If you grew up in the ’90s, the future seemed awesome. We were promised flying cars, robot best friends, meals that cooked themselves, and a life where everything would be easier. Instead, adulthood handed us student loans, burnout, and a constant stream of “please update your password” emails. The “I Miss the Future” tee speaks directly to that strangely specific millennial ache—the feeling of mourning something that technically never happened, but still feels very, very real.
This design taps into that bittersweet nostalgia: the way we used to lie on our bedroom floors, staring at glow-in-the-dark stars and imagining who we’d become. The way every cartoon, movie, and commercial made it seem like the year 2020 would be a neon utopia instead of… whatever this is. It’s a mix of humor, heartbreak, and the kind of self-awareness that only millennials have perfected.
Made for anyone who misses roller rink nights, fruity body sprays, Saturday morning cartoons, and the belief that things were only going to get better from here. It’s for the ones who still feel like kids trapped in adult bodies, googling “how to do your taxes” every single year. This shirt doesn’t have the answers—but it does validate the vibe.
