    I was so attracted to those type of girls when I was in high school.

    Unfortunately, they were never into me :(

      JNCO parachute pants, a Korn shirt, wallet chains, and ball-chain necklaces were the uniform of that time period. Gen-Z mushroom tops also have nothing on the all around close shave with long front bangs.

    If you’d told me I’d miss 2006 back in 2006 I’d have laughed.

    Let the kids have their cringe phase

    Side note: how in the ever loving fuck did the creators of Invader Zim convince the Nickelodeon execs that it was a “kids show” - and not just once, but for two seasons?

      Are you talking about the same Nickelodeon that showed Ren and Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life?

        Elder millennial here. Personally I view this as the kind of good natured ribbing that comes from a healthy relationship between an older and younger sibling. I think our generation (and Gen X too) have an overall positive view of Gen Z, but you are out of your mind if you think we’re going to pass up an opportunity to give them some shit when it’s warranted!

        Rainmanslim’s comment doesn’t strike me as mean-spirited at all. If anything it’s the opposite of condescending because it acknowledges that the cringiness of being a teenager knows no generational bounds. Embrace it and enjoy it, and then enjoy it again when you’re old enough to laugh at your younger self!

    Those times were so much better, no Karens or women with blue hair and shaved heads.

    I was that age in 2006 and that style was strange to me back then as well
