From rage comics to Microsoft Paint drawings, these ancient tweets published on @OldMemeArchive will transport you back to those years when you might’ve had one of those phones that slid open horizontally with a keyboard, or your parents only allowed you to do twenty minutes at a time on the computer. Those were some odd years, and we were odd people. Take a stroll down memory lane and revisit those memes you may have forgotten about, the memes that defined an art form and got the ball rolling.
