nostalgia

If you grew up in the '90s then scrolling through this Twitter thread will give you a serious case of nostalgia. Twitter user Melina threw together a hodgepodge of images of things we had completely forgotten about from our schooling days and let's just say, they took us on a little trip down memory lane.

This one goes out to all the gamers. We know most of you are gaming your quarantine away with your fancy games. But there was a time when people had to deal with shitty controllers, bad graphics, and worse internet. These pics are a shoutout to those times. Let's pour some Mountain Dew out for 'em.

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!

Children of the '80s and '90s, these memes are for you! Gen Xers and Millennials can come together, first of all, in hating Boomers, and second of all, longing for the superior decades of the past. Click here for some memes just for sad Millennials!

We can never get enough of the '90s memes, which is probably because many of us are about to hit 30 and we're longing for the days when we didn't have to worry about spending a fortune on rent or getting grey hairs. The '90s were just a simpler time where we could play with our Tamagotchis and not have a care in the world. And hey, while we're at it, have even more '90s memes!

We have to drop some truth here: past decades weren't actually better and today's kids aren't any better or worse than kids of the past - the truth is, we're all just nostalgic for our childhoods regardless of the decade, and we're all a little bitter about the technology that kids today have. That being said, we wanted to provide anyone born in the '80s or '90s with some pics that will give you with a little stroll down memory lane.

Now have some more nostalgic pics here!

Us early '90s kids are positively freaking out right now about the fact that we're closing in on the 2010s decade and the '90s will have been nearly 30 years ago for many of us. Time really does seem to fly by faster the older you get. 

Sorry Zoomers, we love you guys but this one's for the Millennials.

If there's one thing kids have no lack of, it's imagination. Hell, they create entire languages with one another. So when @Jon_Bois asked his Twitter followers to share "the most outrageous lie another kid ever told you when you were a kid," the results, while incredibly entertaining, were hardly surprising to us. Of course a kid would tell his friends he spent his absent days fighting Shredder of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fame. And of course people believed him. Imaginative and gullible kids are truly a blessing to the the world. And here's a crap load of their amusing lies in one convenient place.

Congratulations on making it through another depressing Monday. If you live in the Northeast like us, you enjoyed bone-chilling cold humidity and frigid spit from the heavens. If you're somewhere warmer, well, screw you. Just kidding. Whatever your hemisphere or temperature, we'll wager you deserve a break from the grind. That's what these memes are for.

If you grew up in the '90s then you probably used a lot of these products - and forgot about them over the years. Let these pics jog your memory and give you a little walk down memory lane from a superior decade.
