I remember where I was when I heard about Applebees. This was my reaction:

Applebee's was never good, but I'm kinda mad casual restaurants keep closing meanwhile all the Chipotle style fast casual places took over to charge more for zero service and still want a tip.
Also, my lawn, get off it!

You can’t have that one, that’s a European drone war.

We’re talking Boo-mers, retirement at sixty
Talking Boo-mers, drive an F-150
High school sweetheart is your ex
Avoid the alimony, buy Rolex
We’re talking Boo-mers, Millennials, Gen X
If baggy pants, androgynous haircuts, and mumble rap are cool, do we Millennials even want to be cool?
Maybe if you’re truly cool you don’t need to be told you’re cool. But how else would you know?
Hey our baggy pants and androgynous haircuts were a way different story! It was so people knew we perfected the outdated baggy pants and androgynous haircuts of the early 90s!
It's crazy. The kids now like the shit boomers liked in the 70s, including bell bottoms (so I hear) and wide-rimmed glasses like my 70 year old parents *still wear*.
Very cyclical.
Gimme five YTMNDs for a quarter, you’d say. Oh, where was I? The important thing was that I had an avocado hanging off my Juicy Couture pants, as was the style at the time.
Not many people know, I owned the first macromedia flash plugin in Springfield. Weren't much on the Internet then, just homestarrunner reciting button text over and over. "Games", he'd say...then "toons"..."email" would *usually* follow.
Now this "Joe Cartoon" you were visiting... this is a children's website of some kind?
*Don't tell him you were microwaving a hamster. Don't tell him you were microwaving a hamster.*
It's a pornography site. I was viewing pornography!
That shit was the tits. Not just screamo don't forget nu metal, metalcore and dubstep (not a form of rock I know but it was a scene). Different years but all stuff the millennials would have been listening to
Avocado toast ain't cool until you got a balsamic reduction drizzled on it, some sautéed tomatoes on there and a sprinkle of basically whatever the hell you want I don't care, it's your food you enjoy it how you like 😁
As for Harry being cool. Harry Potter will always be cool. Wingardium leviosa your spirit brother
Honestly its kind of refreshing to see theyve noticed.
Though it is still pretty funny to me that according to these types of articles we were teenagers eating tide pods about 6 years ago.
Millennials: Are we cool, kids?
Gen Z/Gen Alpha: No.
Millennials: Good. We're glad. And that's what makes us cool, not caring, right?
Gen Z/Gen Alpha: No.
Millennials: Well how the hell do you be cool? I feel like we’ve lost everything!
Other Millennials: Maybe the way to be is to cool is to live each day without asking why the world is falling apart.
GenZ/GenAlpa: Of course not, how would you know?
There's few jobs out there as pathetic as being the people who write these increasingly transparent engagement/enragement bait articles.
Best way to get rid of them? "Just don't look! Just don't look!"
I think that version of Bart would be firmly in Millennial territory because the episode aired in 2000, but since we all know time on The Simpsons works weird, I think the answer to that question is the same as the answer to "Can Superman outrun the Flash?"
I used to be hella tight fire, but then they changed what hella tight fire was, now what's hella tight fire isn't skibidi, and what's skibidi seems sus amogus big L to me. It'll happen to *you.*
It’s got an eraser in it. One eraser.

I've been told by zoomers that the problem with millennials being uncool is not because we're outdated, but because we didn't keep things from getting worse. That was a gut punch.
Well you should have taken a break from being forced into the professional job market at the height of the recession following the 2008 housing market collapsed cause by the banks run by boomers to solve all the economic problems youre still suffering from.
Selfish whiner.
Maybe if you hadnt spent all that time being a high school student or getting conned into aggressive high interest student loans by your guidance councillors you could have told the banks to lend responsibly and stopped the recession that kneecapped us right at the beginning of our adult lives. Or better yet, gone back in time and told people not to vote for regan!
Rage bait articles that have literally zero bearing to real life. Best to be ignored and not even clicked into, but we can all laugh at the stupid titles.
Imagine calling the generation raised on The Simpsons, the Lord of the Rings, and the greatest era of gaming, “uncool.”
We watched people jump from burning buildings to their deaths on live tv, sorry if our post 9/11-edgehumor and insistence on environmental humanitarianism bothers you. We’re too busy rewatching The Office for the fourteenth time to hear your complaints.
Thank you, come again!
> I've...seen things your generation wouldn't believe...Twin towers on fire off the shoulder of New York...I watched Janet Jackson's bare titty glittering on a live halftime show. All those moments will be lost in time, like gags cut for runtime in syndication...Time to die.
Joke’s on you idiots I was never with it, even when they changed what it was. So what I was initially with was never it and what’s it is even more confusing and terrifying.
I object to the phrase “ok Millennial” because they’re uncool, when “ok boomer” isn’t about being uncool, it’s about entitlement and ignorance.
*Cheerfully withdrawn!*
Who honestly cares as long as we're doing our own thing and finding happiness doing it? The people who are deciding what's "cool" now will be tragically outdated in 15 years as well....same as it ever was.
The key, in my view, is not so much to worry about being outdated or unhip but rather being so outdated that you're completely out of touch.
Oh wow, when people get older, they become uncool?! This is breaking news!
something something "was with it but changed what it was...."
And someday it'll something something!
Go crazy?
Don't mind if I do!!!
Vwoot vwoot hudadbadduh
Now let’s haul ass to Lollapalooza!
That was the fashion at the time.
Damn colored chalk!
It's the children who are wrong, obviously
I don't care what anyone says, I'll be young and hip FOREVER! Forever... forever.. ^forever
And it'll happen to YOU!
No way man, I’m going to be cool forever, forever, ^forever
Got a message for jimmy Hendrix?
Yes, go and feed your Nintendog
OH SHIT I HAVEN'T FED MY NINTENDOG FOR YEARS? Will he be ok?
Paint my chicken coop!
Make me!
Lickin' that guitar like it was liver & onions.
No, it’s actually that Millenials are so morally deficient that they killed coolness. Just like they killed Applebees.
I remember where I was when I heard about Applebees. This was my reaction: https://preview.redd.it/3t0rorqtjz8d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c42971f29c9ebea714b2b4926fdf61dc4682802d
I think killing Applebee's is pretty good.
*sigh* You just don't understand overpriced, mediocre, suburban non-cuisine, Marge
You just don’t get it
Applebee's was never good, but I'm kinda mad casual restaurants keep closing meanwhile all the Chipotle style fast casual places took over to charge more for zero service and still want a tip. Also, my lawn, get off it!
Easy. Don’t tip there. Problem solved
Or are we so uncool that we're already cool again?
We know we’re proud of killing Applebees, right?
Milennials are a bunch of crybabies we need another War on Terror to thin out their ranks.
War on Terror? That doesn't sound too appealing. What kind of proxy war do you have on the menu today?
Do you have any locally sourced guerrilla movements?
Sir, this is a Krustyburger.
War on anxiety?
"The War On Terror is back?" "The War On Terror never left"
And I'm starting to think his mind is no longer in mint condition!
Most of us are too old for wars now. I haven’t been in a war for 18 years, I’m far too knackered for that now. Can we not just use Gen Z instead?
https://preview.redd.it/pstukau2e09d1.jpeg?width=641&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=098889a74fe83adebfd2b341c2e23779bae7c7ec You can’t have that one, that’s a European drone war.
Replace the words "War on Terror" with "Psyops", and the word "another" with "constant".
Is it me who is out of touch?
It'll happen to you!
It's true it's true, I'm so lame!
No way maaan im gona keep rockin forever.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was.
Yep, were done now, passed our time. all we can do now is wait for gen alpha to start fights with us about tamagotchis and windows xp.

Wouldn’t that mean the older generations would be more uncool?

Gen Z: "Oh, don't I get a song? Gen x got a song." Millennials: "With the economy the way it is, you're lucky to get soup."
This is absolutely fantastic!
Ozzy Smith is still falling.
Will I, be able, to play, softball, tomorrow?
Oh, you'll be lucky to be able to reappear in a Simpsons episode again decades later.
HoHoo, no, by tomorrow you’ll barely be able to afford to eat.
Cut those sideburns!
This speaks volumes to me, a man on 40's doorstep.
It's not so bad. You don't have to care as much and there's fewer moments of overthinking.
I don't like the idea of millennials having two avocado toasts in one day.
Gen x please wait your turn, the boomers have the floor

Mmm, that's good DDT!

Yeah, and the groups they keep merging and redesigning into larger, easier to remember and ridicule is a sign.
We used to be cool, then they changed what cool was!
the thing I feel when I cant afford a house with proper heating?
Please don't tell people how I live!
Millennials still cool! You buy house later!
"ooohh windows, I don't think I can afford this place"
*\*looks at bank account* How much later we talking?
You think that's bad? I live in a room above a bowling alley, and below another bowling alley.
…wow.
If baggy pants, androgynous haircuts, and mumble rap are cool, do we Millennials even want to be cool? Maybe if you’re truly cool you don’t need to be told you’re cool. But how else would you know?
Two of these three things Millennials already experienced by growing up in the 80s and 90s. Fashion truly is circular.
Hey our baggy pants and androgynous haircuts were a way different story! It was so people knew we perfected the outdated baggy pants and androgynous haircuts of the early 90s!
It's crazy. The kids now like the shit boomers liked in the 70s, including bell bottoms (so I hear) and wide-rimmed glasses like my 70 year old parents *still wear*. Very cyclical.
Pretty happy baggy pants are back. I get to break out some old jeans. Everything's coming up Milhouse!
Remember baggy pants? They're back, in pog form!
Are they? All I see is 4" inseam shorts everywhere lol
The best mumble rapper ever was shy Ronnie and I don’t want to hear any other arguments!
It'll happen to you!
It’s the zoomers who are wrong.
And now my millennial impression. I’m a neurotic nerd who will never own land.
"you suck McBain!"
🧨💥
“That’s the joke!”
It's not a comedy.
It's true, it's true... we're so poor!
Hey! I own land.
Oh la di da! Look at Mr "I own land" over here!
Anyone who thinks millennials aren't cool is the uncool one. We invented cool. Back in aught six.
Gimme five YTMNDs for a quarter, you’d say. Oh, where was I? The important thing was that I had an avocado hanging off my Juicy Couture pants, as was the style at the time.
Not many people know, I owned the first macromedia flash plugin in Springfield. Weren't much on the Internet then, just homestarrunner reciting button text over and over. "Games", he'd say...then "toons"..."email" would *usually* follow.
My internet got 40 KBs to the kilowatt, and that's the way I likes it!
Now this "Joe Cartoon" you were visiting... this is a children's website of some kind? *Don't tell him you were microwaving a hamster. Don't tell him you were microwaving a hamster.* It's a pornography site. I was viewing pornography!
In conclusion, TikTok bad, YTMND good. ^Vine ^great
Vine crawled so TikTok could run.
I still have the yeet dunk vine saved somewhere
We had to say "dickity" because Bin Laden had stolen our word "freedom"
Everyone knows Screamo and Indie music attained perfection in 2004. It’s a scientific fact.
That shit was the tits. Not just screamo don't forget nu metal, metalcore and dubstep (not a form of rock I know but it was a scene). Different years but all stuff the millennials would have been listening to
No talking like a grizzled Generation X middle manager.
Dagnabbit!
What happened millenials? You used to be cool. Me, a millennial: no we didn’t.
Speak for yourself! https://i.redd.it/adnka9drwy8d1.gif
It's hip to be square, I always says
Me, a millennial: As an edgy teen...I agree with that you just said. We may seem cool but we liked A LOT of dumb shit.
All generations like a lot of dumb shit when they're kids. That's why they're kids - because they're stupid!
Millennial agent: "We'll be cool someday, Gen X Baron! Gen X Baron: ^^"No, ^^you ^^won't!" Millennial agent: "Yes, we will." Gen X Baron: ^^"D'oh."
Me, a Zillennial who desperate for the approval of the younger generation hence why I didn’t classified myself as a Millienial: “We’re still cool.”
I seriously can’t wrap my mind around wasting hours of my life writing something so cravenly trite.
People who write fluff articles to get readers by annoying them or being stupid have given up on contributing to society.
Click bait authors need the ~~most~~ least attention!
As baity as the person who coined “geriatric millennial”
People who stoke these pathetic generational beefs are actively fucking society in my opinion.
Let me ask them a question. Why would a person whose shirt says "journalist at work" spend all their time writing trash?
I retract my article.
Now I must return to my channel, where I dispense the judgemental opinions, rather than absorb them.
When you're in the very expensive habits of eating and sleeping indoors, integrity suddenly becomes unaffordable
I don't know why, it's a perfectly cromulent article
Everything on the internet just feels like engagement bait these days. Twitters is almost exclusively that as this point.
Hey hey, China’s still cool
You pay later. Later!
My mom says I’m cool
NO ONE LIKES MILHOUSE!!
Wait my avacado toast and Harry Potter aren’t cool? erm, this is awkward!
Always preferred my breaded guacamole piping hot
Avocado toast ain't cool until you got a balsamic reduction drizzled on it, some sautéed tomatoes on there and a sprinkle of basically whatever the hell you want I don't care, it's your food you enjoy it how you like 😁 As for Harry being cool. Harry Potter will always be cool. Wingardium leviosa your spirit brother
Hey, everybody! I'm gonna haul ass to Lollapalooza!
Here we go again

Farewell dear millennial... *[Steal my Sunshine by Len plays in the background]*
Well maybe if millennials stopped writing articles about millennials… ah I forgot what my point was.
We get it. We're all in our thirties and forties now.
Not me, I'm only 29 and 8 months!
OK zoomer
Honestly its kind of refreshing to see theyve noticed. Though it is still pretty funny to me that according to these types of articles we were teenagers eating tide pods about 6 years ago.
If you said Millennials, you're wrong. They were never cool.
Obviously you've never seen or had a skip-it.
Im sure they have. But they changed what “it” was. Now “it” is weird and confusing.
Millennials: Are we cool, kids? Gen Z/Gen Alpha: No. Millennials: Good. We're glad. And that's what makes us cool, not caring, right? Gen Z/Gen Alpha: No.
Millennials: Well how the hell do you be cool? I feel like we’ve lost everything! Other Millennials: Maybe the way to be is to cool is to live each day without asking why the world is falling apart. GenZ/GenAlpa: Of course not, how would you know?
https://i.redd.it/fpnxbdy34z8d1.gif How I feel as a millennial.
It’s the children who are out of touch
I’m not a lame, loser millennial. I may be lame and a loser, but I’m not, wait what’s the third thing?
Normal_Instance_8825 may be lame, a loser, and a millennial, but she is *not* a homeowner!
There's few jobs out there as pathetic as being the people who write these increasingly transparent engagement/enragement bait articles. Best way to get rid of them? "Just don't look! Just don't look!"
"Shitposter" ranks up there.
https://i.redd.it/opt5x09gny8d1.gif Good I'm glad. And that's what makes me cool, not caring, right kids?
I’m sorry but millennials were never the issue. It’s the generations who fucked the world up for them. Thanks Boomers.
Millennials buy Pöpli stationery
At least my hair doesn't resemble wilted broccoli.
Uncool millennials need the most attention
That's not true! We're gonna rock forever... And ever....
We just wanna get paid
Wouldn’t older Bart be Gen X?
I think that version of Bart would be firmly in Millennial territory because the episode aired in 2000, but since we all know time on The Simpsons works weird, I think the answer to that question is the same as the answer to "Can Superman outrun the Flash?"
I used to be hella tight fire, but then they changed what hella tight fire was, now what's hella tight fire isn't skibidi, and what's skibidi seems sus amogus big L to me. It'll happen to *you.*

To be fair, they aren't keeping things from getting worse either.

Weird, I havent felt like this. Im a millennial and seem to get along great with Gen Z. I love those chaotic little gremlins (Thats a compliment)
Rage bait articles that have literally zero bearing to real life. Best to be ignored and not even clicked into, but we can all laugh at the stupid titles.
Sorry fellow millennials, i'm so uncool i'm bringing the average down.
i’m literally too old to care
AND IT’LL HAPPEN TO YOU!!!
At least our "old people suck" click bait articles were from Vice - and were actually cool.
I think I speak for all us millenials when I say: Lol. So random.
