We love an innocent hashtag game as much as the next bored internet user, but @Radstags had us feeling all kinds of weird with their latest roundup. The account, which is pretty much dedicated to such games, asked millennials to share their retirement plans on Twitter and the results were anything but wholesome. They range from pretty self-aware self-owns to the incredibly sobering reality that many millennials will be in debt until they day they die.

We know that Millennials aren't all entitled cheapskates (we are Millennials after all) but we have to say that people like British YouTuber Elle Darby make us look really bad.
Darby requested via email a free five-night stay for her and her boyfriend at a hotel in Ireland. Instead of paying the hotel, she would give the business "exposure" - the hotel owner was certainly having none of that and replied to her with a snarky email, which he has since published online. He even went on to ban all social media influencers from his places of business.
Do you think the hotel owner's response was fair or did it go too far? Let us know in the comments!

Let us just say that it seems pretty damn on-point with what problem actually happened.
It's a tradition that the older generations have to hate on the younger generations for absolutely any reason they can think of. Doesn't matter what for, because it was just "better back in the day," in their logic.
Self-described "recovering academic" Jenny Bann pulled up some hilariously enlightening historical records of the behavioral problems exhibited by 18th century male students in Scotland.
Let's just say they're...less than wholesome and make Millennials look angelic in comparison.
There are some things in this world that are just meant to go together: peanut butter and jelly, chips and salsa, and perhaps the most iconic: Millennials and avocado toast. Or maybe Millennials and participation trophies, or Millennials and entitlement. Either way, in honor of National Avocado Day we felt it would be appropriate to bring you some Millennial and avocado-related memes for the occasion!
We've found the mother of all bizarre dank memes, you guys. Like, we don't really even know where to start with how WTF this trending meme is, but we do know that it's been used to rightfully roast Nestle, among other things.
Millennials and their weird-ass humor - we'll never understand.
Well apparently Millennials are now killing the ...shuffles cards... procreation industry! According to an angry mom on Facebook, anyway, who posted about how much she hates entitled Millennials who dare to go to Disney World without kids! The horror.
New York Post later followed suit when they published an article titled, "Sorry, Childless Millennials Going to Disney World is Weird." Was the article posted mainly rile up a bunch of pissed-off Millennials? Probably, but at the same time it clearly worked!
Us Millennials kind of got the short end of the stick in life. We inherited a ruined economy, most of us are in a crap-load of student debt, and then to round it all out our Baby Boomer parents like to blame us for being "lazy" and "entitled." Not an entirely fair accusation coming from a generation that makes us work for free in exchange for "exposure."
Anyway, enjoy these memes that might make you feel a little more understood as a member of Generation Y.
This cringey millennial couple is a reminder that we could all stand to be a little more present. Our doomed lovers became immortalized on @tattoosandbones Twitter account when he overheard a bloodcurdling scream from the apartment across from his. Turns out he had dropped his phone in a very unclean toilet. Things really devolve from there. Buckle up, it's a wild ride.
The war between Millennials and Baby Boomers has never been more pronounced! Twitter user @manhattanna tweeted earlier this week about a Facebook group in which Millennials communicate solely in Baby-Boomer lingo and let us just say, we're HERE. FOR. IT. The group hits way too close to home for literally anyone who's friends with a Baby Boomer on Facebook.
So without further ado, please enjoy a plethora of Minions, death announcements, and wildly inappropriately placed emojis!
The Twitter trend #MillennialAwardCategories plays off of those tried-and-true stereotypes about Millennials that we're all very well aware of. You know, like our tendency to be triggered over absolutely everything and our affinity for participation trophies. As is such, Twitter began creating memes dedicated to making up hypothetical award categories that reinforce those amusing stereotypes that we all know and...love.
We're still not sure what "yeet" means, but there is absolutely no doubt in our minds that these people and brands really missed the mark with these sad attempts at seeming relevant. Culled from the depths of r/fellowkids, these images are proof that sometimes it's really best to not try at all.
