Warning: the post below is likely to make you feel ancient. Like, fossil ancient. Read on at your own risk of burying hopes to stay a kid forever. Let this be a farewell to our inner Kevin McCallisters, since the last time we were home alone was two kids, a mortgage, and an infinite amount of Zoom meetings ago.

And my fellow millennials, things like burning CDs and MTV’s Pimp My Ride were things we proudly grew up with. But these days, Gen Zs clearly don’t know what floppy disks are for, or what hanging up the phone actually refers to… darn, everyone, are we really closer to boomers than we’d ever like to be?

In case you feel nostalgic towards more stuff from the millennial-approved childhood, make sure to check out our previous posts here and here.

    I'm likely much older than you and I also have no idea who Akon is.
