Oh, Millennials…you used to think you were so cool, didn’t you?
With your angsty attitudes and your uneven emo haircuts…you really thought you’d never, ever look back on your younger days and feel embarrassed, because you knew it all, right?
WRONG. It’s judgment day, my friends.
And we’re about to take a painful trip down Memory Lane that you are not gonna like…not at all…
But, this will be an important part of the healing process, so let’s get it over with, okay? You are now free to look at the painful evidence…
1. Every single night out was like this.
You know this ain’t no lie!
do gen z know we used to upload 90 photos to a facebook album after every single night out? they’d be so mortified for us.

5. You were really putting it all out there.
Hey, it was an emotional time.
the height of social media was like 2008 when you’d post “I hate everyone to the bitter end, nothing turns out right, there’s no end in sight, I hate my life” (mad about geometry homework) and your aunt would comment “you need to call me” and you’d reply “lol it’s song lyrics”

6. Wow. This is peak late ’90s.
I remember it well…
How insufferably wannabe emo I was at 13 – writing Blink 182 lyrics on my Converse. Good one, past Becca. pic.twitter.com/06UG98JDRY

8. I can’t hear you!
This was a good way to trick folks out there.

9. I DO NOT remember this.
But I’ll take your word for it…
Remember on MySpace when you posted a new picture and ppl would b like “let me own this” and you’d change the caption to “______ownz this pic xD”

10. Yeah, that was rough.
Enough already! We can’t take it anymore!
we really survived through that era where every new song would get an alvin and the chipmunks remix

11. You did what you had to do.
And you needed to hear that song!
what's the most mid 2000s thing you ever did? mine was use an iTunes code from the cap of a Mountain Dew Code Red to download a Bloodhound Gang song

How about you?
What did you do with regularity when you were younger that makes you feel pretty embarrassed these days?
