#millennial culture

[igraine-ohnefurcht]

Being an adult is crazy. I have very adult problems. I need to do my taxes, have to clean, do laundry, I'm (maybe) inheriting a house. I have a job and I'm freelancing.

I also have Glow in the Dark stars above my bed. I regularly play makebelieve with friends and I watch Anime.

Don't let people tell you these things are mutually exclusive.

Pluto in Scorpio gen-

I think it’s largely gonna be up to us to try to clean up the mess from Pluto in Capricorn. While corporations ran wild with the most insane power they ever had during Pluto in Capricorn, I also see that Pluto over those years has helped to reveal what was being buried from us, making the general public aware about all this corporate corruption.

I hope that Pluto in Aquarius, the sign of society’s water bearer, can ultimately help pave the way to societies where the power is at least a little more in the hands of the people. And we need the influence of people with Pluto at home♏️ in their charts to achieve this (the generation also known as millennials that are getting old enough to become politicians or hold other high ranking positions in society).

I think it’s really interesting that there was such an emphasis on other outer planets in Capricorn during the Pluto in Scorpio period when millennials were born. Neptune was in Capricorn over the vast majority of Pluto in Scorpio, and Uranus was in Capricorn for over half of it. Saturn in Capricorn also happened during about the middle range of Pluto in Scorpio, and Saturn’s meeting with Neptune and/or Uranus during these few years provided another influence to increase the desire and advantage of people in this generation to change the structures we have known.

Maybe all this understanding of Capricorn’s influence with generational planets that reflect society, can help those of us with Pluto in Scorpio to remedy the mess that Pluto in Capricorn made society so aware of.

Pluto in Aquarius will square the Plutos of all of us with Pluto in Scorpio at some time during its transit over the next 19 years. But no seriously substantial transformation in society has taken place without people being pushed to action by *tense* dynamics.

Get ready to be the change you want to see, fellow Pluto in Scorpios/millennials! And screw anyone saying we don’t have what it takes! The planet that transforms societal corruption is AT HOME in our charts! And I already see the ways millennials are not only helping to transform society, but the ways that so many are transforming their family lines; which is where it all starts. There’s a reason we’re called “The therapy generation”. It definitely seems to me that we are the first generation to put as much deliberation as we have towards generational trauma, and how to heal it. ❤️‍🩹

Placebo is one of the major "If this band was part of the soundtrack of your formative years, you're probably not straight" bands for millennials.

Chaps, is it a millennial thing to be obsessed with vampires and zombies?

I talked to my younger colleagues at work and they were all staring at me until one of them went: Wait...when were you born again? You're a millennial, aren't you?

And once I told them they made a face that said "ah yes, that explain EVERYTHING."

And now...to be really frank: I'm befuddled.

I really think the main difference between myself and someone from Gen Z is how often I think 'but I am le tired!’ to myself.

[omnihilo]

“Bro”, “bruh”, “sus”, etc are going to be gen z’s “for the win”, “ermahgerd”, “yolo” and I can’t fucking wait.

Millennials listening to New Romantics

[queenladonna]

"Why do Recessionist Millennials have so much anxiety??"

Our childhood/teen years: *Columbine massacre and then growing up hearing of it constantly, Y2K scare, Aaliyah's death from a plane crash (widely publicized), 9/11 (about 2 weeks after that), war in Iraq, war in Afghanistan, lots of disturbing horror movies (especially Final Destination movies), always being told about "Stranger Danger," Hurricane Katrina, financial collapse, other mass shootings, Mayan apocalypse scare...*

Do I need to go on?? 🙃

Millennial culture is nodding politely while Boomers [affectionate] give me directions somewhere, knowing full well I'm just going to put it in Google Maps as soon as I get in the car.

Millennial culture is not being able to hold a shopping bag in sight of your parents without one or both interrogating you about your finances, shopping habits, and being convinced you're a debt drowned wastrel one step from a gutter.

Also, there's nothing in the bag but coffee creamer and a pack of new socks you needed. Clearly you're out of control.

Imagine getting emotional and nostalgic watching Jurassic World with your friends. Then after the cinema you go eat pizza together and you find yourself talking about healt issues and tax declaration.

If you can relate you are a Millennial.

When I was your age, the alphabet had to carry our emojis on its back to school in the snow uphill both ways.

The me today cannot, for the life of her, understand how tf baby-me was brazen enough to write "hi I'm new here who wants to chat? :)" into a chatroom full of strangers of unknown age, gender and location and then just go on and have full-on conversations with 25 people at the same time who all basically write in steno steno.

"@bumblebee12 r8 so g8 2 hv u here 2day dis ll be cool"*

Like, today I don't even really do discord most days because I can't be arsed to try and have a conversation with one or two people while a million other people are talking to each other at the same time and all the messages pop up intermingled.

Alright, since I don't think anyone is gonna see this, I'll just snitch a little.

Roughly 92% of Gen Z memes/slang are purposely formulated to piss off/alienate Millennials to get back at y'all for incessantly talking sh*t when Zoomers where too young to effectively clap back. It's unspoken spite.

But Gen Alpha...? They live to make mind melting nonsense to hurt us all because we set a bad example. Any modern day memes we hate aren't a product of the changing of times so much as it is a product of ageism. A collective Goof up.

I’m really grateful tumblr has chilled out into a cozy little space of mostly my peers. It’s nice to log on somewhere and feel seen/understood.
