Millennials are now museum-worthy—and TikTok has feelings
Millennial culture has officially made it to the history books. A history teacher recently turned her sixth grade classroom into a museum for millennial paraphernalia with the help of her Gen Alpha students' parents. Judging by the comments on the teacher's TikTok video, millennials aren't sure whether to be thrilled or horrified. Malinda Nichols (@hipsterhistorywithmrsn) posted the video earlier this month, highlighting 'historical artifacts from the 1990s' for her students' benefit. Out on display were flip phones, Nintendos, and disposable cameras. Boyz II Men and Beanie Babies also made an appearance. 'The collection in here has easily got to be worth 10s of dollars,' she joked. 'But the nostalgic value is truly priceless.' In a second video, with almost 800,000 views on TikTok, she showed the students' reactions to the 'museum of the millennial,' as she called it. Students played POGS, a popular playground game played with flat circular cardboard milk caps, and attempted to figure out how buttons worked on an old-school Nokia. The parents also made a surprise appearance for a 'history lesson' straight from the horse's mouth. Students' questions included: 'How did you make plans with your friends before texting?' and 'What commercials or jingles do you still remember from when you were younger?' Finally, students were tasked with creating their own AOL screen names to round out the full millennial experience. 'I created the 'museum of the millennial' lesson for my sixth grade students to show them that history isn't just found in dusty textbooks—it's alive, personal, and being made every day,' Nichols told Fast Company. 'By inviting parents to share artifacts from their childhood in the '80s and '90s, students saw firsthand how the people who raised them, including myself—I'm a proud millennial and parent of a sixth grader—helped pioneer the digital age, even if we didn't realize it at the time because for us it was just living our lives.' For a much-maligned generation (those born roughly between 1981 and 1996), it was a welcome change to see their culture finally getting the recognition it deserves. For too long, millennials have been forced to listen as older generations chastised them for overspending on avocado toast, before they became sandwiched by a younger generation who roasted them for their unironic love of Harry Potter and penchant for burger joints.

Live Nation's $30 summer concert deal includes Richmond shows
Live Nation 's new summer concert promotion is coming, and the live music behemoth will offer $30 tickets to roughly 1,000 concerts nationwide. Why it matters: The " $30 Ticket to Summer" launches Wednesday and includes more than a dozen shows at Richmond's (and Live Nation's) new Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront. Zoom in: Boyz II Men, Brad Paisley, Jason Isbell, The Head and The Heart, Leon Bridges and Weird Al Yankovic are among the Allianz shows included in the $30 ticket special, per Live Nation. In some cases, like the Counting Crows' July show, tickets end up being about $10 cheaper with the deal. In others, like Steve Martin and Martin Short in September, $30 is basically half-off the cheapest tickets currently available. Zoom out: If none of the Richmond shows spark your interest, the Ticket to Summer promo is also running for select shows at Live Nation's other venues in the state, which are: Atlantic Union Bank Pavilion in Portsmouth. and The Dome in Virginia Beach. Jiffy Lube Live in Northern Virginia. Highlights from those lineups on special include Kesha and comedian Kevin James in Virginia Beach, Cyndi Lauper in NoVa, and The Temptations & The Four Tops in Portsmouth. Flashback: Last summer, Live Nation celebrated 10 years of "Concert Week" with $25 tickets, but those deals only lasted one week. Between the lines: Tickets purchased through the offer include all the fees in the $30 cost, according to Live Nation. Any taxes, which differ among venues, will be added at checkout.
