Us in Our Late Twenties vs. Our Parents – A Meme Storm

Living in your late 20’s is a pretty crazy time, and it only gets more surreal when you start to realize just how different your life is from the one that your parents probably expected you to have; from the one that they had.

What can you do with the sort of existential dread that stems from such a revelation? I don’t know. Cry. Drink. Make memes?

Yeah, let’s just go ahead and make memes.

10. Bond, financial bond

I’m sorry, you have $60,000 in savings?!

9. The big move

If I never stop jutting around, nobody can catch me.

8. You’re grounded

Best of luck with that, me.

7. Clean up your act

Just gotta plan for when I want my life to get boring.

6. True grit

It’s rough, and it’s course, and it gets everywhere.

5. I gotta be me

Nobody can tell me what to do, not even the person who is the me.

4. Small miracles

This sentence makes my stomach hurt for some reason.

3. Different strokes

These are a few of my favorite things.

2. My accomplishments

Oh no, we’ve achieves full recursion!

1. The music within

It’s gotten like five streams this month on Spotify so I guess you could say it’s all been worth it.

What are we do with these feelings? Beats me. But remember: it’s your life. You can live it however you want.

What’s the biggest difference between you and your parents?

Your Parents’ Early Twenties Were VERY Different From Yours

For a lot of folks, our early 20’s are a fun and wild time, but perhaps nothing is more wild than just how different an experience that period was for our parents. You listen to them tell their stories and you start doing a little math in your head and at some point you realize “Holy crap. They were doing full-on grown up things at my age and I’m about to rewatch Tiger King for the fourth time.”

Anyway, these memes are about that very specific feeling.

10. Marriage plans

Can’t get involved with relationships, I’m too busy with my existential crisis.

9. Pobody’s nerfect

Nobody nobody nobody, nobody nobody? Nobody.

8. That’s my girl

Guess we’ll find out what kind of ride we’re goin’ on!

7. Vibe check

There’s a monster inside you, and you need to get it under control.

6. Are you feeling it now?

We have very different cultural landmarks and that’s ok.

5. I choose you

You always remember your first.

4. All mine

We must devote ourselves to our passions, whatever they may be.

3. Eat me up

I’m going to need some kind of nourishment for my soul.

2. Fry me to the moon

This is it, this was the goal all along.

1. On the side

These are the defining moments.

Honestly, I’m glad I wasn’t married at age 22 like my parents were. Who needs that kinda headache? There’s Pokemon to be caught.

Let’s Take a Look at the Existential Crisis of Being a Millennial 29 Year Old

For anyone who hasn’t experienced it in life yet, it’s hard to convey just how weird it is being 29. You know that you’re at the end of your 20’s, and thus coming to the close of the part of your life where anyone is likely to refer to you as “young.”

This makes you start reevaluating absolutely everything, including just how different your life is from that which your parents had when they were at this juncture.

As always, memes express it best. Here are the questions you may find yourself asking…

10. What’s for dinner?

I feel called out as I specifically wrote a review about this recently.

9. Is it the right time?

These things are sensitive and need to be handled correctly.

8. Can I go out?

Why would you even want to, though?

7. Why tho?

Maybe some things are better left in the past.

6. Will I be next?

It’s the closest thing to a vacation many of us could even hope for.

5. Can we chat?

An example of a positive generational shift.

4. Who’s a good kitty?

I don’t care what they say, he’s my baby.

3. Have I watered them today?

It’s especially devastating when you fail even at this.

2. Can I afford it?

I guess I could have done this at home, but my wood isn’t as nice.

1. Can we hang?

Oh boy oh gee I hope he lets me live slightly.

Best of luck to all my fellow millennials out there. You’re gonna need it.

Times When People Had Serious Questions About Millennials That Turned Out to Be Jokes in Disguise

Millennials…prepare to get dragged all over the place, because 12 people decided that today was the day to ask you serious questions that weren’t so serious.

You know the drill. They tweet. They funny. You don’t respond. We all laugh. Repeat.

Thank you to this site for bringing all these together, and thanks to us for going through them and finding the best.

You’re welcome, internet

1. Eggplants just doing eggplants things

I’m endlessly amused by what emojis mean.

2. Because they can!

It’s all meta, all the time!

3. Chef’s kiss!

You can eat it AND drink it. Win win!

4. A true rite of passage.

I deleted it, btw. Because reasons.

5. Is it their 6th or 16th?

Seems like MOST of the people on TikTok are drunk.

6. I can’t even with this

I use adjectives in place of verbs. So there!

7. Yes, it looks distressed! It doesn’t want to be that way!

Shabby indeed!

8. 80s kids and 70s kids are so much cooler.

We’re colder because we’re older and old people get colder faster.

9. Why do so many of them have back problems?

Maybe because they have drinking problems? Hmmm…

10. This tweet is wrong.

GIFs are hilarious and DO NOT pronounce that word with a J.

11. Well, I don’t blame them.

This is their fight son.

12. Isn’t it?

Buzzfeed, you keep on feeding us that buzz.

In all the history of all the tweets… these were among the finest. Don’t you agree?

I’m really asking a rhetorical question there, but you can feel free to respond if you want. I won’t judge. Much.

See ya soon!

Gen Z-ers Are Making Fun of Millennials on TikTok

It just seems to be a fact of life: There will always be feuds between different generations.

Typically, those fights are between older generations, who look down upon or criticize younger generations (see also: Baby Boomers and literally every other younger generation).

But now, Gen Z-ers are getting in on the action and throwing some major shade at Millennials. And of course they’re doing it on TikTok, the most Gen Z platform ever made.

According to researchers, Millennials are people who were born between the years 1981 and 1996. Gen Z, on the other hand, are people born between 1997 and 2012. They grew up in very, very different times, especially as it relates to technology.

It all started with this video from user @wholesam:

@wholesam

Stop bullying millennials! They’re pretty cool

♬ original sound – undergroundish

He made fun of Millennials for using the word “adulting” and for taking coffee breaks. Other people quickly piled on, however.

They took serious issue with Millennial’s love of “Harry Potter:”

inspired by @wholesam

They also apparently think Millennials use the word “doggo” too much:

@kavyewest

finally able to jump on the #millennial hate trend 😍 so happy to be here #fyp @wholesam

♬ Miley acting up – illumitatiana

However, at least one person pointed out that Gen Z threw a hissy fit when Millennials started using TikTok — so I guess this feud goes both ways after all!

@mortgagesareboring

The circle of life #millennial #over30 #millennials

♬ Majesty – Instrumental Mix – Apashe

Dang, what else will Gen Z-ers take issue with next? Avocado toast? Student loan debt? Living with your parents? Lack of work ethic? Now they’re starting to sound just like the Boomers. You can hardly tell them apart!

Do you agree with the Gen Z assessment of Millennials? Will we ever live to see a time when generations don’t fight with each other?

We’d love to hear your opinions!

A Text Exchange Between a Mom and Son Shows That Kids Will Never Understand Life Before the Internet

Remember what it was like…?

Even those of us who did grow up without the internet stop and marvel from time to time about how easy everything is now and wonder aloud how we managed before things became so convenient.

That said, we do remember what it was like – and we know that everything worked just fine. We all survived, and we’re (somewhat) functional adults.

I have permission from the mom in the texts to repost this with her son's name blacked out. One of the funniest things I…

It can be striking to realize that there are now whole generations behind us who literally have zero concept of how they would accomplish everyday things without the help of email, texts, Blackboard, and the like.

Which is exactly how I felt reading this conversation between a woman and her college-aged son, who struggles to compute how on earth anyone navigated higher education twenty years ago.

The woman who posted the text conversation is a family friend, Barbara Noble Sobel, who called the screenshots “one of the funniest things I’ve read in a while.”

It started with the question “how did any of college work before email?” and snowballed from there.

They eventually got to discussing how she landed her first job, and he wanted to know how they “linked” to more information.

And also lamented having to actually speak to someone to get a job.

Bless his heart.

But also, word.

There are definitely some things that are better about the way things work now. Especially for introverts.
