Millennials: the Musical (no thanks, little snots)


Twitter was “trending” with “Millennial Musicals.” 



What IS the "thinking" behind this type of shit? 

"Wow, my ambition in life is to start a #hashtag game that GOES VIRAL!" Really? What's in it for you? 

Or does everyone work in an office and spend their days fucking around on the Internet?  

Hey, everyone, show off how clever you are, for free. Pretend you're on the staff of "The Tonight Show," only you're just wasting time on Twitter. 

An irony is that the paid writers on "The Tonight Show," run into the ground by puppy Jimmy Fallon, actually USE this ploy. Every week puppy Jimmy snickers and posts a #hashtag topic, and all his Tweeties rush to contribute something funny so that MAYBE they'll be one of the five who get their Tweetie spoken on the air. For freeeeeeee. 

As you'd expect, "come up with a musical for Millennials" yielded a lot of duds. Some of this shit I either didn’t even understand. Or didn’t want to. For instance, Beauty and the Bae, Baes & Dolls, Sunday in the Park with Bae, Little Thot of Horrors, "Fiddler on Fleek, Hedwig and the angry man bun and Phantom of the Man Bun. 

These were OK: 

Rent: My mom pays it.
Okla (I'm living at) Homa!
How to Succeed in Life By Being on Youtube
Jesus Christ, Everyone's a Superstar
Gentrification of the West Side Story
The Sound of Free Music
Willy Wonka and The Fair Trade, Gluten Free, Locally Sourced, Artisanal Chocolate Factory
The Sound of Auto-Tuned Music 
The Best Little Parents' Basement in Texas.
Meh Fair Lady

Well, funnier than the list of jokes at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
