Some people say that Twitter is worthless, but I beg to differ.
As a Millennial, one invaluable service that I can rely on Twitter to deliver is giving me an endless and comprehensive list of what I should NOT consider to be a personality trait.
I gather these carefully, print them out on my dot-matrix, and compile them into a sort of vision board to help me focus. Or at least I did, until I was informed that having a vision board was not a personality trait, and subsequently burned it in ritualistic fire.
Here are some more things to avoid, lest ye be basic.
18. TikTok hate
It’s gonna be fascinating to see a whole generation of people mortified by their old TikToks once they hit their late 20’s.
hey millennials! hating on tiktok isn’t a personality trait 🥴 go back to being a “dog mom” and stanning harry potter

At least we’re not still putting them on CD’s.
Millennials think having dmx and fall out boy on the same playlist is a personality trait lol.

We were instilled at a young age with a fear of sexy vampires.

1. The real truth
But punch away, kids.
The entire personality of millennials is based on the fact that we wanna die and that we hate our jobs and need time off.
