    A NOTE: i dont know why this is causing such a controversy: calling millennials cringe. OBVIOUSLYYYYY i dont mean all millennials duh... i literally never mean an over arching generalization when i talk about a group of people - it's a simple way of talking but just because other can be so narrow minded about an entire group of people doesn't mean i do (that's a weird projection and i dont want any part of that) plus i am specifically talking about how cringe some millennial authors can be in books and it's just a certain flavor of milllenialness that stands out
    literally any generation can be cringe what are you even trying to fight me about!!!!! by being upset enogh to comment is proving my point about cringe millennials aaaaaaaaa

      @@katherinekaras the thing with making videos is that it's easy to be misinterpreted if you aren't careful with how you phrase things. You say "obviously" but how exactly is it obvious if you don't clarify it?? Anyway, thanks for making it clear now. It was obviously an unlucky moment.

      I made the comment in your previous video, but I also wasn't fighting you about it. I was actually laughing about the absurdity of it all - millennial-ness becoming such a thing that it's got such bad connotations now. I also don't think it started much of a controversy, just a conversation, and a pretty isolated one at that amidst all the positive comments. People in your community are pretty calm, me included, so no need to feel so attacked, because you aren't. Sorry I made you feel bad about it!

      You're babbling and you're "rood"...(and how do you call anyone cringe when you spell rude like this). Are you new at life or something? I thought you were 20s not 12. When you're bitchy and you're not clear in what you say people will react "duh". If bitchy is going to be your style own it and don't whine when people comment

    As a millennial, I think some of us have forgotten how cringe we considered our elders. Like, it’s just part of the circle of life- I’m now the weird outdated auntie at the party and I’m fine with that 😂

    • @nicolinasurel
      @nicolinasurel 2 місяці тому +16

      Nah. We were bullied by the older generations if we said anything bad about them being cringe because we didn't serve in whatever war or lived through the murder of Tupac and the death of Kurt Cobain. Or Elvis, if it was a Boomer dishing the hate. Because the vitriol traumatized us, we didn't bully Gen Z as they were coming up, even though we were blamed in the media for the 'Tide Pod' incident. Now Gen Z bullies us. 🤷‍♀

    such a random comment but seeing you with the nct 127 sticker tshirt brings back memories.. i started watching you in 2020 when your content had lots of kpop related bits and tbh you made being a kpop stan cool in my eyes.
    I only started stanning kpop groups at the beginning of 2023 and my favorite group is Stray Kids and i'm always thinking about your vlog when you went to see them!!

    I don’t understand millennials who take such extreme offense to, “Millennial cringe” 😂it’s literally not that big a deal. My sibs are all gen z and they make fun of me all day. But like, I am the older sister they are supposed to go from being, “I have the coolest big sister” when they young to being like, “Omg can you be anymore cringe” when they’re older😂 isn’t that just normal?We did the same to gen x.
    Oh I cannot do the modern pop culture references it drives me crazy🤣the minute I see it the book is sent back.

    Also, i totally get what you mean about millennialisms in contemporary books. im a baby millennial so im stuck between thinking my elder millenneals are cringe, but still being cringe myself to younger generations 😭

    Your comment about suddenly feeling drained while out and about is so relatable to me. I have narcolepsy, so I get that way a lot. I also get migraines that are triggered by sleep issues…definitely not fun when you have a sleep disorder! I’m sometimes scared to drive places because the need to take a nap while out and about can hit so suddenly and then I feel stranded because I can’t drive home (where I live public transportation is pretty non-existent). Anyway, not trying to diagnose you or anything because it could be many different things that cause those symptoms. Just saying that I feel your pain.

  • @theredbun2487
    @theredbun2487 Місяць тому +1

    this is going to be annoying but I have to comment since you are saying you are not feeling well and you don’t know what’s going on. I had a very similar lifestyle as you before and I also felt weird (and also tired) all the time and it was getting worse quickly. The reason behind this was that all my meals were (including snacks) carb and sugar based. I barely ate any fibers and proteins. I only see the food you show us obviously, so this is based on only that. It might be a good idea to start here, many people have this issue these days.
