Millennials are having quite a moment right now with TikTok. Finally, there is a social media platform they DON’T control and, well, it has been difficult to handle.

Millennials have watched as their skinny jeans, chevron-patterned draperies, and side parts have been ripped to shreds. But they’re not taking our early 2000s music. In fact, Gen Z and millennials are both enjoying a millennial-centric TikTok challenge.
For the past year, the millennial music challenge has held steady as a TikTok meme.
Maybe it’s the number of millennials that flocked to TikTok during quarantine, a penchant for nostalgia or just younger generations finding out that yes, their elders are a little cool.
