"Less hair, more gay"

We all love a good Twitter hashtag (seriously, the #DrummondPuddle was our life for a short while) but we have to admit that one of the latest trends has seriously made us cringe. The hashtag #2006vs2016 has been trending overnight and as a result some of our favourite creators have been taking part.

The concept is simple- share a photo of 2006 you and then one of 2016 you- essentially a perfect chance to show off the glo-up.

But OMG 2006 us was awkward. Thankfully YouTubers plucked up the courage to share their Myspace-era selfies for us to laugh at and thank the world we learned how to use concealer and apply eyeliner correctly.

Here's a round-up of some of our favourites.
