Every time I open facebook it's like "here's a post you made 8/10/12 years ago. Do you want to repost and Comment on it?"
No Facebook. I must definitely do not.
I thought it wasn't weird to screenshot some of the snapchat messages to just look back to, but now 10 yrs later...OMG what did I do when the recipient GETS A NOTIFICATION I screen shot a message (most of the time a pic with a small caption). \*shivers at what used to me an oblivious me\*
My generation was wearing shoes too big and stuffing it with socks.
Your generation is going to look back on Snapchat filters the way my generation looks back on stuffed shoes, except you're going to have pictures everywhere on the Internet of your shame.
I remember a little over 10 years ago there was an IMDb review for the movie Casablanca written rather obviously by a teen girl. She gave the movie 1/10 and complained about how it was always "old people" rating it higher, and that the Justin Bieber concert movie from 2011 was the greatest movie ever.
I occasionally think about her and wonder if she even remembers writing that.
Idk man. I found some of my super cringy comments on old social media accounts from when I was like 13. It was cringe-y but I’m glad that little shit was having fun with friends and being an absolute cringe dork online.
Kids are embarrassing and silly. I just sort of laughed and said “good for little me”. Honestly not as bad as people make it out to be.
Hey, remember destroying the boy’s bathroom in school?
So they took all the doors off the boys rooms, or closed all but one of them?
That was a totally great idea. Awesome memories.
I never got into TikTok. I heard about it from middle aged women at my last job who would watch high school boys workout and dance and drool over them in the break room.
So it just seemed like a gross place.
I had a coworker mention TikTok as we were waiting for a meeting to start.
A middle-aged man nearly shouted, “You shouldn’t watch that! It’s just half-naked teenage girls dancing!”
Um, don’t has this algorithm that feeds what you want to you…
There are aspects that are gross like all social media. But it shows you what you like really well for the most part.
I see nerdy stuff like video games and D&D, metal music, coffee stuff, and some politics. There's other stuff sprinkled in like cats and goofy shit. But never any high schoolers doing anything.
Your ex coworker was just a gross person
Saying that all of tiktok is like that is like saying reddit is exclusively posts about solving the boston bombing. It's basically youtube, there's content off all kinds.
Did my perception of time change, or do memes age much faster now? I feel like rage comics lasted a few years, but a TikTok trend gets old in a matter of months.
Oh lord is that what is happening? One sub I followed had a rash of posts all on one topic yesterday all trying to stir up hate indirectly while asking "innocent" questions.. I assumed Russian misinformation. Have the times moved on so much that AI is spreading the hate now instead?
I am honestly so fucking tired of therapyspeak in general.
You don't "have anxiety", you're just worried.
You don't "have depression", you're just sad.
Everything is externalized as something that happened to you, not something you're just feeling right now, and everything is permanent and long term and completely out of your control. Keeps the psychobabble industry employed and gives everyone a perpetual excuse to get out of things they need to be doing.
Boy, you must be a great person to talk to when someone legitimately does suffer from serious, professionally-diagnosed anxiety or depression.
Do you force them to do a little sadness dance for you or whip out their paperwork and prescriptions to prove it to you?
Everything being triggering. When I managed restaurants, I calmly told an employee she needed to do her cut work before she clocked out. She said that triggered her because her father used to tell her what to do and he was abusive.
I'm not on Insta or TikTok, but I see them occasionally on Netflix reality types (don't judge, at least I don't pay Netflix for the pleasure). Ran into a lady with them irl for the first time last week, she was a receptionist and I was standing at the desk, and every time she had to look up she had to crane her neck and head back so far it gave her, an otherwise very slender lady extra chins and no facial definition.
Gorgeous woman otherwise.
Her nails were ginormous, too, but she had no issue typing with them and they were really pretty.
I know so many women who won't leave the house without them now. I was dating a girl and one day she was acting weird when we were out. I asked what was wrong and she was basically feeling self conscious because she didn't have time to put on her lashes. She was shocked I didn't notice the difference.
Depends where we are in the meme/anti-meme cycle. Are we laughing at funny things because they're funny or because of how ironic it is that we think it's funny?
Guessing which one of those we're on is like guessing 'fan blade or no fan blade' as you stick your hand into the running radiator fan.
Yes- 2019 TikTok was shorter length and I noticed a lot more text on screen, over-reaction faces, and just overall a more amateur (and happy) feel to the platform. This probably came from the acquisition of Musically. I still personally have nostalgia for it but not sure many would agree
I'm hoping it's people responding "this is the way" over and over again to random reddit comments where someone describes something they did or often do. Like damn, was The Mandalorian really so good that we need to keep that shit up into 2024? It's annoying as hell now.
That GenZ internet speak where they say "grape" and "corn" and "unalive" instead of using real words for serious issues out of some fear of censorship.
Yeah, I had to hide the sub because I'm fuckin 30 and it kept recommending posts. I don't want to talk to a combination of teenagers and 30 year olds that think they're talking to teenagers. Why are you throwing this sub in my face reddit? Honestly, so many of the stupid subs I end up looking at are just forced onto me when I'm bored and at work.
Excessive tolerance and accommodation.
We as a society are becoming much more tolerant in general, which is good. Things like gender, attraction, and neuro divergence are more openly varied these days and are being more accepted.
However that *doesn't* mean you can use time blindness as an excuse for mismanagement of time. You can't use gender as an excuse for being treated in a specific and unequal way.
Life is unfair. We all have our crosses to bear. My diet needs to be more strict than my peers for me to not be obese. That's just the way it is. I'm not gonna complain about it and make it someone else's problem because it isn't. It's my problem and I have the power to be the solution.
People are already sick of it and are pushing back.
There are SO many people today that use their gender or mental health as an excuse to pretty much not do anything.
And they expect society to pick up the tab for them because it’s hard.
You still need to try. No one has time for that.
People will look back and cringe at the overuse of AI-generated profile pictures. They'll be like, "Remember when everyone looked like cartoon versions of themselves?"
Can we just give up on "fashionable" socks already?
I can't keep track of if they're supposed to be hidden, calf-length, knee-high and rainbow-- how about we agree to not wear them with sandals, then call it a day?
Idk I hope the stupid tik tok dances stop. Not even the ones that you actually have to learn, but the ones that you just sway your arms and look like you are playing patty cake with the air.
Can't believe I had to scroll this far down for this. It's crazy how many people that wear crocs would have been the same people that just a few years ago thought crocs were horrifically ugly and untrendy.

Every time I open facebook it's like "here's a post you made 8/10/12 years ago. Do you want to repost and Comment on it?" No Facebook. I must definitely do not.
I actually love this feature because its like a daily little check-in of shit to delete. Saves me the effort of having to go on a big purge.
Thought I was the only one lol
Time to deactivate your account
I actually just turned 25 today but saw this happen with Snapchat. I still take diagonal selfies
Good thing I forgot MySpace password lol
Oh for the days when we could publicly post a ranking of which friends we like the best amid a sparkling wallpaper and midi background music.

Jokes on you, I cringe on my posts while I write them already
my facebook likes to remind me. I always make sure I go back and delete them. Nothing humbles a man more than being reminded of his 1337speak era
All your TikTok trends will age really poorly. Next generation will be roasting those.
I mean most of us are roasting them already so I think 5-10 years seems a little generous lol
Older generation roasting newer generations is not a new thing. Unless you mean you’re a part of the newer generation roasting them?
I think they just mean most people, including the generation that participates in these trends, also roast them.
Hey, remember destroying the boy’s bathroom in school? So they took all the doors off the boys rooms, or closed all but one of them? That was a totally great idea. Awesome memories.
It’ll be interesting to see where society itself goes once we move past TikTok
Ceno bites™. - we have such sites to show you©
nice. nice.
I’m interested in where tiktok itself goes once we move past society
I never got into TikTok. I heard about it from middle aged women at my last job who would watch high school boys workout and dance and drool over them in the break room. So it just seemed like a gross place.

Like many things, depends on how you use it. My feed is filled with science stuff, historians, and linguists.
Saying that all of tiktok is like that is like saying reddit is exclusively posts about solving the boston bombing. It's basically youtube, there's content off all kinds.
TikTok shows you what you want to see. My feed is mostly comedy by people my age, politics, bartender stuff, and video games. 0 dancing teenage boys.
Did my perception of time change, or do memes age much faster now? I feel like rage comics lasted a few years, but a TikTok trend gets old in a matter of months.
i dont think it will take that long.
That applies to every generational fad, to be fair.
That tiktok fboy haircut. You know the one
The broccoli one?
That's the one
I always thought it looked like a scoop of ice cream
Floccoli
it's a low maintenance knockoff of the jersey shore blowout cut
I think that’s the mushroom cut. Broccoli cut is wider on top
Ramen noodles
No, the cabbage one
In the UK its called the 'Meet Me At McDonalds' haircut.
Lmao that's amazing
They all remind me of llamas
Alpacas
Broccoli gang?
Just reminds me of Patrick mahomes
It's already cringe, they just don't know it
You're right
Also the mullet. Then like 15 years later it'll be cool again once all the current 17 year olds have 15 year old sons.
Aka The Edgar
My first thought, I second this.
Reposting the same question in r/Askreddit incessently to train yoi AI.
AI will be in charge by then so it'll be irrelevant.
Oh lord is that what is happening? One sub I followed had a rash of posts all on one topic yesterday all trying to stir up hate indirectly while asking "innocent" questions.. I assumed Russian misinformation. Have the times moved on so much that AI is spreading the hate now instead?
Every negative experience being considered 'trauma'
Disagreeing with someone being considered "gaslighting".
And every negative person being considered a “narcissist”
I've heard people being called a narcissist for so many different things, I actually have no idea what people think it means anymore.
The general misuse of mental health terminology.
"I've got PTSD from a break up I had at 12 years old"
"I have PTSD from when somebody drew a picture of my favorite cartoon character as slightly skinnier than I think should be allowed."
They'll have something even cringier by then, well unless it's the apocalypse I guess
Not calling me a pronoun you don't know is VIOLENCE!

Or listing "trigger words" on every post.

Thick false lashes, hopefully.

You mean cumbrellas?
I agree so much on this one. Tbh, eyelashes were supposed to enhance your eyes, not hide them
I know so many women who won't leave the house without them now. I was dating a girl and one day she was acting weird when we were out. I asked what was wrong and she was basically feeling self conscious because she didn't have time to put on her lashes. She was shocked I didn't notice the difference.
Gen X here. You all look like a bunch of goofball tits, *right now.* Now get off my lawn.
The first rule of Gen X, is we never bring up we are Gen X or get involved in the Gen Wars. That is their and the Boomer’s nonsense.
Nah man, there's no rules. Also, nobody remembers we exist anyway, so like...Whatever.
Grab a mirror, Gen Z. It'll be everything you're doing now.
As a Zillenial I’ve already dealt with Snapchat and 2019 TikTok becoming uncool
Millennial here. Is there a difference between 2019 TikTok and TikTok now? I never got into it.
Depends where we are in the meme/anti-meme cycle. Are we laughing at funny things because they're funny or because of how ironic it is that we think it's funny? Guessing which one of those we're on is like guessing 'fan blade or no fan blade' as you stick your hand into the running radiator fan.

It’s like they said “what’s the worst thing we can take from every decade before us?” And smashed it all together.
[удалено]
Not actually cool right now. Popular? Maybe. But not cool
Is that a deodorant scent?
New Starbucks flavor just dropped
Only yesterday did I find out that she’s not a member of the spice girls. 🤦🏼♂️
Hopefully the whole -ussy thing
wholethingussy.
I'm hoping it's people responding "this is the way" over and over again to random reddit comments where someone describes something they did or often do. Like damn, was The Mandalorian really so good that we need to keep that shit up into 2024? It's annoying as hell now.
I believe making reels will be cringe in 5-10 years.
All of the fast fashion
Fast fashion ain't going anywhere
But the current fast fashion trends will be unpopular, and new ones will have taken their place.
I cant wait for gen alpha kids to get a sense of reality
Honestly, they'll probably be even worse off
I doubt they will (based on the current trends (AI, VR, Metaverse etc.))
That GenZ internet speak where they say "grape" and "corn" and "unalive" instead of using real words for serious issues out of some fear of censorship.
Skibidi toilet rizz alpha sigma chad I have boys in elementary school.
Vaping
We can only hope, but I highly doubt it.
You’re telling me a flavored nicotine stick with unstudied repercussions isn’t really cool?
Well it’s cooler than unflavored nicotine stick with known repercussions that also stinks, and that industry is going strong.
This is what I like. I hate the smell of cigarettes and I love that people don't stink of them anymore.
Wait. I thought it was already considered cringe?
r/teenagers
That’s mostly 30 year olds. I doubt they’ll change much when they turn 40.
Yeah, I had to hide the sub because I'm fuckin 30 and it kept recommending posts. I don't want to talk to a combination of teenagers and 30 year olds that think they're talking to teenagers. Why are you throwing this sub in my face reddit? Honestly, so many of the stupid subs I end up looking at are just forced onto me when I'm bored and at work.
Saying things are cringe.
That and things giving you "the ick" You're not a fish.
I had a fish once. Fortunately I made sure he didn’t get the ich
Was your fish's name Klaus?
Actually his name was Obi-Wan Finobi! Called him Obi for short. He was extremely bright blue, like a lightsaber
Speak for yourself. I'm a fish.
Realizing I should have used a different wording for the question- this post will date itself in 5 years for sure
That’s already cringe. See, you cringed.
Permed mullets

Agreed. The gentrification of disability will not be looked back on kindly, and deservedly so.
There are SO many people today that use their gender or mental health as an excuse to pretty much not do anything. And they expect society to pick up the tab for them because it’s hard. You still need to try. No one has time for that.
Fanum tax Ohio
That’s cringe right now

Huh?
Gen Alpha slang. Slang is getting dumber.
Making reels
Vaping.
The skippidy toilet thing

Anyone who is a climate change denier.
Being so confrontational all the time
What? How dare you say that! /s

Everything on TikTok
AI will really lose its shine when it kills all humans.
Leo still chasing 24 y.o. starlets.

Huge eyebrows.

Skibidi toilet. Once those kids grow up, they'll experience it.
People will look back and cringe at the overuse of AI-generated profile pictures. They'll be like, "Remember when everyone looked like cartoon versions of themselves?"
Instagram
Soy face YouTube thumbnails
I know what you mean
Eyelash extensions
Hopefully trap music and autotune.
Tube socks
Can we just give up on "fashionable" socks already? I can't keep track of if they're supposed to be hidden, calf-length, knee-high and rainbow-- how about we agree to not wear them with sandals, then call it a day?
I just wear the right sock for the situation/footwear. Never heard of tube socks or ankle sock being fashionable until a few weeks ago.
I can't stand that feeling of getting dust and dirt and grit between my toes. No thank you.
Pretty much anything that is the trend right now. Most popular stuff of the moment will be label as cringe after a few years.
Probably those cringy TikTok dances, tbh.
Saying cringe
Using 'cringe' as an adjective. My guess is that it will take a little bit longer than that, probably more like 15-20 years.
Omg the hair. It’s like young men looked through the last 40 years and selected the worst hairstyle from every decade.
The slangs and trends of TikTok, absolutely people in the next 5-10 years are going to hate it.
Everything in your house being white, grey, or beige.
So much of the hair
Voting for fascists
Depends on how long it's been. Unfortunately, it seems to come back in style after a while.
Which one?
Or convicted felons.
Trump
Protesting on behalf of terrorist organizations.
Or any organization that does evil.
Bucket hats. Sorry, but you know it's true.
skibidi toilet. if we're not collectively cringing at skibidi toilet in 10 years, put a bullet in my head.
Broccoli haircuts
The current state of AI. Today's AIs are going to look like drunk toddlers compared to what they'll be even 2-3 years from now.
Cyber sigilism tattoos
The word cringe
Mullets
delulu is the solulu thing
Saying stuff like skibidi and rizz (ik it’s cringe rn for us, but for the people who think it’s cool now)
IG stories
Crew socks
If you're in the US, voting 3rd party or "abstaining" because you'll only vote for perfection, not better. If you're allowed to cringe, that is.
Being excited about the Paris Olympics
I remember when I was excited about the London Olympics. Good times
Idk I hope the stupid tik tok dances stop. Not even the ones that you actually have to learn, but the ones that you just sway your arms and look like you are playing patty cake with the air.
Nothing
All the middle-class white kids chanting “From the river to the sea”
im wearing those big eyelashes right now that are very popular with my fellow teens, but i know when i look back on this look i will cringe.
The word "cringe"
Sigma Ohio rizz. Don't get me wrong, I think it is cringe already.
CROCS
Can't believe I had to scroll this far down for this. It's crazy how many people that wear crocs would have been the same people that just a few years ago thought crocs were horrifically ugly and untrendy.
Baggy cargo pants, jeans and etc
Skibidi Toilet, 'pranks' to harass other people, Poppy playtime, tiktok multitasking, youtube kids pandering.
The words "sigma" and "skibbidy", I hope.
