Being a millennial—a member of Generation Y—can be a very confusing existence. Older millennials are finding themselves near the top of corporate hierarchies, getting mortgages, and having families. Meanwhile, younger Gen Y’ers are only just now finding their footing. But one thing that they probably have in common is that they’re starting to notice more and more differences between them and the members of other generations.
One Instagram account, accurately titled ‘Young Grumpy Millennials,’ shares some of the most witty and relatable memes about what it’s like to grow up. We’ve collected some of the best ones to show you. So, scroll down for a good dose of humor and a big dollop of existential dread! And remember, Pandas, being grumpy is a choice, not an inevitability.

My friend group finds gender reveals incredibly tacky and weird thank GOD lmao. I’m always happy to congratulate someone if they tell me they’re having a girl or a boy, but I don’t want to have a party to celebrate their genitals.
I do wish some people would get together to celebrate MY genitals.
Load More Replies...Close friends made a gender reveal party, and they had the good taste not to invite me. So we're still friends
I'm so glad they're not a thing where I live. By all means celebrate the birth of a healthy child but celebrating before it arrives is weird, and celebrating the configuration of its genitals is very weird behaviour. I never found out the sex of either of my babies before they arrived, just wanted to know they were healthy. They are both delightful and challenging in their own way, and we love them equally.
I'm not a fan of gender reveal parties either, but my wife wanted one badly. You know what? As long as you don't do anything dumb, any excuse to celebrate when you are carrying a watermelon on your belly is a valid excuse. We ended up doing a giant (one meter) tic tac toe where people flipped individual squares. The reveal took us 2 min, the party went on as long as she was having fun.
my friend group is universally uninterested in having children, so that's another way to solve that issue!
Hah! A (weird) thought just popped into my head. I wonder if anyone ever crashes gender reveal parties for fun the way some folks do weddings. Probably harder due to smaller crowd sizes. But I'm thinking - slide in, eat some refreshments, casually ruin the surprise by letting "slip" to various people that you already know the gender(sex) is (male/female). No need to actually know, you have a 50/50 chance. Fade to the edge and leave as they pop the balloon or whatever.
Is such a weird thing to flex and celebrate. Proper cringe how people do them in increasingly selfish and expensive ways too.
I do the same, I never doll up on a first date. Why set false expectations? If they're the type that like girly women who put a lot of effort in makeup, hair and fashion I'm not their gal.
Prolly not particularly, but what women don't understand is that everything a woman does to be hot is interpreted as camouflage by a lot of men and immediately discounted... if they can see through it. My bet is he figures he immediately saw what he identified as her "true beauty."

Investopedia refers to millennials as ‘digital natives’ because technology has been a core part of their daily lives since they were born. Different researchers can have different interpretations of how to define each generation.
For instance, the Pew Research Center defines millennials as Americans born between 1981 and 1996. (However, some researchers extend Gen Y to encompass the years between 1980 all the way till 2004. But this is less commonly accepted.)
This is so incredibly true. If you’re ever having doubts over whether a new romantic interest like you enough - they don’t, they wouldn’t want to let you doubt them if they did.
I disagree. I actively pushed away people I was in love with. Avoidant attachment style is a thing
Load More Replies...Doesnt work for the clueless amoung us. Had a guy kiss me and i still didnt realise he liked me. I just thought he was being nice because i was having a bad day.
Guy kissed you, and you still didn't know he liked you? Is guys kissing you something that happens often/regularly? I only ask because that would be the only way you would think that that's a normal every day reaction. Kissing is definitely a universal sign that a person is into you. Especially if it's on the lips. I find it very cute that you don't know that. Such innocence is rare. But you know now and hopefully moving forward there won't be any confusion.
Load More Replies...how about for us folks on the spectrum? What do we do
Spectrum dweller here. Just do your thing as politely as you can. If they like you, great. If they don't, then that's what the date is for, to figure out if you like each other. It's a date, not a wedding. 🙂
Load More Replies...Not completely accurate, they might simply be shy, or afraid to lose a friendship by suggesting they would be interested in exploring it. Fear of rejection is a huge thing in the hearts of many.
This may work for women, but I've had several 'missed opportunities' that I only found out about later, when a woman said something along the lines of, "I kept hoping you'd ask me out. How could you not know I liked you? I thought it was obvious." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If she really liked you that much, she could've asked you out.

I’m 5’9” and a half, and the amount of men the exact same height as me (or shorter) that claim to be 6 feet tall…..😂 like guys it’s not the number 6 we’re attracted to, it’s YOU, we can always tell when you’re lying. Nothing wrong with a short king anyways ❤️ one of my best dates was with a guy who was 5’5” and charming as hell.
I am both in possession of a vulva and exactly 6ft in height. Some partners have been taller, some shorter (irrespective of genitalia). I like the shorties, because they are easier to lift, and if I can lean my chin on someone's head, that's pretty fun.
Load More Replies...I honestly don't get why height is even part of the conversation. If you give one s**t whether I am 5'9" or six feet tall I don't want to date you anyway. Maybe worth mentioning if you are 3 feet or 7 feet but if you are 'average' height who cares?
Agreed! I don't get the height thing just because i don't want a step stool to kiss a guy.
Load More Replies...There's a lot of things that people can hide when they're first dating someone. They can hide how much money they have, they can hide how caring or compassionate they are, they can hide how messy they are, or certain beliefs that are quite incompatible with yours all of that can be hidden but you can't hide your height. If you lie to me and tell me you're 6 ft and I meet you and I can tell that you're shorter than me (I'm only 5'8) then The first thing I'm wondering is what else are you lying about? Really really shouldn't lie about something so obvious. And inch, maybe... But anything more than that and I know that you're prone to exaggeration at best, lying at worst. Just don't do it.
When I joined the army in 1979 I was 5'9' 3/4. Now 45 years I shrunk to 5'9'
Lol my husband claimed 5' 10" when we were dating which I knew wasn't true because he's only a couple inches taller than me. Finally after being married for over a decade he admitted he's 5' 8". Lol I know babe. It's clearly ok by me.
Stop crying and get out of the way, I want that Sesame Chicken. 😂

Any parent or grandparent who has any life experience with a wide range of people, and is attentive enough to pay good and constructive attention to the child, always knows—-sometimes even before the child themself knows.
When a friend of mine was ready to come out to her parents, she started out by telling them she was seeing someone new. Her mother's casual response was, "That's nice, what's her name dear?" My friend was flabbergasted, but as you said, she later realized that her parents probably knew even before she did.
Load More Replies...Currently, in terms of pure numbers, Generation Y is the biggest generation in US history. Aside from being technologically proficient, millennials also tend to be more progressive politically and less religious than the members of previous generations.
Furthermore, members of Gen Y tend to want to follow their ambitions while they’re still young. They also have record amounts of student loan debt. Of course, there will always be exceptions between individuals, but these are the general trends for Gen Y.
Well I mean they are the 3 most populous states (Cali 1, TX 2, Fl 3) a combined 25% of the entire US population. Mathematically because of volume, size, etc, they get noticed more

"wow! You've lost so much weight! You look great! You're not gonna lose anymore though, right? Cuz you're getting too skinny!"
Exactly! Was told, "Your butt used to be so nice and round, now it's all gone." Well, I didn't lose weight on purpose, but even if I did, I wouldn't have lost it to satisfy YOUR preferences. So the shape of my butt is not your business either way, and neither is my weight.
Load More Replies...Yes, because it's universally recognised that acknowledging someone's size is rude, and also that it's something only they can do anything about. So once they do something, it naturally follows that it's not rude to compliment them on their efforts.
Except "do something" can mean they are sick, so maybe stay neutral until they tell you how well they are doing.
Load More Replies...I personally find it fine. I know I am fat, I don't need the others bringing me "the news!" And losing weight does make you look more beautiful most of the time, plus it is a recognition of all the effort. What I don't like is that we do not complement fat people when they re being beautiful
My co-worker: You lost SOOOO much weight. Me: Thanks. I hate when you say that, but thanks.
The generation following Generation Y is Generation Z (aka Gen Z, aka ‘Zoomers’), referring to US kids born from 1997 to 2012. Following them is Generation Alpha (aka Gen A), which, broadly speaking, includes Americans born between 2010 and 2025.
There’s always going to be at least some overlap between the members of different generations, not just in terms of birth years but also attitudes, preferences, and the popular culture that they’ll feel nostalgic for in the future.
Convenience store and they are checking their 436 lottery tickets, and using a jar of change
I find self checkouts incredibly easy to navigate - BUT from ages 16-18 I worked as a cashier in a grocery store. I can understand why people who aren’t used to POS systems might get confused. (POS is “point of sale” but it can also mean “piece of shite” in this scenario haha)
I have to admit that I occasionally get confused at the self checkout, but it's because so many of them are just slightly different than the last one I used. Do I tap my card here? Or here? Does the beep mean I'm good? Or do I have to tap it again?
Behind someone at the pharmacy who’s getting 897 prescriptions and has to get advice on each one
Yes! I'm always ready to quickly complete any Rx transaction, so after waiting for that person who has multiple questions, I often tell the person in line behind me that I'll be quick. Yes, I often see a slight look of relief on their face.
Load More Replies...I hate these things. Yesterday I went shopping for a few items, mainly for spending the yearly coupon our "Postcode Lottery" distributes for buying an extra load of vegetables, fruit, soups and other healthy food at one chain. Waiting patiently in line at the one (!?!?) cashiers they left over (I rarely shop there). The rest of that area is a giant self-checkout plaza. Everything is packed, line is long, because of friday afternoon and due to a holiday in Germany, tons of german tourists. So one of the employees there, about roughly less than half my age, approaches me and asks if I would like to use the self check out. Seems as if he thought "ok, boomer age, but doesn't look too 'dumb' to operate modern technology". I told him that I hate these things, and had no interest to discuss with a computer if my coupon barcode was valid, my bonus-app (discount) of that shop was working and to negotiate leaving the plaza with the code on the receipt. So he did it for me....
So you watched, learned, realized the technology works, and next time, you won't have to stand there watching an employee do something for you, you can just as easily (and system intended) do yourself. RIGHT, boomer!?!? ...Or did we simply condition another one of you to stand next to your tech and whine about it until a younger person does it for you? Boomers: "I HATE technology" ...did you post that comment via f*****g smoke signal? Hmmm. Ok.
Load More Replies...The worst part of the self-checkout is that, where I live, you can't buy alcohol there. You have to go through the human checker for that. On weekends, the line for their one or two live checkers is crazy and it's mostly people trying to buy beer.
hi yeah I’m that person in the Walmart self-checkout because my fingers are clumsy as f**k and I drop my wallet
I used to be the key holder for a large office block I worked at. Got called out one night and had to go round the building with the policeman and his very excitable dog. False alarm but the dog needed a "win" so Copper asked me to hide in one of the toilet cubicles and let him find me. Having a very, very excited German Shephard barking and scratching at the door, nearly made me want the toilet for other reasons!
I know this sounds sweet, but doesn't rewarding him reinforce his confusion?
It’s not rewarding confusion, it’s that pizza supersedes training and d**g searches…..I know it does for me.

My mum can be like this sometimes so I did have a giggle as the post is relatable.
In our experience, some ‘older’ Zoomers identify more with millennial culture than they do with their peers. Meanwhile, some younger millennials find that they have more in common with Gen Z than they do with older members of their own generation.
Of course, this isn’t true for everyone. Anecdotally speaking, some millennials are starting to grumble and moan about the younger generations… rather similar to how adults used to complain about millennials when they were growing up, right?
The easiest move I ever had was the one I hired movers for. I swear I’m never moving again unless I have enough money to pay somebody to pack my s**t, move it, and unpack it at the other end. I wanna show up with my toothbrush and be ready to move in
My wife spent 26 years in the army. They moved us 6 times in 20 years. We would pack the high value stuff like the stereo and personal papers. Packed everything, transported and delivered it. Preferred to unpack ourselves, even though they would have.
Load More Replies...If you're over 35 and use "you're" when you mean "your", you've failed basic adult.
If I am to move again I plan on budgeting for movers, 100%. Whether that be legit professionals or my younger cousins and some of their friends who are mid-late 20's to early-mid 30's depends on that budget, honestly but if they are willing to do it for a certain agreed upon amount, then so be it.
I would definitely pay for movers at this point. My ex and my brother are strong, but 38 (I’m 44).

I can pack and unpack, but l'm definitely paying someone to carry it from A to B. My last move was a breeze compared to others

This campaign year has been really sad. In addition to infuriating, frustrating, etc. At first, I found it entertaining, (LOVED the 2019 presidential election reality show, right up until the finale, when it got real). But to watch two people succumb to dementia in front of the entire world is just depressing. I just want to smack the people closest to them and scream at them to take better care of their dads/husbands. It brought back my senior year of high when I got see this happen with my grandma. At least one of these men seems to have family that cares enough to limt his time spent in the spotlight
And at least one of them had the grace and intelligence to step aside.

Some millennials are finding that they have a lot more things in common with Generation X (people born from 1965 to 1980) and baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) now that they’re adults with all of the responsibilities that grown-up life has to offer.
However, some members of Gen Y see that their attitudes continue to be at odds with those of older adults. Who you get along with is going to depend a lot on your background, community, interests, and character.
I suggest a countdown timer for when it gets close to the scheduled end of the meeting. The closer it gets, the larger the timer gets. And flashes in red. :)
A guy I do a lot of meetings with plays the Looney Toons "That's all folks" at the time the meeting is scheduled to end. Works like a charm.

There’s nothing new about different generations not seeing eye to eye. It’s a tale as old as human history, and it’s bound to continue into the future, too. Every generation believes it’s better than the ones that came before and after it. That’s just how things go, whether we’re talking about work attitudes or entertainment preferences.
You can’t experience growing up under different conditions, so it’s easy to dismiss other generations’ preferences outright. However, a bit of empathy and objectivity can help you move past that and realize that you still have more in common with everyone else because you’re all human beings.

Created in late 2018, ‘Young Grumpy Millennials’ has grown its following to 134k dedicated Instagram users over the past 6+ years. Most of the memes shared by the curators of this account are incredibly relatable because they feature thoughts and attitudes that many of us have likely had at some point in time.
These range from the frustrations of adult life (work, chores, parenting, relationships, entertainment, etc.) to the differences between Gen Y and the older and younger generations.
Tomi Lauren is such a deeply ugly person. She might look nice on the outside but everything inside is ugly, ugly, ugly. Hateful racist.
If she looks into her heritage line, she might discover that she is the product of immigrants who went to North America in search for a better life of their kids, and probably contributed in stealing the home land of the Natives. So, following her own demands towards immigrants, she should pack up and leave.
I've stopped getting mad at everyone from Carlson to Ingram to Lauren to Trump. ...they are simply supply meeting demand. Since 2016 we should be eyes wide open about this. These vile figures are not hyperbolized media-made monsters. They are a 100% accurate reflection of their supporters; absolutely f*****g vile.

Load More Replies...i'm a millennial and i get just under $1000/month from the government because i'm disabled. this goes into the household funds (i live with my parents and will forever), and is used (my mom's name is also on my account) alongside my parents' checking account to pay bills, get groceries, fill the car with gas, etc. i don't pay rent, i don't pay for my mediocre health insurance and have no doctor bills, and i try to keep my vices that cost money to one or two very small expenditures each month. i really don't envy other millennials who have to deal with rent and jobs and insurance.
Don't get me started on the United States Healthcare system. It's horrible. And I'm a member of the United States Healthcare system.
If it's in San Francisco, it is greed! My old Apt 10 years ago was $900, that same unit is now $5K per month!
Or perhaps it’s because mortgage rates have increased 300% in the last few years, and utilities have skyrocketed. Repairing and replacing ANYTHING in a home has become very expensive as well, and don’t even get me started on taxes. I’m tired of uninformed people assuming it’s greed.
With exorbitant rents, if you have good credit, just buy a home. That way you'll have something to show after years of paying money. And if you move out of the area, rent your home and you'll have steady income for years.
My mom worked in the Passport office in 2000-01 and rode up in an elevator with the guy. …. The office was out of its mind. She said he was short. I said, but cool.
Are spring rolls really unpredictable? I've personally never made them from scratch.

Anybody who actually understands how crypto works, isn't that excited about it.
OP, have you considered working on 1.5? (No, I'm just joking and OP isn't going to read this anyway.)
I don't think 7.5s have major problems to find connections on the existing dating sides.
I'm in! Can I add: People who are allergic to cats MUST flag this on their profiles.
If I were even a little interested in dating, I'd have to go on an app for "no outstanding warrants"
People tend to be attracted to other people they rate at the same level as themselves, so it's a subjective system.
Dating apps have done a wonderful job of convincing 3's that they're 10's.
My bank actually does that. Fortunately you can opt out. As Tiresias and Jocasta said to Oedipus "There are some things you're better off not knowing."
So does mine. And it continually chastises me for not saving more.
Load More Replies...This is why I use cash for those kinds of transactions. So the number of times I got fast food does not appear on any statements.
Honestly, I would love that--I'm a list person, so this would be one less I'd have to figure out
My checking account actually has a function for that. I can hit "spending" and it will itemize by category: groceries, shopping, auto, home, etc. It's pretty cool.
Lots of credit cards do have this. Maybe mostly if you get it through your bank? I don't know.

Fine but it’s not informative if *everyone* is posing with a fish and you’re not in to fishing - it’s presumably a dating site
Load More Replies...Ya know how ya girls say that they don't care if men don't find it attractive because that little tramp stamp isn't about them? Yeah, guys don't give a rat's a*s if you don't find the fish photo sexy. In fact, I dare say not one of us has ever wondered. But the way OP puts it, now I am sorta wondering why that's so. Talented, skilled, adventurous and fun seems both true and a winning combination... along with attentive, patient, and owns a boat.
Plus, he can provide fish! I personally love guys who fish.
Load More Replies...No man has ever seen a woman with 15cm long purple nails and thought, "She's so gorgeous and has such good taste" so maybe let's stop doing that
Maybe the guy just likes to fish and isn't trying to get into your pants? 🤷♀️
Yeah, because everything that every man does is an attempt to nail YOU specifically.
Ok as a remote small town girl in an area with lots of fishermen, I like seeing a guy with a fish because it means he has hobbies and might bring me a tasty fish.
I can't be the only one who finds a man who fishes interesting. He's patient, quiet and you'll have plenty of time while he's fishing.
My Dad caught two salmon yesterday, total of just under 50 pounds!!! He was proud but exhausted
Or you could just be honest about what floats your boat, so that you will interest people whose boat aligns with yours, no need for subterfuge and showing off?

That's because the people running things call it politics when they do it. But they call it illegal when we do. These people in positions of power have set everything up so they are set and can do whatever they like. While we struggle and are held back if we so much as try and do what they do, let alone call it out. The fact that we have allowed it to go on like this is frightening. Some of us are either being manipulated into fighting each other or to busy killing ourselves to maintain basic needs and we feel completely defeated that we just accept it. It's only going to get worse.

I am gonna try that! On spinach and cilantro and what not.
Load More Replies...Smaller bags/containers of everything!! I'm tired of having to freeze food because I live alone. There are only so many grapes and strawberries I can eat before they go bad. And I hate having to defrost slices of bread when I want a sandwich. I wish there was a store where they sold half portions of everything. That would be awesome.
Why? it allready collaps to nothing as soon as it is near the heat. But year, a lot of room could be saved if they just vacuum packed it from the start.
Just hop in the shower and you can play all the characters to hash the whole thing out.
Load More Replies...Lol. My brother told me he was "talking" to this girl. A few hours later I overhear him on the phone with her telling her "I love you too". I'm like WTF Bro! That's not "talking" to a girl, that's in a committed relationship. He's never been very good at monogamy.
Im talking to a girl and we say i love you, but also we’ve been friends for like 2 years and its normal to say i love you to friends lol… idk if that’s the situation for your brother, but it is for me haha
Load More Replies...Sometimes changing the “story” behind things really helps. Am I a piece of c**p who can’t get out of bed or keep their house clean even though I’m a grown adult? Or am I struggling with my mental health and doing the best I can with what I have? Context is everything and sometimes you gotta give yourself a break.

I mean biologically we can wait until we're 80 to start a family if we want. So it tracks.
Same goes for the ladies. Like I support your dreams, but you might be cutting it a bit close....
I'm pretty sure my parents drove away with the top down and music blasting when they dropped me off at college for the first time. ;) I was the one crying - they were stoked.
You don't. You just unfriend them because you're obviously not interested in their life.
I read it as they're obviously not interested in their life and I like my misread version better.
Load More Replies...That’s complete BS. My friend is dating a dyslexic guy, they text a bit but if she’s going to text a whole paragraph or two telling him about her day and vice versa, they call, just because why not make things easier? He’s an absolute angel too, he adores her and treats her like gold.
This will sound weird if you're a youngster but I love auto correct and google search, both phone sized. And being able to ask Alexa, how do I spell psychology is still a wow moment for me; and I've always been a very early adopter of new technology. When I was a student, I had to carry around a hefty dyslexic dictionary and a regular dictionary both of which were a headache when needing permission to take into exams. And I want to add, I hate editing my posts(most frown on it) but usually if I write something in the heat of the moment without triple checking it, it ends up as gibberish
Load More Replies...I disagree. Also, "Always on their phone" rarely correlates to "always getting the best out of their relationship/life".
I get really busy at work, and it may take me over an hour to text you back. But I've never cheated. I think this may be the dumbest thing I've read.
I imagine there was little debating, just parroting of each other's opinions and "facts" from the Internet. True debate requires listening to and understanding opposing opinions - people rarely tolerate this nowadays.

You can drink "43" with milk. Tastes gorgeous. Yes, it is licor and it is called "43".

If you have any social media profiles at all or use the internet for anything (including BoredPanda or something like a grocery store rewards card), you are findable. Maybe not by the average Jane, but you are definitely findable.
Load More Replies...I had one of these in my favorite apartment my ex lived at. There was this super fit guy named Jason and his bedroom faced the parking lot and i was taking the garbage out at night and walking back i had full view into the bedroom and he starts taking off a robe and was very naked. I was stopped. He put on undies quickly though.
Are kangaroos naked? I mean they have fur coats, some of them even have pockets
Load More Replies...Neither, we all seem to value our privacy in my building. Most of us open our blinds/curtains during the day and then close them in the evening/night. Except for one neighbor who has every single window or slider is covered in her apartment 24/7. So yea we're pretty private considering we are on a dead end road, in residential area surrounded by woods/conservation land.
My nextdoor neighbor has every window covered and most of the lights are on 24 hours a day. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Load More Replies...I'm actually both. About 400 metres away from my house is a naturist campsite with a public footpath that runs past it and that also runs along the back and side of my rear garden. At the end of the footpath is a beach that is very popular with naturists so in the summer there is a steady stream of naked people walking past my garden and kitchen window to and from the campsite and beach. I am not a naturist, but I do sunbathe naked in my garden and I do swim and sunbathe naked on the beach. The couple that live next door to me also like to sunbathe naked and go to the beach naked.
Millenials are so much into the "goid old times" of the 1950s, that they realky should try this: Reduce world population from 8 billion to 2.5 billion, skip any home electronic device beyond a b/w tv and one single round-disc-dial telephone, ditch the computer at work and learn to write by hand - just to name some examples.
Reintroduce systemic racism, sexism, polio, smallpox, and kill your family ten years earlier than currently expected.
Load More Replies...My friend’s boomer mom has been retired for about 25 years, since she was about 50, and still gets $9,000 a month on her pension. She’s told many friend he’s lazy and “not applying himself enough” because he’s struggling to afford to save enough money for a down payment for a house (which is well over $1,000,000 average here) with his $2,000 rent plus $1500s in bills on his $4,000/month salary. She owns her own home, he rents an apartment and does his best to save money, but he wants to live his life too and go out for dinner with friends and travel. It’s so exhausting. There are cool boomers out there but so many don’t get it and think we’re just stupid kids. (He’s 33.)
My mother is pre boomer, retired at 55 on a very nice pension, and her refrain is "I don't know how young people manage these days, I worry for them ". So yes, "not all".

Yeah I agree a meme is more a captioned or inferred image of various sorts. These are social media posts, had the title been accurate I probably would have ignored it.
