Millennials bravely roasted themselves, and here are 25 things they admit they got wrong
Millennials have been called entitled, lazy, overly sensitive, and obsessed with avocado toast for so long that we’re now getting in on the fun and roasting ourselves.
In a Reddit thread asking Millennials what they dislike about their own generation, people came well-prepared with grievances. They questioned everything from delayed maturity to getting run over by our kids to a questionable affinity for the word “doggo,” among many other linguistic offenses.
