Note to old people - don't mess with millennials on social media. It won't end well...
If there is one thing Millennials know how to use, it is a social media.
Last Sunday (September 4th), the hashtag #HowToConfuseAMillennial began trending on Twitter with various comments and pictures from the older generations.
Some of them were harmless enough:

A bit basic maybe but, ya know, harmless.
But then the tweets started getting a bit more pointed...

Hand them a job application form
But, of course, millennials fought back.
And that's when things got LIT!
Ruin the economy, cripple them with debt, push them into a poor job market, claim how much harder you had it. #HowToConfuseAMillennial

Destroy the housing market
Replace grad jobs with unpaid internships
Tell them to buy a house
Yaaasss!
#HowToConfuseAMillennial start a hashtag slamming millenials on a platform controlled by millenials; get offended when millenials fight back

Slay.
#HowToConfuseAMillennial Crash their economy and then condescendingly ask why so many of them are living with their parents.

In summary, if older generations want to unwisely criticise younger generations they may not want to do it on social media.
