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.
