Behold, hipsters in their natural habitat! Mating season is upon us which means that the hipster must reach peak irony levels in order to attract a mate. This objective can be achieved by completing totally mundane tasks with the most gratuitous of gestures, or by offering potential suitors a slice of free-range vegan avocado toast. Let's scroll down to examine the specimens more closely.

Many of us Millennials will think back to the '90s as the superior decade that can never be beat. We were the kids that got to experience '90s boy bands, Tamagotchis, and the rise of the internet. However, we don't always stop and think about all the annoying sh*t that we had to deal with on a regular basis, much of it technology-related. These memes and pics highlight those struggles that we'll never have to deal with again! (And thank God for that.)

Generation Y gets a lot of sh*t constantly for supposedly being lazy, entitled and easily offended. Are these things actually true? The answer to that is of course subjective, but if you're a Millennial then you'll know that stereotypes about us tend to be a bit (or a lot) overplayed, and these tweets make light of that.

Regardless of what you think of the Millennial generation, we can all probably agree that the stereotypes surrounding them are pretty damn hilarious. These tweets poke fun at Generation Y's need for safe spaces, their obsession with avocado toast, and their addiction to technology. Now if only they'd quit demanding affordable healthcare - the horror!

A quick warning: if you're a Millennialthen scrolling through the following will probably make you feel really old and sad. Believe it or not, kids today (AKA Generation Z) will never understand the struggles of dial-up internet, or fangirling the crap over the Backstreet Boys. If you're not feeling old yet, then don't worry because it's only a matter of time!

Put down that avocado toast and get a job, ya damn hippies!

Generation Z, AKA those born between approximately 2000 and 2020, is known for their usage of the word "yeet" and their tendency to eat Tide Pods. We old Millennials might not fully understand you, but we respect you, and that's all that matters.

Only '90s kids will have any clue what these memes are about!

In today's installment of Millennials are Ruining Everything Good in the World, we're looking at Generation Y's impact on the workforce. You're probably aware of what ghosting is by now, but in case you're a fortunate soul who isn't, it's the dating trend of completely vanishing on someone you were seeing without giving them a proper breakup or explanation in order to avoid confrontation. If you haven't experienced being ghosted before, then you can't possibly know how horrible it feels. 

Well, as it turns out, according to several news sources Millennials are bringing this practice to the working world by not showing to interviews, not showing up to the first day of work, or quitting without notice. Millennials are fighting back against this assertion on Twitter, and you can read on below to see what they're saying about it.

What do you think about "ghosting" in the workplace? Is it completely fair? Or should employees start being more polite with regard to departure from their employers? Let us know!

Bloomberg posted an article speculating as to why Millennials aren't having more kids. The article comes up with several potential factors, but Millennials are responding on Twitter with their own reasons that are both hilarious and all too familiar.
