Millennials, I'm Dying To Know The "Cringe" Millennial Trends That Should Be Buried In The Archives Forever
Everything that's being marketed to us these days feels like a remix of the past, from reboots and remakes to low-rise jeans and pop-punk revivals. If you're a millennial, you've probably already seen it all the first time when it was still considered cutting-edge. Related: Maybe it's the rise of AI, the TikTok-fueled nostalgia economy, or just the fact that Gen Z never knew a world without social media. However, originality feels like it's gone missing. And if you've recently seen a pair of JNCO jeans in the wild or a trucker hat at brunch, you might've felt a full-body shudder. Related: As someone considered an Unc in certain circles — and maybe I'm just grumpy and jaded — I have a sneaking suspicion a few of you feel the same way I do. For the millennials of the BuzzFeed Community, what's the trend — fashion, lifestyle, aesthetic, internet behavior — that deserves to stay buried in the past? Related: A few come to my mind off the top: skinny jeans, am I right? I'm honestly surprised they didn't cause long-term blood circulation issues for those of us whose legs couldn't even breathe in them. And while some are attempting to make them fashionable again, it's really just a big no. Although I wouldn't be shocked if it happens again soon, I'm begging for Instagram's in-app filters to stay dead and buried. We don't need them. Let's move on. Related: And maybe most importantly, can we let hustle culture die already? I'll give Gen Z credit: they've done a great job rejecting the grind economy, and let's hope it stays that way. We already know we're getting the short end of the stick, no matter how burnt out we get. And while we're at it, let's retire the whole "can't adult today" energy, too. We're grown. We pay bills. We're just exhausted. On that note, share the millennial trends that should remain in the past and never return in the comment section. For those who feel they have especially hot takes on the matter and would prefer to remain anonymous, feel free to fill out the form below. Also in Community: Also in Community: Also in Community:

Rhea Seehorn and Vince Gilligan's Apple TV+ Series Reveals Title and Fall Premiere Date — Get a First Look
We've been waiting not so patiently for news about Rhea Seehorn's new Apple TV+ series with Vince Gilligan — and now we finally have a name to call it, at least. The upcoming sci-fi series, which reunites Seehorn with Better Call Saul co-creator Gilligan, is titled Pluribus, and it premieres Friday, Nov. 7 on the streamer with the first two episodes, TVLine has learned. Gilligan, who also created Saul's forerunner Breaking Bad, will serve as writer and showrunner. More from TVLine Outlander's Final Season: First Footage Hints at Jamie's Fate (and It's Not Great) - Watch New NCIS: Tony & Ziva Trailer Teases Rekindled Romance... and a Wedding?! - Plus, 30+ New Photos Percy Jackson and the Olympians Reveals Season 2 Release Date and Trailer, Casting for Nico/Bianca Pluribus is described as 'a genre-bending original in which the most miserable person on Earth must save the world from happiness.' Along with Seehorn, the cast includes Karolina Wydra (Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Carlos Manuel Vesga (The Hijacking of Flight 601), and guest stars Miriam Shor (Younger) and Samba Schutte (Our Flag Means Death). Apple TV+ has also released a (kinda gross) first-look teaser for the series, with a woman licking every donut in a box next to a sign saying, 'Help Yourself!' Watch it here: Much of Pluribus is still shrouded in mystery, but the title seems to come from the U.S. motto 'E pluribus unum,' or Latin for 'out of many, one.' (So the word 'many' is a key, somehow.) Plus, Apple TV+ released a teaser image for the series, featuring what looks like a petri dish with a smiley face drawn in some unknown substance, with the tagline: 'Happiness Is Contagious.' Does the story revolve around some sort of lab-grown virus, perhaps? Gilligan dropped some teases about Pluribus a while back: 'I wouldn't call this heavy science fiction, I would call it mild science fiction… There's no crime, and no methamphetamine. It's going to be fun and different.' He added that 'Rhea will be playing a very different character than she played on Saul' and 'the world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different… and the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that.' The series was first announced in September 2022, with Apple TV+ handing it a two-season order. Seehorn recently wrapped up a six-season run as attorney Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, earning two Emmy nominations for best supporting actress in a drama. Best of TVLine 'Missing' Shows, Found!
