Just A Few Tweets To Suggest We May Want To Start Cutting Millennials Some Slack
Take some time from working three jobs and still not making a livable wage to enjoy some tweets about our generation.
Millennials have been the punchline for years, from avocado toast jokes to the tired claim that they ruined the housing market. The reality is a lot messier, and these tweets lean hard into that gap between the stereotype and everyday life.
In this roundup, the jokes land on work, money, customer service, and the strange expectations older generations still seem to have. It is all familiar, a little petty, and very online.
Here are the tweets making the case for cutting millennials some slack.
