Yahoo! Messenger shut down in 2018
MSN Messenger discontinued in 2013
AIM Messenger discontinued in 2017

ICQ was really the last of them and it's ending quite an era. This is, officially, the end of the Messengers.

I can almost breath the same as young me getting home, throwing my bag in my bed and jumping to the family PC in the living room to chat with friends. Man, I never thought I'd miss the 00's. Why'd I wanna grow up?
