Memories

I'll take dino nuggets over Turkey any day!

Generation X is the most frequently forgotten generation whenever Generations discourse comes up. Now, all everybody cares about is Baby Boomers, Millenials, and Gen Z, and their various quirks and Gen X is so often ignored. And honestly? That's probably for the best. Generation X used to be the “kids these days” who served as the punching bag for complaints about how the youth are bad now. I will give Gen X credit for having the angstiest “disaffected kids” media. Clerks , Reality Bites , Trai…

Nostalgia works in interesting ways. Typically, we see media and culture going through the 20-year nostalgia cycle , where iconography and media from 20 years ago come back into style. We saw it in the 90s with shows like That 70s Show, and we saw it in the 70s with movies like Grease . We're even seeing it now with early 2000s fashion coming back for Gen Z. Nostalgia comes in different cycles, and it seems to be coming quicker than ever. I'm even starting to see nostalgia for 2012 popping up l…

As a millennial born in the late 1980's, I had the pleasure of witnessing some major cultural shifts, the most prominent being the advent of the Internet. While my early childhood was internet-free, as I got older I was introduced to both the wonders and horrors of the world wide web. And at first, I had to use dial-up internet to enjoy them. The haunting sound of dial-up internet booting up (and the anticipation that came with it) is just one of the many joys kids these days will never underst…

Today is October 11th; the birthday of our favorite red-headed twins (sorry Fred and George) Hallie and Annie. They discovered they were twins through finding out they had the same birthday and connecting a picture of their mom and dad, but somehow not through looking at each other for 10 seconds. Lindsay Lohan is truly the queen of October. Mean Girls Day happened October 3rd and October 11th marks the birth of both of the characters she so masterfully played when she was just a pre-teen. Thes…

If you recognize any of these, it's time for an eye cream

The nostalgia is strong with the people of the Internet. We're guilty of it, too. It's hard to escape the articles about millennials , ‘90s kids memes, and the nostalgic pictures of bygone products and customs that are constantly being shared on social media. While we miss Altoids sours as much as the next geriatric millennial, the incessant wistfulness is getting old. Instead of crying about the products of capitalism we used to enjoy, today we’re going to take a weird walk down a different me…

It's been a long day, and you've done so much. You've accomplished what many people have failed at: continuing to be alive. Whether you spent that day ignoring your chores and watching Frasier reruns or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for the second time, you deserve a nice long sleep. Whether the night is young or elderly, you can get some shut-eye . But not just yet. After all, you need to accomplish at least one last thing before you go to bed. Why not consume a story? Consuming a story might ver…

What does it truly mean to be a 90s kid? I'd say there are two competing definitions that will likely always be at odds with each other. The first “90s kids” are the people who truly spent a bulk of their childhood in that decade; essentially, people born in the 80s. The other group of 90s kids are those born in the 1990s. I am just barely in that latter group of 90s kids, being born in the literal last year of the 1990s.

Spongebob is one of the most iconic cartoon characters of all time. He has served as the unofficial mascot for Nickelodeon for over two decades and has filled our lives with laughter for just as long. Spongebob SquarePants is one of those shows with humor that will hold up for generations. It's the perfect kind of kid's show that keeps the young ones entertained but with enough wit and humor to have fully grown adults in stitches. The episodes are endlessly rewatchable (at least up to Season 3)…

Let's cut to the chase. We know why you're here. You want 30 hilarious memes of various subject matters injected into your bloodstream immediately. Well, if that's the case, I'm going to have to ask you a few questions. Where were you the night of June 28th? Haha, I'm just kidding. I know exactly where you were. These memes contain some pretty classified information. Only really advanced people like the Pope and Marina Ambromovic can see these. You might say this isn't your average list of rand…

Sooo… When's the reboot movie of these two characters reconciling and falling in love gonna come out??

I bet you didn't know meme stars like the “I like turtles” kid, peanut butter baby, and “slippery lil snek” guy ARE FULL GROWN ADULTS NOW.

Is Nintendo okay?

We're killing everything
