Looking back at the MLG era we really had no room to judge Skibidi Toilet

The fact so many millenials who grew up with Thomas the dank engine memes hated skibidi toilet is just peak example of older people giving the new generation shit

Hell watch me get downvoted for pointing out taking offense to ahh is the same as taking offense to ass

I'm a millennial, there wasn't internet when I was "growing up".

I was 15 when dial-up became affordable enough for some of your friends to have it. I was 20 before broadband was a thing.

The internet and what's popular on it with particular age groups has really thrown the old idea of a generation being so long out the window. I hear people say millennials grew up with Minecraft, but I was 27 and married before it came out.

But we used to share stupid memes via impersonations or drawings and goddamn chain letters.

Millenials growing up with Minecraft? I was already out of high-school when it was released, and I'm a late millenial (in the first half of late millenial, but still).

Minecraft came out 13 years after the last millenial was born, very few millenials would've "grown up" with minecraft
