27 Memes Reliving the Glorious Pains of Yesteryear

Back in my day, we faced hardships that would make today's youth quiver! You think your life's tough? Try dealing with the agonizingly slow dial-up internet - that screeching symphony was the soundtrack of our online struggles. And don't get me started on Blockbuster! You kids have your streaming; we had to actually leave our houses, drive to a store, and hope against hope the movie we wanted wasn't already taken.

Then there were CDs, none of this digital download malarkey. You'd finally get your hands on your favorite album, and what happens? It skips! Every time you hit a bump in the road or looked at it funny, there went your music, skipping like a stone across a pond. And heaven forbid if the CD got a scratch! That was it, game over, your beloved album was nothing more than a coaster now. remember, for us, it wasn't just a meme; it was real life!
