30 Things People Roasted Millennials For Loving In 2023, And It’s Funny Because It’s True
On the internet, we're all fair game, no matter the generation. From Boomers to Zoomers, everyone gets their moment in the spotlight; it's like a never-ending roast session.
Now, it's time for Millennials. Recently, people have been taking jabs at the cohort, listing all the peculiar things they love, so we decided to put together a list of the most accurate observations that hilariously describe the essence of belonging to this avocado-toast-adoring Harry Potter fan club.
Continue scrolling to check out the posts and don't miss the chat we had with a Millennial blogger from the United Kingdom, Tanya Korobka. You'll find it spread in-between the pictures.

Life hacks are not facts you didn't know, that used to be common knowledge and so no one thought to each and just expected people to see and pick up. A life hack is like using yogurt to replace sour cream. Not that the bar on some paper towel holders are to hang them from a shelf, that is it's function that got lost in time
To get a better understanding of the cohort everyone seems love to mock, we got in touch with Tanya Korobka, the woman behind the blog Lucky Attitude, through which she became the voice of Millennials in the UK.
Tanya sees Millennials as pragmatic idealists. "We want to change the world and we know it's not going to be easy, but we're going to have a plan for how to get there," she told Bored Panda. "61% of Millennials are worried about the state of the world and feel personally responsible for making a difference."
"Millennials are nomadic global citizens," the blogger added. "We are the first generation born into a globalized world offering cheaper travel. The nomad, defined as 'an individual with no fixed location who wanders in search of pasture' can represent a cultural ideal for many of our generation."

This is just sad, true, and isn't necessarily a roast, just the product of the previous generations. (Not a millennial)
Kate Koppen 1 year ago
and don't get started on actually sitting down and not being "productive" for a whole 5 minutes.
According to a 2023 Deloitte survey, the high cost of living is the top societal concern for Millennials (42%).
This shouldn't come as a surprise when you consider that 52% of them are living paycheck to paycheck and 37% have taken on a side job to make ends meet.
Economic uncertainty is causing Millennials to postpone big life decisions, for example, starting a family or buying a house, and they believe the situation won't change unless there will be systematic changes implemented.

These things are taking a toll on them, as the same survey discovered that four in ten Millennials feel stressed or anxious all or most of the time.
Because of that, 82% say mental health support and policies are important to them when considering an employer and 53% agree that their employer's focus on the subject has resulted in positive change.
(However, 31% still do not feel comfortable speaking with their manager about their mental health challenges.)

Millennials love giving new names to old things and pretending they are something new. Number sign/hashtag. Tips/hacks.
HTakeover 1 year ago
That's every generation ever and the nature of how language works; fluid. For example, moot used to mean a gathering to discuss something (moot -> meet -> meeting) then became something worth discussing/debating. Now it means the opposite. Nice used to mean silly, wench used to mean female child (and nothing more), myriad used to mean exactly 10,000 of something, flirt used to mean what we now say flick for, etc.

No we don't, but bowls make people happy due to containing a variety of ingredients. Yes, you can buy them cheaper in bulk but a) it takes time to prep them and b) as a single you can't eat all that fast enough.

Tanya Korobka of Lucky Attitude agrees that personal finance is a pressing matter for many Millennials and believes that affordable stable housing (either rented or owned) is arguably the biggest challenge that the generation is facing today.
"It's nearly impossible for common folk to get an affordable home in a bigger city," she said. "The main reason is a steep rise in house prices since the early 2000s compared to stagnating salaries. Why are the prices so disproportionate? Because rich people can afford to buy homes as an investment, which inflates the prices for others as a result."

In the US, for example, in the last decade, the median home price rose roughly 30% and incomes crept up just 11% over the same time period, according to a Bankrate analysis of data from the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index.
Over 50 years, the difference is even more striking. After accounting for inflation, home prices have jumped 118% since 1965, while income has only increased by 15%.

In a few years millennials will mount their TVs in portrait mode so they can watch all their phone videos properly
The jokes we see in the pictures have a lot of truth in them, but plenty of myths about Millennials have been hammered into our heads by the media, too.
"The biggest misconception is that Millennials are irresponsible snowflakes who can't afford a house deposit because they spend too much money on avocado toast and flat whites," Korobka said.

Perhaps you have your centuries off? This was soooo, last century. #prohabitionsucks
"These stereotypes hide the very real structural problems facing the average young person today (inequality, recession, absurdly high home prices, unregulated markets)," Korobka added.
In other words, avocados and coffee aren't the reasons why Millennials can't afford many components of a (traditionally) happy life. But if they help folks get through all the hardship, then perhaps seemingly trivial indulgences aren't so bad?
