There are some memes and hashtags that have been around for a long time, even though we wish they would go away, but listen. These things persist for a reason, and people using the phrase “I’m this many years old” and “I’m this old” posts just aren’t ever going to get old.
I think it’s because we all like to reminisce about our youth, and if we’re going to remember how old we are, it’s nice to realize that we’re not alone.
So, here are 15 people who are as old as you are – you can tell by the pictures you recognize.
15. If you took it inside with you, no one could steal your stereo.
Is that how it worked, or just how we thought it worked? I honestly don’t know.

14. The day you filled them all up was the pinnacle.
You really loved music then, obviously. Even though on some of the CDs you only listened to one song.

Hey, I’m old, and honestly, I’ve never been happier. So there’s that.
