Can you believe the beloved Calvin and Hobbes has been around for 34 years already? We know, it's pretty surreal given that many of us grew up looking forward to the comics, created by Bill Watterson, in the newspaper. We love it for its relatable wittiness, adorable charm and the occasional bout of existential dread!
90s
Twitter's #ImOldEnoughToRememberWhen is making us '90s kids feel exceptionally nostalgic and, if we're being honest, a little old.
Kids today will never understand the struggle of having to keep a Tamagotchi alive, or of trying not to get caught passing handwritten notes in class. Like, what are today's kids even wasting their time on in class? vaping in AP history? Watching cat videos on their iPhones? Someone help us out here 'cause we're too old for this shizz!
If you didn't get the reference in the title then you're too young to be reading this (Backstreet Boys, duh).
If you're constantly feeling simultaneously baffled, yet weirdly intrigued by the latest obsessions of Generation Z (fidget spinners, anyone?), then congratulations, you're likely an aging Millennial! To help take your mind off of this impending doom, scroll down for some memes and posts that'll make you feel a little more at ease!
"I'm This Old" is a brand new Twitter meme that really has people confronted with their age, and that's the scariest thought of all.
If you remember all or most of these things then you're likely a sad Millennial who's feeling a little panicked yourself about getting older (we're totally not projecting here or anything...). Worry not, because you're not the only one going through the harrowing process of feeling like you don't fit in with the kids anymore. Pretty soon you're going to look at a group of 20-year-olds and be tempted to say "how do you do, fellow kids?"
This meme, also known as "Will Smith With A Camera," features young Will Smith in the intro song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. It's a meme that's been floating around the internet for a bit now, and we're loving the '90s nostalgia it brings us. Accordingly, we put together a fresh gallery of our favorites!

Many of us Millennials will think back to the '90s as the superior decade that can never be beat. We were the kids that got to experience '90s boy bands, Tamagotchis, and the rise of the internet. However, we don't always stop and think about all the annoying sh*t that we had to deal with on a regular basis, much of it technology-related. These memes and pics highlight those struggles that we'll never have to deal with again! (And thank God for that.)
Generation Y gets a lot of sh*t constantly for supposedly being lazy, entitled and easily offended. Are these things actually true? The answer to that is of course subjective, but if you're a Millennial then you'll know that stereotypes about us tend to be a bit (or a lot) overplayed, and these tweets make light of that.
All of our Millennial viewers will really appreciate these sentimental pics, which make us really miss the '80s and '90s. In fact, you might be tempted to yell at some Generation-Z kids to get off your lawn with their stupid depression jokes and their fidget spinners (are those still a thing...?). Because you know what they say...the grass is always greener in past decades?
