No generation has it easy, but being a millennial comes with what seems like more challenges than normal. It sometimes feels like you’re living in a never-ending series of global crises while also wondering how to save up for a home while affording groceries. It’s no wonder then why so many people turn to nostalgic content as a distraction.

The ‘Millennial Misery’ Instagram account shares some incredibly relatable and funny memes that you’ll probably enjoy if you’re a member of Generation Y. We’ve picked out the most nostalgic and fun of the bunch to share with you. Scroll down to take a peek!

Bored Panda reached out to Jamie Jackson, the founder of the 'Millennial Misery' account, and she was kind enough to answer our questions. You'll find her thoughts below.

We got them every Earth Day in Elementary school. I'd always plant mine, and at some point in time it would always get ran over when mowing XD

We planted to in 1990, in honor of my grandfather who had recently passed. They are now tall and strong! I never imagines they would grow to full size, and it's crazy seeing them now in all their glory and remembering the day i brought home the little springs wrapped in wet paper towels haha

We plant seedlings 🌱 in a burn area every year. We go back to check on them and water them if necessary until their roots can find their own. It’s a great way to spend a day out side. Lots of work but rewarding too.

We were interested in how Jackson sees millennials, as well as what sets them apart from other generations. "At the core of being a true millennial lies a delicate balance between existential dread and artisanal joy," the creator of 'Millennial Misery' told Bored Panda in an email.

"We’re the generation that will spiral into a quarter-life crisis, then soothe ourselves with a $7 oat milk latte and a weighted blanket," she said.

"We survived dial-up internet, watched the rise and fall of MySpace, and still mourn the loss of Vine like it was a national tragedy."

    I tell people all the time how important it is to memorize the phone numbers of at least two or three of your closest contacts. Phones can be broken or stolen in a critical situation and not being able to contact someone you need quickly can make a bad situation that much worse. No one ever listens to me.

    According to Jackson, what sets millennials apart is their "uncanny ability to turn any life event into a meme," alongside their "deep emotional connection to Harry Potter despite being full-grown adults."

    She added that something else that's unique about Gen Y is their "commitment to using avocado as both a food group and a personality trait."

    "We invented the phrase 'I can’t even' and truly, sometimes—we just can’t. Also, we may not own homes, but by god, our houseplants are thriving."

    Bored Panda was also curious to get Jackson's thoughts on how content creators can stand out from the crowd on social media.

    "The memes that stand out are the ones that hit you right in the oddly specific feels. I’m talking about the ones that make you laugh, then immediately spiral into an identity crisis like, 'Wait… how does this stranger on the internet know I still think about that cringey thing I said in 2009?' We really all lived the same lives..." she said.

    From her perspective, the "magic formula" for truly great content is combining nostalgia with absurd relatability and unhinged timing.

    "Also, if a meme makes me actually LOL while questioning my life choices and also craving Dunkaroos? You win."

    And when you get to sleep, you find it hard to stay asleep.

    Millennials fundamentally have a close relationship with technology. Born between 1981 and 1996, the members of Generation Y (aka Gen Y) are the first to be born into a truly digital world.

    Investopedia notes that they’re digital natives, as tech has been a part of their everyday lives. Just one example is the fact that millennials check their phones an estimated 150 times a day.

    Some researchers argue that millennials should be defined to include people born in 1980 or even 2004. But most commonly, anyone born before 1981 is labeled as Generation X (Gen X), while those born after 1996 are part of Generation Z (Gen Z, whose members are colloquially called Zoomers).

    Those born right on the cusp between Gen Y and Gen Z are sometimes referred to as millennials, and they might sometimes find it hard to tell which generation they truly belong to.

    Investopedia notes that millennials are typically more progressive and less religious. In the US, they are the biggest generation in terms of numbers. Unfortunately, due to the wealth gap, members of Gen Y start off with less household income.

    Millennials are also burdened by huge amounts of student loan debt. The upside? They are incredibly energetic, typically follow their career or leisure ambitions, and embrace travel.

    According to Statista, millennials are “quickly becoming the world’s most active group of consumers.” Naturally, this means that lots of companies focus their marketing campaigns and the media they produce to target Gen Y. Broadly speaking, millennials are major consumers of tech products, especially smartphones, tablets, computers, and gaming consoles.

    As more members of Gen Y continue working their way up their career ladder, they become an ever more important part of the economy.

    ‘Millennial Misery’ first found its way on Instagram in mid-2021. In the several years since it was created, the account has grown by leaps and bounds.

    Currently, a whopping 1.7 million people follow it on social networks for the freshest content. Though the memes are geared mainly toward millennials, aka Generation Y (hi!), everyone can enjoy the nostalgia and humor.

    The ‘Millennial Misery’ account is part of a wider network run by the founder of the project, Jamie Jackson—aka the Chief Meme Officer. She also runs the popular Humorous Resources account and has recently created Parody Parenting, too.

    “My goal is to create a safe place for work professionals to commiserate about their corporate lives, millennials to submerge themselves in nostalgia, and HR professionals to escape from the ridiculousness of HR,” Jackson writes on her website.

    before 'latchkey kids' we were the generation that left the house in the summer & on wkends to roam the neighborhood & hang out with friends. didn't come home until supper or streetlights--sometimes just ate at a friends house. We were one of the last generations to have this kind of freedom. My children were the last. We EARNED our independence & relished it.

    That being a latchkey kid was SAD because the social make-wrong was parent shaming - mostly the mother because they could not afford that 1950s insistence on what was "right" and how dare a woman work.

    “Millennials have really experienced some pretty wild life events growing up, and we could all use a little humor to survive the trauma,” Jackson told us during an earlier interview. She was also kind enough to share what sets millennial humor and life apart from other generations.

    “We (millennials) love to make fun of ourselves. From our fashion to our lack of money to afford a home from all the avocado toast we eat! Millennials have received blame for [destroying] so many things from department stores to the doorbell—I love joking about the idiocracy of it all.”

    My mom recently got a new printer. One of those monstrosities with "refillable" cartridge wells that is also wireless via an app. I set everything up in 20 mins but told her it only worked through the computer it's connected to and cancelled the auto-ship of ink when the machine "detects low levels". F all that nonsense. The only stuff she needs to print is driving directions and itineraries. Should last her plenty more than suggested. OH! and the stupid machine wasted 1/3 of each cartridge in only doing the initial set-up. Ridiculous!

    Jackson noted that millennials “love to submerge themselves” in nostalgia. “I believe it makes us feel safe like we are kids again. It’s not about your political stance, religion, or race—it’s about remembering the innocence of our childhood,” she shared her thoughts about reminiscing about the past.
