You know how it goes, first people start saying the silly meme phrase “ironically”, then they can’t stop themselves saying it, then it becomes awkwardly unironic, and then it gets embedded in the lexicon and Miriam-Webster adds it to the dictionary
2060 is going to be lit fam AHEM I mean it’s going to be funny
I am guilty af here, fr.
Merriam-Webster’s been adding stuff to the dictionary long before it’s even really embedded in the lexicon lately. Probably trying to stay relevant.

Are the front curls really such a zoomer thing? I’ve been dealin’ with’em for decades now because Arabic and Irish heritage means my hair is constantly in rebellion against british beauty standards
Broccoli cut
I thought the Meet Me at McDonald’s was just curly on top, shaved back and sides. Dubya in this pic looks like one of those goldfish with the big sticking-out brain.
Article doesn’t explain why they felt the need to ban it?
I see you’re not familiar with the quality journalism of the Metro
Fuckin Birds nest
It’s become a zoomer thing. Last Xmas my friend’s little cousin of Polish and Polish heritage was rocking them instead of his usual arrow straight hair.
Why the heck is this in /c/shitpost? That’s a quality post and it belongs to the front page lmao
9/11 was not poggers
Iraq Sus!
sir the twin towers got phanum taxed
I was watching the Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve from 1999 and immediately after the ball dropped they cut to a shot of the NYC skyline with the WTC intact.
My Zoomer kid was shocked. Every time they’ve seen the WTC it’s been at the start of some 9/11 documentary.
It’s in every “cut to a shot of NYC” scene pre-2001
So nothing they would have seen since they’re still kids and were born well after 2001
Well, every shot from 1973 to 2001 at least.
Still kinda weird for me to see the NYC skyline without them tbh. And I was 10 when 911 occurred… and I’m not even American
And movie trailer …(like Spider-Man)
Imagine if George Bush had a low taper fade
and the al-qaeda be like: “lmao gotem”
Airplane hits tower… pilot yelling “KOBE”
Bruh moment
Yea but does this hurt the broccoli tho
I know I’m old but what does ‘no cap’ mean?
It means “I am not being capricious”
Jk I have no clue and don’t care don’t correct me
YouTuber Sven Johnson: Someone copystrike this meme, they stole my hair.
I got bullied in elementary school for having that haircut 😂
correctly, so
This is going to be “too soon” until all of the millennials are dead.
Millennials in NY were cracking dark jokes about 9/11 in high school. “Too soon” never existed for some of us.
That’s coping humor. There’s no stopping that.
Exactly. I was in class when we saw the crash on TV, we’re allowed to joke about it.
George Carlin was first.
Joan Rivers got there just after.
We’ve been laughing at jokes about 911 for ages. Being edgy isn’t new, even boomers do it
I pray I don’t live long enough for the zoomers to control the world.
What kinda boomer crap is this lmao. Millennials and xers like to act all high and mighty as if we didn’t birth the evil that is 1337 (leetspeak). Don’t forget our cringy “le so random” phase 🤢
tHe nOrWHaLe bAcONs aT miDNigHt roflcopter!!! Rofl!!!11111
Hooman, what r u doing hooman?
I can has cheezburger was peak humor for us at one point ffs. If we don’t get over ourselves and stop dunking on gen z we’re just as bad as the assholes that made all those braindead articles about avocado toast and how millennials are killing the diamond industry.
Besides, gen z is just us but raised with less false hope and American dream bullshit. The people you gotta worry about are gen alpha. Those are some feral mfers right there. They’re being raised by the internet and it shows lol

I always thought I was pretty well put together and low-cringe, but every now and then I get a Facebook memory (I know, but I moved to another country and this is my lifeline to my friends and family) from ~2010 that really sheds some fucking light on exactly why I didn’t have a girlfriend. These memories reveal to me that I was indeed very cringe, and very much a product of some of the lamest internet culture in recent memory. The frequent use of the cat face emoticon :3 when interacting with girls is enough to make me want to bury these things where they can never be seen again. Conversely, these memories serve as a reminder of not only just how far I’ve come as a man, but also as a husband, a father, and a member of society.
EDIT: It’s worth mentioning that these mishaps are extremely prevalent in old exchanges between my wife and I as well, so at the very least her and I are able to cringe over them together.
I get it. The amount of times that I used xD is criminal lol. I’m right there with you on the Facebook because it’s where I keep the family members that I don’t want to deal with more than like once every few months and I definitely don’t want them to have more reliable ways to contact me
All those people can get thrown in a lake too and I thought that at the time. Almost all your examples are stuff that was exclusively on the Internet and a subculture on the Internet at that
Least they didn’t all have only one broccoli haircut.
Making fun of haircuts is really so old fashioned and petty dude. I hope you can learn to treat the younger people better. They’re just younger people. :(
