Twitter Has Olympic Jokes For Millennials
As the 2018 Winter Olympics wind down, as per usual, many people took to Twitter with some jokes about Millennials.
It's no secret that the overwhelming majority of athletes participating in the 2018 Winter Olympics are, in fact, Millennials. The average age of the Olympic athletes for the United States is 26.5. However, that didn't stop social media from doing its best to come up with jokes that poke fun at the stereotypes of Millennials and match them up with Olympic events, which created the hashtagged phrase, "#MillennialOlympicEvents."
Check out some of the best tweets that resulted from the trending hashtag.
You get the idea. Of course, there were plenty to point out the irony of the hashtag itself.
There are plenty more similar to this one, but of course, it wouldn't be social media if there wasn't someone to object to all the fun being had. However, it's good to know that the majority of Millennials in the thread seem to be able to take a joke. Perhaps in the summer games of 2020, the running hashtag might be #GenerationZOlympicEvents.
