Millennials may be The Impotent King (2005) in English Subtitlesone of the biggest generations (and most scrutinized), but there's a large demographic rising behind them - Generation Z.

The iGeneration, sounds straight out of a War of the Worldsmovie, are generally not talked about, but are ahead of the game in technology and new lingo to fast to catch up on.

There are plenty of cultural references and trends the young generation will never understand, or be apart of, and boy, does that make us feel old.

So, here are a few costume ideas that will trip up anyone born in the early 2000s.

Television shows not owned by Netflix, Hulu or Amazon

Some of these shows might be playing on Netflix, but before the streaming service, we actually watched shows on television...in real time. *gasp

The beginning of social media

Before Instagram and Snapchat, or even Mark Zuckerberg with Facebook, older generations had to deal with dial-ups and one instant messaging tool. While some things still exist, (how are you holding up Myspace?) there's ways to pay tribute to the fallen ones. RIP AIM.

'90s Cartoons

Before cartoons like Rick & Morty, Bob's Burgers and Stephen Universe there were shows like Beavis & Butthead. The young generation aren't going to understand the dark humor references or join in on the sing along to the Rugratstheme song.

Before fidget spinners...

Kids were hiding their gameboys and tamagotchis in school. Although tamagotchis are making a comeback, the costumes are just going to have to explain why its still damn good idea.

Old memes before memes were a thing

We can't get enough of Salt Bae, Mocking Spongebob, and White Guy Blinking, but there are old memes out there before social media even existed.

Original movies, not the remakes

Before Pennywise was breaking the movie box office and Chris Pratt was gracing the screen with dinosaur science-experimented sequels, older generations had television mini series and original movies. Don't let the young generation undermine the original inspirations behind these popular hits.

So, continue to puzzle the younger generation just as much as they confuse you 365 days of the year.
