Ah, the joys of millennial memes. From working too hard to obsessing over text messages, millennials are easy targets.
Born between 1982 and 2004, millennials fall smack dab in the middle between Generation X and Generation Z.
What better way to capture the essence of the beloved social media guinea pigs than with funny millennial memes?
Being part of the most joked about generation has some perks. I mean, it’s kind of like hitting the joke lottery.
But, being millennials, we know how to laugh it off (generally, after a good cry).
So, check out the top 28 millennial memes all of us can relate to and try to laugh off some of the stress.
