It's funny (not funny) that those 3 things seem like the least bad things a person could pick, when complaining about 2026.

Playing on gba, snes and genesis emulators on my yellowish pc, good times

Take me back

I had that Rage shirt

Do you think your mom will get us a Bigfoot from Pizza Hut tonight?

Magic The Gathering cards were the NFTs of our generation 

Did I look like that? Dear god, my parents were right...

I’m still sad they discontinued Choco Tacos; that was my go-to at ice cream trucks

I wanna go back!!

Everyday I start my morning with coffee made from beans I grind and a stiff bonk to the head courtesy of a rake I leave out for the purpose of hopefully waking up on the middle school playground where I'm surrounded with concerned friends.

The more I think about the late 90s and mid 00s, the less I want to go back to it. What I want is to not know things, not know how horrible things are, because I know things in the 90s and 00s were horrid too, I was just too young to notice.

I'm sure there are some people out there that have nostalgia for 2012 because that's when they were a child. I remember the massive push for Ron Paul 2012 and how insufferable everyone was.

"Left Napster running."

JFC that's a mind melt. I forgot that we used to "leave things on" to let them do stuff like download music. "On" was not the default. Now, everything is on all the time and I hadn't realized until this moment how much I was attuned to that. I want to go back.

Are those soap shoes?

Where's Bonzai Buddy when you need him?

What’s the middle kid’s shirt? That’s the only one I’m drawing a blank on.

Must be 90's, no one suggesting going to a doctor after a clearly heavy hit on the head.

Maximum Derick.

No. I don’t want jeans that soak up water from puddles in the rain.

"And that was Smashmouth! Now, give it up for Limp Bizkit!"

I'm going to take a wild guess and say Ozzfest 1999.

Looking at this pic makes me conclude I made the right fashion choices (or lack thereof) along the way. Jeans and T-Shirt all the way, even during my black metal phase.

Although during that time I did dye my (long) hair Black No. 1. Which is kinda funny, as someone claimed back then that I looked like a younger Pete Steele (Of Type O Negative fame, who's most famous song is Black No. 1, in case you didn't know).

So what am I wearing now? Yeah, you guessed wrong. My jeans are in the washer, so I'm currently sporting t-shirt and half a track suit. My hair is getting pretty long again, but dying it is just too much hazzle.
