Xs on the back of your hands,
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands
And the set list you stole off the stage
Has red and purple lipstick all over the page


...Were, at one point, the edgiest lyrics you'd ever heard.

This speaks to me on a visceral level because my parents wouldn't let me watch Power Rangers like all my friends (it was "too violent") so they tried to get me to watch Sailor Moon instead and I distinctly remember responding "I don't wanna watch some dumb show about a sailor looking at a moon! That's boring!!!" and now look at me i'm full weeb

You always tried to break your mum's Nokia brick every time you get your slobbery mitts on it, but to no avail.

User Anon 1848 May 3rd, 2019 9:28 PM

If you get a little too excited hearing these cartoon theme songs.





Or maybe your first experience with the sc-fi genre were these two gems.

When you remember when Microsoft XP came out and have computers at home that have stickers that say, "Forward Compatible with Windows Vista!"

CodeHelmet May 5th, 2019 8:57 AM

I'll call everything you have there and raise you with even older stuff. First one will really hit hard due to the fact they've rebooted it. Not sure if they plan to reboot the 2nd one but the 2nd one will hit hard too because its the full theme. Could be wrong but I think the same group did both Ducktales and Chip&Dale themes heh. The 3rd video is my crown jewel. In terms of age, its not really that old but nothing tops that one, except maybe the last one... Commentary is just pure gold. Plus Muppets have been around for decades along with the song its based on. In that respect, it's "old".

y'all got Pokemon cards?? I think I was living overseas when it came out, so no cards. :(

We did get one of those cool golden cards from Burger King though.

You used one of the following as currency in school:

At my school we used all three. You could barter for kids' lunches depending on the rarity of the pog, slammer, card, or silly band (those the silly bandz were moreso a middle school thing).

I’m sorry to all Canadians out there but this did happen and this is why Will Smith will never match him in the Aladdin remake.

THIS is the commercial that proves whether or not you're a millennial:

If your first reaction isn't "WTF is that??" you're a millennial.

Also, did anyone else have the collector books to check out the 'value' of their collection? I loved it.

RIP to all my Beanie Baby collection except Sakura II, probably all sold in my parents' estate sale 9 years ago :(
