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.
