Funny Generation X Memes For Members of The Forgotten Generation

I recently discovered something I would have never known unless a Gen Xer told me. Apparently, the way that I watched Daria on Hulu was not how it was initially aired. In the 90s, the show wasn't punctuated by the guitar riffs from the theme song but had tons of 90s hits courtesy of MTV. When the show went to DVD, they couldn't afford the music licensing rights, so all of that copywritten music is nowhere to be found on versions of the show on DVD or streaming. The only way to see the show as it originally aired is to engage in some light piracy, and honestly, I'm considering doing it to see this iconic Gen X program in its purest form. If you're old enough to have watched Daria with the original music and are disgusted that I didn't know this anecdote already, these Gen X memes are standing on your neck.
