Memes For Millennials Nearing Their 30s
If you're a millennial born in the early 90s, there's something looming ahead that you can't ignore: your 30s. And that's terrifying for a number of reasons: you're not ready to be an adult, you're still stuck in the "temporary" side job you took on the way to your professional career, and there's a younger generation calling us out for not being "cool enough" (we invented cool you little brats). Nothing justifies outraged feelings more than some memes to remind you that a whole generation of people is going through the problems you face. So put on those skinny jeans, side part your hair, and dig into these memes.

Maybe one of the reasons I can't accept the coming of my 30s is because the only housing I can afford is a room in a share house with four other millennials who are also in the same predicament...

A song from "my time"? The golden old days? But yes, the music was better back then.

Stop jumping so I can catch up, get a well-paying and fulfilling career, meet the love of my life, buy a house, earn so much I can afford organic vegetables, and buy as many skinny jeans as I want.

Because my hangovers last three days now and I'm too wise to think that any night out is worth that.

Shut up you little runts, we invented everything you think is cool. Baggy jeans? Look at the 90s. Middle parts? Uhhhh every single one of us had (involuntary) middle parts.
