Maybe you’ve survived the 90s. In that case: Congratulations on your survival in an era when flannel shirts could be paired with casual jeans without anyone blinking an eye. You are here now, and this is the main thing.

Twitter responded loudly. What he came up with suggests the ultimate ’90s experience of being in your 20s at the start of the decade – or also perhaps a caveman, a foul-mouthed store clerk, a hip-hop duo trying to stop someone from your people, or even literally a crow.

Please forward your complaints accordingly and then leave your choice in the comments.
