The memory of the smell is enough to make a 30-something shudder with fear.

Millennials were the last generation to experience house phones, so it’s ironic that in modern times, they cannot handle someone calling them instead of texting.

Parents truly believed putting a bowl on a kid’s head and just cutting around it was okay.

Macaulay Culkin means a lot to this generation, so when he got taken down by a barrage of bees, it was a lot to handle. Millennials still scream about how Thomas Jay can’t see without his glasses in My Girl. 

Millennials will never own homes because, at 10, they invested in toys that were stuffed with so-called beans.

Some of Tiger Beat’s elite rocked the parted hair, but seeing it now is just a reminder of how outdated it looks and lost youth.

Don’t go to a fast food spot with a millennial and expect them not to tell you how much a kids’ meal was in 1995.

Dinosaurs died long before humans could bond with them, but that didn’t stop millennials from feeling emotionally attached and destroyed by the passing of Little Foot’s mother in The Land Before Time.

Low-rise jeans plagued millennials during middle and high school. Seen as fashionable at the time, they are now merely just a dark time they’d like to keep tucked in the back of their mental closets.

Not every millennial grew up with access to the internet, but those who did know all too well how deafening the sounds were when you logged on.

This is a generation that would hoard stickers in contraptions called sticker books so that they didn’t have to fully commit to permanently sticking the sticker somewhere.

Most millennials will never face a stampede, but they forever flinch at the thought because of Mufasa’s untimely death.

A lot of millennials’ parents smoked throughout their childhoods, and while some picked up the bad habit, many were swayed by the anti-smoking ads that ran rampant through the ‘90s and ‘00s. So much so that many can’t fathom picking up a pack, especially when it comes to the price.

Not because millennials devoted their lives to bacon and the idea of it via fashion in the 2000s, but because, once upon a time, they were obsessed with a pig in a movie named Babe.

Even families that weren’t heading to church on Easter Sunday somehow managed to dress their kids in these itchy demons.

It’s hard for someone who was alive and well during the Spice Girls’ heyday to see ginger as an ingredient and not think back to that fateful day in which MTV’s Kurt Loder popped up with the breaking news that Ginger had parted ways with the internationally beloved girl group.

Disney managed to make some of the best movies of the ‘90s and some of the hardest video games. The thing about The Lion King is that it could take the No. 1 spot in both of those categories.
