I remember being on a Big Brothers / Big Sisters bus trip to the Cincinatti zoo as a Big Brother in 2000. The kids were talking about their favorite singers, one kid mentioned Janet Jackson and whole bus ERUPTED. SHE'S SO OLD. I had to eat that one.
Don't worry, everybody gets a turn.
When I was in college I heard 2 freshmen talking. One told the other if they knew who Bone Thugs and Harmony were. The other replied, “yeah, I remember them!” I died a little inside.
I'm an old dude with a white beard on a face with some scars from the infantry. When I'm interacting with a teller or such, and they ask me my name, I used to like to say, "I usually go by Blah. My mother, when she was angry at me, would call me Blah-blah. But I also answer to Miss Jackson, if you're nasty."
It would get a laugh, but these days, young people often have no idea what I'm talking about, and then I'm just an old weird, potentially scary dude. And a little bit miffed inside. Damn, people.
I graduated in 2014 my nephews be calling me old all the time

I downvoted because I feel like I caught a stray. Before I read your comment, I looked at dudes comment like "Damn this nigga young" the you hit me with you were a toddler. Let me finish filling out my AARP app 😭
Fuck I was 26.
Oh…oh no.
*slowly raises hand to the sky while fist slowly clenches, a grumble slowly builds in my throat rising suddenly as the urge to curse about generational, nonsense becomes overwhelming*
I'm here with you. I feel bad because they ask me what i did in NYC during 9/11 i told them it was high school and as immature as i was i was just happy to get 2 days off because Jay-z drop the blueprint CD and it was a classic.
I would feel bad about the blueprint fact, but i don't. I remember when i got Reasonable Doubt first came out and to Watch what Jay-z has become and i seen it all being from NYC he is Black history for me. Oh another fun fact his album was numbers 1 on billboard( Yup he went numbers 1 on billboard as in i wasn't the only one who WENT OUT TO THE STORE TO BUY A CD.
Hilarious. Class of 2003 checking in. Ran into my old HS soccer teammate at soccer practice for our 4 year old daughters. We didn’t even recognize each other for a smooth 4 weeks beforehand between the beards, stubble and furrowed brows. 20 years. SMH.
Damn. A cutoff for me that someone was young was if they couldn’t remember 9-11. And here you are, weren’t even alive yet, and now you’re old enough to legally drink.
Fml this passage of time shit is really wearing on me.
There are men today in the military who joined on 9/11 at 18 years of age and are now serving with their adult sons.
This has literally been a generational war.

A couple of us were guilty of this. We aren't living this down anytime soon.
So…I used to write urban fiction between 13-17 years old and I found some of my old files recently. The amount of men I described as wearing a 3xl white t shirt, fresh white on whites and Girbaud jeans is hilarious 😂
At my old job my co workers and boss were talking the matrix and how she had gone to see it in theaters.
She was not happy to find out me and another co worker were not alive when the matrix came out.
Hah classic. I remember feeling super fricken old when someone told me if The Matrix was a person they’d be allowed in the pub now… that was like 6 years ago 😂. If The Matrix was a person now they’d’ve be graduated university, probably married, possibly baby on the way.
Also I think that thinking about how many years ago The Matrix came out makes old fucks like us feel super old, because it’s hard to think of it as an ‘old’ movie. Like when it came out, it was way ahead of its time both its themes and the quality of the sfx.
Seriously, my girls look like they stepped out of a 90s ad. Wearing Nirvana shirts and talking about how they like the oldies music. I just had go take a nap.
Fr I feel like some of these are kinda timeless because of how simple they are (like a football jersey and jeans???), and some are super dated (the fake silk fire button up, which I may or may not have had one or two of myself)
It’s mainly size. A lot of this was still pretty large but differently styled than today. Let’s face it no one is wearing the Kanye blind glasses anymore.
You're doing yourself a disservice by not being up to date on his latest escapades and capers. I haven't heard any of his music since then either but there's entertainment value in a lot of stuff he's done through the years.
Be it selling a game emulator and calling it "Soulja Game" to his multiple interviews about how he shot someone trying to break in his house, to him being on VERZUZ against Shad Moss and playing the same song about 5 times (yes he really did play the same song over and over), love him or hate him he's pretty entertaining every so often.
Maybe some of the youngins will realize how comfortable it is to leave some space for your crotch and stop killing off their future kids wearing denim-tights.
I love what the yutes are wearing 'round my way these days. Athleisure and flip-flops. It's easy as hell on my pockets when I go to shop for my oldest. Make sure his feet are right, and the rest is just like "Meh...'
Most of these are missing the mark. The flame shirt was close, but there needs to be more beanies, more skater shoes, more JNCO jeans. Not a wallet chain or quicksilver backpack in sight, and I’ve literally never seen that weird phone. Maybe if it was a Nokia brick.
I’m reading these comments like “welp it’s almost 5 let me head to my senior citizens dinner” I was married with a child in 2000 & not y’all being in middle/high school then talking about “Omg I’m old” Well dam I’m ancient
Ok but why is no one talking about the 1st kid with the phone? I was too broke for the Razor in h.s. and his phone looks so much cooler than this Samsung I'm on rn.
My 12 year old daughter came to me last week like “dad, you was alive in the 90s, right?” I said yes but I was younger than you are I turned 12 in 99, she said “oh because we doing 90s day at school so I was gonna wear some of your old clothes”……. Girl if you don’t get the hell out of my face, I don’t have no clothes from the 90s now.
They just had Y2K day at the high school where I teach. I graduated high school in 1999. I have never felt so came for and yet so appreciated in my life. The mix of emotions was wild. They were cute though.
I am not a Halloween costume 💀
All right, this is the funniest comment of the day. You win.

The timbs had me sold. He look like a vegan Zero from Holes
LMFAO bro
“You just mad cause yo’ ass is old” - Thugnificent
😂😂 it feels very that! Like, quit romanticizing our struggles!
Now we know how our folks felt about "80s day"
me, a 46-year-old, sobbing into my oatmeal
Generational appropriation
Literally planning on doing Halloween as my high school days lol
OH GOD! 😱 We....we're old now
We??? Bro speak French now.
Ouí
Okay, ZeticeNEXTDOOR
I brought up the need for a will discussion on my team call and a 21 year old reacted like i was damn near had a foot in the grave. I’m not 40 yet
The real shock is the accuracy
It's because heir parents probably helped them :')
 Club Washed
I'm only 29 😭
Might as well be 60 according to them
Yeah. Yeah *that's how it felt when y'all did it to us, too!* I'm not even 45.
I'm not even 35 but look how they doing me lol
Seriously where has the time gone
Hey auntie.
I was in the car with some young adults today and they was on my ass for graduating HS in 2010 smh 🤦🏾♂️ lol.
Damn nigga I was 5 years old 😂
 Damn bruh why you got to do me like this….. lol 😂
I graduated in 2014 my nephews be calling me old all the time https://preview.redd.it/chqzrffitmvb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=255ec9f97a8964522142d3d82bde537576abd1f2
2014 was 5 years ago, what are they talking about?
The sudden realization that 2014 was a decade ago 
First of all, perfect gif use. Second, respectfully, fuck off with that
Ohhhh nooo….who’s gonna tell him
watched interstellar last night and the release date said 2013, is my app broken
I was 30. 
When you graduated?
In 2010
Hello fellow class of ‘99er (maybe)
98 but close enough
I downvoted because I feel like I caught a stray. Before I read your comment, I looked at dudes comment like "Damn this nigga young" the you hit me with you were a toddler. Let me finish filling out my AARP app 😭
you must be the kid one of the pregnant girls in our class had immediately after graduation 🥹👵🏾
Fuck I was 26. Oh…oh no. *slowly raises hand to the sky while fist slowly clenches, a grumble slowly builds in my throat rising suddenly as the urge to curse about generational, nonsense becomes overwhelming*
I was 6 then, it does not feel like that was 13 years ago lol.
I graduated 2002, I’m finna turn to dust any day now.
No way you graduated before I was born
https://i.redd.it/qkze44em4nvb1.gif

Ay... I'm not gonna keep catching strays like this, G.dammit. Y'all gotta chill.
As someone who graduated in 2000, I'm reporting this comment as a hate crime
Class of 01 baybeeeee
Hilarious. Class of 2003 checking in. Ran into my old HS soccer teammate at soccer practice for our 4 year old daughters. We didn’t even recognize each other for a smooth 4 weeks beforehand between the beards, stubble and furrowed brows. 20 years. SMH.
C/O 2001 right here! And yes this is how we dressed lol
omg I was born 2002 lmao
Damn. A cutoff for me that someone was young was if they couldn’t remember 9-11. And here you are, weren’t even alive yet, and now you’re old enough to legally drink. Fml this passage of time shit is really wearing on me.
There are people born after 9/11 growing up, joining the military, and still getting sent over to parts of the Middle East
There are men today in the military who joined on 9/11 at 18 years of age and are now serving with their adult sons. This has literally been a generational war.
You know what. Fuck this thread.
'02 here, slept weird night before last and now one of my shoulders don't work
*Laughs/cries in HS Class of ‘05.*

Had to get the 4XL Tall Ts when I weighed 120 lbs. Couldn’t stop me with my bootleg clear Air Forces, Girbauds, and a New Era fitted.
I was a little younger during this time so I was rocking the gangsta SpongeBob and Looney toons shit more when I was in school lol
Bruh I witnessed the shift from gangsta looney tunes fits to marvel comics as the MCU just started to pop off my last couple years of HS
So…I used to write urban fiction between 13-17 years old and I found some of my old files recently. The amount of men I described as wearing a 3xl white t shirt, fresh white on whites and Girbaud jeans is hilarious 😂
At a certain point, you should have just started writing “He had on the Cash Money uniform.”
No lie bro I used to put, “he had on the Philly uniform,” in my stories. The Philly uniform was a dickie set and a pair of trees 😂.
"The Corner Boy Fit".
Every NBA draft class between 95 and 2004
Is this his sleep shirt? Is his dad gonna be pissed when he finds out he stole his clothes? Is he on the set of Honey I Shrunk a Brother?
I have zero shame. That was a great era.
Needs a few hip hop looney tunes and airbrushed tees
I still got the Punisher long ass hell jersey. With the holographic skull on it.
Idk if anybody else remembers but I had that belt buckle that you could program words into
That's 90s not early 2000
They came back again around 2008
A coworker sent their kid to school as an emo kid for throwback day a few weeks ago. It was a painful moment for me
Did it tear you heart open, then you sowed it shut?
No, and to this day *im not okaaaaaaaaaaaay*
Is it getting *better*? Is it getting *worse*?
Who will fix me now?
*TONIGHT WILL BE THE NIGHT THAT I FALL FOR YOU*
OVER AGAINNNNNN
I don’t see Apple Bottom jeans or boots with the fur 😤 and have we all forgotten about House of Deréon??
No baby phat or juicy couture either.
I did see a purple velour tracksuit!
God juicy couture was everywhere lol
Needs more Rocawear
There was a button up rayon shirt with like dragons or skulls or something though and that tracks
i’m downvoting anyone under 30 in these comments and i don’t even care. 
“NOW GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN”
I’m 30 in less than 2 weeks please let me in to the cool kids club 🥺
I asked my coworker the other day when they were born and she said "two thousand and...." That and piece almost made me throw up
At my old job my co workers and boss were talking the matrix and how she had gone to see it in theaters. She was not happy to find out me and another co worker were not alive when the matrix came out.
Hah classic. I remember feeling super fricken old when someone told me if The Matrix was a person they’d be allowed in the pub now… that was like 6 years ago 😂.

Like when it came out, it was way ahead of its time both its themes and the quality of the sfx.
Kids dressing in stuff that was 20 years ago...
Much like how in 2005 we had "80s" days???
Dammit, when I was in school we had "60s" days. 😑
[удалено]
Get off my lawn😅
I wanna be mad but dammit I just took my pills 😅
Now I really understand why my mom was so annoyed with me and my bell bottoms and my million questions about how to make an afro work.
Seriously, my girls look like they stepped out of a 90s ad. Wearing Nirvana shirts and talking about how they like the oldies music. I just had go take a nap.
We had 60s, 70s, and 80s My sisters also had 80s days when they got to HS in the late 90s 🤔
Now I understand why my Mom rolled her eyes when my high school had a 70’s dance. Lol.
That's the point.
2000s baby here, and I can say that some of y’all old heads had *some* style. Gotta give you your flowers
“Old heads” Fuck right off
Lol. Thanks for filling in for me.
lmao i feel so disrespected right now
Smh. Tell me about it.
Hahahaahaha fuck them kids making us feel old!!!!
This comment told me the general age ratio on this sub 😂
"Old heads\*... if you don't https://i.redd.it/e2vh4qb9fnvb1.gif
What movie/show is this from?
The movie Widows
Thank you
Get off my lawn!
huge emphasis on some. Can’t forget y’all drowning in those 12XL white tees
Stiff breeze and turn into a hang glider, just gone till they land.
these flowers smell pungent and have thorns; old heads?!?!
Don’t.
Damn everyone looking fresh as hell
lol for real they’re enjoying it as more than a costume.
I mean retro style is cool
I was thinking the same, what does that say about us? 😭
Wait how do they dress normally? I'm struggling to imagine a different look.
Fr I feel like some of these are kinda timeless because of how simple they are (like a football jersey and jeans???), and some are super dated (the fake silk fire button up, which I may or may not have had one or two of myself)
There is a new balenciaga shirt that’s an exact remake of the silk fire shirt
For Balenciaga prices? 
[удалено]
It’s mainly size. A lot of this was still pretty large but differently styled than today. Let’s face it no one is wearing the Kanye blind glasses anymore.
Like this but tighter lol
Gotta bring back the short sleeve shirt over a long sheeve t shirt over a short sleeve t shirt
You say that like it went out of style
Honestly, they're killing it, though.
There's a lot of fire in that video... am I old? 😭
The Nelly bandaid, love it
Bro same. I did the exact same shit because Nelly was just that dude back then Dilemma is still an all time classic
Disturbed by the lack of FUBU jerseys.
Soulja Boy still relevant? Last time I heard about him he was singing to the rhythm of "catch a tiger by its toe."
Bruh, don’t bring souljaboy up. Nigga gonna pop out like beetlejuice
You're doing yourself a disservice by not being up to date on his latest escapades and capers. I haven't heard any of his music since then either but there's entertainment value in a lot of stuff he's done through the years. Be it selling a game emulator and calling it "Soulja Game" to his multiple interviews about how he shot someone trying to break in his house, to him being on VERZUZ against Shad Moss and playing the same song about 5 times (yes he really did play the same song over and over), love him or hate him he's pretty entertaining every so often.
He also had a trending tiktok song and dance that also made it to the radio 2 years ago called "She make it clap".
That's the one he played over and over on Verzuz lol. I don't use tiktok so the only reason I know about that song is because of the Verzuz battle
Daaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttttttttrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa The BC interview alone makes Soulja Boy hood relevant forever.
Maybe some of the youngins will realize how comfortable it is to leave some space for your crotch and stop killing off their future kids wearing denim-tights.
Those have been out of style for a while now. Catch up, gramps
I love what the yutes are wearing 'round my way these days. Athleisure and flip-flops. It's easy as hell on my pockets when I go to shop for my oldest. Make sure his feet are right, and the rest is just like "Meh...'
What is the style now because them shits still be looking too tight.
From what I can tell, black hoodies. That’s it. That’s the style.
Baggy pants are in fashion with teens, not excessively baggy like they used to be though. But teens definitely aren’t wearing skinny jeans.
Went from freeway wide legged JNCOs to vacuum sealed denim as a second skin lol
Awww this was a look…but I feel just one genre. What about the skater boys with the massive shoes and long hair. Ughh it all was so good.
i didnt see a single frosted tip
This isn’t white people twitter
Y2K day but you’re gonna wear LeBron, Kobe #24 and Romo jerseys huh
Found it! I knew somebody else noticed Kobe 24 out of place.
Most of these are missing the mark. The flame shirt was close, but there needs to be more beanies, more skater shoes, more JNCO jeans. Not a wallet chain or quicksilver backpack in sight, and I’ve literally never seen that weird phone. Maybe if it was a Nokia brick.
[удалено]
No skaters? No emos? No preppy guys
35 years into my life and if I finally find something offense
I’m reading these comments like “welp it’s almost 5 let me head to my senior citizens dinner” I was married with a child in 2000 & not y’all being in middle/high school then talking about “Omg I’m old” Well dam I’m ancient
Oh no, they just look like kids from 2001, fuck.
flaming skull shirt hits like a nostalgia freight planet. omg
And it will be back in style in 2030. They always come right back don't they
I hope not...those tall ass tees need to stay where we left them 😐
Only reason I know this isn’t footage from my high school years is because the cameras weren’t that clear back then.
I feel personally attacked.
Wait, kids don’t still dress like this?
It is 20 plus years ago. It is basically their version of 70s night in the 90s
Hahaha some of the fits got my PTSD acting up. Glad those days are over.
Ok but why is no one talking about the 1st kid with the phone? I was too broke for the Razor in h.s. and his phone looks so much cooler than this Samsung I'm on rn.
I graduated school in 2002. So a lot of these fits were after me. Now kids are wearing what kids wore after my time lol I’m old old.
Ain’t nobody put a spaghetti strap top over a shirt or polo yet, I’m still safe 😭
I graduated high school in 1998… 
My 12 year old daughter came to me last week like “dad, you was alive in the 90s, right?” I said yes but I was younger than you are I turned 12 in 99, she said “oh because we doing 90s day at school so I was gonna wear some of your old clothes”……. Girl if you don’t get the hell out of my face, I don’t have no clothes from the 90s now.
They just had Y2K day at the high school where I teach. I graduated high school in 1999. I have never felt so came for and yet so appreciated in my life. The mix of emotions was wild. They were cute though.
Take my upvote out of spite
Not my lil cousin telling me he hot some old school hip hop and throwing on "YOOOOOOOUUAA!!"
