An old analog camera that your dad probably used back in the day. Dad cams are most often second-hand and use record-to-tape formats such as Betamax, VHS-C, 8mm, or MiniDV. Cameras that shoot to digital hard drives or memory cards should not be considered dad cams. The grainy, nostalgic, and perhaps crappy quality of this type of film had a resurgence in popularity from 2015 onward, particularly in r&b and hip-hop music videos. Now, you'll often find dad cam worked into high-budget commercials, movies, television shows, and more.
"Whoa! Is that a 1997 JVC Camcorder? Sick dad cam, my dude!"

"I love how they integrated dad cam into this music video."

"Who needs an 8K cinema camera when you can have dad cam?"

"The dad cam aesthetic is so fire, bruh, no cap!"

I eat my cereal with water because my dad never came back with the milk 

The meaning of the father not bringing back milk is a very sad story. I have no idea why it's called milk, but when a dad breaks up with his family and leaves his partner, he'll say that he's going to the store to buy milk but then he never comes back. Depression spirals. You have a mental breakdown. The phrase 'I eat my cereal with water because my dad never came back with the milk' Is used as a joke or a way to break the news to someone. I'd rather go get my own milk 😤
Person 1: Make me cry
Person 2: I eat my cereal with water because my dad never came back with the milk
Person 1: 😭😭😭😢😥😰😭😓😩😫🤤😭😭😭😭😭😭

your dad never came back with the milk 

Something that means your dad left you and your family to start a new one.
"OMG! Your dad never came back with the milk?"

More from Urban Dictionary
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
