00:00Are millennials finally catching a break?
00:03After years of being seen as entitled and whiny by older generations and embarrassing by Gen Z,
00:09millennial resurgence may actually be around the corner.
00:13Why? Well for one, skinny jeans are reportedly back.
00:17Over the past few months, the style has dominated fashion weeks and runways across the globe.
00:23Gen Z has also fallen head over heels for Lena Dunham's iconic series Girls,
00:28which famously serves as a window into the millennial experience.
00:32And it doesn't stop there. Millennial music is also back in favour.
00:37Indie sleaze has reared its head with artists like The Dare shooting to fame in recent months
00:43and collaborating with big Gen Z favourites.
00:46Maybe it's the unstable state of the world that has Zoomers idolising the past,
00:51or perhaps all ages have a secret yearning for their neighbouring generation.
00:56Either way, millennials are thrilled to finally getting some good press.
