Because , obviously , we ’re the " old " one now .
Millennials, you already know we’re no longer considered the “younger generation.” For quite a while now, Gen Z’ers have been dominating social media and setting all the coolest trends.
So, millennials, I know it’s hard, but it’s time to have the conversation: When was the exact moment you realized you weren’t “young” anymore?
Like, maybe it was when you found that once-huge trends likeskinny jeans and side partswere now considered out of style.
Perhaps you work with students, have kids, or have younger siblings and have heard the latest internet lingo, and you realized you had no idea what they even mean.
Maybe it was when you discovered that younger generations now consider millennial names like Ashley or Amanda to be"old people names."
Perhaps it was a major life event in adulthood — like working at the same job for a number of years or buying your first house — that made you think, “Whoa, I’m starting to feel old.”
Maybe it was when you realized that some of your favorite celebs, movies, or TV shows from childhood are wayyy older than you thought — like, did you know thatHannah Montanapremiered 18 years ago now?!
Or perhaps it was when you heard that some younger generationscall the 2000s “vintage"and have no idea what a VCR is, and it made you realize that times have changed!
Because, apparently, we’re the “old” ones now.
