The 'Ok Millennial' phrase emerged as a direct response to the viral 'Ok Boomer' phenomenon, serving as a snarky retort used primarily by Gen Z to dismiss the concerns or habits of the Millennial generation. While Millennials famously used 'Ok Boomer' to shut down older generations, they soon found themselves on the receiving end of the same dismissive energy. The meme typically targets stereotypical Millennial traits, such as an obsession with Harry Potter, overuse of the word 'adulting,' or their perceived economic struggles. It captures the shifting cultural tide as Gen Z establishes its own identity by poking fun at the 'cringe' aspects of those born in the 80s and 90s.
