nostalgic

Any follower of Memebase knows how much we love video game memes. We can't get enough of memes about the hottest new game or gameplay screenshots subverted into hilarious meme formats. @VGAdvisor is an amazing account that collects and shares unique moments of wisdom from mostly 8-bit games. Video game advice taken out of context is pretty damn funny, and sometimes surprisingly poignant! Take a look at some of our favorite finds from @VGAdvisor. Some of these might even make you feel a little nostalgic.

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.

Everyone loves to mock Olive Garden for their iconic breadsticks and overcooked, highly caloric pasta dishes, but do you remember being a kid, twitching with excitement in the backseat of your parents' minivan on the way to a fancy evening at the local Olive Garden, or Sizzler, or TGI Friday's? We've all got that one place we remember feeling like a decadent treat when we were kids, but seem pretty underwhelming now as adults. @johnbcrist asked the people of Twitter to share the spots they used to think were super glamorous, and the replies made us feel pretty damn nostalgic. Check out some highlights we grabbed from the amusing thread. 

These memes are for the oldest Millennials who were born in the '80s! Since literally all of us are getting depressed thinking about how old we're getting, we need some memes to help us feel better about it. And let's face it, the '80s and '90s were just a better time.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise" - Socrates.

In other words, every single generation throughout history has thought that they were far better than the younger generation. Anyway, here are some memes and pics for people who long for the days of the '90s.

Anyone who grew up in the '80s and '90s knows that those were the days. The days of dial-up internet, Tamagotchis, and horrible hair. Of course, as we get older we tend to engage more in revisionist history, but let us reminisce, dammit! Now check out some Millennial memes for even more relatable humor!

These memes are here to help you remember the simpler times of childhood. You know, back when all we had to worry about was which Pokemon cards we were going to trade, or what the school cafeteria was serving for lunch. Check out some '90s-specific memes here!

Ah, the 90s. A simpler time when Friday nights consisted of a trip to Blockbuster to pick out a DVD and order pizza. Millennial Twitter users got a pleasant little surprise when Blockbuster popped in just to say hello. The replies are pretty amusing and full of nostalgia, and some a little more unsavory than others.

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!

As we all get older, naturally we start yearning more for the past. The '80s and '90s just seemed like simpler times, no? But at the end of the day, every generation thinks their childhood was the best decade. Pretty soon Zoomers will start feeling nostalgic for the 2000s era, and the rest of us will feel like fossils.

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.

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 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!

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.

Chances are, you'll probably recognize at least some of these things from your childhood days of staying at your grandparents' house - we certainly did. Definitely brings back those fond memories of opening up the basement closet and finding some of the toys and games your parents used to play with. A lot of this stuff you probably even forgot existed, so get ready for a major nostalgia trip!
