Millennials — TikTok’s most unwelcome guests — are showing themselves on the platform and the results are a little too nostalgic for this old editor.
TikTok user @thecorporatemama started the trend in a clip where she asked her followers to “tell me you’re a millennial without telling me that you’re a millennial.”
TikTok millennials came out of the woodwork to reply, sharing memories from the late ’90s and early ’00s that, until this very moment, still felt like a fever dream.
For instance, user @tamrakelly0 shared a video of herself folding a paper fortune teller while Hanson’s “MMMBop” played softly in the background.
“Who wants to play?” she captioned the video.
Will she end up living with her billionaire husband in a rusty trailer, or with 1,000 children in a mansion under the sea? To be determined.
Another user, @yourfuture.exwife, shared a video of herself layering the ever-living daylight out of her three tops, as any good Millennial would do.
User @justme.rod probably took the cake here, with a simple drawing of THE “S.”
And, of course, there was @andrealizcan‘s take on the prompt, in which she showed off her very empty wallet.
Probably shouldn’t have spent all that money on avocado toast.
