If you've ever felt personally attacked by a meme about iced coffee addiction or felt the urge to organize your entire life with label makers, this one's for you. Between our collective obsession with avocado toast (which we'll defend until death) and our inability to pass up anything that promises to make us look effortlessly put together, these 21 finds tap directly into the millennial psyche. Each item validates our generation's entirely reasonable need to make everything in life both aesthetic and slightly overpriced.
Look, we know we're easy targets. Yes, we'll spend half a paycheck on a Dyson Airwrap while eating ramen for dinner. Sure, we've turned everything bagel seasoning into a personality trait and transformed our beds into Squishmallow sanctuaries. But at least we're saving the turtles with our extensive collection of metal straws and tote bags covered in ironic sayings. From laminated eyebrows that give us main character energy to eco-friendly alternatives that ease our climate anxiety, these trends aren't just purchases – they're cultural markers of a generation that learned to cope with chaos through careful curation and overpriced self-care.

Just looked it up: the McCormick 20 oz container is not only a way better value, but a better blend - with it, garlic is first, whereas this blend has garlic as something like fourth or fifth in the ingredients. Then again, I'm only a dirty Xennial, so I guess I shouldn't even be reading this list! /s 😁

So fun." - NR

Review: "First time ever buying AirPods and I love them. I have tiny ears but the fit was perfect. I can walk around and do chores in the house without having for of them falling off. Connecting them was a breeze. I have yet to see how long the battery last as I plan to use them everyday to listen to music. The Spatial Audio is was captivated me the most as I feel as if in at a concert at the comfort of my home. I love how tiny the case is as compared to other models that they can fit in my pocket. Although I will definitely recommend buying a case as the case is very sensitive to scratches." - Ranchosponch

I'm GenX. I listen to podcasts, et al, through my BT headband. It helps me sleep. This is not new. I used to listen to music and records when I was a kid in the 90's to fall asleep. In the 80's, I'd listen to Dr. Demento or just KQ to fall asleep. People like noise to help them sleep. If there's no noise, I cannot sleep. I need traffic, rain, storms, radio, music, conversation, anything so I can turn off. Don't blame kids for listening to noise. We all like noise. My grandma was born in 1914. She couldn't sleep without the radio or the record player. My grandpa fell asleep to the TV. He was born in 1917, People like distraction. Even a crackling fire is enough to fall asleep.

As an old person who bought a house a long time ago, I can confidently say that NONE of this things are why young adults are having a tough time buying houses. Houses cost so much more relative to the average person's salary that it is tough to just find one they can afford. And then mega companies outbid other buyers so they can rent the house out. This is BS and should be illegal. Like we have entire neighborhoods bought up by rental companies.
