If there is one thing about us, millennials, it's we have nostalgia running through our veins. Growing up in this digital world we call home, we have practically seen it go from 0 to 100. We have witnessed social media giants like Facebook and Instagram rise to dominance. We have pulled all-nighters glued to the TV watching MTV and we still remember the Tumblr days like it was yesterday. 

Gen Z may think they're the superior generation but we all know who did it first, and best. We are the ones who paved the way for y2k fashion and if anyone tells you otherwise - they're wrong. But hey, nostalgia isn't about claiming superiority, it's about embracing the journey that brought us here. After all, all our past experiences helped shape us into the humans we are today; adaptable and resilient. 

With that being said, we hope you enjoy and relate to this random dump of nostalgic millennial goodness!
