Holy shit lol. I remember when egg was just a stupid joke, and yeah it's morphed into the general term, but it's really funny watching terminology that came from dweebs on the internet find it's way into news publications because your people have been demonized so much.

> Our elders are too busy being completely asked with their addiction to relevance and self-importance When the media started harping about how self-involved millenials were because they were taking selfies, my first thought was, "These are the same fuckers that made *Forrest Gump* and *the Wonder Years.* *The Wonder Years* premiered in 1988, set in 1968. That's like if someone today produced a TV show about how nice and wholesome it was to grow up in 2006. (Except it's not, because even when the show was inevitably rebooted in 2021, it was *still* set in 1968. Because Boomers still needed that nostalgia hit.)

Lol why did they explain 'bringing me down' to mean 'taking off a high', to then later explain 'taking off a high' as 'sobering up' 😂

And just like the first image, many of the words in second image are rarely if ever used by the generation being stereotyped and are more often used by older generations to do the stereotyping, inventing a largely imagined culture for the generation they're completely out of touch with.
