Being a millennial is just:

Watch a bunch of people die on live television in middle school homeroom

See America get excited about killing Middle Eastern people - literally forever apparently

Everyone asking you why your whole generation is so depressed and anxious all the time

“This is not constitutional!” I cry as the temu-bought katana enters my belly
