People are staying at home that has seemingly inspired many trends on social media. Every day there is something new on the internet, with netizens making a lot of memes and jokes out of it too. Now, people are sharing how they looked when they were 20. Yes, to what it feels like the millionth day of the coronavirus lockdown in many countries, individuals woke up to discover friends and acquaintances, sharing photos of themselves at age 20. They flood their Twitter timeline with throwback pictures, being in the nostalgia phase of the pandemic, with the hashtag, #MeAt20.

Being at 20 years is interesting. A lot of things happens for the first time. It is also when a lot of people are going out on their own. Some are out of their parent’s house, just long enough to start forming a separate identity, but not quite long enough to really know what they are doing. First jobs, crazy decisions, crazier haircuts—being 20 involves all of it and a lot more. So when people saw #MeAt20 trending, none could resist but share throwbacks of how there were at that age.

Wohoo
There are thousands of photos of #MeAt20 (height of compact digital cameras, boom of Facebook and lots of drunken nights out). Lots of fun had to be sure. But hard to look back without remembering all the crap I was putting myself through at the same time. 30s are much better! pic.twitter.com/rHDdjHqLgA
