30 Problems We Had As Kids That No One Needs To Worry About Today!

As millennials, we don’t really get the problems that today’s kids have. And to be honest, we often don’t even understand the context of their problems. Or have you on TikTok lately? On the other hand, we had problems between the 80s and 2000s that are hard to explain today. Why did we have “Anti-Skip” on our CD players, for example? And why did we rub bananas onto our CDs?

We don’t think we can teach today’s kids anything with this article – but it might at least help you “oldies“ remember a thing or two… Here are 30 everyday problems that only millennials will remember!
