In said memes, the pictures depict everything from snapshots of the game Sims, to old Tumblr posts, influencers that were famous years ago, or other aspects that have affected people either as they were growing up or later in life. If you’re interested in seeing what were some of the major influences for individuals back in the day—whatever the point in time the day refers to—scroll down to find some examples on the list below and enjoy. Below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with Roberta Michnick Golinkoff, Ph. D., the Unidel H. Rodney Sharp Chair and professor in the School of Education at the University of Delaware, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about the major influences in people’s lives. Judging from what has been floating around the online space since the release of the album, one song in particular seems to have reached quite a vast audience, if not because of the song itself, then because of the viral meme linked to it; it’s track number 10, titled ‘Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me’. Roughly three minutes into the song, Taylor uses the phrase ‘You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me’, arguably referring to the detrimental aspects of stardom. But some internet users took a slightly different approach, adjusting the catchphrase to what they believe has been their “asylum” while growing up or even during adulthood. TayTay added that there’s quite a lot about this particular concept throughout the entire album. “What do we do to our writers, and our artists, and our creatives? We put them through hell. We watch what they create, then we judge it. We love to watch artists in pain, often to the point where I think sometimes as a society we provoke that pain and we just watch what happens,” she shared. “That’s why I like tennis,” she shared. “It is a game that takes more than a lifetime to master. For kids, some games like Candyland get old as they acquire more skills, as such games as Monopoly require you to know how to count money, for example, or chess requires you to think strategically.” They might start to wonder, what would make a better video game, for instance. Or what can we do with all the glass in New Orleans? “A pair of friends decided to grind the bottles into glass and use them to fill in places where hurricanes washed it. They now have 15 employees,” the expert shared, providing an example of a fruitful collaboration, stemming from someone’s ability to relate to another person or a similar goal. While seeing a relatable meme online might not bring the same benefits as relating to someone in real life, some of the examples on this list have likely sent quite a few people down memory lane and provided them with a warm and fuzzy feeling.
