That’s big talk from the generation that unironically said “RAWR :3” to each other.
I was there.
Livejournal? Emo? “Lol I’m so Random”? Leet speak?? And we took it SO seriously. Peak “No mom it’s not a phase”.
We were criiiiiiinge.
I just remembered that brief trend where teenage boys were wetting their pants in order to look more vulnerable and soft, took selfies of themselves looking vaguely ashamed with a giant wet spot, and a lot of girls really seemed to like it??
And even if you weren’t peak emo, Elder Millennials were wearing flannel and pretending to be just as jaded as Kurt Cobain because they were sad no one was playing POGs anymore, while Younger Millennials had skunk hair and that “greasy sk8r” look.
So what if Zoomers are embracing “Coastal Grandma” looks and TikTok dances? We can’t really point fingers.
