About
#MillennialAwardCategories is a Twitter hashtag used to catalog a game in which mock stereotypes about millennials, or individuals born between the early 1980s and the early 2000s, are formatted as parodies of award shows.
Origin
On June 25th, 2019, Twitter[1] user @DK_Hennessy tweeted, "Powered by @HashtagRoundup, it's the @Hash_Off. And the winner is…#MillennialAwardCategories. If Millennials had their own award show, what categories would there be?" The post started a hashtag game about a millennial award show (shown below).
Spread
Following the post, players of the game began posting various stereotypes that are associated with millennials as if they were categories for an award show. For example, Twitter[2] user @tweetfeelsgood tweeted, "Survivor Of The Longest Queue For The Latest iPhone" (shown below, left).
Throughout the day, others did the same, attaching the hashtag to jokes about how some perceive millennials to easily offended or ambivalent (examples below, center and right, respectively).
That day, the website StayHipp[3] published a listicle on the hashtag.
