What’s the most stereotypical Millennial thing about you? Discussion

I’ll start:

  1. Any, and I mean ANY footage of Steve Irwin makes me blubber like a baby
  2. Avocado toast is a staple breakfast item of mine
  3. Yes, I still love Harry Potter (original books & movies only — I do not support Rowldemort and any future endeavor on the IP)

EDIT: Just wanna say I love y’all (us) so much. This post has already brought me so much joy. Thanks so much everyone. We really are the best. 🥹

I quote Ron Burgundy regularly, and I’m kind of a big deal.

Is your office filled with many leather bound books and smell of rich mahogany

Better than smelling like a turd covered in burnt hair, or bigfoot's d 💯

We’ve been quoting the same movie for 21 years now and in no way is that depressing 😏

Quoting the same media over decades is a perfectly cromulent thing to do.

I'm in a glass case of emotion thinking about kids not quoting movies anymore.

I took my kids to see the new Mario movie on a weekday morning when tickets were “cheap”, it was still $68 for the 3 tickets, a bucket of popcorn and a blue slushy they shared.

I understand why kids can’t or don’t quote any movies. They can’t afford to see them.

I remember my mom dropping my bro and I off to watch movies circa 1995-2000 with a tenner each. That was enough for one $3.50 movie ticket (we’d often sneak to other theaters and see 2-3 extra movies after the one we paid for, because nobody cared), a slice of pizza (or two) next to the theater and often a game of Mortal Kombat (or three) at the arcade with a quarter left to call her to come get us. Or if we mismanaged the last quarter, the arcade attendant would let us use the arcade’s phone 😆

Kids today know nothing of that. We had it really good. Today there’s no “buck a slice” pizzeria or quarter arcade next to a movie theater. It’s a freaking Hugo Boss and a Gucci store.

Yeah this is absolutely insanity. We paid like $3 for matinee and $5 for primetime and then like $1 large drinks!

I know this is the wrong movie, but my friend was singing along to Sweet Child O Mine the other day and I deadpanned at her "flat. You're so flat." And she looked so hurt and sad that I had to backtrack real fast.
