    Why do millennials use that type of language? Adulting, did a thing, well that happened, etc.

    It’s grinding my gears into quarks

      Just wait until the 40 year old zoomers are still using the same phrases. That will also be cringe.

            It can also mean outright anti rizz.

        Millennials must return to posting online like they’re writing an email.

        It’s the only way.

      “Grown-ass adult (usually man)” also pisses me off, especially when used as a peacocking attempt against supposedly not “grown-ass” adults. It instantly sounds tryhard to me.

        Trickle down linguistics. That phrase was a staple of AAVE and white people stole it and made it cringe. A tale as old as time

      perpetual infantilisation by boomers coupled with early exposure to unregulated internet damaged us.

      Leave us alone, bagging out generational groups for silly and harmless quirks is cringe. Making fun of millenial slang is just as dorky as millenials mocking gen z haircuts as if we didn’t do skinny jeans.
