Does anyone else find it kind of cute how millennials started out super edgy as kids but a lot of us have turned into total weenies that like puppers and cry a lot? (hexbear.net)

Okay first of all obligatory "generational labels are bullshit" disclaimer.

But I just noticed a lot of humour made by millennials as adults is very "cutesy" and "dad joke".

If anyone grew up in the 90s or 2000s, you know that we were the total opposite as kids. Seriously it wasn't long ago where the hight of our humour was homophobia and jokes about SA. We were the fucking horrible edgelord generation.

How did we go from being kids that would beat each other up for even looking at the colour pink, to the heckin' wholesome cat video generation?

Honestly I know we make fun of ourselves for the "HECKING POGGER PUPPERINO" shit, but honestly, it's a step up from the edgelord shit we grew up with.

This is, of course, ignoring that a lot of us didn't grow out of it and became your Ben Shapiro's and your Steven Crowders (I am so sorry Zoomers, we failed you hard)

Ok, but this comic isn't an example of that. It's very obviously about how cultural experiences are so ungodly expensive, and aren't accessible up the average person.

It's both that it being funny that despite bragging about how adult they are the price makes them cry
