Nostalgia usually refers to all the things in the past that you remember fondly like your favorite toy or after-school snack. But deep in the recesses of nostalgia are all the things that were nightmare fuel for children everywhere. It’s still part of you in the deep corners of your mind and it will never leave. Funny enough a lot of the nightmare fuel for children in the '90s and early 2000s were things made for children to consume.

So we have gathered screenshots from cursed TV Shows, commercials, movies, and viral internet videos from the '90s and early 2000s to get a sense of why Millennials and Zoomers are like that, mentally. When it comes to commercials and TV shows like Courage The Cowardly Dog, adults created that for kids to watch and have nightmares about for years. The early CGI animation may have looked cool and new at the time but looking back at it, it’s a monstrosity that probably should’ve never been created.

Scroll down if you are brave enough to experience the most cursed images from your childhood. On the bright side, there's no maze flash game on the internet to give you a heart attack. Gen Alpha is lucky for that.
