As a millennial I can’t help but be jealous of gen z because we grew up with tech but it was all 1st gen bullshit. Like oh you’re 16 and use waze to get around? That’s cool I had a giant TomTom gps in my 2004 CRV and I couldn’t figure out how to get it to stop speaking French.

Lady Bird is a tribute to older millennials who cried to Dave Matthews and lived and died by Kazaa. Booksmart is that for juuling, Tik Tok loving gen z teens. We need a movie for younger millennials who graduated in 2010 and had to live through Jersey Shore and Lil Wayne.
