Walked into a vintage shop in my hometown and felt like I time traveled

Saw a whole shelf of those old Millennial reaction image memes printed on actual physical posters and it hit me that kids today probably just scroll past them without a second thought. Has anyone else found themselves explaining a classic meme like Bad Luck Brian to a younger relative and feeling ancient?

Holy crap, Bad Luck Brian on a physical poster? That's wild. I swear those memes feel like they were born and died on the internet, seeing them in the wild like a museum exhibit is tripping me out. My nephew asked me why a guy in a sweater vest was "famous" and I had to explain the whole era of image macros. Felt like I was telling him about rotary phones or something.

Yeah it’s wild how fast the internet just buries whole eras like that.
