-renowned Japanese acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota. The wood-clad theatre hall features two oval seating areas — one that surrounds the stage, the other, a cantilevered disk that appears to hover above the graceful space. 

As well as being a bold spatial concept, the concert hall, which was conceived as a part of the new Barenboim-Said Academy —a school that strives to unite Arabs and Israelis through music — also makes a powerful public cultural statement.

Huanghan Mountain Village

Beijing-based architect Ma Yansong is known for designing some of China's most daring new buildings (see: Sheraton Huzhou Hot Spring Resort and the Harbin Opera House). His latest project — a futuristic-looking residential settlement in the Hunagshan mountains — is arguably his most ambitious to date.

A-10 Thunderbolts from the Maryland Air National Guard's 104th Fighter Squadron are in Estonia this month as part of Operation Atlantic Resolve.

During an exercise on August 10, A-10s took off from Amari Air Base, but, rather than return to the tarmac there, they practiced landing and taking off from a section of highway in northern Estonia.

The A-10 is well suited for such takeoffs and landings, as its wide tires and high ground clearance make it less susceptible to damage from obstacles or objects on the ground.

In the footage below, published by Berlin-based media outlet Ruptly TV, which is part of the same media network as RT, you can see Thunderbolts performing their drills on what is known as Piibe highway.

Members of the Estonian Defense Forces set up a temporary danger zone around the area, and 8 US special-tactics combat controllers from the 321st Special Tactics Squadron were on hand to survey the two-lane highway, manage the airspace, and perform command and control on the ground and in the air in order to land A-10s, according to the Air Force.

This is not the first occasion on which A-10s have trained on an Estonian roadway.

In June 2016, four Thunderbolts from the 127th Wing of the Michigan Air National Guard, taking part in the US Army-led exercise called Saber Strike, landed on a highway in the Baltic country.

The 2016 version of the drill was the first time it had been done since 1984.

After World War II and during the Cold War, highways were considered an option for fixed-wing aircraft, as the locations of primary runways were well known and they were likely to be targeted in the event of war.

Sections of the German Autobahn have long been designated for such use; there are some parts of that highway network that NATO planners built specifically to handle NATO planes. In 2015, fighter jets from Finland and Sweden practiced landing and taking off from a highway in Finland.

Below, you can see more photos of the A-10s in action in Estonia.

Disney Channel saw a resurgence in popularity with its huge hit shows in the early 2000s.

From "Lizzie McGuire" to "That's so Raven," these beloved shows help launch the careers of teen actors like Hilary Duff and Raven-Symoné. 

Before he was a blockbuster movie actor, Shia LaBeouf was the hilarious lead on "Even Stevens." And before she was selling out national tours, Selena Gomez played a wizard on Disney Channel.

How did these stars and more from the era fare?

Here's what some of your favorite Disney stars have been up to since their hit shows ended. 

Hilary Duff quickly became a teen idol on "Lizzie McGuire" as the titular character.

The young actress continued as a teen favorite in movies like "A Cinderella Story" and "Raise Your Voice." She's currently starring on "Younger."

Lalaine Vergara-Paras played one of Lizzie's best friends, Miranda.

Google could release the latest version of the Android operating system, called Android O, within the next few weeks.

Android O could be released as soon as the week of August 21, "most likely on the 21st itself," prolific gadgets leaker Evan Blass tweeted on Monday.

Android O will be the eighth generation of the Android operating system, and it'll be an incremental update with performance, feature, and design improvements rather than a major overhaul.

It's likely that Google's own Pixel smartphones will be the first recipients of Android O if it is actually released on August 21. Indeed, Google's own devices usually get the updates first, and third-party phones get them much later.

Check out some of the best updates coming to your smartphone with Android O:

1. You can finally get the battery life percentage in the Android status bar!

Mysteriously, Google outright omitted the option to add the battery life percentage in the stock Android operating system in the past. Now, however, it looks like its making its way into Android O. 

2. Your phone will boot up faster, and Android O will be optimized for better overall app performance and battery life.

3. Notification badges on app icons indicate that you have a notification from an app. In Android O, you can press and hold the app icon to show you the notification.

On the spectrum of fun, airport layovers fall somewhere between visiting the dentist and doing your taxes. They're an occasionally necessary, but often dreadfully boring part of the travel experience. Although it doesn't have to all be that bad — if you know a few layover secrets and tricks.

Here are some lesser known things to do when stuck in the biggest airports across the US — from yoga rooms to athletic clubs — which will make your next airport layover far more bearable.

Experience canine therapy in Denver

Traveling can be stressful even under the best of circumstances. So to help ease travel-related tension on your next layover in Denver International Airport, track down one of the airport's therapy dogs and spend some quality time hugging, petting or even taking a selfie with man's best friend. Members of the Canine Airport Therapy Squad (aka CATS) can be seen strolling around the airport wearing "Pet Me" vests.

Watch a movie at Portland International Airport

As part of its art program, the Portland International Airport opened a 17-seat movie theater in early 2017 to show short films that tell stories specific to the Pacific Northwest. Located on Concourse C, the theater is free and allows travelers to drop in and watch a film while waiting for a flight. The films are all family-friendly and play repeatedly on a one-hour loop.

Minivans are often stigmatized as boring vehicles designed to haul around families, but the stigma is unfair. Yes, a lot of parents drive their kids around in minivans. But that's because minivans are perfectly designed for the job.

Easy-sliding doors, lots of places to plug in and recharge devices, seating for up to eight people, ample cargo space, dozens of cupholders, and decent fuel economy without sacrificing power — what's not to love for a family of four, five, or more?

Over the decades, the minivan has been steadily improved, and these days many families see the segment as a two-horse race between the Honda Odyssey and the Toyota Sienna, with the new Chrysler Pacifica often in the conversation as well.

Here's what happens to those vehicles once they enter daily duty: they endure a parade of horribles when it comes to dirt, sand, crud, and spilled goldfish crackers. I owned a 2007 Honda Odyssey and had to go to the car wash for a vacuuming at least twice a month.

For the 2014 model year, Honda addressed minivan owners' pain by adding a storable, onboard vacuum cleaner as an option. (It adds $2,500 to the price of the top trim level, bundled with a premium sound system).

We recently reviewed the latest Odyssey. Here' what we thought of the HondaVac.

The mighty Odyssey minivan, going strong in the USA since 1994. This is the newest version.

Tucked away in the rear cargo area is this — an onboard vacuum cleaner, the HondaVac!

It's made by Shop-Vac, and as long as the engine is running, it can run for as long as you want (it will run for about 10 minutes on the battery if the engine is off). Best of all, it has a 16-foot hose, to reach all parts of the minivan.

A new mansion has just hit the market in Beverly Hills.

At $80 million, it's one of the most expensive houses on the market in the US. With 28,000 square feet of space, it's also one of the largest.

The property is being sold by retail CEO  Albert Elkouby, a property developer who also owns an apparel company called JH Design. The house was previously listed two years ago for $72 million, but it failed to sell in its half-finished state.

Described as a "French Chateau" in the listing, Elkouby's home has every luxurious amenity and excess imaginable. 

Sam Real of Nest Seekers International has the listing.

The 1.5-acre property was landscaped to look like it belonged in the French countryside.

The entrance is grandiose and unflinching.

Inside, two marble staircases lead to the second floor of the two-story foyer.

LONDON – The proportion of people moving UK regions for work has declined since 2000, which could be contributing to poor wage growth and productivity, as fewer people find jobs best suited to their skills.

That's according to a new report by the Resolution Foundation, which shows that the number of people who moved region for work last year (around 140,000) was about the same as it was at the turn of the millennium, despite population growth.

Mobility started to pick up again once the economy improved since the 2008 financial crisis.

But overall internal migration remains low — despite the decline in home ownership, the growth in technology and the slowdown in young people getting married and having children, all of which seem to support greater mobility.

The share of working-age people moving region for work has fallen by about 25% since 2001, and only about 140,000 people moved for work last year. This is despite the fact that traditionally more mobile groups, like renters, graduates and migrants, have all grown in size.

The most significant decline has been among younger graduates: graduates under 35 were 5.7 times more likely to move than non graduates in the late 1990s, but are now just three times as likely.

The UK has also become more reliant on migrants to provide what mobility there is — although migrants too are now moving less. With further falls in net migration likely in the near future, says the report, the government should think about the impact this will have on the UK labour market's ability to send labour where it is most needed.

The Premier League launched 25 years ago today.

Since 1992, the competition has become a glossy, multi-billion pound industry, renowned all over the world, and home to some of the biggest sporting names on the planet.

The league has produced iconic moments, now brandished into football folklore. We've seen Dennis Bergkamp pirouette past the Newcastle United defence, heard how Kevin Keegan would "love it" if he beat Manchester United, and witnessed Sir Alex Ferguson build an unmatched legacy.

But the Premier League wasn't always such slick machine. The league's 25-year milestone has provoked an outpouring of nostalgia on social media, with people fondly remembering its more humble beginnings.

From Sky Sport's first Premier League trailer (set to the sound of Simple Minds), to dodgy kits, and retro footballs, here are some amazing memories from the Premier League's auspicious inception.

Sky's first promotional film for the Premier League is delightfully retro.

Today, footballers in England are responsible for setting trends in fashion. But one look back at Sky's video shows that some dress senses are better left forgotten.

And here's the first ever Premier League edition of "Match of the Day."

The BBC's iconic football highlights show had the same music as it does now. Twenty-five years on, it still manages to draw a crowd, with 4.8 million people watching this season's opening episode.

This is the first Premier League goal.

Does it get any more English than this? Route one. A two-touch goal following a long throw-in. Who says you need to use your feet?
