Seems like just yesterday I was playing snake on my indestructible Nokia 3310 and asking my parents to buy me a clear glacier GameBoy Advance. Now they're literally putting Microsoft Zunes and iMac G3s in museums. If you needed another reason to feel old, this Twitter thread full of nostalgic pictures of old tech will take you on a trip down memory lane. What was up with all the colorful transparent hardware in the 90s? And can we bring that back? Today's world of slick, elegant design could use

Lisa Frank, anyone?

Different times.

As was the case for many older millennials , my cousin and I were intensely obsessed with The Matrix . We'd dress up and recite lines from the 1999 action film, writhing as we pretended to dodge bullets. We also learned that wearing sunglasses indoors can lead to injuries, but as tweens we didn't really care. We just wanted to pretend we were slick action heroes with a very important mission. While I can't speak for “kids these days,” it definitely seems like this specific brand of nerdiness ha…

I miss 7-Eleven :(

A different time

We're killing everything

Humor helps.

Some things are just special like that.

Everyone has to grow up. It's one of the few experiences we all share, no matter where we're from or how our backgrounds might differ. It's no wonder some of the most beloved films of all time are coming-of-age stories that deeply resonate with youth and wistful adults alike. The 400 Blows came out in 1959, and yet it's still a timeless window into childhood that's no less relevant today. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is about as aesthetically 80s as it gets, but the desire to ditch school for a day…

Ah, the aughts. An era both cringe and endearing to millennials, whose fashion choices will never again reflect such blissful ignorance—we're much too jaded a generation to gleefully wear ripped jeans under pink and brown paisley dress. It's too bad, because life would be much funnier if we all dressed like we were on our way to the 2003 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. Enter the 2021 Met Gala. The renowned annual fundraising event is a stage for the world's tastemakers to show off the work o

The aughts are back, baby. Haven't you heard? Steve from Blue's Clues has returned. Britney Spears is free. The Matrix is getting resurrected. And you know what? I'm here for it. 2021 kinda sucks, so why not indulge in some early 2000s nostalgia? While remakes and reboots are fun and all, how about diving into the real time capsules and classic gems waiting to be rediscovered on YouTube? For example, this student-made video from 2004 that features Centennial High School's anime club, long befor…

If you've been on the internet for even a few minutes this week, you've probably seen the heartfelt viral video message that former Blue's Clues host Steve gave to all his grown-up fans. While the initial reaction was full of sentimentality and sincere emotion, it didn't take long for the internet to do its thing and meme the hell out of various stills from the video. As one of our followers pointed out in the comment section of our last post covering Steve's message, there's even a new Facebook

Remember in 2002 when Steve from Blue's Clues suddenly left the show to 'go to college' and had his brother Joe take over for him? Some of us had moved onto more mature television by then, like SpongeBob Squarepants , but the younger millennials likely remember the heartache they felt as Steve walked out that door and never came back. Well, after 25 years of Blue's Clues , Steve has returned with a wholesome message for all the grown-up Blue fans out there, and yes, we're crying. So about that …
