It’s funny – for a generation that’s as instagtantly nostalgic as mine is, we rarely actually wanna look at what we were like back in the day.
Because the past, by and large, is not pretty. Though it is frequently hilarious.
Enter a fascinating rabbit hole on Reddit called r/blunderyears, where people voluntarily post relics of their own cringey past that they may be mourned and celebrated communally.
Let us enter the zone now, and try to survive.

15yo me, I thought this outfit was choice.

It’s hardly fair, there’s one of me, and yet only four of me.
Four times the danger….

2. Eye see you
“Nice try God, I’ll take it from here.”
At 15, I thought if I shaved my eyebrows off it would be easier to make them symmetrical. For this heinous act, I am sorry.

1. Oh brother
I…kind of need to hear this immediately.
Found this at a friends house. Her little brothers made a rap album when they were younger

If heartwarming cringe could be converted to electricity, this page could power a city.
What were your blunder years like? What did you wear? What did you do for fun?
