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.
