Popsugar Celebrity Award Season Reactions to the 2018 MTV VMAs 15 People Who Felt Old, Nostalgic, and Just Very Confused While Watching the MTV VMAs 22 August 2018 by Kelsie Gibson Image Source: Getty / ANGELA WEISS The MTV VMAs went down on Monday night, and per usual, the show was filled with some crazy moments. While there were a handful of star-studded performances throughout the night — including Ariana Grande's "God Is a Woman" and Nicki Minaj's "Barbie Dreams" — there were quite a few moments that left people very confused, and frankly, kinda old. Who is that young person on the stage? What song is this? Why is this show running past my bedtime? Not to mention, Jennifer Lopez's Vanguard performance and Backstreet Boys's pre-show appearance made people super nostalgic. See how Twitter reacted to the show ahead. I feel so old I literally don’t know who half of these people are and I’ve never heard their songs. #VMAs pic.twitter.com/8TZjBYF1gL— Calvin (@calvinstowell) August 21, 2018 1 / 15 I may be getting too old for #VMAs pic.twitter.com/nVpVjeRcNq— gigi alvarez (@Designshark7) August 21, 2018 2 / 15 Recap of me watching the #VMAs as an official old person: “who is this?” “Who is that?” “What kind of song is this?” “That’s a real name?” “What the fuck?”— Paige Radcliff (@paigeradcliff) August 21, 2018 3 / 15 The MTV Video Music Awards: The show that makes millennials feel old. #VMAs— Joe 'Monk' Pardavila (@joepardavila) August 21, 2018 4 / 15 Every year the #VMAs are on, I am grateful to be too old to care.— Dan Harland (@DanHarland) August 21, 2018 5 / 15 the crowd of young-ass people in the front row at this JLo performance attempting to sing along to her hits from 2003 #VMAs pic.twitter.com/IxPxH5fZUA— Drew Boehmker (@IfUSeekDrew) August 21, 2018 6 / 15 I know I'm old af I don't know half of these people smh #VMAs pic.twitter.com/4BTPm0SHm6— G1enniePop😉😎 (@GlenniePop) August 21, 2018 7 / 15 I’m officially old because I’m watching the #VMAs and sounding just like my parents.“Who is that?!”“Is that the trend now?”“What kind of song is this?”— TrendyCurvy (@TrendyCurvy) August 21, 2018 8 / 15 I don’t want to be that old ass bitch but I remember when the #VMAs lineup was Britney, Beyonce, Pink, Nsync, etc & they were all iconic performances back to back like what happened sis.— g a b e | #reptourhouston | 🐍 (@gabeawaycar) August 20, 2018 9 / 15 So this is what it’s like to be old and not recognize anyone. Never thought I’d see the day #VMAs— pobrecito (@mdltn) August 21, 2018 10 / 15 The #VMAs are engineered to make people like me feel old, but I'm not sure I've ever felt more decrepit than I felt watching The Backstreet Boys sing 2018's Song Of The Year nominees. I was 46 when tonight's show began, and now I'm a skeleton with a monocle.— Stephen Thompson (@idislikestephen) August 21, 2018 11 / 15 Turned on the @vmas prepared to feel old and confused but all I’ve seen so far is Jennifer Lopez, the cast of The Hills and now Backstreet Boys. So I guess what I’m saying is ... I still feel old and confused. #MTV #VMAs— LeAnn Wallace (@LeAnn_Wallace) August 21, 2018 12 / 15 #VMAsI'm actually so confused, I look away for a second and a new artist that I've never heard of is performing again pic.twitter.com/aSCIMlym72— Government Gypsy (@GovGypsy) August 21, 2018 13 / 15 I'm over it. I've been so confused all night lol #VMAs pic.twitter.com/lhzBEBz2hw— Roy'l (@bindoniam) August 21, 2018 14 / 15 I was highly disappointed with the #VMAs this year! 🤷🏽♀️ I was definitely confused most of the night. pic.twitter.com/1IWsOYecwT— Roy'l (@bindoniam) August 21, 2018 15 / 15 Award SeasonTwitter ReactionsMTV VMAs
