Here Are Some Things That Only Millennials Will Appreciate

I may be on the cusp of Millennial-hood, but I’ll claim this identity proudly. Let the world hate us. At least we have brunch.

Now that we’ve killed just about everything worthwhile (sorry American cheese), it’s time to sit back and revel in our us-ness.

Here’s 10 things that only Millennials will appreciate.

1. Ah, yes:

Is it bad that I still don’t know what this is?

2. Checking movie times in the newspaper:

Remember print media?

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

3. Why?

Because we could.

4.Using LimeWire to download music:

We were so cool.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

5. Renting movies from Blockbuster:

This used to be a staple of my daily life.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

6. Listening to new music through headphones in the store:

Going to the store to buy music. What a time.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

7. When it seemed every teacher had these in their class:

Or those strawberry candies in the strawberry wrapping.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

8. I’m not going to tell you what that is:

If you’re truly a Millennial, you’ll know.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

9. Always rewind before returning to the store:

It’s just common curtesy.

Image Credit: Buzzfeed

10. Landlines:

I genuinely do miss the feeling of a REAL phone in my hand. Not a tiny computer.

The best thing about being a Millennial isn’t the crushing student loan debt or the fact that people think we’re lazy despite the fact that a lot of us have multiple jobs just to get by. The best part of being a Millennial is the fact that we knew the world before.

We straddle he gap between millenniums. So we can appreciate a VHS tape just as much as the newest Apple product.

Which one of these do you relate to the most? Let us know in the comments!

Memes About the 1990s That Should Make You Feel Very Nostalgic

When it was happening, I didn’t think the 1990s were a great time to grow up, but in hindsight, it was pretty awesome.

Good music, good movies, good TV shows, and the world wasn’t totally on fire yet. At least for the most part.

Looking back on it, that decade really does seem like a more innocent time and I, for one, miss those days.

Let’s enjoy some memes about that glorious decade that will make you sit back and remember the good old days.

1. Oh, I remember…

I remember it well…

Memes About Life in the 1990s and Why Kids Will Never Know the Struggle

I try not to go off on my “you damn kids don’t know how good you’ve got it!” rants too often. After all, it’s not like us American 90’s kids grew up traversing a dessert to get well water or something. It’s not like we were all dying of dysentery in our ox-drawn carriages (though we did love to pretend we were, for some reason.)

Still. The rate at which technology has moved in the last few decades does mess with my mind enough that I can’t help but occasionally shake my head at how different everything is.

Let’s reflect on this with some memes.

15. Circle “yes,” “no,” or “maybe”

14. WELL IS SHE?!

13. It’s amazing I never wrecked my car flipping through this

12. This was my retirement plan

11. There’s a lot going on here

10. As long as nobody finds my diary

9. This sentence would be gibberish now

8. Our coming of age was a little…slower

7. And then you’d immediately lose this

6. We didn’t understand minesweeper, but we played it, dammit

5. Beware the dreaded double exposure!

4. Brought to you by limewire.exe

3. This is the only true art

2. There are so many more ways to ignore people now

1. Honestly, a better investment

Alright, now get off my lawn.

What was the hardest part about 90’s life for you?

Celebrate the 25th Anniversary of ‘My So-Called Life’ with These 10 Facts

Believe it or not, it’s been 25 years since the still-popular TV show My So-Called Life, a heartfelt portrayal of the struggles of mid-1990s teenagers and their families, debuted on ABC.

While the show only lasted for 19 episodes, from August 25, 1994, until January 26, 1995, My So-Called Life left a permanent mark on pop culture history.

Here are 10 facts about the show to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its premiere.

1. Alicia Silverstone was almost in the mix

Posted by Alicia Silverstone on Thursday, August 9, 2018

1990’s “It Girl” Alicia Silverstone almost played the lead role of Angela Chase, which eventually went to Claire Danes. Silverstone was deemed to be “too pretty” by Marshall Herskovitz, one of the executive producers of the show. He felt the character of Angela was too confused and awkward and Silverstone wasn’t the perfect fit for the role.

2. A big first

Photo Credit: ABC

The character of Rickie Vasquez (played by Wilson Cruz) was the first openly gay teenager on American network television.

3. A different Jordan?

Photo Credit: ABC

Jared Leto almost turned down the role of Jordan Catalano. The character was only supposed to appear in the pilot episode, but the producers realized they had something special with Leto and decided to make him a continuing character.

At the time, however, Leto was considering going to art school instead of acting, so he almost turned down the role. Good move.

4. Where’s Tino?

Photo Credit: ABC

There is a running joke in the series about a character named Tino, who is mentioned over and over again, but is never seen.

5. A real school

Photo Credit: Wikipedia

Although the show takes place in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the show was actually shot at a real high school in Los Angeles: University High School

6. Voiceovers

Photo Credit: ABC

Only two episodes in the series didn’t feature voiceovers by Angela Chase, played by Claire Danes. They were “Weekend,” which Danielle Chase narrated, and “Life of Brian,” which Brian Krakow narrated.

7. Save the show!

Fans were so rabid about My So-Called Life that they teamed up to try to save the show from being canceled. Operation Life Support was the first online fan campaign launched to try to save a TV show. ABC received thousands of letters from fans, but the show was ultimately canceled after 19 episodes.

8. Award winner

Photo Credit: ABC

Claire Danes won a Golden Globe award for her role as Angela Chase for Best Actress in a Drama Television Series. She was only 15 years old at the time.

9. Best Dad Ever

Photo Credit: ABC

Graham Chase (played by Tom Irwin) was named one of TV Guide’s “Top 50 TV Dads of All Time.” Not too shabby.

10. Tough competition

Photo Credit: ABC

My So-Called Life was praised by critics, but the low ratings the show received ultimately sank the whole thing. Part of the issue was the competitive time slot the show was placed in – it aired on Thursday nights at 8pm EST, up against FriendsMad About You, and Martin.

Remember the “Dad Wagon?” It’s Making a Trendy Comeback

Fashion/trendiness is whatever looks great today, will look ridiculous in 10 years, and become “vintage cool” in 20 years.

It’s a tale as old as time. Whether it’s clothes, music, or cars, it seems that what is old will always become new again given enough time.

Take the Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon, for example. Popularly dubbed the “Dad Wagon,” it was the subject of a lot of ridicule when it first came out… and for many, many years after.

Well, these babies are back on the road – thanks largely to millennials who are quite obviously digging them in a major way.

Hagerty Insurance reported an almost 50% increase in quotes for the vintage Buicks from 2017 to 2018, meaning that the Roadmaster Estate Wagon was the most requested car by 14 percentage points.

What??

The Roadmaster Estate Wagons were produced by Buick from 1991 until 1996, and they just scream 1990s style, don’t they? The Roadmaster Wagons are a whopping 18 feet long, can seat 8 people, and feature a sunroof, which we all need in our lives. But there’s another reason why these vehicles are appealing: under the hood is a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 engine that has 260 horsepower. That engine, by the way, is the same kind used in Corvettes, Camaros, and Firebird Trans-AMs.

The price tag is nice as well. The average listing price for a Roadmaster Wagon in the Kelley Blue Book is $2,990. Not bad, not bad at all.

Jonathan Klinger, a spokesperson for Hagerty, said, “It’s a fun way to stand out for not a whole lot of money. It’s like driving a couch down the road: Big comfy seats that lack any sort of real driver-oriented support, but they’re just cushy and comfortable. And with the V-8 engine, it’s got a little bit of sleeper status to it.”

What do you think? Are you going to run out and get your hands on one of these vintage beauties?
