Nostalgic vibes have been overtaking every aspect of our lives from beauty and fashion to music and movies, and now they’re coming for our memes. The latest viral craze comes in the form of “you had to be there” memes that will take you years or even decades into the past.
Thanks to this trending meme, Twitter is now overflowing with posts from people reminiscing about the good (and not-so-good) old days. These nostalgia-inducing posts perfectly capture the zeitgeist of the past eras through things that we all used to enjoy during that time.
Twitter users have been sharing photos of movies they used to watch, music they used to listen to, and games they used to play during the 90s, 2000s, and 2010s. Some “you had to be there” memes also feature photos of food, toys, pop culture moments, and completely random things that connect us to the past.
These memes aren’t simply about remembering the things that we once loved and lost. Some of these memories weren’t even that good, but people are now finding catharsis in the shared experience and saying that repeating it just wouldn’t be the same because “you had to be there”.
Check out some of the best memes so far and get ready for major nostalgia hit.
