It's no secret that older people can have some problems with adapting to technology. Many seem to love nothing more than uploading cryptic Facebook statuses and leaving out-of-pocket comments on strangers' photos.

Perhaps their most beloved social media pastime of all, though, is interacting with tragically dated and unfunny memes. There is a whole subsection of meme culture that has the sole purpose of catering to Boomers and their very worst impulses. Anything and everything you'd ever wished your annoying uncle had never said at the family dinner table has likely been condensed into meme form.

It is rare that this is pretty, but it has to be said that there is also a certain ironic humor that can be found here. One day, millennials and Gen Zers will have their own cringey old people memes that are just as bad. Some might say that this is already happening, and these can be found in this list as well.
