Humorous Tweets That Make Millennials Look Pretty Good For A Change
The idea that millennials repeatedly get the short end of the stick is not a new concept.
Millennials have spent years being the punchline, blamed for everything from ruined industries to bad habits they did not invent. Yet the jokes keep landing, and somehow they keep making the case that they are not the problem, or at least not the only one.
This roundup pulls together a string of funny tweets that poke at millennial life, from money stress to cultural quirks to the weird little rituals that define a generation. The humor works because it is familiar, a little self-aware, and just sharp enough to sting.
Here are the tweets that make millennials look pretty good for a change.
1. So many.
It wasn't advancements in forensics; it was the idea that people were entitled to your time because you let them be, and millennials said, "Eff that."
Abid_ism2. A millionaire??
Yup, according to Daniel Pink, a bestselling author and business thinker:
"The Pet Rock phenomenon in the 1970s exemplifies how simple ideas can lead to extraordinary success. Gary Dahl's innovative marketing strategy turned a mundane object into a cultural icon." The Mexican beach stones cost a penny a piece and were packaged in a cardboard box (with air holes cut out), placed in a straw nest, and sold for $3.95. Dahl, the Pet Rock's inventor, became an overnight millionaire, reportedly selling 100,000 Pet Rocks a day and making 95 cents profit on each rock he sold, as noted by Gretchen Rubin, a happiness researcher.

5. A true crime.
If you live anywhere with a bunch of older houses being renovated and sold as the boomers retire, then you'll find out very quickly (unfortunately) just how true this is.

6. Sacred Cultural Institution

Millennials really do turn nostalgia into a personality trait.
This is similar to refusing to lend money to an entitled mother-in-law chasing a get-rich-quick scheme.
7. Bless Mara Wilson
She's the gift that keeps on giving.

Who, exactly, is so entitled?

9. True, though.
Someone's got to intervene.

Some of these hit because they are painfully accurate.

The younger the generation, the more giving they seem to be.

11. Damnit, Janet.
Another harsh truth?
