‘Millennials of New York’ is the Perfect Millennial Lifestyle Parody Instagram Account

There are a lot of great things to be said of millennials. There are also very many tendencies of this generation worthy of mocking and satire.

‘Millennials of New York‘, a parody of the wildly successful and inspiring ‘Humans of New York’ project, focuses on the latter by posting photos of hip twentysomethings with hilarious self-deprecating captions.

The project is the work of Elite Daily writers Connor Toole and Alec MacDonald and the subjects so far have mostly been personal contacts who’ve agreed to be profiled and approved the captions.

Many of the subjects’ “interviews” are based on an element of truth and then exaggerated to fit the hipster, navel-gazing millennial narrative.

Around 50 posts have been shared on the Millennials of New York Facebook and Instagram pages, which have amassed an impressive following since launching in May.

“While I was a student at NYU, I was more pretentious than James Franco wearing a beret while reading a french newspaper and discussing the merits of acupuncture. But after a lot of soul searching, and some really humbling post-collegiate life experiences, now I’m only as pretentious as ‘Shia Labeouf explaining parkour.’”

“There’s nothing I love more than going out in the city. Some of my friends complain about having to pay a cover, but it’s totally worth it. I just don’t think you can put a price on the opportunity to party in an abandoned mannequin factory that’s been converted into the World’s Largest Ball Pit. Plus they’ve all already shown that they are perfectly willing to pay money they don’t have to binge drink with strangers in a dark room and hope nobody starts grinding on their leg. It was called college.”

“This is my favorite shirt. I love Buddhism.”

“I’m a feminist, okay? And I don’t care who knows it. I believe that women are JUST as capable as men, and deserve the right to equal pay. Guys who wouldn’t vote for someone based on their gender offend me to my core. It’s ridiculous, in this day and age, to have a problem with a woman in a position of power. Personally, I would be overjoyed with a female president if she’s not fat.”
