Remember the good old days? When MySpace profiles were way more fun than Facebook timelines, nothing was worse than your crush putting up an away message right after you gathered up the courage to send “Hey wuts up,” and we all risked our computers by downloading songs on LimeWire because Spotify wasn’t around. It all seems like just yesterday.
Strangely enough, it wasn’t.
The beginning of the 2000s was 15 long years ago, and it’s evidenced by chilling facts. Kids don’t know who *NSYNC is. The thought of texting via T9 sounds like a joke. MySpace is about as ancient as papyrus.
Next time you visit your 10-year-old cousin, just try to complain about how you can’t decide on a perfect song for your MySpace page and watch how quickly confusion comes over her face. Turns out, a lot of phrases that meant everything in 2003 mean absolutely nothing today.
I feel old.
