Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve been afraid of «peaking.» The idea of reaching a point where you feel like «everything’s downhill from here» was and still is terrifying. I remember being in the car with my high school girlfriend’s dad, and we talked about peaking in high school. I mentioned not wanting to …

‘Parenting where kids are allowed to have feelings’: Millennials share the positive trends that their generation have started
Historically speaking, millennials have been a much-maligned generation that has faced critique from both sides. Boomers and Gen X have written them off as a bunch of self-indulgent spendthrifts, and Gen Z has made a point about dismissing them as cringe. While the adults also known as Gen Y are far from the perfect cohort, …

Millennial criticizes Gen Zers with the minds of 16-year-olds and the faces of 32-year olds: ‘Boomers thought the same about your generation’
As a Gen Zer, I know that it’s expected of me to get into generational squabbles with millennials. I’m supposed to say they’re cringe adult Harry Potter fans who are pushing 50, but I’m not going to do that. I have a shred of dignity left in my Zoomer body, and I intend to maintain …

‘I don’t wanna spend my money’: Stingy traveler claims that people in their 20s shouldn’t have real vacations
One way in which I am very lucky is that I have had a relatively well-traveled youth. This has never been a luxury cruise, five-star hotel kind of experience, but it has been enriching nonetheless. Seeing the world is one of those things a lot of older people get misty-eyed about when they’re trying to …

29-Year-Old Man Brags About ‘Training’ His 19-Year-Old Girlfriend Into ‘The Perfect Woman For Him’
Age gap relationships are among my favorite and least favorite pieces of internet discourse. If I’m being honest, I have been a valiant defender of some age-gap relationships on Memebase. I don’t like when slight age gaps are blamed for other obvious issues in relationships, and I especially don’t like it when people infantilize perfectly …

Young People Discuss The Importance of Intergenerational Friendships
So many people are weird about age. We’ve got 20-year-olds telling 25-year-olds that they «look good for their age.» Middle-aged people are catastrophizing about young people killing various industries. Twenty-somethings claim that a 26-year-old dating a 38-year-old is a predatory age gap. If you’re spending too much time online, it might seem like nobody knows …

Twitter Users Discuss the Importance of Getting Dating Experience When Young
One of the biggest cultural movements of the past few years has been the nebulous phrase of ‘self-care’. Many of us have been consistently encouraged to be mindful of our own needs, find time to relax, and most importantly, protect our peace. While it’s a good thing to have some increased awareness of our mental …

Clueless Tech Bro Gets Roasted for Instructing People Not to Fall in Love in Their 20s
I have to say that we don’t always take the most positive attitude towards love at Memebase. Once you’ve seen enough awful Reddit stories about miserable marriages and countless dating app users acting like the Jigsaw Killer, you start to get a little bit jaded about all things Cupid-related. Don’t let this fool you, though! …

Twitter Debates Whether Young Al Pacino or Young Robert De Niro Was Hotter
It’s shocking to find out that most people have a completely different taste in men than you do. When I was a kid, I thought that everyone thought Kevin was the hottest Jonas Brother, only to discover later that nobody except me held that opinion. Everybody has different tastes, but when you put two similar …
