Old School Animal Memes For Millennials and Gen X Folks Who Witnessed The Rise of the Internet: Cheezburger Edition

Hey, folks! Did y'all know that Gen X and millennials actually have quite a bit in common? Aside from their love of memes and humor, of course. Gen X and Millennials share a love for tech, from the early days of dial up internet to today's social media craze.

These generations gave birth to the term 'work life balance' and sought fulfillment outside of the workplace. 

Today we are presenting you with some old school animal memes from the early 2000s for the folks who were well into adulthood when memes took over the internet. It's a pretty fabulous phenomenon, if you ask us. And yes, we were there to witness it, hashtag proud millennials. Now go ahead and fasten your seatbelts because we are driving 88 miles per hour in our pimped out delorean straight back to the early 2000s. Let's get it!
