14. Jon and Kate Gosselin's Marriage: How did such a seemingly solid union disintegrate before our very eyes? Oh, right—she's a nagging shrew and he's a terminal adolescent.
13. Actual Singers: When Milli Vanilli were busted for lip-synching in 1990, they were shunned and had to give their Grammy back. Nineteen years later, faking it onstage is an accepted and even expected practice. And with autotune, modern-day warblers proudly flaunt their incompetence
12. Decent Simpsons Episodes: Back in the day, when we wore onions on our belts—as was the style at the time—we could always expect Homer and his brood to bring the LOLs. Then they decided they'd rather have celebrity cameos than jokes. D'oh!
11. Your 401(k): Bye-bye, secure future. Hello, Wal-Mart greeter job. That blue vest is gonna look sweet on us.
10. Beepers: Once the preferred communication method for professionals in the field and drug dealers on the go. Hey, carrier pigeons seemed pretty handy at one time too.
09. Print media: Guess we'll just have to get used to reading toothpaste ingredients when we're in the john now.
08. Scripted television: Because who needs skillfully crafted plots and dialog, when you have Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag?
07. Dignity: Did it ever really stand a chance, once eating bugs on Fear Factor became a valid pathway to stardom?
06. Compact Discs: Touted as a virtually music format upon their introduction. Their place on the market? Not so much.
05. The Trucker Hat Trend: After gracing the noggins of the young, rich and fabulous for a number of years, these chapeaus are now thankfully back in their rightful place: Atop the heads of crank-addled hillbillies who cruise for lot lizards in truck stops when they're not haulin' that load, good buddy.
04. Abe Vigoda: Just kidding—he's still alive! How does he do it?
03. Fax machines: They won't be missed—we hated that ear-piercing, screeching noise, anyway.
02. Boy Bands: They once delighted us all with their heartfelt love songs, synchronized dance moves and meticulously-arranged coifs. But somewhere along the line, we decided that we didn't want it that way.
01. Kevin Jonas' Virginity: And not a moment too soon, either; he was starting to turn purple
