You know what, the new generation is already trying to copy Y2K fashion, so if anything, all this is coming back in style. The new generation is just jealous they missed out on the birth of memes, social media, and the internet in general. We see you bringing back those low-rise bellbottoms with the hem getting ripped and wet more and more every time you where them. You guys did not invent skorts, calm down. Let us talk about how we miss actually hanging up the phone and be nice to us, we're getting old.

 

“Roll up the window”

Remember when we had to actually ROLL up the window?? 

 

“Just blow on it”

Only old gamers will get this one… 

 

The Mouse Ball

Sometimes your mouse would stop gliding well, so you'd have to take out the ball and give it a little clean—just like new!

 

Top 8

If your friend removed you from their top 8… You just weren't friends anymore. 


 

“This is your brain on drugs”

We all know the classic anti-drug campaign. But really, all this did was make me hungry. 

 

“Insert Floppy Disk”

The IRL save icon! lol Goddamn we're getting old…
