You know you’re a millennial if…
Millennials hate it when you call them, well, millennials. Whatevs. Technically speaking, you’re a Millennial if you were born between 1980 and 2000. But are you a true-blue member? If you’ve ticked more than five of the signs below, congrats, welcome to the hood!
1. You’re a #selfielord, #selfiewhore. No one knows your good angle like you do. What’s wrong with documenting your every move and sharing your pics with a phrase from the Bible? Hashtag, no filter.
2. #You #hashtag #everything
3. LOL is so last season. You can perfectly understand WDYMBT, TBH, BAE without difficulty. (Just in case an oldie *ehem* is reading this, millennials are generous with info: WDYMBT What do you mean by that?, TBH to be honest, BAE before anyone else. Now you know.)
4. You dig memes. Whoever invented memes is a genius—because memes feel your feels.
5. You have taken a #selfie while waiting for an LRT ride or anywhere with a full-length mirror. 1..2..3..*duckface* click and share.
6. You check Twitter for news. A 140-character headline is enough. Long article? TL; DR (too long; didn’t read)
7. Just as you barhop every effin’ night, you job hop every time the opportunity arises. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics says Millennials are expected to stay in their job for two years. The boss is too bossy? Right, I’mma get my resignation letter ready. #YOLO
8. You have a lot to do—refreshing your IG and FB page is one of them.
9. You have IGed your sweet convo with your bf.
10. You dig mash-ups: Remixed songs, food fusions, mixed-up names (think Brangelina)…
11. Your motto is “I don’t care, I love it!” USA Today says Millenials are willing to shell out big bucks on coffee, booze, and fast food.
12. You love the O.C., Dawson’s Creek, Gossip Girl, Girls,Tabing Ilog, G-Mik, nothing beats good old romance series. We’re sure you’ve screencapped your fave kilig moment and #TBT it.
13.“You can’t sit with us.” “On Wednesdays, we wear pink.” “Beware of plastics.” You are a true Mean Girl if you know these lines by heart (and we’re sure you’ve used these in one of your friendly convos with the new girl in campus/office). Your movie player’s so fed up playing a Lindsay Lohan-movie on a Friday night.
14. You’ve rocked floral jeggings or John Lloyd-pants where you fold up your skinny jeans two inches. It cuts your height and makes you appear shorter, but who cares? It’s in the Millennial lookbook.
15. You love Buzzfeed, Reddit, 9Gag…CNN and TV Patrol are so for the oldies.
16. You know Taylor Swift’s songs by heart. And when we talk about Taylor, we talk about our exes, because you know, Millennials love sharing their feelings in public.
17. Wikipedia is your primary source of information.
18. Everyone knows where you spent your weekend, what you ate, what time you went to bed. #TMI
19. Forget about long, boring theater plays or music videos on YouTube. Cute, funny 30-second cat videos are way cooler. Millennials have short attention span like that of a five-year-old. Better get to the punch line quick.
20. You are scared of the “real” world—marriage, getting a stable job, starting a family.
21. Four letters: F-A-M-E. Thanks to YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and blogs, anyone can snatch a spotlight. Enjoy your 30 seconds!
22. You live a double life—online and offline. #Exciting.
23. U’ve nver spelld out a word in a txt. Abbrev is so cool.
24. The world is in your hands because really, there are apps for everything.
25. Shut up. It’s all about me, me, me!
