millennials

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. 

"Notorious virgin" (his words, not ours) and Twitter user LxDx asked the internet what they even did before the existence of memes, digging up a whole lot of nostalgia for those who weren't totally raised by the internet. We may be a little biased, but we think memes have definitely improved the quality of the internet by tenfold. 

We'd like to know what you did before memes! Let us know in the comments!

Labor Day is almost here, and you know what that means...working overtime if you're a customer service employee! No matter if you're a bartender, waiter, barista or retail worker, you know the struggle of working extra hard on a holiday where you're supposed to be relaxing. The grind is REAL, friends.

Here are some memes and tweets for if you're not too smart, but not too dumb. If you're not terminally bored, but not very busy. If your tastes are somewhat discerning but not snobby. These memes are for the everyman.

Oh look, Millennials are back at it ruining everything! A new survey conducted by Porch and tweeted out by Now This News claims that Millennials might be the worst generation at cooking ever, and that nearly 40% don't even know what a butter knife is. Additionally, only about 40% know how to carve a turkey. The horror.

Porch surveyed 750 people of all ages, asking them if they considered themselves to be "good cooks" - just over 60% of Millennials answered yes, while well over 70% of Baby Boomers said the same.   

Many on Twitter have pointed out that the reasoning and methods used by the surveyors is heavily flawed - it's almost like hating on Millennials is all just a big marketing ploy to distract us from real problems! Lol nah, that can't be it...

"I'm This Old" is a brand new Twitter meme that really has people confronted with their age, and that's the scariest thought of all. 

If you remember all or most of these things then you're likely a sad Millennial who's feeling a little panicked yourself about getting older (we're totally not projecting here or anything...). Worry not, because you're not the only one going through the harrowing process of feeling like you don't fit in with the kids anymore. Pretty soon you're going to look at a group of 20-year-olds and be tempted to say "how do you do, fellow kids?"

Have you ever eaten a delicious but "nonessential" piece of avocado toast and then suddenly couldn't afford to buy a house? Same. 

USA Today Tweeted on Tuesday that the average American adult spends too much money on "nonessential items" including takeout food and "impulse purchases," and that such expenses can rack up nearly $18,000 per year in unnecessary expenses. 

Obviously, the tweet angered a lot of people and has inspired a bunch of hilarious roasts by angry Millennials, which you can read below.

British Sky News anchor Jayne Secker has come under fire for her patronizing comments yesterday in an interview with Kirsty Archer, a young politician who stated that the cost of living in London is far too high for many people, and that getting evicted from a rental home could cost a tenant £2,000.

Secker, who is a landlord herself, countered Archer's comments by claiming that it's the young renters who are at fault here because they do not have the "basic skills" (including changing a light bulb and knowing how to turn on their heaters) to rent homes.

Secker later issued an "apology" tweet for her comments, which some are calling out for being a non-apology. You can watch the Sky News video and read some of Twitter's reactions to it below!
