Okay first of all obligatory "generational labels are bullshit" disclaimer.

But I just noticed a lot of humour made by millennials as adults is very "cutesy" and "dad joke".

If anyone grew up in the 90s or 2000s, you know that we were the total opposite as kids. Seriously it wasn't long ago where the hight of our humour was homophobia and jokes about SA. We were the fucking horrible edgelord generation.

How did we go from being kids that would beat each other up for even looking at the colour pink, to the heckin' wholesome cat video generation?

Honestly I know we make fun of ourselves for the "HECKING POGGER PUPPERINO" shit, but honestly, it's a step up from the edgelord shit we grew up with.

This is, of course, ignoring that a lot of us didn't grow out of it and became your Ben Shapiro's and your Steven Crowders (I am so sorry Zoomers, we failed you hard)

Millennials be like “today i will dye my hair blue before starting my first class of Social Justice 101 at Woke University because I am 18 and just graduated high school in 2021”

Boomers are going to start calling Gen alpha millennials when they turn 18 I swear.

lol i thought they would've caught up by now, but a few months ago my econ 101 professor complained about young people's work ethic and called us all "millennials" like three different times. someone said we're gen z and he just went "same thing"
