14 Times Millennials Went Wild Online

The internet has been a wild ride for Millennials. These 14 moments are unforgettable and sometimes over the top.

1. The Great Avocado Toast Uprising

Remember when millennials collectively decided that avocado toast was not just a breakfast item but a political statement? Suddenly, every Instagram feed was a green sea of avocado toasts, each post an impassioned plea for economic reform. If aliens were to judge humanity based on Instagram in 2017, they’d think avocados were our supreme leaders.

2. The Hashtag Activism Olympics

There was a period where it seemed like every millennial was competing in an unspoken “Hashtag Activism Olympics.” The more obscure and lengthy the hashtag, the better. #SaveTheSnailsFromExtinctionBecauseTheyAreImportantToo might not fit on a bumper sticker, but it sure did make rounds on Twitter, accompanied by passionately written 280-character manifestos.

3. The Day Filters Went Too Far

Ah, the golden age of filters – when every millennial suddenly turned into a part-time unicorn, full-time sparkle enthusiast. It wasn’t just about looking good anymore; it was about looking like you just stepped out of a fantasy novel. Profile pictures became less about faces and more about how many rainbows you could fit into one frame.

4. The “I’m Quitting Social Media” Drama

About once a year, each millennial goes through a digital existential crisis and announces their departure from social media. Accompanied by a novel-length Facebook post, they detail their journey to find the ‘real’ them, untouched by digital likes. Spoiler alert: they usually come back in a week, citing ‘how much they missed memes’.

5. The Pet Account Phenomenon

When millennials started creating social media accounts for their pets, things got real. We’re not talking a couple of cute photos; these pets have more curated content and followers than most humans. Mr. Whiskers has his own hashtag and line of merchandise, and let’s be honest, you’ve thought about buying his calendar.

6. The Great Vegan War

Social media turned into a battlefield when the vegans and carnivores of the millennial generation clashed. Pictures of sumptuous steaks faced off against artfully arranged bowls of quinoa and kale. Comments sections became no-go zones unless you wanted to witness a digital food fight of epic proportions.

7. The Fitness Flex-Off

Fitness posts became the new social currency, and if you weren’t posting about your gym routine, were you even working out? Gym selfies, kale smoothie recipes, and yoga poses in impossible locations filled our feeds. Suddenly, everyone was a fitness guru with a PhD in hashtag science.

8. The Political Meme Wars

Election season turned social media into a meme minefield. Millennial feeds were flooded with political memes that ranged from cleverly amusing to ‘how did this even get past the drawing board?’ Regardless of where you stood politically, you couldn’t escape the relentless barrage of Photoshop and puns.

9. The Cryptocurrency Rollercoaster

When millennials discovered cryptocurrency, social media became a stock market floor. Everyone had a hot tip, a surefire investment strategy, and a tale of how they almost became a Bitcoin billionaire. It was like watching a soap opera, but with more graphs and less believable plot twists.

10. The Travel Bragging Bonanza

Once a millennial goes on vacation, their social media becomes a travel agency brochure. Every photo is meticulously chosen to incite the maximum amount of FOMO in their followers. It’s not just about the experience; it’s about showing everyone how #blessed and #wanderlust you are.

11. The Artisan Coffee Chronicles

For millennials, a cup of coffee is never just a cup of coffee – it’s a work of art worthy of its own photoshoot. Social media saw an influx of latte art shots, each more intricate than the last. Who knew coffee could inspire such creativity and such intense debates about foam?

12. The DIY Disaster Showcases

The rise of Pinterest led many a millennial down the DIY rabbit hole, with often hilarious results. Social media was littered with ‘Pinterest fails’ – attempts at homemade crafts that looked more like abstract art gone wrong. It’s the effort that counts, right?

13. The Overanalyzed Relationship Status

Millennials took the “It’s complicated” relationship status to new heights. Every update, photo, and vague status became a subject of intense scrutiny. Relationship analysis became a community sport, with friends and strangers alike chiming in with advice, theories, and the occasional popcorn emoji.

14. The One-Upping Birthday Posts

Finally, the millennial birthday post competition – where wishing someone a happy birthday wasn’t enough unless it was accompanied by a collage, a heartfelt essay, and a custom hashtag. It’s not just a birthday wish; it’s a testament to your unbreakable bond, detailed in 10 photos or less.
