The Brief: Twitter users are dragging Millennials and their lifestyle choices using the hashtag #MillennialAwardCategories.
DEEP DIVE
Twitter users, more than just about anyone, understand that there’s usually something new to complain about online everyday. More often than not, Millennials are the root of those complaints. From Baby Boomers to Gen Zers, it seems like just about every generation enjoys roasting those born in the 80’s and early 90’s, also known as Gen Y. Many memes have dragged Millennials for their tendency to “ruin” classics like breakfast cereal and business attire, and this new set of Twitter memes is no exception.
People have been using the hashtag #MillennialAwardCategories on TwitterΒ to speculate about the hypothetical awards Millennials could win.

Rather than talk through their problems, Millennials tend to emote how they’re feeling. The clapback emoji is a definite fave.
