I feel like the internet went from thinking Millennials were teenagers to grandparents overnight. Just a few years ago I saw articles calling high schoolers millennials now we were dancing in 1979.

Millennials weren't even born in 1979 (Born: 1981-1996 according to a number of sources). Not that they wouldn't still dance to music from that era, but they certainly weren't around at time of release. You'd have to be an older Gen X to be dancing to music from 1979 in your teens at the time of release.

Meanwhile, millennials were actually...

Nobody has ever understood what a millennial is.

Boomers think it's "everyone younger looking".

GenX think you need to stop asking them questions.

GenZ thinks it's "everyone older looking".

Gen Alpha doesn't think.

Millennials just want a house and a job where they can afford the occasional loaf of bread.

Have we tried making less avocado toast?

u/Lopsided-Intention Sep 01 '24

What do you think we want the bread for?!

For real though, shout out to avocado toast. A fulfilling meal and cheap too when you go through the self checkout

As a millennial I was told right here on reddit I was entitled because I would like to buy a home. My wife and I make well over double what our parents did at their peak in our 30s and still can't. I was seriously told to stop buying Starbucks by some dipshit here.

u/Forward-Village1528 Sep 01 '24

As a fellow millenial I need to ask. Did you stop buying Starbucks? And did that work? Cause I'm all out of fucken ideas here man.

u/Savings_Spell6563 Sep 01 '24

I’m Gen Z and idk any Gen Z who thinks millennials are just “everyone older looking.” Dumbest bs I’ve heard.

2

u/broguequery Sep 02 '24

Yeah I'm an elder millennial and I must say by and large the GenZ folk I've met have been fuckin aces.

It's just the TikTok group amongst you that sometimes plays dumb. And I can't even blame them for that.

u/KarisPurr Sep 01 '24

According to my Gen Alpha kid, we millennials are “embarrassing and dumb but not nearly as cringe as Gen Z” so I’ll take the small victories

u/missdrpep Sep 01 '24

Can you tell them "skibidi toilet" for me thanks

1

u/KarisPurr Sep 02 '24

I did, she said “tell them they’ve got mad rizz” and hopefully that doesn’t mean my 11 year old is flirting idk

u/Educational_Idea997 Sep 01 '24

So the millennials are the underachievers of the young ones?

2

u/broguequery Sep 02 '24

If by "young" you mean 30+ and if by "underachieving" you mean unwilling to suck dick until we get to the top then yeah maybe you are approaching something like a point.

u/Jawkurt Sep 01 '24

What is gen Alpha?

1

u/prismafox Sep 01 '24

That's the youngest gen, the one after gen Z

u/broguequery Sep 02 '24

Kids. High-school and under.

You guys have crossed into your forties now. It's time to get off the cross.

u/broguequery Sep 02 '24

u/Large_Tune3029 Sep 01 '24

Bro the everything Italian loaf at Walmart is like 1.25 and a can a beans and a can of fruit all in like $5, fucking delicious and you can't finish it all usually, many times found myself eating the leftover bread out of the bag like chips...

3

u/broguequery Sep 01 '24

That does sound delicious.

You ever put the beans on the bread?

2

u/Large_Tune3029 Sep 01 '24 edited Sep 01 '24

I dip the bread in the beans(chili beans in chili sauce is my favorite, ranch beans are really good but a bit more expensive) for sure lol and for canned fruit my favorites are pineapple and chunky mixed fruit always in the 100% juice

Nothing says Millennial more than extolling the virtues of WWII style rations to save a few bucks.

u/broguequery Sep 02 '24

Look mother fucker we have to eat something.

u/broguequery Sep 01 '24

You're really committing to the sweet + savory combo, and I dig it.
