Parents are the greatest — they're there for support, unconditional love and, of course, knocking you down a peg if you need it.

New Yorker Emily Musson and her boyfriend apparently took so many selfies (in somewhat ridiculous poses) that Emily's parents felt compelled to recreate them in a most hilarious fashion.

The original selfies featured Emily and her boyfriend posing with pouty lips and chin-shelves.

So Emily's parents used the pics as inspiration for their own heavily-posed photo series.

Turns out, nothing seems quite as hip when you find your parents doing it.

Emily shared the side-by-side photos, tweeting "My parents r actually on drugs or something."

Nah, Emily. They're just high on life! Er, your life, that is.

The tweet has since gone viral, and Emily's parents are apparently quite pleased with their own success. Emily's mother Nancy even sent out this amazing tweet:

For my children who always thought I was boring,embarrassing,or dorky,I am Trending!!! Get over yourself. Hoo ya! @emilymusson #momsarecool— Nancy Musson (@nancymusson) September 11, 2015
