30 Memes for Millennials Still Figuring Out This Whole “Adulthood” Thing

One of the best feelings ever? When you're casually surfing the web (as we used to call it in my day), and you suddenly stumble across something you'd completely forgotten about—like a song you played on a loop for years in the 80s or 90s. It was such a massive part of your life back then, and somehow it just slipped through the cracks of memory. But the second it starts playing, all those emotions come rushing back like no time has passed at all. And you still remember all the lyrics!

And then the icing on the cake? YouTube offers up the entire album. Today, it happened to me with Whale – We Care, an incredible album if you love noise and nostalgia. (Highly recommended!) These 30 snapshots and memes capture that same rush of rediscovery—taking you back to a simpler time when mixtapes, clunky Walkmans, and extra sugary cereal ruled the world.
