40 Rad GenX And Millennial Aging Memes That’ll Make You Nostalgic For A Time Before Your Back Pain

Fellow Gen Xers and Millennials. If your back hurts for no reason and you’ve recently explained what a VHS tape is, this one’s for you.

These memes won’t change your life, but they will remind you of a time when burning a CD felt like high-level tech and the internet made noise when it connected. It’s a mix of nostalgia, self-deprecation, and the slow realization that we’ve officially become the “back in my day” generation.

So yeah—grab a Fruit Roll-Up, silently judge TikTok, and scroll through the kind of content that hits a little too close to home.

1. Old comes for all of us.

2. I always thought a cool podcast would be one that let us know what’s up with all of these iconic small part actors.
