15 Things You Might Remember From Glory Days of Tumblr

Tumblr was established way back in 2007, but some would argue its heyday in the early 2010s. It’s still going strong today, despite a significant drop in traffic in 2019 when certain *ahem* NSFW policies were enacted. It has evolved with the rest of the internet, but for many of us, its weird peak came right at our most formative years, and there are a lot of elements from that bygone era seared directly into our brains.

How many of these Tumblr staples do you recognize?
