The Super Bowl 56 halftime show was a match made in millennial heaven.
It was about time they moved on from Bruce Springsteen and The Rolling Stones and brought in some music for the younger generation.
Oh, wait.
Sunday’s epic performance that included hip-hop icons Dr. Dre, 56, Snoop Dogg, 50, Mary J. Blige, 51,Eminem, 49, 50 Cent, 46 and the “baby” of the group, Kendrick Lamar, 34, served as a harsh reminder that the Gen X and Gen Y generations are old now.
And the internet had a lot of fun with our collective awakening.
“Everybody born between 1985 and 1995 saw the Super Bowl halftime show lineup and was like ‘sweet, instead of doing a show for old people like the Rolling Stones or Paul McCartney or The Who they did one for us young people’ ”tweeted @rodger.
“And then 10 seconds later it hit us,” the tweet added.
Yes, we are the “old people” now.
Here are more hilarious memes and tweets we found – and if you had to have a college email to sign up for Facebook, you’ll probably enjoy them, too.

We can’t drop it like it’s hot like we used to.
We remember Discmans and phones with cords.
We might even be parents now. But we were cool once, we swear.
It was so nostalgic.
We took this seriously.
We were dancing like it was prom.
And we all ended up like Blige on our living room floors.
The kids are still confused.
