nostalgic memes

As an aging millennial it's easy to find myself yearning for simpler times. While yes, dial-up was technically the internet, it was very hard to find yourself glued to a screen for 14 hours of the day. New music was something you read about in a magazine or stumbled upon at a brick and mortar record store. Blockbuster was thriving. We could wax nostalgic for days (what is a day, even?) but we'll save our breath and let these memes take you down memory lane instead.

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

Only '90s kids will have any clue what these memes are about!

Let these pics and memes transport you back to the golden age of the '80s and '90s.

Only 90's kids will understand this specific expression of existential dread. Lisa Frank's wildly colored animal art was all the rage nearly two decades ago, and now it's being repurposed by the Nihilisa Frank Facebook page to give an entirely more philosophical message. The memes are a perfect combination of nostalgia and jaded misery - and possibly the best thing we've seen on the internet this week.

Remember simpler times? When TV only had a handful of channels and we actually used payphones? Well, so do we. And so do these memes. Strap yourselves in for a wild ride down memory lane.
