On June 25th, 2019, Twitter[1] user @DK_Hennessy tweeted, "Powered by @HashtagRoundup, it's the @Hash_Off. And the winner is…#MillennialAwardCategories. If Millennials had their own award show, what categories would there be?" The post started a hashtag game about a millennial award show (shown below).

Powered by @HashtagRoundup, it's the @Hash_Off. And the winner is...#MillennialAwardCategories. If Millennials had their own award show, what categories would there be? MILLENNIALS, AMI RIGHT? GIF #BLINDSPOT NBC 6:59 AM - 25 Jun 2019

Following the post, players of the game began posting various stereotypes that are associated with millennials as if they were categories for an award show. For example, Twitter[2] user @tweetfeelsgood tweeted, "Survivor Of The Longest Queue For The Latest iPhone" (shown below, left).

Throughout the day, others did the same, attaching the hashtag to jokes about how some perceive millennials to easily offended or ambivalent (examples below, center and right, respectively).

That day, the website StayHipp[3] published a listicle on the hashtag.
