About

We Were Too Young to Understand is a phrase used in a series of Twitter / X posts that caption four images from SpongeBob SquarePants showing SpongeBob taking pills and dancing, implying that the writers were secretly portraying adult nightclub activities like drug-induced raves. However, the scenes were actually from different episodes. Regardless, the tweet format gained multiple copycats in the 2020s, resulting in parodies of the tweet as a way to mock unoriginal creators who repeatedly stole and reposted the same image and caption. The trend of parodies was similar to other trends that mocked unoriginal Twitter users and copycat posts like What Was 'The Incident' At Your High School? and Apple's Best Feature, among others.
