Millennials were kind of the pioneers of the internet age; our presence here is strong, and we were the first generation to truly grow up with the internet as a constant.

All of this would be pretty unremarkable on its own, except it means we’re living in an era when the first internet generation is starting to feel its age for the first time, and boy oh boy do we have some stuff to say about it.
Enjoy these funny tweets from people who know they ain’t as young as they used to be.

8. A new era
How. Dare. You.
In case you were having a good day, know that kids refer to the 90s as “the late 1900s”.
