Are You Sure You’re Not Guilty of the ‘Millennial Pause’? (theatlantic.com)

The ageism of this article aside; TikTok is 98% spam and 2% authentic interesting content. It's also not hard to rehearse videos multiple times over and upload them to the platform, mistake-free. Same with Instagram. Every photo on there is cherry-picked from someone's camera roll which contains countless B-Side photos, and only the best surface to the platform. Browsing Instagram is like ingesting cream instead of milk.

> But that kind of mockery [of Boomers] is different. Although Boomers fell out of the internet zeitgeist, they never had as far to fall as Millennials—the first cohort to watch their youth fade in real time, with evidence of their growing irrelevance meticulously documented in memes, trends, and headlines published on the very internet they once reigned over.

This kind of sums up the whole thing for me.

I found the over use of the word cringe in the article, to quote, “cringey.”

I guess going forward all of that super annoying Buzzfeed-speak is now going to be associated with "millennial." Well, whatever.
