kids these days

TikTok is certainly the latest social media craze among the teens, but it's also come under fire for allegedly collecting user data and sending it to Chinese authorities. That, and memers across the board seem to hate it. Accordingly, we've curated this gallery of memes that poke a little fun, and we hope you enjoy!

Honestly, we kind of hate the whole "kids-these-days-don't-have-it-that-hard" sentiment. Every generation thinks that younger generations are horrible and that they have everything in life so easy (mainly looking at you, Boomers). 

That being said, it's amusing to look back at the struggles us '90s kids dealt with and feel nostalgic over it!

Zoomers, or Generation Z, are known for their bizarre, totally nonsensical humor and we think these memes display that sentiment perfectly. Us Millennials may not fully understand you kids, but we respect you. 

Both Know Your Meme and /r/DankMemes have many more examples, so be sure to check them both out if you crave more of that weirdness!

It's a tradition that the older generations have to hate on the younger generations for absolutely any reason they can think of. Doesn't matter what for, because it was just "better back in the day," in their logic. 

Self-described "recovering academic" Jenny Bann pulled up some hilariously enlightening historical records of the behavioral problems exhibited by 18th century male students in Scotland. 

Let's just say they're...less than wholesome and make Millennials look angelic in comparison.

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!

We can all probably agree that the '90s was just a superior decade, right? These pics will definitely give you a heckin' nostalgia trip.

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.)
