Millennials Are Confessing The Most YOLO Things They've Done Recently, And I Kind Of Feel Bad For Them
If the Gen-Zs have DIFTP (Do It For The Plot), then millennials have yolo: You Only Live Once. According to the Urban Dictionary, "It practically makes you believe you can do ANYTHING," a user wrote. For any dear readers who WEREN'T in the know circa 2011-2013, it's the mantra you say to yourself to self-soothe when you send that risky text, book a tropical vacation on credit, or order a round of shots when you know you have brunch with your boyfriend's parents the next day. It's the headspace of: not exactly responsible — but hey, here for a good time, not a long time. So, in honor of #YOLO, someone in the r/Millennials subreddit recently asked, "Is the millennial 'yolo' movement still alive? What's the most irresponsible thing you've done lately, financially or otherwise?" Here's what people had to say: 1."A girl I was messaging on a dating app asked me to go out with her at like 10 p.m. on a Wednesday. She was already out. I got home around 3 a.m. and had to get up for work in less than 4 hours."
