TikTok Romanticizing 2000s Teen Culture Makes Millennials Feel As Though They're On The Verge Of Death

To my fellow Millennials, we've all seen Grampa Simpson's It will happen to you bit, but I doubt we've actually internalized that it will happen to us.

Millennials' frail sense of their own mortality received a stern reckoning this week when a TikTok video by @madmolly proclaimed "If you were a teen in this era, you have no idea how jealous I am of you." The "era" she is referring to, as "Mr. Brightside" plays, is the mid-late 2000s.

Finally, a teen born in le wrong generation is pining for the days when the phrase "le wrong generation" was coined.

To those who were, in fact, a teen during the era @MadMolly is referring to and can clearly remember things like Nyan Cat, Crabcore and scene kids, the video was like getting an invitation to a nursing home. The video did extremely well on TikTok, gaining over 1.2 million views, but it did even better on Twitter, where the site's more Millennial-skewed demographic spent their time freaking out about it. The repost of the video there by user @artestetriste gained over 2 million views and 8,000 quote tweets from people realizing they were on the verge of dying.

It's only going to get worse from here, Millennials. Just wait: in five years, someone's going to make a "le wrong generation post" but it'll feature Hit Or Miss and PewDiePie. In ten years, someone's going to do it with the COVID-19 Pandemic, and that'll be a real trip.
