Who remembers learning Hot Cross Buns on the recorder in elementary school?
Hmm, some good it's done us all to know the world's simplest song on society's silliest instrument. For Gen Xers who've spent their whole lives chasing the high of being the best recorder player in music class, it's an outrage that the recorder isn't a part of our daily lives. But for the rest of us who slipped idly by, pondering why every teacher sounded exactly like the wah-wah-wah-wah adults in the Peanut's movies, it feels like a long-forgotten era of our childhood.
That recorder is packed up in the attic alongside an overdue Blockbuster return, our favorite Walkman, and a couple of embarrassing family photos from Sears. Funnily enough, hidden alongside those goofy childhood memories are a few memes guaranteed to make anyone from the Gen X era snort a little laugh through their nostrils. So if you're from the forgotten generation, never forget those 3-note songs from grade school and keep scrolling to laugh at a few other core memories from long ago.
