Meme Musical millennial problems...

Hearing someone casually say “how bizarre” and immediately having to fight the urge to go, “How bizarre, how bizarre…”

There are certain phrases that just aren’t normal words anymore. They’re song lyrics permanently burned into my brain.

What’s another completely ordinary phrase that instantly triggers a song for you?

Haven't heard this in ages

The song came out in ‘95… 😂🤣

I still think of the phrase “welcome to the 90s” as something you say to people when they need to get with the modern times.
