“I’m gae”
Yep, checks out.
I guess this is supposed to be an exaggeration? Actually it is painfully accurate and not only with kids in the sense of "10 year old".

It was in the year 2014 when I was to meet a younger acquaintance (very young adult at the time) after school. I sat there reading a book waiting for her. The young people came out of the school building, some started talking to each other.
A boy asked a girl: "Can I have your phone for a minute? I want to check […] on the internet."
The girl took her phone out, turned on the display and gasped. "NO!!" she screamed at him, "You can't have it! The battery is low!"
Boy: "It takes only a few seconds."
Girl: "No! No! No! The battery is low! I have to listen to music! I want music in the bus. My battery is almost empty! You can't have it! I HAVE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC!"
Believe it or not: True story. I just couldn't stop facepalming. As if she would have to stop breathing once the stupid phone shuts down on low battery.
I've seen this happen in the 90s with Walkmen.Girl: "No! No! No! The battery is low! I have to listen to music! I want music in the bus. My battery is almost empty! You can't have it! I HAVE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC!"

Less malding, more funny.I've seen this happen in the 90s with Walkmen.
(For all you youngins out there, a "Walkman" was a portable music player that read storage media called "cassettes".)
(It was like an MP3 player but worse.)
Anyway, I've seen fistfights break out over people draining other people's batteries.

Whichever boomer made this meme chose a too recent decade as an example of "glory days", because kids in the 90s were more like "I spent 500 hours trying to get the swimsuit ending to Super Metroid / mom didn't want to drive me to Hot Topic so now I'm gonna mope about it, grunge gets me".
hm, looking into this, i have reason to believe that this is inside of a Publix. There are multiple aisles and there's a Publix with boar's head brand sandwich stuff near me
Oh hey, I remember them:apperently their employees at one location have a... history, to say the least, of doing this
